at last seen the error of his ways and
sighed to take another track and be

Jones-Jones. 1t struck me that there
was an extra amount of Jones about
him, but the name is an honest one,
and l didn't find fault about 1t. He
was man of about 40, with all the
evidences of his career in his face. but
didn't look for babylike innocence in
his eyes. When lie threw himself
upon my mercy. as it were-when he
made a clean breast of his wicked ca
reer and added that If any one would
point out the path of honesty he would
turn into it and travel on without a
limp, agreed to take him In hand. He
had whlskers with which the police
were acquainted. and l sent him to
barber shop. He had clothes which
gave him away as a dead game sport,
and l bought him a modest suit of
blue. Then l gave him money for
weeks vacation from crime, and when
the vacation was over we were to see
what further could be done. took my

FISHERMEN MAKING PREPARATIONS.
Anticipation That the Lakes Will Open EarIi,r
Than Usual.

The fishermen are looking over their
tackle with the idea that they can have
the first cast in about two weeks. 1t
is reported from SebaEo lake. that the
ice will probably go out. by April 20
This is several weeks earlier than
usual. as the ice does not usually go
out until May /.
As this is one of the first lakes to
open the fishermen are waiting with a
great deal of impatience for the oppor-
tunity to be given them to see if they
have lost their skill in casting a fly.
Land locked salmon are the principal
objects Of the casts of the fishermen
there and it is believed that there will
be good sport there. this year, from the
fact that the commissioners have been
stocking the pond. The fishing in these
waters the older fishermen say is very
uncertain as the sportsmen may have
the very best of luck, one day, and the
next do absolutely nothing. But in
spite Of this uncertainty the fishermen
always seek that lake since it is one
Of the first to open.
The next place the Augusta fisher
men will look toward is Lake Auburn.
as that will be one of the next places
to clear of ice. The local fishermen
are anticipating more sport than usual.

the lake but it is believed that the
screens which have recently been
placed at the outlet will prove of the
greatest value so that. this year. the
fishermen will get some return for his
display Of skill.
1t is also expected that Snow pond

yield land locked salmon in great num-
bers. The pond has been heavily
stocked in the past, but no results
shown. Attorney General Haincs has
had this matter under advisement and.

therefore. that this pond will show
some returns for the work done.

Great and Long ponds will, it is be
lieved, be better than ever. this year.
These ponds will clear of ice. the
guides say by the middle of the month
and already the lovers of trout fishing
are planning to be there when the ice
goes out.
1t is anticipated that the ice will
leave all of the ponds by the usual
time in spite of the ice being 50 thick.
Many of the guides have stated that
there is no question in their minds
that the ponds will be clear by the
middle of the month. In the meantime
the fishermen are either ordering new
rods or fixing up the old in anticipation
of one of the best seasons they have
had.

LOOKS UNSETTLED.
Coal Dealers Guessing What the Next Move
Will Be.

The outlook as rewards prices of coal
is very uncertain ana the coal dealers
are holding back before placing any
orders that they may gain some idea
what is coming. But even should
there be an advance in price to the
dealers ii is not probable that the price
will be advanced for the consumer.
The first sch loner for this year is now
on the way from New York. and will
probably be here inside of two weeks.
Just when it is impossible To say. as
ii may take IS hours and it may take
three weeks. The uncertainty is due
To the wind as the schooners are held

The local dealers came out of the
threatened shortage much better than
was expected. There is more than
enough of some kinds on hand. while
of other kinds it has been necessary
To supply the demand by having the
coal shipped from Portland by rail.
This is especially true of the soft coal.
AS this is the Legislative year the
dealers are planning to put in a larger
supply than usual. as it is estimated
that the city uses 1000 tons Of coal
more during the Legislative winter
than during the off year.
Purnton Bros are planning to erect
a new coal shed of 1000 tons capacity.
That will he located near the present
sheds and will give the firm Il total ca
