A FISH STORY.
Some Good Advice Given to Save n
Mans Reputation.

Some Good Advice Given to Save u
Mans Reputation.
He came aboard of q Staten Island
ferryboat with four fish on string,
and, though he had on an old hdt and
seedy coat, he was at once recognized
as an up town New York clergyman.
A score of people who had listened to
his sermons were on the boat, but ere
he could climb the stairs to the prom
enade deck man met him and said:
"Ah, Mv. Blank, l thought it was
you. You have been fishing"
"Yes, been down to Tompkinsvills
for the day. / see some acquaintances
up stairs"
"Yes, but do not go up until I have
had little talk with you. Come back
You have four fish there. Are you go
ing to say they weigh pound apiece"
"Why, two of 'em will weigh at least
20 ounces each, l should say"
Don't say it, man--don't say 1t! If
you speak of your fish, don't even refer
to weight. Not soul will believe that
one of those fish weighs over six
ounces. Did you catch 'em yourself?'
"Of course"
"Then don't admit it--not on your
life! Let it be inferred that you bought
'em of boy"
But if / caught 'em, why not say
SOP asked the good man in surprise.
Because nobody will believe 1t, and
you don't want your integrity doubted.
Did you have some awful big bites?"
Il did. l had one bite which almost
pulled me into the river. l believe that
fish
"Dont Don't do it! On no account
whatever should you speak of that big
bite if you want to keep your reputa-
ton"
that big bite got hold of a fish which
must have weighed Is pounds. AS
! pulled him up the hook"
Eyes, yes, the hook tore out of his
mouth, and you lost him, but don't
even hint at it to any one. You saw
other fishermen, suppose?"
"Yes, sir. fished beside a man who
caught sea bass weighing IA pounds"
"You saw the fish?"
81 did"
| "And there could he no mistaken
"Not the slightest"
"Ah, but what an escape for you'll
How lucky the. l happened to be ON
this boat"
81 must say that i don't exactly un-
derstand you," observed the divine,
with troubled air.
'Wait minute till l drop your fish
overheard. There! Now, then, when
you go up stairs, give the people to un-
derstand that you've been out after
| huckleberries. Don't say fish for a
thousand dollars"
"But I've been fishing"
$50 you have, but don't admit It.
Make 1t huckleberries or blackberries."
'But I've been fishing and caught

lose your influence for good. In less
than three months you will have to re-
sign. know you for good man and
an innocent man, and l would save
you. We will now go up and see the
people. Look calm and dignified. Be
on your guard. Remember about the
huckleberries. Come, now, and If any
one says anything about fish and you
begin to turn pale and stutter, may
heaven aid me to jump into the breach
and save you" NJ. QUAD.
