BY NICE CALCULATION.
The Editor Figured He Had Bought a
 Record Breaker.

At a certain season of the year usually about the 1st of 0etober-it is the custom of the commissioners who have charge of the great parks in Chi cago to permit fishing in the artificial lakes at certain hours in the morning, the fishermen in all cases being re- Quired to use the boats that are kept for hire. This is to prevent the banks from being thronged with gangs of hoodlums. Early one October morn ing the editor of one of the great Chi- cago dailies appeared at west side park with friend, both equipped with fishing outfits of the most approved pattern. They secured boat, and then the editor inquired if there were any live minnoWs on hand. The keep CT of the boathouse inspected his bait bucket and found just one, a diininu- tive specimen. about an inch and half in length. He fshed this out and handed it over. Throwing him silver half dollar and telling him to keep the change. the editor took the minnow, climbed into the boat and rowed out to the middle of the lake, where he fished for half an hour without result. At the end of that time he hauled in his line, looked carefully at the min- now, took a pencil and note book from his pocket, did a little figuring. and returned to the shore What did you get?s he was asked when he ap- peared at the office later in the day, One fish," he replied, "and 1t cost me $200 a pound" This, it is believed, is the highest price ever paid for live fish in Chicago.
