FAT GUIDES IN A
Public Servants Who in Some IR-
stances Become Incapacitated
Through Gout.

The guides at Berlin are fat ana
short gentlemen ofmiddle age and
move very slowly. One day, says
Il London paper, Il party az
Potsdam, walking down the
walk in the beautiful garden Of
Sans SOuci," saw ahead some Of
the royal children attended by
their nurses and fOOtmenin livery.
OF course, the travellers were
anxious to have a good look at
them and hurried forward at such
a pace that the poor fat guides
were left some distance behind.
When they caught up they were
limping and blowing hard, and
begged pardon for being laggardS
all because of the govt, they eX.
planned with prOfuse apologies.
ThinkOf a guides suffering from
aristocratic govt! Yet the tray.
elers felt sure that they had seen
better days, and before leaving
Berlin every one knew a little Of
their respective histories. One
had been a prosperous merchant
on the boulevard, and the other
had been a manufacturer Of linen
until overtaken by misfortunes
that shattered his business ca.
reer.
On the whole, a guide knows all
the ms and outs of travel, and YOU
may rely on him for everything in
reason. He seldom disappoints
YOU, and to attempt to get along
without him is TO squander time
and miss what you have crossed
the water to see.

Fisherwomen.

Fishing, as one of our cOntem-

for women. To purchase rods and
books of flies; to make for the
great open: 10 whip the open pools
and pour maiedictions upon the
alders over the closer ones; to
climb, to wade, to swim in the eX-
citing scramble down Appalachian
slOpes-for the woman who is
able to enjoy this form of exercise
it is just the kind of exercise she
ought to enjoy. And her husband

WHERE PASSENGERS PucH.
Steep Coach Road in the Pyreaess
Where They Are Invited 10
Get Out and Help.

In the old days Of canal vOyag-
ing captains Of boats were not iD-
frequently asked to give a wayfar-
pr a lift. The man was asked If he
was willing to work his passage.
If he said Yes" he was put TO
work driving the horses. In Eu-
rope, it seems, a similar custom is
practiced on paying coach passen-
gers, says London Spare Moments.
In the Pyrenees there is a coach
road between two villages, one on
each side of a mountain 10000 feet
high. After the coach has pro
ceeded a little distance anC
reached the steep part of the as
cent the conductor begs the pas
sengers to get out, so as to ease
the horses. They are even re-
quested to push behind and help
the poor animals to drag the huge
vehicle uphill.
When at last the summit is
reached. each traveller, wiping
from his forehead drops of sweat
as big as kidney beans, cOngratu-
lates himself on the breezy ride
down the steep slopes of the de-
scent which awaits him.
There is where he makes a mis-.
. take, for the conductor, with a
sweet smile, begs the gentlemen
TO be kind enough to hang on to
! the coach behind and act the part
, of a Westinghouse air brake, OF
, else the horses may be injured.
! In this manner the terminus Of
u the line is reached, the passengers

Felinity finds its c%ompletest ex-

nothing like the same attraction

cats of a kind. Not having to Ell

they lose their individuality and
their character just as human be

more than the person who cares
for them. The darlings of the
