Why He Didn't Smile.

A certain well known humcrist re.
Gently attended banquet at which
he was seated beside a man who seem
ed TO have almost mania for story
telling. He began with the oysters
and had at least one story for each
course clear down to the Roquefort.
The humorist listened in patience, but
did not smile or make any comment.
Finally the story teller noticed the
fact that he was not eliciting any ex-
pressions of mirth, and, being one who
was not at all afflicted with diffidence,
he asked:
Say, old man, what's the matter
with my stories, anyhow? You haven't
cracked a smile over any of them"
IF l haven't seemed to appreciate
your stories. you will have to blame
my modesty."
"Your modesty? There's nothing
about any of the stories I've told that
ought to interfere with anybody's mod
esty. At least I supposed they were
clean. II there's double meaning in
any of them please tell me-
There's nothing at all the matter
with them. They're good. clean sto-
ries. Nevertheless my modesty forbids
me to laugh at them. 1 wrote them

AWAY ALL THE SUMMER.

Prof Allen d. Hole of Earlham col
lege has just received notice of his APP
pointment as member of the United
States Geological survey and has
been assigned the work of the survey
of the Silverton, Colorado, region. He

DID THIS SPARROW
TAKE ITS OWN LIFE?
Bird Found Hanging by String
Near Its Nest.
OCCURRENCE is UNUSUAL.

Is the suicide mania hanging SO
closely over the city of Richmond that
even the sparrows commit self de-
struction? The residents of South
Sixth street might be excused for
thinking so. Bene ath the gable of the
John Bayer bread factory hangs pref
ty brown sparrow. A string stretched
taught is around it's neck and attached
to a small indention in the brick wall
in which the sparrow was building it's
nest. 1t is supposed that the sparrow
was using the string in the construc-
ton of it's nest and when it attempted
to fly out of it's home, the string in
some manner became wrapped around
the birds neck and in the nest in such
manner that the little creature was
brought to a sudden stop in its flight
and was hanged. The dead bird has
been noticed by many and has created
a great deal of interest by passersby
on South Sixth street.

BASS LAKE MAY Be
SPOILED AS RESORT
Plans of the State Fish and
Game Commissioner In
dicate This Fate.
DISAPPOINTMENT LOCALLY.
PLACE MAY BE TURNED INTO A
STATE FISH HATCHERY BUT 1T
WILL NOT BE DONE WITHOUT
PROTEST.

IF the present plans of the state
game and fish commissioner carry,
the days of Bass Lake as a summer re-
sort are numbered and Richmond peo-
pie who go TO that delightful water
ing place to spend their vacations viii
have to find new place in which to
cast line and angle for the denizens
of the deep. 1t has been decided to
convert Bass Lake into state fish
hatchery. The state game and fish
commissioners, it is said, will stock
the lake with millions of small fish
and when they become of sufficient
size will stock other lakes and streams
in Indiana.
Bass Lake is popular with Rich
mond people and if it be converted in
to a state fist, hatchery they 1ill be
much disappointed When the plans
of the commissioners are fully known,
it is reported that systematic efforts
will be made to Illustrate the project.
There are several people in Richmond
and vicinity who have laid their plans
to visit the lake this summer, but it is
thought the lake will not be converted
into hatchery this year. and Will not
therefore interfere with this years va
cations.
