FISHING OFF A AN-OF- WAR.
One Particularly Exciting Catch
Which Raised a Row Among
the JacIXies.

The followers of Izaak Walton on
board a man-of-war are wont to ply the
gentle art with line alone) from over
the ships side during the evening. A
sublieutenant, who was not particular
ly liked by his junior messmates, was
one day SO engaged, when midship-
man, seeing the line depending from
the "chains" above, reached out of one
of the main deck ports and gave it
couple of violent tugs, in imitation of
fish biting. Up the line was hauled with
alacrity, but of course with no result.
Once again the sub essayed to catch
this big fish that had given him so
heavy bite, says Cornhill Magazine.
This time the middy's plan was more
elaborate, for getting a companion to
keep the necessary strain upon the
upper portion, he hauled up the lower
part of the fishing line and attached to
the hooks an old shoe, an empty bottle,
holy stone and sardine tin. Having
carefully lowered these to the full ex-
tent of the line, he gave it a more pow
erful pull than ever, and the expect
ant fisherman above hauled in as fast as
he could, hand over hand. But his Ian
guage when he discovered the nature of
his ''catch' is too much to ask even an
unfortunate compositor to set up in
cold type.

Good Roads.

The model road that Senator
James I'll. Stout has had constructed
at Menomonie is the first step to-
ward bringing Wisconsin into line
with other progressive states that
have realized the advantages ofgood
roads and are building them as
rapidly as possible. Good roads are
as yet novelty TO the people OF this
state and the piece OF road at Me-
the good roads advocates are deslr-
Gus Of having built everywhere. By
bringing General E. g. Harrison, the
road builder of the department OF
agriculture, to construct the MenOm-
onie road, an opportunity has been
offered to a large number OF people
in the northwestern part of the state
to get a good understanding of scien-
ti6c road building methods. General
Harrison has been at great pains to
explain the principles of road build
ing to the people of that section. At
the good roads state day he went
over the subject very thoroughly in
the presence OF number of visitors
from other parts of the state and
his object lesson in road building
ought to convey a large amount Of
useful information that will lead to
the building of other Wisconsin
roads after the methods used at Me
mennonite The building of road in
the proper way is not a difficult task,
as General Harrison has shown.
With the proper machinery and
under the guidance of such instruc-
tions as have been received during
the last few weeks at Menomonie
there should be no difficulty in build
ing more such roads in Wisconsin,

Secretary Alger has gone to New
York on private business and will
not return until next Tuesday, when
he will formally turn over the war
department. to Secretary Root. The
latter was in Washington several
days this week, and nothing but
favorable words are heard from those
who met him.
The slight changes announced this
week in the plans of the battleshlps
Maine, Missouri and Ohio, now in
course Of construction, by the navy
board of bureau chiefs, were not
made necessary by errors in the or
1glnal plans, as the yellow journals
insisted upon publishing. They were
made simply to increase the etficien-
cy OF the vessels, by giving them a
speed of Is knots, instead Of 16, as
under the original plans. The con-
tractors agreed to the changes and
made valuable suggestions to the
board. That is the VIII lie story.
The originator of the story that
Secretary Gage was not legally secre-
tary of the treasury because he owns
stock in the Chicago National bank,
of which he was president before he
entered the cabinet, ought to hire
himself out as a finder of mares
nests. There is no law declaring
holders of national bank stock from
becoming secretary of the treasury,
and as a matter of fact there has
probably not been a secretary OF the
treasury since the national banking
law was enacted who did not own
some of this stock, for the very SIM
pie reason that it would be almost
if not quite impossible to find man
competent to discharge the duties of
secretary of the treasury who does
not hold, a financial interest, If not
an active connection, with a bank.
He must be a fnancier, and the
ablest fnanciers of this and all other
countries are found in the banking
business.

MILLIONS OF STEPS.
A London Bus Conductor Does Lit
tie Figuring on His ExtraOr-
dinary FOotvork.

You know how firing it is to climb up
a flight Of steps, even when they are
well made and nicely upholstered, but
the chances are that you have never
given the bus conductor a thought, al
though he probably climbs more stairs
than any other individual in the world,
says the New York Telegram. An
obliging London bus conductor has
gone into the matter and, being an
adept at figures, as the majority of bus
conductors are, he quickly evolved the
following interesting facts:
There are" he said, mine steps from
the platform to the top of the bus, and
it is rather undertaking it to say that 1
climb that flight of steps IL times an
hour during the Is hours l am on duty
every day; 90 would be nearer the mark,
but to be on the safe side we will put it
down as -.
mine steps at u times an hour, Is
hours day, seven days a week, makes
the nice little total of 11,34O a week,
1880 month CT 569,68O year. The
number of times / step off the bus and
on again and the incidental number of
steps l climb like any other individual
in the ordinary course of life brings the
annual total up, | reckon, to 100000
steps a year.

been working this route just p years,

After Swindling His Patrons for
Eight Years Paris Provision
Merchant Is Caught.

PerdOn, provision merchant of
Paris, has been justly sent to prison
for eight months on a charge of selling
horse patties, says the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Telegraph.
There was no doubt in the least about
his guilt, and he can never be held I'D
to his contemporaries or to posterity
as the victim Of a judicial error. The
bordereau in his case was a small Jar
or pot, which was produced in court
1t was marked outside with the mys-
ferrous letters ''M. H. and the magic
words pate de foie gras which general
ly appeal to epicures.
This alleged pot of goose liver was
simply horsefesh, and, as an official
analyst remarked in court, it was bad
at that. Perdon also sold pots or jars
of alleged patties of duck, pheasant,
quail, hare and lark, but they were all
Of the same foundation. He bought old
horses in the knockers yards, boiled
their flesh, mixed it with a little pork
fat, spiced i with nutmeg, ginger and
cayenne pepper, poured some rum
kirsch or eau de vie over it, and then
put it into the duly labeled pots.
The letters IN. H." were originally
intended to mean honorable mention,
but being brought to bay in court, Per-
don tried to defend himself by assert
ing that they signifed "melange hippo
phagique," and that surely the custom
ers knew what they were buying. It
was no wonder that the learned magis-
trate presiding in the correctional
court remarked, with more emphasis
than elegance: ''Vous avez I'm rude
toupet (You have hard cheek)." Per.
don had been befooling his customers
with horse patties for the last eight
years. He has now gone to reioin in

WASHINGTON, July %, 1899.-

condition. He has secured a man

has been said even by his partisan
opponents; Secretary Hay has sue

Representative Lands, of Indiana,
who was in Washington this week,
looking after some business for his
constituents, said of the situation
Gn his state: "Our people are too
well satisfied with the prosperity un-
der this administration to desire a
change. Everybody is happy and
prosperous. Farmers are paying off
1heir mortgages and loaning money.
They have seen that the price Of
wheat is not dependent upon the
price Of silver, and they have aban-
doned the belief that free coinage is
necessary for good times. If the
Democrats have a spoke left in the
wheels of their political chariot | do
not know it. [ don't believe one
hundred Democrats will march to
the same music in any county in
Indiana. Expansion is very popu-
lar in Indiana, especially among the
country people. The farmer gener
ally likes to hold on to all he can
get, and he carries that idea into
national matters. The Democrats
will make a great mistake if they at

that probability became a fact the
Republicans would almost surely car
ry the state.
Senator Elkins, who was once
seer -tary of war himself, had this

Secretary Alger has been compelled

ito say brutal, assaults. He did not
deserve the harsh things which were
