A Large Fish.

An EnGlishman visiting Lake Tahoe
asked a native if there was any good
fishing in the lake.
"Oh. yes. stranger"
what kind of fish do you catch
here?"
''Oh, all kinds, stranger"
What is the weight of the largest
fish you ever caught?"
''Waal. stranger, we don't take
weighing machines when we goes fish
ing, and l am an honest man and
wouldn't like to say how much that
last trout l caught would weigh. But
tell you, stranger, that when / pulled
that fish out of the water the lake went
down a birmingham Post.

"At our school," he said, 1.-The teach
ers never tell us not TO do anything"
They DON'T exclaimed the mother
in surprise. She knew that he was at
tending school that had attained wide
celebrity because CT its new methods"
but she had only hay idea of the
methods. Why nOt:" she added.
Because" the boy explained. that is
suggesting wrong TO Us. We're really
good, you know. and when we do
wrong it's because it's been suggested
to Us. l heard the teacher telling n
lady about il. She said that 10 tell
child not 10 do a thing was to tempt
him TO do it; that everybody wanted
TO do what they were told not to do,
and most of them never would think
about it if nothing was said"
There's some truth in that" re-
marked the mother.
she said" the boy went on, eff a
law was made for people not 10 walk
In the street there'd be hundreds OF
people doing it the next day just be-
cause they were told not to, people who
never thought of getting off the side
walk before
II guess that's So" said the mother.
81 never thought of it that way be-
fore"
"She said" the boy persisted, that if
she had anything in the house she
didn't want u child to get she would
simply say nothing about it,"
perhaps she's right" admitted the
mother as she picked up some packages
and went to the pantry. There were
raisins and figs and oranges in the
packages. and it had been her inten-
ton to caution the boy not to touch
them except when they We're put on the
table, but she Tefrained-
THAT will only make him want
them" she said. II won't say word"
So when the coast was clear the boy
entered the pantry and Toasted to his
hearts content. And there he was
found.
Willie" said his mother severely, 81
shall have to punish you for that
For WHAT" he asked innOcently.
For eating ali those raisins and
figs"
But you never told me not to-" he
urged. How was l to knOwT'-Chi-

PROMOTED AND RETIRED
Maj. Theodore A. Bingham Receives
RECOGNITION

Major Theodore \. Bingham, Corps of
general in the army and placed on the re-
tired list. Major Bingham is a native Of
Connecticut and was one of the star gradu-
ates of the Military Academy in the class
of 1879. He was assigned to the Engineer
Corps and has served continuously in that
department of the army. He has rendered
important services in charge of river and
harbor improvements in various sections
of the country and for several years was
stationed abroad as military attache at the
United States embassy a Rome and else
where. He is probably best known how
ever through his long and creditable service
in this city as superintendent of public
buildings and grounds. during which time
he had charge of official and social func-
lions at the White House. Much of the
beauty and attractiveness of the public
parks of Washington is due to his intelli-
gent and well directed efforts. The splen-
the Long bridge originated with him and
was partly constructed during his admins
trat!on.
On his relief from duty in this city by
Col. Symons. Major Bingham was trans
ferred to Buffalo. N. Y, where he had
charge of many important public works.
While on that station he met with seri-
Gus accident in the performance of duty,
several months ago, which resulted In the
loss of his leg, and has incapacitated him
for further active duty. An army board,
which recently examined him at his present
place of residence, an island in the Niagara
river near Buffalo, recommended his re-
tirement on account of disabilities incurred
in the line of duty.
