THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE.
Same Last Year, This Year and VIII
Continue the Same While
Time Goes On.

"This is the season for commence
ments," remarked a man who is %
cynical turn of mind, relates 4
Washington paper. Il feel like leay-
ing town for month, and 1 certainly
would if I happened to be situated as
| was a few years ago. Of course, it
is all right for the doting parents, the
proud relatives and the sweethearts
of those who are to receive diplomas,
but when a fellow, for business rea-
sons, has to sit through nine out of
every ten of the graduating cere-
monies of the educat ional institu-
tions in a city of the size of Washing
ton, as fell to my lot, existence is, to
say the least, monotonous for the
time being.
81 have particular grievance
against the valedictorians," the man
of grumpy disposition went 3on to say.
They strike me as being all alike,
especially the sweet girl graduate
[ can hear her now. Invariably she
starts off with this:
"'Our lives are like canoe Gid
ing down a stream. Occasionally we
encounter driftwood, which consti-
tutes the obstacles of life.'
Turning a page of her manuscript
the sweet girl always calls attention
to the fact that:
'Tennyson has truly said
"And then goes on to spring a SEN
tence that has been used in similar
| way as far back as we are able to re-
member.
''Of course, the valedictory of the
girl graduate would not be complete

been ever patient with US

season of commandments if my life
depended on my attending the exer.

Persian Women.

In justice to the people of Persia let
it be said that the women are hardly
such downtrodden creatures as they
are generally supposed to be. The
wife Is not slave to her lord, nor yet
a mere toy, but his friend and coun-
sellor, and, if a capable person, may
rule his household. In may cases a
young girl is betrothed to man of
her own class-if a merchants daugh-
ter, she marries the son of merchant,
and so on. But personal attractions
are greatly sought after; and poor
girl, if exceptionally good looking.
may be as fortunate as Cinderella,
though probably not SO happy.-N.

BUOYING FOR LAKE TROUT.
An Odd Method of Taking These Fish
That Is Used ON Adirondack
Lakes.

Buoying for lake trout is favorite
method of killing these game fish on
many of the Adirondack lakes, espe-
cialy with local fishermen. 1t is prac-
ticed early in the season, chiefly, be-
fore the trout have sought the very
deep water, says the New York Sun.
The fisherman first sounds for wa
ter that is between 20 and 80 feet
deep, where the bottom is stony
The spot selected, he anchors buoy
there to mark it. Then he cuts into
small bits a few suckers, which
abound in Adirondack waters, and
scatters them about the buoy. This
is called batting the buoy, and is
sometimes repeated two or three
days in succession before any fishing
is done.
When the fisherman is ready to
fish the buoy, he moors his boat to
1T. All the tackle necessary is a
stout hand line, to which is tied a
very large and very sharp hook.
This hook is baited with a piece of
sucker.
The batting of the buoy has caused
trout to collect about it, and they
are pretty sure to be ready for mora
food. They eagerly seize the bits
that come down to them on hooks
The hook is carried down by heavy
sinker and must be kept a foot OF
so above the bottom and in constant
| agitation.
A popularity about buoy fishing
pumping the buoy" as scornful sci.
entific sportsmen term it's the gen.
| tleness with which the trout signal
up the line that they are biting. The
bite of five, six, eight or even ten
/ pound trout seems no stronger thar
the nibble of some small fish,
The instant that gentle touch or
the bait is felt by the angler he must
strike hard by an upward jerk of his
line. A half-second's delay may lose
him his fish. The trout has to be
pulled up quickly, but with a steady
hand.

ANECDoTE OF DIR. TALMAGE.
Wouldn't BE Convinced by Seminary
President That He Had Mistaken
His Calling.

DR.. Talmage's view of ministerial
dignity was always so divergent from
that of the old line, black robed di-
vines of the Reformed Dutch church
that it was a matter of surprise to
many of his friends that he chose
that communion at the start of his
career, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
One of the traditions of Herzog Hall
theological seminary, in New Bruins
wick, where he graduated, runs like
this:
"Talmage was an ungainly young
ster, full of originality as an egg is
of meat, but he did not commend him
self to the professors of the SEM
mary as budding clergyman. After
he had preached his first sermon
there, good old DR.. De Witt, the
president, thought the time had
come to have a serious talk with TIL.
young man. He took him away where
no one else could listen to their col
loquy and said:
Mr.. Talmage, / never like to dis
courage anybody, and L rarely say
what 1 am going to say to you. You
oAO AHCCllCSludIIy enough. i
can easily imagine that you might
make a success in almost any field
of life except in preaching the Cos
pei. But, frankly, and in all kind
ness, L must tell you that 1 solemnly
think you have mistaken your call
ing. Get a position selling goods be-
hind dry goods counter or take a
clerkship in law office, or, if neces-
sary, follow the plow, but do not
think of becoming the pastor of a
church. You are not fitted for it at
all. 1t is great mistake for you to
waste your time
"Talmage simply insisted that he
would go on and graduate. He did.
And before his pulpit career was end
ed he had preached to hundreds
where the venerable DR.. De Witt had
preached to one. But those who tell
the story down in New Brunswick
say that DR.. De Witt never changed
his mind. He was not in the habit of
changing his mind
