A CHILD's IDEA.

John Kendrick Bangs is of the opin- ion that the finest humor frequently drops unconsciously from the lips of childhood As an illustration of the idea he tells this story:
 'Hennessey, formerly foreman of the Herald's composing room had a little daughter who said:
 Mamma. what are the starsg
 The stars, my child, are the angel Gabriers lamp. Every night at twir light the angel flies out of the gate Of Paradise with a torch and lights all the stars
 "On the following evening a storm darkened the heavens and the light ming zig-zagged across the face of the sky. The child ran to her mother, ex- claiming:
 Mamma I think the angel is going to light his lamps now
 Why do you think so, my daugh- terr
 Because he is striking his matches on the sky. New York Times.

NEW GAME-F1sH IN THE EAST.
Grappies Long Known fin Western Waters Being Taken to the
 Atlantic Coast.

"I believe the crappie, that lively member of the bass, or, more proper ly, the sunfish family, for all fresh wa ter bass are of that family, is being in troduced into eastern waters, notably the Pennsylvania river," said a New York..angler, who, according to the New York Sun, had not thought it all of the gentle art to whip trout stream or worry a black bass water;l s'and when the fishermen begin to get acquainted with this game newcomer they will wonder why they never had the pleasure of meeting him be- fore.
 .sIn the mysterious nomenclature of science the crappie is Pomoxys an nuaris. Just why he is that don't know. Neither do I know why he is crappie, and I never found any one who did.
 t.A long, long time ago big Camp bellite jubilee was being held along the Ohio river not far from the mouth of the Scioto river. The Campbellites was a religious sect then known as the New Lights.
 .One day during the jubile some of
 
 fish for dinner. Each one caught mess of fish of kind none of them, nor any one along the river, had ever seen or heard of before. The fish were not rejected because of their un- known identity, however, and all who ate of them pronounced them little the best thing in the way of fish that any of the brethren or sisters had ever tasted.
 t'It is not on record that the devout New Light brethren and sisters re- garded the appearance of those new fish in the Ohio river as mama in the wilderness, but it is on record that they believed the fish had been sent as providential contribution to the Campbellite table, and the pisca- there the name of New Lights. A great many people in Ohio call this fish the New Light to this day. Others know it as the Campbellite fish.
 <sWhether it came into existence as the pious forbears of these people be- 1ieve or whether it didn't it has re- mained in Ohio waters and increased and multiplied. When and how it got the name of crappie does not ap pear.
 "The crappie is bass, and hand some one. It grows to be foot long, and one unacquainted with it, and giv- ing it casual glance, would take it for black bass. It is of deep olive color, mottled with light green in ir- regular patches. It is wider than the smal1-mouthed bass, but it's mouth is smaller.
 ''The crappie gives great sport to the angler. It is now in all the rivers of any size in Ohio and Indiana. It lies in deep, still water, and takes the live minnow, or shredder crayfish, if offered to it by skilful fisherman.
 Ut will not fight as long as it's stout and ferocious cousin, the black bass, but it fights fercely while it fights, and hard enough to make it game fish worthy of any foeman. The crap pie may be induced to take the fly by the careful and expert angler-a gaudy fly well sunk in the water and drawn quite swiftly toward the surface. The Delaware river is one of the nearby streams that have been stocked with this sturdy and handsome bass, and good sport is expected with it this sea- son."

TOO MUCH NEGOTIATION

What's the price of this basket of grapes? ?" Twenty-Five cents, ma'am. Will you have it sent, or"
 s'Last one you've got isn't it?' "Yes'm. Will you-!''
 "You ought to sell it for less than that. All the good baskets have been taken"
 ''They were all alike, ma'am." | Needn't tell me that. Everybody that buys a basket of Concord grapes lifts the lid to one side and looks in. This one looks as if a hundred people had examined it. Lids all split. There are bad grapes inside, too. can see lem. I'll bet they were picked six weeks agO.''
 Well, of course, ma'am the grape season ended several weeks ago, but these were carefully selected and care fully packed for the fall trade. Shall I-?''
 "A week ago you were selling these same grapes for eighteen cents a bas- ket, and they were better than they are now. A heap better. Cost you just the same as these. Take eighteen cents for the basket?'
 Cant possibly do it, ma'am. This is the last of twenty-seven baskets we had on hand this morning, and we sold them all for a quarter apiece. Like to accommodate you, butt

 "One moment, please. What is it, Missg'
 Well, it's cheating, but suppose I might as well-still I think you ought to sell it for twenty cents-can't you take anything less than quarter for the basket?'
 Just moment, please. Now, mad am?"
 T was only going to say I thought quarter was too much for it, but I suppose may as well-'
 T beg your pardon, ma'am, but I've just sold that basket of grapes to this little girl. Is there anything else I can show you? We have some excel lent dried fruit. .''-Chicago Tribune.

TWO WAR STORIES.

Two interesting wartime stories were told yesterday by Senator Bacon, of Georgia. One of them concerned Senator Pettus, of Alabama, who, as everybody knows, was a gallant off, cer in the Confederate army.
 In one of the battles before Vicks- burg, Senator Pettus, then a colonel was captured and carried as a prison CT before General Grant.
 Colonel" said Grant, when the prisoner was brought before him, what are those troups out in front of me?''
 General" replied Pettus, q must decline to answer that question:
 General Grant looked him in the eye for moment "You are right. colo nel," he said. Then turning to an off, cer near by Grant said: .Take this gentleman to the rear and treat him kindly"
 Senator Pettus has never forgotten that interview with General Grant.
 The other story illustrates the same nobility of feeling in General Robert E. Lee, the commander of the Confed- crate forces.
 It was at the close of the battle of Gettysburg. As General Lee rode from the field he came upon a young Union soldier, a mere boy. lying on the grass, wounded. The boy, though painfully hurt and unable to rise, had a spirit not to be quenched. AS he recognized the Confederate uniform he raised himself upon his elbow. 'Hur- rah for the Union," he cried defiantly, though with a feeble voice.
 General Lee got down from his horse went over to the boy, and laid his hand tenderly on his head. sI hope, my son. he said, ''that you are not much hurt, and that you will soon be well.' Washington Star.
