only one tunnel is being pierced, the

Knowledge L. Power.

An Illustration OF the truth OF this
proverb Is found In Mr.. J. G.. Bertram's
book. THE Harvest OF the Sea" IL
seems that n monopoly Of the extern
siye fisheries OF Scotland and England
once came into the hands OF man
who kept his agents at the principal
stations and required them 20 furnish
him all facts that came TO their knowl-
edge.
AT one OF his stations In the far north
the fishing had been unsuccessful for
the greater part OF the season, and
there was no prospect OF improvement.
when be- looked into the natter Upon
examining his agents letters from
that place for some years back he
found by a comparison OF dates that
at certain place behring's were likely
to be found. lie accordingly instructed
his agent 10 send his boats 10 that
spot.
The fishermen laughed NJ the idea
Of man sitting some hundreds OF
miles away and telling them where to
get fish. but as his orders were posi-.
tive they had TO obey. and the conse-
quence was that they returned next
morning loaded with behring's.

Hoyt's Comedy Company.

Hoyt's Comedy Company gave
matinee and night performances at
the opera house for Christmas, and
had large and appreciative audi
ences. II is freely stated by many
that the company gives a better
show than many dollar attractions
that have been here. The plays
presented have not been old and
worn out, as is 30 often the case
with repertoire companies, and
whether the audience is large or
small the members Of the company
strive honestly TO please. The
specialties are fine and up-to. date
and change with each performance.
"Monte Cristo" will be presented
tonight.
