The United States Fish Commissioner
distributed young fish during the last iis-
cal year to the number of I.4oo. s43, 374,
against Io7r,ooo, 600 tor 1902. The
greatest demand was for white fish. of
which almost Goo, 900, 600 were distribut-
ed. The principal demand was for food
fish, but there was also noticeable in
crease in applications for the varieties
which are sought alter principally for
sport, especially rainbow trout. Fish
Commissioner Bowers says that the most
effective way 70 fight the high price Of
beef IS by the industry Of fish growing.
In Alaska thirty or forty pound salmon
can be bought for two cents, and FISH can
always be had cheaply where they are
plentiful.

How The Democrats Stand.
And save your he aIth

The Democrats have reason to view the
incidents Of the campaign aud elections
with encouragement. They have obtain
ed actual results far better than their OPP
ponents were at any time willing to con-
csde to them. They have discovered
many Of the weaknesses of the enemy's
.defenses and many Of the loose joints Of
their own hardness. For the campaign
has been both wedding ont and welding
process for the Democracy. The exper-
fences and results that have come out Of
it will prove educative and productive Of
wisdom for the immediate future The
party Is really stronger and more hope
full entity today than it was six months
ago The Republicans meanwhile have
gained a victory that imposes upon them
labors and perils that viii develop to their
discomfort with due rapidly. They have
asked an authority that carries unusual
responsibilities, and they will be expected
now to redeem TO the uttermost item the
great promises made to the people.

A PAINFUL STORY,

She thought he was a Daisy,
And he though she was a duck,
To win her love would be to him
A wondrous streak of luck;
But he hadn't met her nanny,
And she hadn't met his dad,
And their lives had been less dismal
If he had, and if she had.
They met each other in the park,
This Daisy and this Duck;
The winged shaft from Cupid's bow
Quite through their hearts had
struck.
Her nanny wasn't 'on to it,
His dad knew not 'the ropes"
And if they hadn't soon caught on,
There'd been no blasted hopes.
Alas, for Daisy's bitter woe,
Likewise the tears of Duck,
The cruel, horrid stroke,
Her mammy's wrath came with a Jolt,
His dads came with a boom,
Her cries, his screams were heard
afar,
Adown the alleys gloom.
And now they seldom go abroad,
Nor Daisy, nor yet Duck.
They tell their friends in confidence,
Their gentle hearts are broke;
But boom" and Jolt" not only fell
Upon each loving heart,
IT'S noted that when e'er they sit,
The tears Of sorrow start.

WOULDN'T STAY BURIED.
Amusing Adventure of the Man Who
Was Dissatisfied With His coesn

A few weeks ago an Armenian
while walking in the bazaar of Aaana
in Asia Minor, fell on the pavement in
NJ. Inc people in his vicinity, find
ing him unconscious, sent for the mn
nlclpal physician, who examined him
ana certlhed that he was dead.
he was recognized as being an Ar
menian, SO his body was handed over
to the authorities of a neighboring
Armenian church. There was not
enough money in his pockets to nav
for the expense Of his burial so the
authorities postponed the funeral TO
the next day, by which time thew
hoped to collect enough money from
charitable ArmenianS. The BODY was
put in coffin and left in a corner OF
the church.
AT night, however, the man returned
to his senses, and finding himself in a
coffin, the narrowest of all prisons, be-
gan to shrek wildly. His voice and
the gathering of the coffin awoke the
priest and attendants, who were sleep
ing in an adjacent building. They
were terrified, but eventually entered
the church, and perceiving whence the
cries came rescued the man.
Early next morning the latter went
into coffin shop, where, by strange
coincidence, the first person he met
was the man who had nailed I'D his
coffin the night before The latter
took him for ghost and fled precfpi-
lately, shouting for help the while.
The Armenian rushed upon him. and
Selling him demanded pecuniary salts
faction for the damage done to his
clothes in the process of putting him
in the coffin.
The undertaken took courage on
finding that the Armenian was not
a ghost at all, and retorted by demand
ing payment for the coffin and his
trouble the night before. The dispute
was adjudicated by the other peo,-
pie in the coffin shop, apparently not
to the Armenian's satisfaction. for
having come to the conclusion that
Adana is hardly a healthy spot for
him, he has removed to another town.
