A Modest Fish Story.

We were fishing on one of the Kes-
wick lakes one spring, and our catch
had been enormous. About 3 o'clock
in the afternoon we heard a peculiar
noise on the bank of the lake like tear
ing of roots. So we went to investigate
and on nearing the shore were sur
prised to find a large black bear dig
ging up the ground to beat nine of a
kind. We lay low to watch. and what
do you think he was doing? Why, he
was digging worms, and after putting
nice fat anglew0rms on each of his
forepaws he ventured out in the lake
on an old sunken log, put down his
forefeet in the water and actually
scooped out huge trout so thick and
fast that he almost darkened the sun.
After awhile, thinking there was
bah in his head. Talk about fish!
Great heavens! There lay trout two
feet deep on which two young cubs
were gorging themselves. Well, we
skinned that bear, and, wishing to Sc
cure the cubs alive, l just threw the
bearskin over me and got down on all
fours, and those cubs followed me
right into camp. thinking it was moth
er bear The cubs / afterward sold for
SIS each, and the hide of the mother,
which was very large one, brought
me $40-not so bad days work. Oh,
yes, about those fish on the bank.
Well, we went back the next day and
barreled up twenty-four barrels of the
best Of those trout. The rest were left
to rot in the sun.-Maine Woods.

the microscope revealed that 1t was
due to the presence among the snow

growing up. These are under the jap

General Church Conference Commences
on Friday Next-TO Discuss De-
nominational Union.

The general conference Of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church will open next
Friday at the North Carolina Avenue

There is every indication that the cen
ference will be the largest and most i'm
portant in the history Of the church.
Delegates from nearly every State in
the Union, and about LOCO in number,
viii be in attendance.
The twelfth annual convention of the
Christian Endeavor Union of the church
viii be held in Washington in connec-
ton with the general conference.
The convention viii open at the North
Carolina Avenue Church. Addresses of
welcome viii be made by J. G. Rock

Rev. DIR. s. NJ. Newman. An address in
response will be made by the Rev. DR..
B. w Anthony. of Andrian. Mich. and
the Rev. DR. NJ l. Jennings, of Pitts
burg, viii deliver an address on THE
Man Who Mixed the Mortar"
The conference this year will be of
great interest. owing 10 the intention OF
the delegates to discuss the contem-
plated union of the Methodist Protestant
Church with the COngregationalists and
United Brethren. Each of tho three de-
nominations has had the proposition
under consideration, but no formal ac-
ton had been taken by either. Great
interest, therefore, attaches TO the action
OF the present conference.
\ union of the churches would be q
matter of great moment in the religious
world, and would effect denomination
besides those Immediately concerned. All
three of the churches have long been es-
tabiished, and number their following

IN LIEU OF "JoE" CANNON

Now that the Hit boom for the Vice
Presidency has reached proportions
which promise TO sweep all other can
didates, willing or otherwise. aside, es-
pecially in view of the complications in
Illinois, which would seem In the judg-
ment of many shrewd politicians to can
for an Illinois man on the ticket, inter
est is revived in the question as TO how
and when, and by whom. his name was
first presented 1t has been printed in
New York and other papers that the
boom was started by Secretary Shaw,
when he was in New York TO conclude
the Panama payments.
Another rumor had il that 1t was in
the Office Of Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Taylor that the Hit move
ment was launched. A reporter for The
Times today inquired of Mr. Taylor If
it were true that he first suggested
Representative Hit.

view for Mr.. HIT" replied Mr.. Taylor.
Here is how it happened. - he said. Mr.

said he believed Mr. Hit would be q

1 thought the candidate should come
from Illinois, and that, as Mr.. Cannon
had positively declined, Mr.. Hit would
be an ideal candidate both as TO fitness
and availability.
This interview was telegraphed by
Mr.. Miller TO his paper and published
that evening. and the substance of II
also appeared In Milwaukee and Chicago
papers the next morning. l told Secre-
tary Shaw at lunch that day that / had
launched a Vice Presidential boom for
Mr.. Hit, and he heartily indorsed the
move. and the next day, while in New
York, he gave a statement to the papers
indOrsing Mr.. Hit which commanded
general attention.
This is how the boom for Mr. Hit

CARRIE NATIONS LOSS
SWEET CHARITYS GAIN
Offered $50 to Ant-Cgarette League If Agent Gould
Prove President Doesn't Smoke or Chew and She Lost

There was considerable excitement
and a little satisfaction around the
White House this morning, over the dis
patch from Chicago to the effect that
Mrs. Carrie Nation has lost $50 as a re
suit of her belief that the President
uses tobacco.
Mrs Nation. it seems, recently enter
ed he office Of the Anti-Cigarette
League, in Chicago. and, poking her
umbrella through the portrait Of the
President, said: Hes a smoker and a
chewer."
A Fair Champion.
Lucy Page CASTOR, to whom the re-
mark was addressed, replied that 1t
was not so.
THE President Is a nice man. and
would not use the filthy weed" she said.
The Washington times., 1904-05-17

IF you will prove ii to me. I will give
the league $50. said Mrs. Nation.
Whereupon Miss CASTOR sat down and
wrote to Secretary Loeb, explaining 10
him the situation. and intimating that
it would be worth $50 TO the philan,,
thropy she represented if he could ana
would answer in the negative.
1t is not usual to notice letters of TINS
kind, but Secretary Loeb thought If the
truth could do that much good In the
telling, there was no reason II should
not be told.
How Carrie Lost.
He thereupon wrote the following let
ter:
'eThe President does not and never
has used tobacco in any form.
VERY truly yours,
WILLIAM LOEB,
Secretary to the President
Information has not been received at
this end whether or not Mrs. Nation
has yet paid up.
