but he dies in an ecstasy or enjoyment
instead of dying in his appointed fash
ion by suffocation in the nav of some
bigger fish.
In n footnote to the thirteenth canto
of "Don Juan" Byron denounces Izaak
Walton as n Sentimental savage" and
churacterizes fishing as "the cruelest,
the coolest of pretended sports" That
only shows how little Byron knew
about the matter. His sports involved
the sacrifice of women rather than
worms.
II Is time to set this matter of fish
ing upon It's moral legs, as II were, an
end to be accomplished merely by tell
ing the truth about 1t. A fish Is the
very lowest form of the vertebrates. 1t
is incapable of any JOY except that of
getting hooked and thus drawn out of
the water to which It's nature con-
demns it and for time breathing the
air that intoxicates 1t in delightfully."-
deadly fashion. 1t has not even the in
stlnct of sexual association except in
the case Of few rare species 1t
knows nothing of companionship, for
the scientists tell us that even when
fish swim in schools" 1t Is only be-
cause they are engaged In common
predatory pursuit Of prey, each endeav-
orlng TO snatch from the others the
morsels they seek TO swallow.
So low III the scale Is the fish that
even in eating he has no pleasure ex-
cept that Of distending his stomach.
For the scientists find no taste COB
let's" Mt the base of his tongue, and ev-
cry fisherman knows that the fish
swallows his prey whole, with no pos
sibility OF detecting Its flavor And
further, every fisherman who has troll
ed knows that the fish ls so far an in
discriminate gormand in his search for
food that he will swallow a coffee
spoon with n bur attached as readily
as the daintlest bait morsel that could
be displayed in front OF his greedy eyes
and his rapnclous mouth,
still again, every fish that Is caught
upon hook gets only what he de-
serves. He IL caught every time in an
attempt to swallow some other crea-
ture whole and digest It in slow tor
ture. Indeed the entire life OF every
fish is passed in ceaseless endeavor
TO catch and swallow other fish SO far
as science can discover, fish of most
species make no distinction even in IA
vor OF their own young. their only
ground of selection being consldern-
tlon for their individual throats In the
act of swallowing On that account
alone the severely spined suntlsh es-
capes the predatory perch, ana the
bullhead the moment his horns" are
hard ceases to be In danger even from
the most yoracious of pickerel.
The fisherman Is not n monster of
wnnton cruelty. He Is merely de-
scendant of Adam exercising that "do.
mlnion" over inferior creatures which
God authorized him to exercise

She rushed up stairs to find Mrs.
Bowser, and after moment of dis

AS Patrick Hcnry's great speech had
been lost In the shuttle, he turned to
"BIngen on the Rhine" He had spo-

CRUELTY OF THE SORT.

Capacity For suffering and Even
Little Pleasure In Eating.
A little boy was fshing for the lirst
time. With the customary luck OF Il
beginner he had bass and perch galore

Presently the impulses Of the hu
name side of mis- nature made little
hesltalIng protest against the more
savage Instincts OF the sportsmanlike
side. The wrigglng Of the hsh when
ho caught them troubled hi'n, and he
sought to apologize to his conscience
for the suffering he was apparently in
fllcting, He said, 81 think the reason
they jump so Is that they are so glad to
get out OF that wet water"
Curlously enough, II we may accept
the testimony Of the scientists, the lit

Mrs. Bowser went up stairs without
stairs and out Of doors, but changed
her mind and stopped to see the thing
out. The Bowser cat is like Mr.. Bow
ser hmself--full of perversity. After
the neighbors seemed to have settled
down from their scare Mr.. Bowser
looked ont of the front windows to see
that the coast was clear of policemen,
and, returning to the phonograph, he
said to himself 2
''If they don't want to hear my voice
after am dead and gone, they can go
to grass. I'll leave 1t behind me at
any rate. Instead of singing III make

patriots were going to do when the
cook came up from the Kitchen. She

Arrival home the other evening there
came a delivery wagon with phono-
observe that she had been expecting
him to develop new fad for week
past he FASTENED to explain:
cts q phonograph l bought second
hand and at the biggest bargain you
ever heard of. In fact, it was almost
given to me. There can be no fad
about phonograph. You just wait till
after dinner, and if 1t don't prove the
most interesting thing in this house I'll
throw it over the fence"
Mrs. Bowser knew all about phono-
graphs, of course, and she did not OBJ
feet to 1t as a phonograph. If Mr.. Bow
ser could raise row over harp, fid-
die, fire escape, n recipe for root beer
and lost dog, she felt that a phono-
graph might bring trouble. Little more
was said until after dinner. Then the
instrument was placed in the sitting
room and set going, and for half an
hour all went well. It brought forth
song and speech and conversation and
seemed perfectly harmless to raise a
family row. Mr.. Bowser hadn't been
SO tickled since he paid $15 for buz-
zard under the patriotic idea that be
was buying an American eagle.
"By George" he exclaimed as he and
Mrs. Bowser and the cat sat in half
circle about the phonograph, "but we've

thing here than all the pianos, fiddles

Horseshoes are OF uncertain date and
have caused some discussion among
military historians. Nailed shoes were
not known by the Greeks, for Keno
phon gives minute instructions for
hardening the hoof. Nor did the Ro-
mans use them. Nero had mules shod
with a plate of silver fastened by
crossed thongs to the hoof. With Pop
pea, his later wife, it is said these
plates were Of gold. The earliest posi-.
tive evidence of nailed shoes is fur
