HAD ITS FIGHT OUT.
Pickerel Waited Until Kimble Went
 and Killed Deer.
Then the old Walloper Made Things Lively for His Human Antagonist, But in the End Was Ignomin-
 iously Vanquished.

tsThe biggest pickerel I ever caught,," said Jack Kimble, of Pan pack, Pa., to a New York Sun corre- spondent, waited to have its fight out with me while l went and killed one of the biggest doe deers ever saw, although 1 didn't want to kill the doe. l had to.
 ''It was over on Big Pond, in Pal myra. George Killam and l were fishing through the ice. One of my tip-ups had tipped with vim that only big fish could put into tip- up, and the minute I grabbed the line and began to haul in knew the boss pickerel was on the hook.
 Big pickerel like that are apt not to stay on the hook a great while, and if you want to land lem you don't want to give lem much time to daily with the hook, and at the same time you want to be mighty careful how you haul lem up from below and out of the hole in the ice.
 'I didn't give this fellow any more time than I thought was necessary for him to get good hold on the hook, and I was hauling him up with out any delay the hauling. I had got him where could see him surg ing in the water and doing his best to get loose. and his jaws stood open like an alligator's.
 "'Gosh'lmighty!' said I. He's the daddy of 'em all.'
 'Just then I heard something that I hadn't expected to hear, but l knew instantly what it was. It was the plaintive bleat that a doe deer gives when in horror or pain. forgot about the big pickerel. I dropped the line, and it went whizzing back through the hole in the ice.
 t'I looked in the direction from which the cry of the deer had come. A quarter of mile away, near the upper edge of the pond, saw the doe. She was big one, and was struggling on the ice with three hounds, which had chased and cap tured her.

HAS UNIQUE RECORD.
Congressional Career of Galusha 4.
 Grow Is Wonderful.
Only Man Now Living Who Entered the House of Representatives Fifty Years Ago-Author of
 Homestead Law.

Pennsylvania, which has long been noted for the number of fathers of the house of representatives" which it has furnished, has now another claim to distinction. It has man in the house who entered that body 50 years ago. This is Galusha A. Grow. Mr. Grow became a member of that chamber in 1851, succeeding David Wilmot, the man whose ex- clusion- slavery from-the-territorie proyiso of 1S46 became the cardinal tenet in the creed of the republican party, which was founded in 1854, of which organization Grow as well as Wilmot was among the pioneers. Grow was also speaker of the first congress of the civil war, the one called in extra session by President Lincoln on July 4, 1861, and which transacted more business of vital consequence to the country in the B days of that session than any other congress did before or since in the same length of time.
 Mir. Grow, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, has not served continuous ly in congress since his first entrance half a century ago. He was in con- stantly from 1851 to 1863, and then he dropped out till 1894, since which time his name has been continuous ly on the rolls of the house. But the time which has elapsed since his first appearance in congress covers broader stretch of time than has ex- tended between the congressional en- trance and exit of any other Amer jean. Merrill and Sherman were in congress more years than Grow, but he was in four years earlier than they. Men are in each branch to-day who have served through more con- gressional terms than has the Penn sylvanian, but he holds the ''long-dis- tance record" as Senator Isham G. Harris did at one time. Harris en- tered congress two years earlier than

Director Dodge Reports Universal Interest Throughout the Country.

Director Dodge Reports Universal
 Interest Throughout the Country.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The report for 1901 of Hon. Martin Dodge, director Of the office of public road inquiries of the agricultural department, has just been issued MT. Dodge says that the work of his office during the year was continued along the lines laid down in previous reports. Representa- lives of the office visited nearly all the states and made scientific investiga tions regarding local conditions, road materials, etc Several state legisla- lures were furnished assistance in framing new road laws. Farmers or ganizations, farmers institutes, busi- ness organizations, schools and col leges petitioning for cooperation and advice were accommodated as far as the resources of the office permitted.
 Never before in the history of this been so much interest manifested in the subject of road building, and more actual work in that line was done last year than ever before.
 1t is the intention of the director in continuing the work during the en- suing year to enlarge its scope so far as the appropriation will permit.
 Out of a large number of requests for practical cooperation five places have been selected where the office will as- sist in building object lesson roads. These places are Buffalo, Cumberland, Md; Charlotte, Va; Janesboro, Tenn, and Tama, Ia.
 The director says that it should be distinctly understood that the work of the office is purely educational. There is no intention to shift the burden and responsibility of constructing improv- ed roads from the states and counties to the general government.
