One day this week DR.. W. r.
Koob felt the need of some fish to
strengthen his phllosophic brain, so
catching up his pole, and can of
bait, he went strolli1g off to the
banks Of the classic 'Botna River and
when short distance above the Bal.
lard bridge, he found coy nook, a
clear deep pool that looked good to
him, SO batting his hook with q
tempting worm, he threw into the
water and before he had got fairly
settled he saw the cork go about a
mile beneath the surface; began pull
with might and main; gritted his
teeth; stamped his feet and with
one mighty "yank" he landed the
biggest fish that has ever been caught
in the limpid waters of the 'Botna.
1t was Buffalo fish and when
placed upon the scales at the Mis- Lar
sen meat market, it weighed strong
six and one-half pounds. Now, if
there are any back townships that
think they can beat that .sfish story"
we would be pleased to hear from
them.

club any time, and perhaps never
will make such score again against
them because the 'Brayton players

Poets in Parliament

The candidacy of the comic play-
wright, Tristan Bernard, for a seat
in the French chamber recalls the
facts that within a decade only one
poet of repute-Maurice Barres-has
been a member of a parliamentary
body, and that Lamartine was the only
eminent poet who was also a great no.
litical orator. The younger Dumas
was once asked why he did not try for
a seat in the chamber Of deputies, to
advocate his ideas of divorce. He re-.
piled that he might fare like the editor
Emile de Girardin, who one day was
violently attacked in an assembly. He
rushed on the tribunal with furious
mien and everybody was eager to hear
his answer. He glared for a moment
at his tribunal and then exclaimed in
stentorian tones: 81 shall aswer YOU
tomorrow in my journal."-N. Y.

rise in terraces north of the town, one
level of red earth above another, green
in summer, but in late autumn bare
and stony, will remember a particular
place where the road two leagues from
the town runs up a long hill. At the
top of the hill four ways meet; and
there, plain to be seen against the sky
is a finger-post, indicating which way
leads to Bordeaux, and whiA to Mon
tauban, and which to Perigueux.
This hill had impressed me on my
journey down; perhaps, because | had
from it my first view of the Garonns
valley, and there felt myself on the
verge of the south country where my
mission lay. It had taken root in my
memory; I hac come to look upon iti
bare, bleak brow, with the finger-post
and the four roads, as the first outpost
Of Paris, as the first sign of return ia
the old life.
Now for two days had been looking
forward to seeing 1t again. That long
stretch of road would do admirably foI
something I had in my mind. That
sign-post, with the roads pointing
north, south, east, and west, could
there be a better place for meetings
and partings?
We came to the bottom Of the ascent
about an hour before noon-M. do
Cocheforet, mademoiselle, and I. WI
