Where solomon,s Wisdom Failed.

King Solomon was the wisest man
that ever lived. People came from
miles around just to look at the re-
ceptacle of so much wisdom. One
day young man came to him and
knelt before his throne.
ooh, king, live foreverW said the
young man. 81 am in love. l bought
the object of my affection diamond

later accidentally called me dear
and blushed and apologized. Does
she care anything for me%'

A lonieal Rotort.

One night Paganini was going to
the Paris opera house, where he was
to astonish every one by playing on
one string. Being late, he took a
cab, and when he arrived at his des-
tination the cabby wanted 10 francs.
"What," he exclaimed, "you are
crazy. / have only had you five
minutes" 81 know it is much" said
the other, "but for you who make a
fortune by playing on one string it
must be 10 francs" "Well," said
Paganini, handing him the right
fare, "when you can make your cab
go on one wheel come to me, and |
will give you 10 francs. La Garlic

HABITS OF THE SHAD.
,ntereeting Facts About Its Incoming
From the Sea.

FROM the Sea.
The shad spends part of its life
at sea and part of it in fresh water.
At the approach of the spawning
season it comes in from the sea and
seeks the fresh water streams to
spawn. At the close of this season
it goes to sea again, there to remain
until the spawning season again re-
turns.
1t is not known absolutely wheth-
er the shad remains in deep water
in the ocean off the approach of the
river whence it came or whether in
winter it goes south into warmer
waters but it is commonly believed
that when the shad returns from
whatever point at sea it may to
fresh water it comes back to the
river in which it was born; bat
percentage of the shad do not re-
turn. 1t may be great percentage.
1t is certainly the expectation
when shad fry are placed in such a
river as the Hudson that the young
fish which survive and go to sea
will return to the Hudson. Here
the shores of Long Island and New
Jersey would serve as great fun
mel to guide the fish, if they needed
guidance, to the opening to the bay
and river.
1t is not supposed, however, that
the shad Of river basin, like that
of Chesapeake bay, for example, re-
turn each group to its own particu-
lar stream. In Chesapeake bay shad
would come in from the sea togeth-
er, but once inside the bay they
would be likely to seek each the
most convenient of the streams
cmptying into it.
Shad have sometimes been caught
in New York bay in the early part
of the season with the roe much ad-
vanced. These may be simply indi-
vidual cases of early maturity in
shad belonging here. Shad CORE
spondingly late have been caught
here. Roe shad have been taken in
the bay as late as August, but gen
orally the shad come in with the roe
in the condition that might be ex-
pected in fish that knew where they
: were going and when they were go
ing to get there, and fishermen in
cline to think of the early shad with
the advanced roe that it is one that
from some cause, perhaps stress of
weather, has overrun its river.
That the shad does not always
seek its own river is plainly shown
on the Pacific coast, where the shad
is not native, but was introduced
from the east. Shad were planted
there chieilv in the Sacramento riv-
or, but they have now spread all
along the coast, as far north as
southern Alaska. There is, however,
along the Pacific coast cold cur
rent which the shad does not seek
to pass. 1t is found in the bays and
cstuarics ard can be caught the year
round, and the natural barrier that
prevents its making an ofling has
doubtless led to its general move
ment along the coast.-New York

His Only Chance.

Is there a man in all this
audience" demanded the female
lecturer on woman's rights that
has ever done anything to tighten
the burden on his wife's shoulders?
What do you know of woman's
work?
Is there a man here, " she con-
tinued. folding her arms and look
ing over the assembly with superb
scorn, that has ever got up i'll the
morning, leaving his tired, worn
out wife to enjoy her slumbers;
gone downstairs, made the fire,
cooked his own breakfast, sewed
the missing buttons on the child
ren's clothes, darned the family
stockings, secured the pots and
kettles, cleaned and filled the
lamps and done all this, if neces-
sary, day after day, uncomplain-
ingly? If there be such man in
the audience, let him rise up. l
should really like to see him"
And in the rear of the hall
mild-looking man in spectacles, in
obedience to the summons, timidly
arose. He was the husband of the
eloquent speaker. 1t was the first
time he had ever had a chance to
assert himself.

Caddy's Comment.

Walter J. Travis, the golfer, set
up his bali and then made a half
dozen swishes at the short grass
with the driver.
I am not in good FORM he
said. I am playing like broker
we had here last week.
This broker played once around,
making a dreadful exhibition of
himself. OF this, though, he was
not aware. He was doing pretty
we'll for him.
The man s caddy was an I'M
usually quiet, stolid lad. a boy
with a freckled face quite devoid
of expression.
And since the caddy never
once laughed or sneered at his bad
play the broker took a fancy to
him. And he said at the end of the
round, in the hope of getting a
compliment:
" I have been travelling for the
last six months. l am quite out of
practice. That is why I am in such
bad form today
The caddy replied calmly:
Then we've played before,
have ye, sir?' Lewiston Jour

he sat down and waited for his clients

much the dignity Of his position. The
day passed, and no one called, and an
other and another, until weeks went

One morning, however, he was at the
depot to attend upon the arrival of the
daily accommodation train, quite an

National Campaign Fund.-.

During national campaigns the books
of the treasurer and manager are kept
In a peculiar way. Instead Of entering
accounts by name each account is
given a number and is thus carried
throughout the campaign. The key to
this legendary system is known only
to two or three trusted men, and the
accountants who keep the books have
not the slightest knowledge of what
state committee or other organization
or individual stands behind the mum
Der. After the campaign is over the
books are burned, and all the records,
except possibly some private memoran-
da kept by the manager, are wiped
out of existence. Such a thing as the
auditing Of campaign expenditures was
never known and probably never will
be known so far as national campaigns
are concerned Everything is trusted
to the honor Of the responsible Slen,
and I have lever heard hat any of
the managers Of a national campaign
were suspected of betrayal of their
trust In any way.-Walter Wellman In
