A fisherman once took his cornet to the
lake with him, in hopes that his harmonious
notes would have a hypnotic influence in
attracting the fish to his hook
As soon as he had set his lines he raised
the cornet to his lips, and soon made the
welkin ring with some of the latest popular
airs, but without the expected result of gain
ing bites.
"Perhaps I don't play loud enough" he
thought. So he blew his cornet louder, but
still no nibble.
"Confound it," he exclaimed. "Where
are all the suckers today"
At that moment he glanced to the oppo-
site extremity of the lake, where he saw an
other angler pulling in fish hand over hand,
who, seeing he was observed by the cornet.

NO NOTICE TAKEN
Of Demand of Carpenters for Raise in
 Wages

As yet the builders and contractors have taken no official notice of the demand of the Carpenters union for raise in wages. It is probable that a meeting to consider the matter will be called one day during this week.
 Secretary Lewis, of the Builders and Traders exchange, said yesterday after noon that the contractors were perfectly willing to consider the demand if the car penters would give them time. He said that the carpenters had made similar demand on August 29, and had asked for conference The conference was held and they agreed to the raise provided the car penters would give them forty-five days time.
 They could not stand raise at that time. as contracts then existing were made on the old basis.
 Mr. Lewis said that the carpenters had not stuck to the agreement, but at their recent meeting proposed that the raise go into effect on next Saturday. The carpen- ters demand that they be paid a scale of g minimum and work nine hours instead of ten.
 The contractors were not expecting this until October 14 when the forty-five days as agreed on would expire. They say that this agreement would be satisfactory to them, but that they cannot afford to allow the raise now, as most of their present con tracts were made on the old basis.
 President Wolenhaupt, of the Carpen- ters union, could not be seen yesterday af- ternoon, but several of the carpenters said that they were entitled to the raise, and hoped that it would be granted without any trouble. They say they are only ask ing what is right and just.

The line has been allowed to run down, and will have to be almost entirely rebuilt. New ties will be laid and new rails will be re- quired here and there. It is expected that tne material will arrive in a short time, and the work of constructing will be pushed rapidly.
 The Avenue F loop, d part of the High land Avenue and Belt. which has been abandoned, will also be equipped with electricity.
