CHECKERS ON THE FARA.
The checkerboard is all worn out

The checkerboard Is all worn out
From use each winter night;
The checkers have become begrimed,
Which once were shining bright,
But still the game goes straightway on,
Although the squares are blurs,
While Cynthy pens up Reuben's men
Or Reuben captures hers.
Sometimes the old man takes q hand
To show his practiced skill,
And then the farmhands circle round,
While every one is still.
They would not say single word
That would distract his play;
So breathless they observe him drive
Young Reuben's men to bay.
All, what would winter evenings be
Without the checkerboard,
With double corners, jumps and moves
And fun which they affordI
Our dissipation oft consists
In too much checkers here,
Which makes the gossips tell about
Our checkered life's career.

BAIT FOR SUNFISH.,
One Mans Method of Going Fishing
With His Boots.

One Mans Method of Going Fishing
With His Boots.
There is about as much sport in
catching the big sunfish as in Hfting
out the crappie if you can get the
former in one of its savage moods.
Peiker is a great CRATER on ,sunfsh.
He has got a dozen different kinds Of
bait, but he says that it IS all nonsense
to trouble about digging worms. He
declares that beef run through ham,
burg steak grinder is just the proper
caper for the sunfish at Creve Cpur
lake. The tougher the beef the better,
as it will cut in long strips like angle
worms.
"When the sunfish are biting right
smart, it is about all that can do to be
kept in the shop" said Peiker. 81 be-
lieve me and the sunfiSh are the most
cheering things out. Do you know, l
have noticed old time fishermen at
Breese's lake wading around in the
shallow water, where the sunfsh are
found at spawning time, as carefully
as If they were fishing for trout. NOW,
it is different with me when go out
with my hamburg steak to feed the
golden bellied beauties on. 1 just tie
the line to each leg of my boots, take q
little short rod in my hand and stride
into the water and go ahead. On the
bootleg lines 1 use red flies. Why, the
sunfish come up and get stuck on my
fly hooks three or four at time. That's
the way to catch a mess of fish in a
few hours.
81 can catch crappie with crawfsh
tails to beat the band If cannot get
minnOws. Crickets are great sunfsh
and bass bait, while the katydids will
make crappie leave its bed at mid
night. Just let your hook sing once

Tho Heart as a Bequest.

1t was a common thing in olden days
for a testator to dispose of his heart
by will. Edward I. left directions for
the burial of his heart in the Holy
Land; the famous Earl Of Millent and
Leicester, who flourished in the early
part of the twelfth century, beQueathed
his heart to a hospital at Brockley,
where he desired 1t to be preserved in
salt; a slster-in-law of Henry ILL.,,
who died at Berkhampstead in 1889,
ordered her heart to be sent in a silver
cup to the Abbot of Tewkesbury, who
was enjoined to bury 1t before the high
altar. In modern times such testa-
mentary directions have been extreme
ly rare. The late Marquis Of Butte,
whose relatives have gone to Palestine
to fulfill his desire for the interment
of his heart on the Mount of Olives, is
the only testator in recent years who
has expressed such a wish,-London

You sing the ol' song to the end.

Read with Your whole Mind.

A worthy book represents the auth
or's best thought, and should be read
by us with no less effort than was re-
quired by him to write it. We should
abstract to the extent that we become
Oblivious to everything about us, and
live with whole mind and heart in the
author we read. An interesting story
of abstraction is told Of the great Ital-
ian poet Dante, He attended circus,
and while waiting for the procession
his eyes fell upon a book, He picked
it up and began to read, and became
so much absorbed that the procession
passed without his knowing it--New

Doves in a Chimney.

An Augusta (Me) tinancler has a
large old-fashloned chimney in his
house, subdiyided into several flues,
and a great many doves have formed
the habit of making their home there
in. 1t is unusual for doves to make
chlmneys their habitatlon, but this one
is full of them at all seasons Of the
year. 1t would seem that the dust and
smoke would prove too much for them,
but only two or three have been known
to perish, and those were the young
birds.
