BUNCH OF BLIND SNAKES,
Lake Fishermen Gathered in Something
That They Didn't want.

The small lakes about Fosston are
becoming the Mecca for overworked
residents of this place who desire an
outing. and they are apparently having
more than their share of the adven.
lures that usually fall to the lot OF the
average fisherman. Among those who
have arranged summer quarters are the
Hon. Il. :. Bennett, Representative
from the district, and Dr.. McKinnon,
Of this place, who is n member of the
State Board of Health. The doctor and
NJ. Bennett have put a sailboat on
Sand Hill Lake and have otherwise
arranged matters so that the lake Is a
very pleasant resort Sand Hill Lake
| is about two miles in circumference,
and one of the peculiarities of the lake
| is the exceeding depth of the water
About FIVE feet from the shore there is
sudden leaving off Of the bottom
pparently, and until last Saturday
no one has ever known how deep the
water in the lake really is.
Messrs. Bennett and McEinnon de-
cided to ascertain the depth II possible,
and for that purpose secured rope
100 feet long. To the end OF the rope
they attached large hook. with scv-
eral smaller ones in close proximity.
! They r1wcd out about 800 feet into the
lake. and. in their intention 10 asccr'

OF every foot from tile end let down
to the end in the boat. When the rope
had gone the astonishing distance of
eighty feet it struck terra firma. and
no eocncr had it done so than there
was tugg!ng ana jerking that nearly

Bennett and McKinnon are muscular
men. and they grabbed the rope and
began to pull it in. They had pulled
the rope to within ten feet Of the end

ways. The gentlemen rowed 10 shore,
dragging tier rope after the boat,
and when they reached terra frma
again they rook tie remainder of the
snakes from tho rope. The rope had

A Manayunk man owns a fox ter.
yiec that he is very proud of. One day
last week he saw his dog catch frog,
carry it carefully to a distant corner
of the garden, scratch a hole and bury
it therein, alive. The master could
not understand this act, He described
it at dinner that evening and eX-
pre-. q lis bewilderment as to the
dogs motive, wheTeupon one of the
members of his family said:
"Cavolus has been burying frogs and
insects and all sorts of little live
things ever since he was stung u cou'
pie of weeks ago by bee. He howled
when the bee stung him, and, bowling
sorrowfully all the time, he took the
insect up and buried it at once Caro-
lus evidently thought that he was do
irg Kindness to the world in putting
the bee out of the way. 1t had stung
him. and he would see TO il that 1t
would do no more stinging in the fu-
tu.e. And Carolus seems to believe
now that everything that is alive and
little has sting, and that 1t is his
duty to put all such creatures under
ground. so that they may not cause
others to suffer as they caused him to
suffer- Philadelphia Record.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

r. G. Dun e. Company's weekly re.
view OF trade says:
There is still no indication of the de-
preston in trade and industry that pes
simists predicted would follow the de-
cline in securities. Conservatism was
developed by the uncertainty regarding
the effect upon financial conditions, but
legitimate business is able to secure
funds as they are required, and the
more cautious progress OF business
gives promise OF greater permanent
gain. Weak spots have been disclosed
and the technical position strengthened,
Just as occurred in the stock market.
REIMBURSEMENT after period of initiation
must OF necessity bring some losses, yet
the outlook is frightened by the re.
moval OF threatening industrial clouds.
Dispatches from all sections testify tc
the liberal distribution OF merchandise
and the disposition to prepare for
greater consumption OF all the neces.
saries OF life, while the crops are max.
ing good progress aside from some cot.
ton districts i'll Texas.

Paper Stockings.

Paper gloves and stockings are now
being manufactured in Europe. As to
the manner in which the former are
made little is known, but the stockings
have been carefully examined by eX-
perts, and they are loud in their praise
of them. Let no one assume, they say,
that these stockings, because they are
made of paper, will only last few
days, for they will last almost as long
as ordinary stockings. The reason.
they point out, is because the paper OF
which they are made was during the
process OF manufacture rendered into
a substance closely resembling wool,
and was then woven and otherwise
treated as ordinary wool.
