Business Is Good In Maine.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June II, 1906.
The postmaster at Belfast, after July
1st, will have a salary Of S2,2Oo year.
This is an increase of 500 over the pre-
vious salary. An adjustment of salaries
of postmasters has just been made at
the Postot1ice Department and a con-
siderable number of postmasters over
the country will find their compen-
sation increased. This is solely because
of the increased work of their offices.
With the same impartiality the Depart
ment scales down salaries. The degree
of prosperity is the standard by which
they are all judged.
The postmasters of the country are
about the only class of officials who are
Judged in this way. There is federal
statute which requires it. When the
patrons of the Office at Belfast, for in
stance, are doing lot OF mail business,
that helps keeps the Postmasters's COM
pensation up to high mark. If bust
ness is dull and the gross receipts OF
the office fall off that means less for
the postmaster in the long run.
The prevalence of prosperity in Maine
towns during the past twelve months is
shown by the fact that the salaries of
over twenty-five postmasters in the
State are to be raised.

FISH HIGH AND DRY.

\ Maine man went fishing on the
Brewer side of the Penobscot river
and while he was quietly waiting to
feel the tug of 20 pound salmon a
couple of urchlns came along and told
him thst they would show him sal
mon just waiting for the frying pan.
The angler, however, felt that in a
minute or two more he would have a
bite and did not care to follow the lead
of the children. So he smiled at the
boys and told them to run away and
get their salmon and it was to his great
surprise and bewilderment that he soon
saw the lads come staggering back,
bravely Juggling along fine big
salmon.
Explanations followed and it was
learned that the boys found the fish on
the shore where it had gone at high
water only to get caught among some
rocks and left there when the tide had
receded.

LUCK VS.. SKILL.

Once upon time fisherman arrIv-
ed at one of the hotels in Rangeley.
He remarked guess l can catch fish
here if anyone can. Many a good haul
| have had in salt water" He began
to put a wooden rod together, which
looked as if it had been purchased at
some bargain counter at a dry goods
store.
He had brought a box of good fat
angleWorms along with him. Putting
on a sinker, he filled big hook with
some of the worms. But this was not
all. He had never before seen anyone
fish with fly. He bought d leader and
three flies, which he tied on at the end
of his line beyond the worms and began
to fish, much to the amusement of sew
eral anglers.
Soon something unexpected happen
ed for the water began to fly i'll all di-
rections. but the plug fisherman held
on and walked back and forth calling
TOR help, as over amid the drlftWood
went the fish holding onto one OF the
tiv hooks. When landed there was Il
handsome salmon that lacked only a
few ounces of weighing ten pounds.
