during the period of incubation the

Perhaps better known is the angler
or fishing frog. 1t often grows to a
length of three or four feet, has an
enormous flat head and a mouth and
teeth to match.
1t is furnished with three tentacles-
two from above the mouth and the
third from the back of the head. One

which has previously partly buried it

the other fish disappears.
Fishermen relate many anecdotes of
the vOracity of the angler. On one oc-
casion one of these fish seized a large
conger eel which had been hooked.
and was in the act of swallowing the
huge morsel when the prey escaped
from the anglers jaws by forcing it's
way out by the gill covers behind the
mouth. Thus both were drawn togeth-

narrate a novel variation of the old
theme, "The bitter Bit

A Mind of Honor.

The late Lady Bloomfield was amaid
Of honor and published a book of rem
iniscences relating some very intimate
incidents of her years at court. The
result, the London correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian tells, was
that the queen forbade her ladies to
keep diaries while they were in wait
ing. and from that rule grew one Of
the neatest repartees that the heart of
the professional diarist could desire.
A young lady who had just been ap-
pointed a maid of honor was receiving
congratulations at party, and her
host said, "What an interesting jour
nal you can keep| The girl told him
that journal keeping was forbidden,
and the answer was, But l think
should keep one all the same" 'Then, y
said the girl, whatever you were you
would not be maid Of honor"

BREAKING TRAIL.
In the Frozen Wilderness 1t Is the
Meanest of All Tasks


Meanest of All Tasks.
To break trail is to pack with your
snowshoes the soft and uncrusted
snow into a more solid path, so that
the dogs and toboggans may be
brought forward to where you can
make camp! Even the snowshoes, two
feet in width, sink a foot or eighteen
inches at every step. The snow crum-
bles and piles in on top of the web so
that you have to tear each step with q
wrench and a kick and a cloud of
frozen white. You go forward, you
rest, you go forward again, forcing
your way laboriously through no one
can say how many feet of snow. The
WEAKNESS enters into the very mar
row Of your bones. The snowshoe
strap moves back and forth just
enough across the moose hide mocca-
sins to gall the foot to the flesh of the
toes; the muscles across the instep
ache with knifelike cuts with every
step as you lift the heavy weight Of
snow that covers the shoe out of sight
remember the first day we stopped
midway across the lake to rest. The
guides dropped the tumpline from the
forehead to their shoulders, cut some
tobacco from a plug, rubbed it be-
tween their hands and filed short,
black pipes. The dogs lay fat on the
snow and bit and chewed at the solid
Jumps of ice that had gathered on the

scraped from my snowshoe the frozen
masses Of ice that gathered under my
moccasins and were wearing blisters
on my feet. We rested here only g
few minutes, and then the bitter cold
drove us on again, for no man dares tC
stop long in such temperature.
This breaking trail Is very pictur
esque to an outside observer Often
times afterward when, unincumbered

AN EVARTS FEE.
Showing How 1t May Sometimes Pay
to BE n Poor Writer

Not many lawyers write legibly, and
the late William NJ. Evarts wrote such
an eXecrable hand that it was very Of
ten difficult to read it. This caused a
mistake at one time which resulted in
the eminent lawyer receiving a retain
er for ten times the amount he request
ed. The late William Allen Butler, an
eminent member of the New York bar,
was counsel for one of the legatees in
the celebrated Stokes will case years
ago, in which the late DR.. Henry P.
Stearns was one of the Expert wit
nesSes. Something like $15,000,000 was
involved, and Mr.. Butler told his eli
ent that he would like an associate in
the conduct of the case. He was asked
whom he would suggest, and he said
he thought Mr.. Eyarts would be the
best man owing to his superior knowl-
edge of the law and his great reputa-
ton as an advocate. The client agreed,
and Mr.. Butler was instructed to see
If Mr.. Evarts would come into the
casel
Accordingly Mr.. Butler wrote to Mr..
! Evarts and invited him to be associat-
ed in the case and name his retaining
fee. In due time he received a reply.
which he saw at a glance was in the
| affirmative and, without stopping to
read it further, slipped it into another
envelope and mailed it to his client.
In a day or two he received a call from
Mr.. Evarts, who inquired what sort of
man his brother lawyers client was.
Didn't you hear from him after
sent your letter to him?" queried Mr.
Butler.
YES" replied Mr.. Evarts, 'but he
sent me a check for $4,000, and 1 only
asked him for $2,500."
1t was apparent that Mr.. Evarts
chirography misled the client. This is
the story as told by a lawyer who was
familiar with the facts, but it is mo-
known whether Mr.Evarts returned the
difference of $22,5OO or whether h'

to adopt even "a lower rate of speed than the
legal rate.
Don't get "rattled."
Remember that it is the "other fellow
who always loses his head in crisis.
Don't insist upon your rights.
Remember that the "other fellow may

Find Teeth Ten Inches Long.

Laborers engaged in excavating for the
foundation of a new amusement building at
Dreamland, Coney Island, yesterday I'M
earthed two large teeth which 1t Is believed
belonged to mammoth prehistoric fish.
The huge molars, which are apparently
petrified, were found side by side In layer
of damp sand about ten feet below the sur
face They were Identical In shape and
weighed several pounds. They are about
ten inches long and eight inches wide at
the base. An old Coney Islander declared
that similar specimens said to have be-
longed to the ichthyosaurus. an extinct
species whose length was from ten to
thirty feet, were found not far from the
present site of the Manhattan Beach Hotel
nearly forty years ago.
