LAKE SUPERIOR FISH STORY.

IF one may believe all they tell
him about the ciscowet up in the
Lake Superior country" said a New
Yorker who has heard 1t all. che may
readily concur in their declaration
that the ciscowet is the rarest and
one of the oldest of all our freshwater
fishes, says the New York sun. 1t is
found only in Lake Superior. they
will tell you. and never at a depth of
less than thirty fathoms.
The ciscowet,' said the encyclo-
pedic native who described this fish
lieved to be a hybrid from a cross of
the white fish and lake trout, but
that was long ago dssproved. Il
grows to a weight of thirty pounds
and the female invariably contains
spawn. This has led to the belief
that the ciscowet is always spawning,
but the more probable theory is that
it spawns twice year, which in itself
is enough to give ia a unique place
among fishes, fresh water or salt.
The ciscowet is unique in an
other particular. II is the latest of
all known fishes and its flesh is so de
liciously favored that it is palatable
without being cooked. Its name is
said to have been derived from that
peculiar quality, ciscowet being isis
Ko-Wet," an ojibwa term meaning
cooks itself"
Owing to the great depth at
which this fish persists in making its
habitat 1t is a rarity in the market
and Is never seen away from the Lake
Superior country-although said my
encyclopedia native warningly, and
thought apprehensively, you will
find ciscowet listed on the bills of
fare of all the hotels as you travel
through, big and little, good and bad
and If you are deluded into ordering
1t on the belief that you are to re-
gale yourself on this rarest of pisca-
torial delicacies you will wonder what
sort of a palate that man must have
who can declare ciscowet to be that
delicacy.
The fish they will place before |
you as ciscowet will not only not be

ON the job.

Amusing epitaphs are common
enough, but il is not often that a
tombstone inscription is meant to
carry a business advertisement. A
West Virginia man tells OF singular
one which may be seen in a cemetery
at Wheeling. It was the idea of a
widow of a man named Perkins, a
partner in a commercial house known
as Perkins & Parker" Soon after
the decease of her spouse Mrs. Per
kins married Mr.. Parker, her late
husbands business associate.
The inscription reads:
Sacred to the memory of James
Perkins, for thirty years senior part
ner of the firm of Perkins & Parker.

iron bucket made for a tubular well.
Six hail stones went through this
bucket, puncturing it easily. A crowd
which was viewing the wreck after
this storm came across this bucket
and commented upon it. Finally
Henthorn bet young man that he
could not with single blow with
hammer drive hole through the side
of the bucket. The young man took
the bet, barred his arm, and smashed
into the bucket, but did not puncture
it.-Wichita (Kan.) Eagle.

The Question of the Hour.

The man sat on one side of the
big lamp, the woman on the other.
A thoughtful look clouded both
faces. They had been silent for a
long time. Finally the man stirred
uneasily.

The woman looked up.
"And what in Tophet am I to give
Aunt Mary?"

CONTENT.

Dear little boy,
AS you ride my knee,
Bouncing and jouncing
SO merrily;
With your eyes afire,
And your face aglow,
Little of envy does
Your heart know.
You have no wish
For another's gold;
You have all the Joy
That your heart can hold.
You don't envy
Your neighbours coat,
Or wish to ride
In your neighbours boat.
Dear little tad,
You smile tonight;
You laugh in glee,
Anu your neaIL 10 4lSuts
And you ride away
On your daddy's knee,
AS happy tonight
As you'll ever be.
You envy no man
His golden pile;
Your face ii lit
With a brighter smile;
You envy no man
His coach and four;
You love the knee
OF your daddy more.
