Eishina for q License.

A good natured German located IN
a certain Pennsylvania town a few
years ago. and apparently had no def
mite business, says the New York
Tribune. Every morning regularly he
would go to the creek that ran through
the town and fish for black bass. The
first mess that he caught was given to
the minister Of the village church.
Some one, seeing the German on the
bank, said to him: What are you do
ing?"
"Oh," he remarked, "Tm fishing for
a license"
The following day six fine trout were
delivered at the home Of the school
teacher The day after that the leading
banker received a supply Of fish; and
so it went for nearly a year. He
caught fish every day, and as regular
ly turned them over to the leading cit
liens.
When the spring term Of court came
around, he put in an application for
liquor license. Under the rules Of that
court 1t was necessary for twenty cit
liens to sign a protest to kill an appli-
cation for license. The protest was
taken around; but to the amazement
Of the messenger he could get no
signers. The clergyman was much
opposed to the proposed license, but
could not find 1t in his heart to attach
his name to the paper. When the
court announced its decision, the Ger
man received a license and he blandly
remarked:
"Tve been fishin' for a license. I
got It,"

How no PASS HATTERAs.-The late
Senator Vest of Missouri was fond Of
telling a story regarding friend Of his
who was in terrible dread Of the or
deal involved in passing Cape Halter
as, says the New York Herald. This
man was a confirmed victim Of sea-
sickness, and while he made many
trips on the ocean, he always looked
with fear to that period Of time when
the vessel would be passing the tumul-
tuous sea in and around Hatteras. Re-
turning from one Of his trips, he an
nounced with joy a cure for the dread
ed Hatteras period.
What is it?" asked a friend.
why" was the reply. when we got
within twenty miles Of Hatteras I or
dered up three quart bottles Of cham
pagne and sat in my stateroom and
drank them one after another"
What was the effect of that?" asked
the friend.
1.-The effect" replied the other In
establishment why, there was no ef-
feet. When 1 came to we had passed
Hatteras."

FATHER AND SoN.-Representativ
Richardson of Tennessee tells Of a
campaign conducted by Gov. Bob
Taylor in that State.
Meeting for the first time delegate
from one Of the eastern counties to the
state convention, Mr.. Taylor said:
II am glad to meet you, sir. 1 have
known your father for a good many
years, but this Is the first time I have
had the pleasure Of seeing you. l see,
sir, that the son Is better looking
man than the father"
"Oh, come, governor" replied the
delegate, banteringly, you needn't try
to jolly me that way, for I'm for Barks-
dale all right even If the old man Is for
YOU"
Gov. Taylor smiled in a reflective
way. My dear, sir" he added, Il
merely said found you better look
ing man than your father. I did not
say you had as much sense."-Harpers 8

A QUESTION OF KNowLEDGE.-Two
men In Kansas City were having a
heated argument concerning the loca-
ton OF a certain theatre in New York
city, says the Chicago Record Herald.
The one insisted that the house stood
on lower Broadway, while the other
was equally confident that it was up
town.
Finally the first man becoming an
cry, exclaimed: Perhaps you think
you know more about New York than
I do? How often have you been
there?"
The vanquished one was silent for
a moment. Presently he spoke with
a smile on his face: How long did
you stay in New York on each Of the
FIVE visits you made?"
The other scratched his head mo-
ment before replying and said: "Well,
each time 1 was there for two or three
days. How long did you stay on the
only visit you made?"
Seventeen years." was the calm re-
ply. That ended the conversation.

No USE For LYNN.-Among the
Rhodes scholarships youths who sailed
on the Ivernia for Oxford in Septem-
Der, Paul Nixon Of Wesleyan, was con-
spicuous, says the Baltimore Herald.
It was Mr.. Nixon who conceived and
carried out that idea that all those in
telligent young men should depart for
the other side in the same boat.
Some reporters on the day he sailed,
tried to get from Nixon voluminous
interview. He would not talk. They
endeavored to persuade the young
man to give at length his views on the
wisdom of the Cecil Rhodes scholar
ships. He would not talk however.
II don't want to bore you and the
public" he said, smiling. II don't want
to put myself in the position of the
lecturer whom Oliver Wendell Holmes
rebuked.
"This lecturer was dry-as dry as
I would be If should attempt to crit
icise the Rhodes will. He called on
DR.. Holmes one day and the two men,
knowing one another well, talked to-
gether jocularly.
"'Well, said the humorist, what are
you doing now%
"Lecturing,' said the lecturer.
"'Still lecturing, eh?'
"'Yes, I hold forth at Lynn tonight
"Tm glad of it, said DR.. Holmes.

To MAKE HENS LAY.-The late John
Kernell, the Irish comedian, used to
like to tell Of an experience in amateur
farming that he had In his youth.
"One summer" he would say, Il
lived in the country, and since there
was a garden to my cottage. I decided
that I would keep chickens. brought
a cock and a half dozen hens. but I got
no eggs. The chickens were vigorous
and healthy, but my omelets each
morning came from the village store.
ITO remedy this state Of affairs 1
answered an advertisement in an agri-
cultural magazine. This advertisement
said that for two dollars an infallible
way to make hens lay would be COM
municated. / forwarded the two dol
lars, and in due course received the
advertisers reply. 1t was a printed
slip that read:
"'To make hens lay, tie stout string
around the hens body, lay the bird on
her side on a board and fasten the
string underneath. II 1t is thought de-
sirable, a pillow may be placed under
the hens head '"-Northwestern Agri-

warned three times In the most solemn
tones by a gypsy palmist to beware
August 20, months before that date,
and the warning 80 impressed him
that he was immeasurably relieved to
find, when the fate day came, that,
though 1t was the turn Of his regiment
to furnish a picket for the night, two
other officers were down on the roster
to go on duty before him. One OF
them, however, was taken suddenly Ill,
and when the other proceeded to
mount his horse the usually gentle
creature reared and threw him, break
ing his leg.
The Baron, therefore, had to go, not
without a presentiment Of certain
death. He escaped 1t by a miracle,
with eight saber wounds, and after a
night Of such horrors as even in the
ferocious war (where the Turks gave
no quarter, but offered a ducat for
every Austrian head brought in) must
have been unprecedented. Some time
after his recovery from his wounds the
gypsy was condemned to be hanged as
a Turkish spy, and the Baron. on the
eve Of her execution, asked for an ex-
planation Of her prediction, that Au-
gust 20 would be for him q fatal day.
She then confessed to him that, act

made use Of her prophecies, and her
heavy bets on her prophecies. Of the

to secure the fulfllment Of her predic-
