Many of the boys who indulge in fish
ing are extremely lucky, according to
their way of putting it, but VIM. Price
has been the only one to show his string
as evidence of his good luck. 1t is quite
amusing, however, to listen to the tishy
stories: even Jim Cartwright discredits
them, Notwithstanding none have equal
those told by himself. An Annias badge
could be worn with honor by the whole
bunch. Boys you'll have to answer for
your provarications some day. "Don't
you never think OF dying?" ..,

HOW HE FOUND THE KEY.
Brothers Method Was Simple, but
Also Somewhat Costly.

Miss Dresswell had just returned.
after spending a week with a country
friend. Imagine her CONSERVATION
when she discovered her previously
wellstocked wardrobe empty!
Gracious, George!" she said to her
brother. Where are all my clothes? :?
And what in the world is that great
black patch on the lawn?"
The face Of George exhibited all the
well-known signs of conscious right
eousness. and he met her gaze un-
flinchingly
Maria" he replied consolingly, "you
wrote to me that if l wanted the key
of the billiard room l should find it in
the pocket Of your bolero.'
''Yes. yes."
"Well, | don't know bolero from a
fichu or a box pleat, SO l took all the
things to the lawn and burnt them.
Then | recovered the key from the
ashes"

COULD USE THE ROAD,
Irish Soldiers Great Idea When Cover
Was Badly Needed.

The following colloquy is said to
have actually occurred during one of
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment Of American infantry.
under orders to support a section of
Capt. Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite while on perfectly fat mill
tary road in full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. or course, to
lie fiat on the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the COL
ors In the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. AS a recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything AS a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were 'plopping' down the
road and kicking up the gravel. a
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say, Mike. what do the British SOL
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as flash came the retort:
"a British soldier has no head,
SORT"
After full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:

LEFT THEM ALL CRUSHED.
Power Of Wealth Impressed on GATH.
ering of Farmers.

At sale of fancy farm stock In
Massachusetts Thomas w. Lawson
was one Of the foreign buyers in at
tendance. He went in his private
car. with private secretary, chef, valet
etc: also he took up a private stock
car. specially fitted up for transporting
whatever choice animals he might
buy.
Mr.. Lawson's coming had been well
advertised, and farmers came from
far and wide 10 have a sight of him.
The fair grounds were so crowded that
many men and boys were unable to
gain admission, and they roasted on
trees surrounding the grounds so they
could peer over the high board fence
at Mr.. Lawson.
The financier was an active bidder.
After time local farmer put up
for sale a 2-year-old heifer He had
originally paid 5000 for the animal,
hut she had not turned out quite as he
had anticipated, so he did not expect
to realize more than that amount for
her. II SO much.
Some one started the bidding at
$50. Mr.. Lawson promptly and loud
ly bid $160. He was met with $165,
which he raised to S175. This was
again raised, whereat Mr. Lawson
seemed much annoyed. In an impress
sive manner he bid $3.50. and looked
haughtily around as if to indicate that
no presuming yokel should again defy
the man of wrath However, an I'M
abashed farmer ventured 5000, and
others followed until the figure stood
at 1925. Then a daring soul said $235.
There was an awful pause. while all
eyes turned expectantly toward Mr.
Lawson. Rising majestically, Mr.
Lawson roared out, six hundred dol
lars!" and with an awful crash every
man and boy perched on the surround
ing trees fell to the ground, stunned
by the power of wealth.
