tug, and then, as quick as thought, another on the line. But even as quickly as the second tug succeeded the first, he had the line on its way 10 the surface He was shaking up that hook and it's contents with the dexterity born of long practice.
 When it reached the surface he WAS so astonished, old fisherman as he is, that he almost forgot for a second to haul 1t into the boat. On the hook -an ordinary tautog hook-hung two fish, one big tautog, weighing about one pound, and the other a chogset, weighing q pound and half.
 The tautog had taken the bait fist. The hook had passed through a corner of his upper lip, leaving part of the bait still on the barb of the steel. Then the chogset, coming fast after, had seen the piece of bait, and with the cunning that gives it its name of cunner elsewhere, had tried to seize the bait and get away. It had failed a-d was impeled fairly.
 |" 'Sid' Cornell and John Neville saw it." said Mir. Smith, in telling of the catch. q held 'em up on the hook and showed 'en, and they can tell it's all straight. And Pm the only man in Pawtuxet that's ever done it, " he continued, "eyer caught two fish or one hood. Don't you forget that, my boy. No one else ever heard of it. And I can prove it by 'Sid' Cornell and John Neville"
 Itis certainly a good story, says the Providence Journal, but the season is young and there have been few as yet. The reputation of the teller in the village is such that the story is believed implicitly on his statement.

Douh !ess s q ar Representative of Bar-
 gam. ing Fsm lnity.
 At the end of each season big dry goods houses always have on hand a large supply of small-piece samples, such es are used by saIesmen both on the road and in the house.
 The pieces of cloth are rarely a quarter of yard square, and when the house has no further use for them will give them away or sell them at any price offered,
 One of the department stores, says the Milwaukee Sentinel, recently bought q quantity of these odds and ends of cloth and offered them at ex- ceedingly cheap prices. Strange 10 say, there was quite demand for them, and in the course of few weeks the entire stock had been sold out.
 "I never could understand what the women wanted with these scraps and samples" said departmentman- ager, "until one day woman ap- preached me and asked if we had any more of them left. I said no, and she seemed very much disappointed, so much so that I asked her what use she made of them.
 "'Oh,' said she, I still have what l got here before and Idon't know what l can do with them, but they're so cheap and 1 was ever 50 anxious to get a lot morep

of the telegraph operator Abbrevi- ated dispatches are often sent in five minutes that would require half an hours work if transmitted in full. But there is, according to the Wash ington Star, an operator out in Pitts burg whose originality in inyenting substitutes for good English surprise even his work mates. When the death of young James s. Ayres was first sent over the wires and the name of Mrs. Bonine was first mentioned, one of the local operators received query from the Pittsburg man; "Who do you mean?" Mrs B-O-9." When the significance of the phrase burst upon him the local operator an- nounced the abbreyiation to his asso- ciates and the name has been sent all over the country as "B-O-9" ever since.

Life as Viewed in a Suburb ot Wonderful
 Tokio.

At the end of that hours journey from my hotel, I reached the Eueno park. There was a lake, on the smooth surface of which the maple trees were dropping the last of their red leaves. Tiny, doll-like Japanese children were playing about in every direction. Jegaaese girls with ehil- aren on ttesr Lacks. and children with smai.er children sJ.lt strapped there on, til one came u Ae tiny mite who carried 8 doll oa is back in prepsra- ton and ;Is.nin s fer the next unborn baby Ba4Ag ,ogading all this were stately. venerable pines, aisle-like, pillsriag .hs b.ue sky, and a Buddh- lst temple with old oak columns very much like 5ae pine trunks and lacquer and carving that harmonized with the moses on the pine trunks, and seemed to mingle SC intimately in feel ing that apparently there was 10 gap where nature endtd and art began. And now and again from these tem- pies came the mellow, soft sound of great bronze bell, bell that never seemed to be struck, but from the in- ner part of it's hollowness appeared to breathe forth into the air around 8 quiet sigh of music, soft, gentle, hal lowed sigh, filing it with mysteriou: color, and leaving no footfall of echo in the air as 1t died sway.-Magazine of Art.

