is especially good there sometimes are as
many as six or seven. all making scheduled
trips.
They are closely watched by the steamboat
inspectors and their management Is excel
lent. Once upon time IL wasn't. Then
the fishing banks boats were places where
a man might get fish but surely could get
fight. He could always get the fight, even
If he couldn't get the fish; but he could
only rarely get the fish without a fight.
Sometimes an angler would happen to catch
another in the nose or the eye with his
hook. When a man hooked a fish he had 10
hustle to get him aboard before some less
skillful, but more reSourceful, fisherman got
hold Of the line and confiscated the prize.
As the anglers always sat as closely to-
gether as they could crowd few fish could
be landed without bringing in with them a
snarl Of other lines. Then there would be
clamor, for each man whose line was In
that snarl demanded that he be permitted
to assure himself by minute examination
that the fish was not on his hook.
If the snarl was involved, it would not be
long before the feeble patience of some
large and husky disciple of the gentle art
would crack aGdibly. He would then fall
upon the tangle and rip II with his knife,
royalty regardless of the fate of any line
except his OWN. Sometimes the large angler
would not be large enough. In such dis
tress ng circumstances his subsequent
career would be all over the deck with from
one to a dozen aggrieved fellow sportsmen
working hard with fists and feet to con-
vince him that the best way to unite a knot
is not to cut ton the fishing banks.
Sea Anglers of Today.
The passengers On the fishing banks boats
Of today are better men. They long only TO
fish. They use rods, which is something
that was viewed loudly and pOintedly as
unmanly weakness in the old days. They
still have their little fads. They race for
the best places, and the od-timer who hap
pens to be euchred out Of his favOrite spot
is gloomy for the rest of the day. They
will occasionally heave sinker against
their fellow mans head. But they will also
apologize, which is a startling improvement
over once upon time. They love to ma Ike
their joys and griefs public in loud tones.
They bait the SeaSick brother numerically.
But on the whole they are fine, good tenn

The seasick angler is always among those
present. No ocean can be too calm for him
to be overtaken by his manifest destiny.
Some of him get seasick even before the
lower harbor has been traversed. There IS

his kind, the seaSick man would die rather

When Prime. Eddl. Mo, the Lord.

Some of the sayings and doings OF
Prince Edward are wonderfully smart.
and cause a great deal of amusement
to his august relatives, says the New
York Press.
A few months ago a certain peer
happened to pay a friendly visit to
Marlborough House. and expressed a
wish to see his future little King. "
and Prince Edward was accordingly
sent for. Now, this noble lord is not
celebrated for his good looks. and
when the little Prince of Wales came
into the room the Princess of Wales
said to him: go and speak to him
and say, How do you do. Lord"
The little fellow went up to the peer
and looked into his face with a seri-
Gus gaze, but did not attempt to speak.
Say How do you do, Lord again
kindly. but firmly. said the princess.
How do you do?" remarked Prince
Edward, without taking his eyes off
the gentleman's face
Yes, but | told you to say How do
you do, Lord Lord what now?" re,
peated the princess very firmly, in.
deed.
Prince Edward frightened up con-
slderably, and, still gazing intently
into the visitors face, replied: How
do you do. Lord help u.s."

property going to strangers while her
poor papa was left unprovided for.
Airline refused to do as he requested.
something within warning her against
It.
Some time after the dreadful sus-
picion had flashed into her brain that
Captain Brand was having will
forged to suit his ideas governing the
case.
Even then she had not realized what
this might portend. How should an
innocent trusting young girl DESTROYS
of bestowihg all reasonable benefits
upon the man she had come to believe
was her father-how should she sus-
pect that this ungrateful man could
conspire with unprincipled confeder-
ates to actually take her life. yet by
sucn means as would make 1t seem
cruel accident?
While in Antwerp he had professed
keen desire to visit the dungeons OF the
Steen, and yet always made 1t appear
as though she were the one most
interested in the abode of ghostly
memories.
An expedition was accordingly
planned.
Airline never could tell just how 1t
came about. She remembered Captain
Brands enthusiasm in leading her
deeper into the recesses, and how ne
suddenly disappeared while she was
examining some object of interest;
how she waited for him to reappear,
until. growing alarmed by the dimin-
ishing size of her candle, she had en-
deavored to find her way back to the
party; how she tripped and fell, losing
her light. Then she cried out in terror
as the awful darkness closed around
her, but no answer came.
Then she realized that the others had
gone; that this cruel-hearted man she
called father. had deserted her, pre-
tending to believe. no doubt. that she
had gone above with a portion of the
party upon whom the horrors of the
dungeon soon palled.
He could also take 1t for granted
she had gone away with her new-found
frierds, and not show any alarm for
hours.
1t was cleverly concocted and dia-
bolical scheme, which had for its ulti-
mate outcome the dethronement of
her reason.
Doubtless Captain Brand had ar
ranged it so that in such case he
would be appointed the natural pro-
teotor and guardian of his afflicted
child. and thus, of course, have the
handling of her fortune.
Charlie was aghast.
He had never heard so terrible a
thing in all his life. He almost
doubted his senses.

one thing. Miss Brand" he said, posi-
lively, which is to the effect that l
do not believe this man to be your
father!'

showing peterlorat.. Birds.

The man that makes a business of
showing fowls must expect to meet
many losses. The writer has been
told that in some cases exhibitors
have lost half of their fowls in a sim
gle seasons campaign. Besides the
loss of birds from colds, diseases, *
posture and so forth there is a further
loss in the deterioration of the birds
shown, even though they come out If
the ordeal without losing feather.
In the first place. during the time In
which they are being fitted they are
kept penned up and fed high. This
hurts the breeding qualities Of the
males and the egg laying qualities OF
the females. The necessary prepara-
ton for showing is directly adverse to
the qualities desired In breeding or
laying stock. After the birds are out
of the shows they must have consid-
cradle time in which to recuperate.
For This reason birds that have been
shown great deal are looked upon
with suspicion as to their breeding
qualities. A man must take all these
things into consideration when he goes
into the show with his best birds. He
must consider II the advertisement he
is to get will compensate for the in
evitable losses Of various kinds.

An unfortunate incident of the early
career of Bret Harte grew out of his
acceptance of an invitation to deliver
a Phi Beta Kappa poem at Harvard
soon after he had published his poem
concerning Truthful James. He came
to Cambridge and supplemented a
learned address from one of the philo-
sophers of the time with wishy-
washy poem that any amateur poet
might have addressed to his mis-
tress's eyebrows. 1t fell very fiat
on the distinguished audience. and no
one appreciated this fact better than
Bret Harte. After the literary ex-
ercises were over the hosts looked
around for the poet, but he was no,

Cow Tempera msnts.

Cows are as different as are people.
There are some cows that the mixer
can make friends Of easily. There are
others that seem to have not the
slightest desire to be on terms OF
friendliness with their oyl hers or with
those having the care Of them. Some
cows will oboy any command that they
understand. while others show uncon-
querable stubbornness. We one day
saw a man attempt to lead stubborn
COW into barn. The COW braced her
feet and no amount of whipping or
pushing could get her into the barn.
She won the day. There are few cows
Of that kind, perha,,. but they serve
to emphasize the great difference that
exists in bovines. The degrees of in.
telligence are no less numerous than
the degrees of stubbornness. The wise
breeder will take cognizance of this,
and will breed only from animals that
show desirable traits.
