UNDo1NG OF FATHER ABRAHAM
Love Spurned Betrayed the Secret Of
 How to Catch the Big Trout.

Charles Faro. the trout sharp of eastern Pennsylvania, was in Reading this week from his Lehigh county farm and in great glee told the story of the capture of Father Abraham, patriarch of all the trout in this region, for which the star anglers of many towns have been fishing for many seasons
 You know" he said, T just got tired of hearing the sports tell of their failures above and below Powder Mill dam. Some said they had seen the big trout, others that they had hooked the old fellow, but all came home without him. learned from a young farmer that he had seen the big trout take flies from the top of chips floating down stream, but he warned me not to give him away. That gave me a pointer I kept tfts secret, of course. oYu know the stream comes down s shaped, kind of. and big tree has been blown down across the stream. This has formed an eddy. Well, sir, I went up above the dam, and got about two dozen thin small chips and let out about $50 feet of line
 well, sir, the fly 1oated down all right and the first thing I knew that big trout had 1eaped from the water and scooped my fly clean off the chip. gave a yank and knew l had him. was two hours in landing that trout He gave me the hardest fight I ever had, and 1 was red hot by the time had him on the grass. Just as I had landed the trout the old farmer that owned the place came running up, and seeing my big catch burst into tears, and in Pennsylvania German ex- claimed:
 "'You have my Father Abraham! You have my Father Abraham,'
 '-The old man related how he had petted that trout; how he had gloried in the defeat of so many fishermen and how he had taught the fish to take f1Les from chips. He said he had kept this trick of the trout a secret, and he thought it was known to no one. I gave the old man a dollar to quiet him. but he has never found out who told his secret. I have since learned that the young farmer wanted to court the old mans daughter but was chased off and in revenge he gave me the tip how to capture the big trout. Well, str, that fish made a mess for the whole family, myself and the cat. New York Sun

TWAIN'S LATEST JOKE.

The American newspapers have been calling Mir. Clemens ''the am bassador- at-large of the United States of Amer:ea,' but humorists in the.r hours of relaxation have a habit of taking jokes seriously. That appar- ently is Mark Twain's way. MT Clem- ens and his family, who will reach London about the beginning of June, will probably spend a couple of months in England prior to their re- turn to America in October
 MT. Clemens has kindly given me permission to telegraph to the Tines some particulars of pet scheme of his to which he has already devoted a great deal of his time, and which will occupy great part of the remainder of his life. In some respects it will be unparalleled in the history of lit erature. It is a 5equeslc to posuerity in which none of those now living and comparatively few of their grandchiI- dren even, will have any part or share. TEis is a work which is only to be published 100 years after his death as portrait gallery of conItem poraries with whom he has come into personal contact. These are drawn solely for his own pleasure in the work and with the single object of telling the truth, the whole truth, and noth- ing but the truth, without malice, and to serve no grudge, but, at the same time, without respect of persons or social conventions, institutions, or prudeTies of any kind. These portraits of men and women, painted with all their warts, as we'll as with every at tractive feature which has caught his eye, will not be written in the style of of Mark Twsins. books, which their author anticipates will be forgotten by the time his gallery is published. Any humor they may contain will be enr tirely unsought. It must be inherent in the subject If it is to appear in the portrait.
 In MT Clemens opinion, a work of the kind he proposes is only possible under the conditions he has lad down for himself. To use his own words:
 "A book that is not to be published

VOORHEES, JOKE HUNG THE JURY

''The greatest jury orator I ever lis tened to in my life was the late Daniel w. Voorhees, said a well-known New ence, a great resonant bass voice and bearing so singu1arly compelling that I know Of nothing except the trite word magnetic that begins to define it's effect. I heard him in mur- der trial at Louisville, and his speech on that occasion was prefaced by a most amusing incident which 1 have never seen in paint It was very warm day and the courtroom was packed to suffocation As Voorhees rose to begin his argument he cast his eye over the jury and discovered that one of the members had fallen asleep. Browning with indignation, he mo- toned to one of the court officials, and in a few seconds the slumbering man was shaken rudely into consciousness. He was a fat, timid-looking man and was so mortified and aghast at the enormity of his offense that he could hardly find words in which to reply to the sharp questions of the judge
 Finally he managed to blurt out that he couldn't help dozsng eff whenever It was warm and crowded. If the gen. tleman always sleeps where it is warm and crowdedr said Voorhees, majesti- cally, the gentleman will no doubt enjoy himself hugely in hades.' There was a roar of laughter, but the retort pl0veI rather costly. The fat man hung the jury against Voorhees, eli ent."-New Orleans Times-DemCcrat.

GOOD USE OF HIS DEAD COWS

It was great scheme" laughed me claim agent, "and if I hadn't by the mereSt chance tumbled to the old mans game it might have been going On yet. Some time ago I was notified that man down the read had had q COW killed by the cars, and that he had put in claim for damages. I looked the matter up, and as it was perfectly straight On the face of it there was nothing to do but to settle with the old man on the best terms that I could get did so and was hardly back when I was again notified that the old man had had another COW killed by the cars.
 T looked into that claim a little more carefully, but it was all right as could see, and I settled with him. Be- fore l had time to catch a train back to the city the old man sent me word that he had had another COW killed by the cars. This struck me as being very strange, particularly so as none Of the train crews had reported killing any cows. Moreover, they all denied it when questioned about it.
 -'I went cut where the COW was still lying by the side of the track and found it almost cut to pieces I was about to settle with the old man, as there was no ether way out of it, when his 10-year-Old boy came run ming up.
 ePop!' he gasped, there's another COW dead! Hurry up and we'll drag her down here and make the old railroad think that they have killed two this time
 Well, the truth of the matter was that the old mans stock lad been dying from some cause, and he with great fCrethought had dragged the vic tins down on the railroad grade, pounded a few holes in them with a pickax, and then calmly notified the railroad to settle ''-New York Sun.

A COUNT IN TRAMP'S GUISE.
He Has Wandered on Foot for Thirty
 Seven Years.

Count Rosso Dianovich, an Austrian nobleman whc' for thirty-seven years has wandered on foot ever most of the known regions of the globe, is now in this country He is preparing book upon public institutions, manners and customs in all parts of the world, and he gets his material at first hand by going about in a dingy derby, thread bare coat, a flannel shirt held in place at the throat by narrow necktie. A tramp in appearance, he carries about a handbag containing dirty note books, newspaper clippings and other stuff of nc value to the owner. On the road he is known, somewhat to his dislike, as "the Noble Hobo," though he pays his way. The count is short and sturdy, wears mutton chop whisk- CTS and speaks seven languages with more or less fuency.
 Says the count Of his prison observa- tions: America has the best penal institutions: England has the worst, and treats her prisoners more harshl. than any other nation.