GAVE HER PLENTY OF TIME
This Man Knew His Wife Way Of Pack
 ing Trunks.

An East side woman who is well known in society commissioned her husband to send a messenger up to the house for her trunks Friday, as she intended to leave the city on an ex- tended trip yesterday morning at II o'clock. The dutiful man went to ore of the lightning messenger companies and gave his orders, talk ing the liberty to add that the wagon had better be sent up early, as there was a number of dresses to go in at the last moment, and that the folks would not start to pack them until the mes senger came.
 Shortly after six o'clock in the morning servant came to the room of the woman and announced that g man was waiting to take the trunks.
 Mercy" the woman excitedly ex' claimed. "The trunks! Why, ] haven't even started to pack them yetp'
 '0That's il" the girl replied. "Tht man says Mir C. told him to come ear., so you would have time t< pack"

 His Story

His Story
 If 1t had been anyone else than Israel Smith-well, Pawtuxet might have doubted. But when he came in from fishing trip last week and calm ly announced that he had caught two fish on one hook, and at the same time and with the same bait, the other fish, ermen in the old village looked at him and winked an eye. Some stuck their tongue in their cheek-and then, when he told how it had been done, concluded to believe it.
 If y say it's so, Isr'l," said one of them, "I'll have [ believe y'r. But don't go [ te,lin' no more on 'em, fr it'll take me some time t digest this one. H'w fare ye?" he asked of an. other old resident who joined the group. "Heard Isr'Ps fish story? It': whopper. See if he'll s~aller it Isr'l."
 Then Mir. Smith, who is one of the well known men of the place, told the newcomer the story. The teller of tho tale follows the shore, and in the fish ing season takes parties out fishing He was out alone the other day when down off the mussel beds of Conimi cut, he baited his hook and dropped i over the side.

The Pacific Cab.e.

The principal difficulty in regard to a Pacific coast cable has disap- peared during the past few years with the acquisition by the United States of Hawaii, Guam and the Philippinr islands. IL is now a comparatively easy matter to secure the necessary mid-ocean landing places. The greatest distance from land to land would be from San Francisco 10 Hon. olulu, 2,080 miles. From Hawaii to Wake island would be 2,000 miles; from thatstation 10 Guam, ,290miles, and from thence 10 Manila, 1,520 miles. Although the Pacific is deep- CT than the Atlantic, little difficulty is anticipated on that account. The cable from Hayti to the Windward is- lands lies in 18,000 feet of water, and is working successfully. The greatest depth between San Francisco and Hawaii is 18,300 feet, and be- tween Hawaii and Manila, 19,600- differences which present no serious obstacles

The water Power.

As can be seen by the proceedings
IF llC cfty c6af3ii III dI0ther column,
1.-THE power propositions have been
placed on the shelf practically. for
thirty days upon the recommends
tions Of the citizens and taxpayers,
AT Tuesdays meeting OF the coun-
ell, upon motion, the mayor was in
StruCted 20 name day when the tax
payers aud citizens could meet the
council and talt the matter over.
The mayor named Wednesday as the
day and there being meeting Of the
charter board on that day, quite iii
attendance was at hand.
The propositions were presented
and discussed. The cOncensus of
opinion seemed to be that the DrOpO-
sltiOn of the Ely Hydraulic & Electric
Co, as far as the power was concerned
is a good thing but that the price
charged per horse power was too large
considering the amount that must be
contracted for: that the city should
not enter into an agreement for
twenty years, that in that time
changes in the electrical world would
take place to bring the price of horse
power much below the present and
that the city being bound with con-
tract at fixed price could not take
advantage of the prices; that by keep
ing to the steam plant considerable
money would be left in town which
otherwise would go out--and a dozen
other reasons.
p. II. Vail offered to enter into
contract with the city TO furnish
horse power for $1,000 year less than
the other proposition and offered to
furnish a bond in any consistent
amount for the faithful performance
of his part Of the contract.
The propositions are being discussed
by various people and opinions for
and against the long term and the
price are given. 1t is matter of
much Importance to the city and
hasty action should not be taken.
