And joyfully start along the road
But dads was the heaviest share.
Out of the village about a mile,
Over q meadow, across ,stile,

The messy bank and the old gray

When I went fishing with dad.
We would wander about for a little

To find the contest, shadiest place,
Before we went tn work

We armed ourselves with the wrig-

And seated ourselves on the bank to
wait
And see If the fish would bite.
Sometimes they would only take

There was one old perch that I

For eagerly listened to every word:
And then among men of whom heard
How longed to play part!
what wonderful dreams of the future
came,
What visions of wealth and an hon.

To fill. my boyish heart!
There is no dream like the old
dream,
There is no stream like the old
stream,

Ihere are no ways like the old

There are no days like the old

When I went fishing with dad,
Then we took our way through the
meadoWland
And chung so tight to his wrinlled
hand,
AS happy as could be.
And when the old house came in sight
The smile on his old face grew so
bright
AS he looked down on me.
And no one smiles as he used to
smile:
And, oh, it seems such a long, long
Since went fishing with dad.

The world has given me wealth and

FULFILLED my dreams Of an honorsd

And now am weak and old:
The land is mine wherever look:
can catch my fish with silver hook:
But my days are almost told.
Uncheered by the love of child or
wife,
would spend the end Of my lonely
life
Where went fishing with dad.
My limbs are weary, my eyes are dim:
I shall tell them to lay me close by
him
Whenever come to die:
And side by side, it will be my wish,
That there by the stream where they
used to fish,
They will let the old men lie.
Close by him would like to be,
Buried beneath the old oak-tree
Where I sat and fshed with dad.

OHIO MANS FUNNEL.
He Uses It Constantly to Obtain
Meat and Drink.
His Appearance in New Orleans
saloon Almost ParaIyzed the
Barkeeper-Sensati in
Police Station.

There are men who eat with their
fingers in the rude way of the forefa-
theirs. and men who shovel in pie with
their knives, and also another class
which uses the fork with the right
hand, but, says the Picayune, genius
who uses neither of these ways of con
Veying his bread to his bread basket,
nor his liquor to the place provided for
such things, showed uD in New Orleans
some time ago.
There was nothing peculiar in the
mans dress or in the way he walked
up TO the bar and called for drink.
The white-aprOned genius behind the
counter set out the poison just as he
did for everybody else. At this the
man produced a small tin funnel from
his coat pocket and unwrapped a yard
or two of rubber tube from around his
neck and asked the barkeeper to kind
ly pour the whisky into the funnel. AT
first the mixolOgist believed some body
was handing him a practical joke. but
the customer insisted and the whisky
was poured in. The man waited mo-
ment and then smacked his lips, re
marked that the liquor was the genuine
article and then walked out.
1t was some time before the bar
tender could recover his breath, and
in the meantime the man was out of
range. But the man came around again
the next day and had several drinks.
The curiosity Of the barman had
reached the point where he could no
longer control il, and he asked the
strange customer what it was all
about, and how il was he did not take
his swig like the rest of mankind.
The man then said he had been a
wanderer over the face of the earth
for years, had originally come from
Ohio, and because of disappointment
in business and the breaking up of his
home had gulped down a big dose of

night, and was arrested and locked uD.
The only articles on his person were q
funnel and few dimes The man had
not been in the cell many minutes be
fore he shouted for some one to bring
him a drink of water. The taller
thought this was the usual request
from the Overheated patient. and told
him there was d bucket of water in
the cell and he could drink to his
hearts content. But the man declared
he could not drink without assistance
and finally the jailer went to him. The
man then produced the funnel and re-
quested that the water be poured in.
The jailer nearly dropped dead. but he
thought he would be obliging. and he
complied. In the morning when the
man repeated the operatio at break
fast they began to realize that here
was freak proper.
So far as all the attributes Of the
throat and mouth are concerned the
man has perfect control. He articu-
lates as well as anybody. breathes a.
well as anybody, and there j. not the
slightest outward appearance Of ir-
regularity till eating and drinking

During a downpour Of rain on a re-

Tribune, woman of not far from
200 pounds weight entered a Madison
avenue car at Fifty-ninth street. and
waddIed toward broad eXpanse of va
cancy far forward. The floor was wet
from umbrella drippings. and the
woman's gloves and shoes were in the

to sit down she hooked the crook

carbolic acid one day in the hope of
reaching the other side in a hurry. He
said he took enough to kill two or
three people, but before the poison
completed the job of delivering his
soul to its last keeper, the unfeeling
doctor had come along and brought
back the fading life. But the opera
tiOn cost him his swallowing appa-
ratus, and he had been compelled TO go
through life eating his meals through
a tube inserted in his throat. The man
was a veritable show around the bar
room for some days, and also at a
neighboring restaurant, where he used
to get his meals. He usually ate
couple of soft-boiled eggs for break
fast. He also drank quantities of cof-
fee, and all went through the funnel.
