A GREAT FISH STORY. .

We were camping in northern Wisconsin

bass and bacon we lay under the pine
trees smoking and telling fish stories in
which it was always the bigger bass"
that got away, says a writer in the Chi
cago Tribune. Our guide listened with the
gravity of a man who knew all about fish
stories. and finally he knocked the ashes
from his pipe and told us a story.
Once. long ago" he said. there was A
terrible big trout up in Smiths pool.
Every fellow who fished in the pool had
hooked him one time or other, but he al
thing.
II tried to catch him myself a dozen
times. One day l was sitting by the pool.
when splash, a young Robin 1uttered, out
the water. In q minute there was a rush.
a CLEAN of yellow and the old trout had
thrown himself clear out of the water and
had swallowed the young robin whole.
What did 1 10? Well, / climbed that
tree in short order, got another one Of
those young robbins. baited my hook with
1t and threw it in just as lightly as I
could. In a minute there was another
rush, another CLEAN Of yellow and again
water as he swallowed the robin, and in
a minute more 1 had him hooked.
1t was lucky | wasn't fishing with any
of this n~ew-fangled rigging these boys use
and that ! wasn't bothered with a reel to
look after or I would have lost him sure.
As IT was, it took me a devil Of a time to
get him out.
Good to eat? Great Scott, We didn't
try to eat him.. He was so full of hooks
we sold him for old iron. you know

important meeting of cotton manufac-

1t was learned that the expert ac-

than a gang of carpenters employed in
putting in new pl~ate-glass windows. A

much as the work could not be carried
on during business hours it was de-
cided to install the glass during Sun

The building, which is classic In style,
the Broad street front showing n row of
Ionic columns, is of limestone on n base

of time for the delivery of stocks, and
at 8 2. m. it again sounds the gong, fol

Mr.. Plant said that practically all of the
traffic, both passenger and fkeight. was
handled on t~hroughs trains. He explained
that, az the cost of handling the traffic In
North Carolina was ow, it had the general
effect of reducing the general expense OF

Mr.. Plant said:
There is no method known by which
the cost to do interstate business can be
determined with mathematical accuracy"
