Hooked Many Fish.

Three travelling men, headed
by Fred Brinkman, the genial
landlord and alderman from the
Fourth ward, made big catch
Of fish in Lake Bemidji yester-
day and today. Fred told the
bunch he knew place where the
fish were biting fine, in fact that
it was his private preserve, dis.
covered by him and guarded as a
careful secret. He didn't look
truthful when he said it, but the
result proved him veracious.
The crowd caught sixty-nine
pounds yesterday and 1903 pounds
this morning. They said the
weights are correct because they
saw the scales the fish we're
weighed on. The party included
beside the landlord, A. B.
Kilbourne of st. Louis and
Charles Stanley of Minneapolis.

The Fate of Cities.

Some ancient cities have disappear
ed. The archaeologist digs through the
sands Of the desert, the Accommodations
of vegetable mold and the debris Of
human habitation in a search for the
palaces of great kings, the markets Of
wealthy traders and the homes of a
once numerous people. The massacres
OF ancient warfare may explain some
Of these dead and buried cities. The
inability of people in early history to
deal with the sanitary problems Of q
congested population may have been a
contributing cause to their destruction.
Cities may have died because their
people could not live. But In most
cases change In the routes of COM
merce will be found to have diverted
the stream Of nourishment from city
and left it to die Of starvation Yet
the Eternal City and Athens, Byzan-
t1um, Jerusalem, Antioch and Damas-
Gus illustrate the tenacity Of munich
pal vitality, even though a long sue
cessiOn Of centuries brings great
changes in the methods and subjects
and courses of traffic.-Philadelp

Herbert Spencer.

A queer instance of the working Of
Herbert Spencers mind is mentioned
by the two sisters in whose household
he lived. He came to the table one day
absorbed in thinking about some pho
tographs of the nebulae he had just
received, .~.. .s..... ..-...
las he rose from his chair he stood
for minute gazing with cleaning eyes
into the distance, and then muttered in
a disjointed fashion, as if half to him
self, words to this effect: Thirty mil
lions Of suns, each probably having it's
own system, and supposing them each
to be the size Of pins head they are
fifty miles apart! What does it all
meanY And then, without a pause
and only change Of voice, The fluff
still comes e.lt of that cushion you
know as with wave Of his small,
thin hand toward it he passed rapidly
out of the room, leaving US both be-
wildered by the Quickness with which
his mind worked"
