TO put on patrol steam or gasoline

will see to it that none but resident
citizens Of the United States engage
In hshinS on the river, and that the
net-stealing business Is stopped, The
court is confident II residents who are
entitled 10 fish will take out licenses
and assist the officers IN enforcing
the law to prevent aliens and non-resi-
dents from fishing, that much good
can be accomplished. The money de-
rived from the licenses will be devoted

So iN spite of all Ghe gamekeeper could think, feel or say 8 pheasant was procured, tied by it's leg to the top of a post, and Malakhoff was put some 30 yards of with double barreled gun. It waa supposed that he would thereupon and thence take ewo shots at the bird. Not a bit of it. He loaded both barrels, walked close up to the pheasant, put the muzzle close to him and discharged both barrels into him, with Hel CO., quin. 7" The next day the Duke of Well lington told the keeper that Malakhoff was a great man who had smoked to death 500 Arab men, women and ehil- dren in cave, to which the gamekeep- CT replied: "Like enough, your grace He'd be capable of anything.

 .'Did you ever notice, D said q veteran tonsorial artist, who had shaved New Hayeners since 1873, to a New Haven Register man, that you only sec few old barbers?'
 "Why is it?"
 There are e good many reasons, :" answered the veteran knight of the blade. T suppose the chief one is that a barber's hand becomes unsteady after he gets to be about 40 years old and he has to give up. A good many barbers drink hard, and that makes their nerves and hands unfit for service, and they retire before they cut their customers throats. Still, will say that in all my experience of S7 years never saw Q man badly cut by barber, not even by ali accident for which the barber was not responsible. "
 What becomes of the barbers after they retire?"
 "Oh, some of them go to the poor house, D he replied, with twinkle i'll his eye, land some of them, who have saved their wages, buy little places and live on them, perhaps running farm. Some of them, of course, go into other business, perhaps booHselling or else be- come insurance agents. I have heard of barbers whS gave up tho business arG became butoESars.

 Mrs. Dawson had the womanly love for bargain. She had often spent 10 cents car faro to secure some lovely treasure that was marked down from S1 to 98 cents just for that day She was more than provoked that Dawson, who was with her, did not grow enthu- siastic.

 Dawson was certain tho suits would be as cheap next week, but his wifo re- fused to move on and dragged the help less man into the store. The polite clerk assured them that it was the bar gain of the century and that this week was positively the last.
 With mental protests, but with out ward calm, Dawson, like clay in the hands of the potter, allowed himself to be measured. Then he left deposit He called in four days and took the shit away

 The attention of builders is being drawn to the value of bamboo as building ma terial. The great strength of bamboo poles is not at all understood by tic ma iority of persons. It is stated on excellent authority that two bamboo poles, each of them 7-10 inches i'll diameter, when placed side by side, will support 8 grand piano slung between them by ropes and that they will neither sag nor break under the burden. Bamboo will form poles 66 to 70 feet long and from to 10 inches sn diameter. A derrick, 26 feet high, made of inch bamboo poles raised two iron girders, weighing together 424 pounds. The wonderful lightness of this material in proportion to it's strength has excited somment of late, and new uses are con stantly r~ing made of it. Scaffoldings oi bamboo have the advantage of lightness snd strength. It ia predicted that this material will come into general use for suoh purposes. An additional advantage ia Chat bamboo resists decay in water as well as in the earth, that the older and drier se gets the more solid 1t becomes, and that as can be grown for an incredibly small sum.

Many singers fail to realize the inn Dortaneo of distinct enunciation, and the charm of beautiful voice is often lost by the listener who is yainly strug- QIing to catch tho meaning of the song. A young woman who considers her self an admirable ballad singer one day received a severe shock from the crit. icism of an old lady who had formed one of her audience. Among other bal lads the singer had rendered Rory O'More" in her best style and had re- oeived much applause.
 Tho old lady. who sat in the from seat in the little hall where the enteF- tainment was given. looked at first pug zied and then distressed as the familiar song proceeded, and at the close of the concert she waited to speak to the young wonlan.

NEW PROCEEDINGS STARTED.
Justice knott Will Hear the Wash.
ington House Case,

The suit of Margaret Duane VS..
John A. and VIM. Leifferman to OBJ
tain possession of the Washington
House has been commenced again,
this time before Justice knott, in
Mankato township. The papers were
served Saturday, and the case will be
tried March 1St. W. L. ComstOck is
attorney for the plaintiff, and Arthur
Schaub and Pau & Pfau for the de-
PENDANTS. The complaint alleges that
there is S62 due and unpaid for rent,
The defendants leased the hotel
last October for $40 month, and it
was subsequently agreed that S. a
month for four months should be
used in repairing some of the rooms.
A Mr.. Hadley desires to lease the
hotel for a year. The present lessees
have the barn also, and as long as they
have possession, Martin Wiltgen can
not build his new livery barn.
The defense will probably enter a
demurrer on the ground that the case
is the same that was tried and dis
posed of in the municipal court.
