guage that was being hurled at him
from between teeth so pearly and lips
so rosy and wondered how he was go
ing to make his escape. All that he
could intelligently gather from this
sweet morsel of femininity was that
she would not pay for the waist. she
never intended to pay for it, and she
would see him and his employer as far
from Waterville as they cpuld get,
downward. before she would pay for
it. The young man escaped. He went
to his employer and told him how the
interview mad eliminated.
Then the boss got mad. He sough;
the city marshal. and the city marshal
sought the young woman. He found
where she had three room in three diff
ferent sections of the city. Finally the
officer located his bird" and gave her
the choice to settle for the waist or
take her chances before Judge Shaw.
Scene number two opens here. The
young woman sang to the marshal the
same song that she had sung to the
clerk only she added several verses
that the officer thinks We're entirly I'M
called for. He reported To the dry
lis mind to make an example of his
hysterical customer.
Scene third. Judge Shaw's court. All
hands on. Verdict guilty The fine
was made as light as possible because
it was a woman. Then the respond
ent got mad some more. She had ideas
of her own regarding the conduct OF
court matters. and she did not hesitate
to tell his honor so. She was not one
whit more careful of how she address
ed the court than she was in her con-
versation with the clerk and the mar
shall. The court sat rebuked. for 4
moment. and then when he got a
chance to put in word edge ways. he
said there was such a thing as pun
ishing her for the kind of language
she was using, and intimated that if
she did not havesa care the fine would
amount to something like $40.
She swore real swear that she
would never pay it. but when the court
mentioned 80 days at the Sanitarium
in Augusta. she raised the wind" and
settled paying for the waist. She was
rather the toughest case that the mar
shall has had in hand for long time.

The Mayor and the Fish.

The following from Mayor Redington
of this city, will be of interest to Jour-
nal readers:
Waterville, Me-, Nov. 3, 1897.
Editor of Kennebec Journal:
1t seems to many of our people that
the last edict of the fish commissioners
is very much more sweeping than was
asked for or even thought of. by the
most ardent advocates of protecting
from spOlation our ponds and lakes.
To prohibit fishing through the ice
is. perhaps, all right. but to prohibit
catching any kind of fish in these
waters, from the 18th of Sept. of each
year until the ice goes out the follow
ing spring. seems to be extremely I'M
reasonable and uncalled for AS is
well known. the principal pickerel fish
ing is drought the months of October
and November. They are caught
abundantly in those months in their
haunts among the lily pads and rushes.
No one cares to protect them, as they
are great destroyers of any and every
kind of fish. A few of them will des-
troy thousands of small trout AMI
perch, and in fishing for them in the
fall no trout are caught. Why then
should il be made Illegal to catch them
through the fall months?
Many people very much enjoy this fish
ing for pickerel, and to be deprived of
this right. looks good deal too arbi-
trary. Perch will not take the hook at
this season of the year, so they are safe.
To bar the fishing for pickerel and thus
allow them to increase in these waters
to the destruction of the trout. which we
all want protected, looks like poor iudg-
ment. Ii a trout or perch should happen
to be caught. which would be rare indeed,
even then, the number of pickerel which
would be caught in one day. would pre-
vent from destruction by them 1000 young
trout The commissioners mean to do all
for the best but they should look mat
tiers over carefully before taking decided
action. They have made some mistakes
possibly. and should be thoroughly sure
they are right on all points involved.
Still. for them to prohibits totally,
catching of any kind of a fish for four
years. in any and every stream flowing
into and out of any and all of the ponds
seems to be greatly OVERRIDING the mat
ter or course. no fishing should be al
lowed in the streams where the trout go
to spawn. but take for instance the mud
dy. DOGGY stream running from East to
North pond, which abounds in p;ckereI
and in which no trout are ever found
as also the Messalonskee stream running
through our own city and emptying into
the kennebec mile and a half below
here-no fish can get into it from any
pond. as Just below Oakland is the Cas-
cade, a mighty fall also several dams.
This stream is some seven miles long.
abounds in chubs, eels yellow. perch.
black bass and pickerel, but no trout or
white perch. Now. to prevent poor peo-
pie, VINO at times need. as many do,
mess of these fish. from catching. is as
l look at it, wrong, and is benefit to
no one. c. H. REDINGTON,

Capt. Shurteleff of Co. H, I'd Regi-
ment N. G. S. NJ, of this city, is think
ing Of instituting course of military
lectures before his command, the COM
ing winter. Undoubtedly Capt. c. G.
Morton of the regular army, stationed
at Portland as inspector of the Maine
National Guard, will be one of the
speakers and Adjutant General Rich
ards will also address the men. In the
words of an old ex-Guardsman: There
is nothing like giving the Guardsman a
thorough course of instruction in what
makes the soldier. when he first enters
the Guard. If the school for the SOL
der is neglected. when the man be-
comes accustomed to simply obeying
orders'in any old way. the fault is east
ly traced back to the neglect on the
part of the commanding officer when
the man was raw recuit."

She Is a Female Tartar.

You have seen the cloud arise in the

have watched it until it came to be a

woman, one of the pretty, innocent
looking creatures that make life worth
the living until she gets to going on
the wrong track and then lets loose
for revenge. This woman, young and
pretty, had gone to dry goods store,
some days before, and secured a silk
waist which she took home without
taking the trouble to pay for it, 1t
was charged up to her, and the pro-
prletOr OF that store waited for the
cash to come. but it came not. Now
the store keeper is doing good bust
ness, thank you, but is not doing
enough so that you will notice him
throwing silk waists to the winds, and
he at once decided that he would send
one of his good looking young gentle
men clerks to collect the $3.50 due from
the handsome brunette.
The young man introduced himself in
his politest way and intimated that his
business was the collection of a small
bill. Here the story changes. This
young and pretty woman got mad
