Some men OF great genius and courage,

A tactful man can pull the stinger from

Beauty is only skin deep, but that's
deep enough to satisfy my reason
able man..
Clothes don't make the man., but they
make all of him except his hands and
face during business hours.
Duty means something unpleasant
which the other fellow ought to do.
Easiest way to make enemies is to hire
friends.
Fools will turn out fools whether they
go to college or not.
Give most men a good listener and
most women enough note paper, and
they'll tell all they know.
Hot air can take up n balloon a long
ways, but it can't keep 1t there.
IL you give some fellows a talent wrap
ped in n napkin to start with in bust
ness, they would swap the talent for
a gold brick and lose the napkin.
Just to be soclable some men will eat
a little food now and then, but what
they really live on Is tobacco.
Knowing how to be humble Is q heap
more important than knowing how
to be proud.
Loyalty Is the one commodity that
hasn't any market value, and it's the
one you can't pay too much for.

OF course you're in no position yet 10
think of being engaged, and that's
why I'm a little afraid that you may
be planning to get married.
Pulling from above and boosting from
below make climbing easy.
Quick to fire, slow to hire-when you've
found you've hired the wrong man
you can't get rid of him too quick.
Remember that when you're right you
can afford to keep your temper and
that when you're wrong you can't
afford to lose 1t.
Say less than the other fellow and
listen more than you talk, for when
a mans listening he isn't telling on

A Slippery Fisherman.
[FroIn the Sunbeaml.

While patrolling the Delaware river a
few days ago in quest of violators of the
fish laws, Game Warden Torton, of Penns-
grove, saw man and his five-year-old son
fishing a sturgeon net at the eastward of
the ranges below Marcus Hook The
fisherman had already captured seventeen
sturgeon and his net had become so full of
fish that it had gone to the bottom and
fastened, and the combined efforts of the
Warden and his prisoner could not loosen
it. Game Warden Torton then made line
fast to his naptha launch and in few min
utes the net was lifted from the bottom.
Although the majority of the fishermen
fish thirteen inch mesh the mesh of this
net was only eight inches. Not fathom Of
net could be pulled into the boat without
cutting out fish. Although the fish were
small, forty in all were taken out of the
net, more sturgeon than had been captured
by any fisherman during the entire season
which closed June fifteenth.
The sturgeon fisherman was brought to
Pennsgrove and then taken to Bridgeport,
in Gloucester County, as the act had been
committed within the jurisdiction of that
county, and there placed in the lookup.
The following morning the officials found
the door of the lookup wide open and the
prisoner gone. He had escaped in the
night, and, taking his boat and net, left for
parts unknown.
