Of fishermen there are many and
divers sorts. There is the gentle
man fisher who simply catches for
the sport he has; then there is the
generous fisher who, when good
luck attends, passes around liber-
al surplus to his friends; then there
is the unlucky fisher who catches
nothing but receives barrel of fish
from more lucky anglers and pays
four dollars a barrel for cleaning
them, and he too does not forget his
acquaintance and passes them off
as his own catch, which harmless
deceit we may readily pardon; and
last and least there is the pot fisher
who catches a big lot and sells them
for money. Possibly he has no
friends to remember, poor fellow.

Conservatism is a good thing

and possibly an overdose of even a

ways been known as a conserva-

thing has been admitted until it
has been fully tested elsewhere.

electric light, gas and the tele-

Last Saturday morning the
country at large was again edited
by the glaring accounts in the
various daily papers of the prize
fight between Corbett and Jeffries.
The "yellower" the newspaper
the more glaring the account and
the more numerous the editions
and the more disgusting the
details A howery account of
a brutal contest between two hu-
man animals is degrading to both
the reporter and the reader. 1t
only serves to contaminate the
mind and debases and blunts the
finer instincts ola civilized being.
Some of our States have succeeded
in enacting laws which effectually
prevent such contests. They
should go a step further and pre-
vent the publishing Of the details
of such affairs in other States.
