to wait patinetly few weeks because
that is our business method.

good roads so you may conveniently

ward the money in advance, for that
is our business method, and you shall
collect from the business men in you
vicinity as much money as you can

you than they do, still it is against
our rules to donate money for build

Sixth. You shall buy your tools
from us and be your own mechanic,
in order to drive the mechanics from
your vicinity, for we wish 1T so.
Seventh. - You shall induce your
neighbor to buy everything from us,

community, the sooner we can put
your local merchants out of business
and charge you any price We please.

the beautiful pictures in our catal

drove six miles in buggy to the Sni
where there were holes and rifles. A
can of angleworms, hunk of liver
and several lines and hooks with red
bobbers or fat jug corks comprised
our outfit.
"Our poles were cut from the thick
cts along the banks of the creek. We
always fitted up two lines apiece, one
for catfish out in the middle OF the hole
and the other for fat, yellow perch near
the edge of the creek.
"a thrill runs through me yet when l
recall the first bite on those spring
trips. Two or three hobs of the cork
and it would move swiftly away, grad
ually sinking out of sight. Then we
knew a catfish had the bait A perch
takes the cork under more suddenly.
"Along the rifles, too. was a great
place for perch. The water flowed over
the rocks a little way, then into deep
pool, then more rocks and another
pool These pools were teeming with
perch and long suckers in the spring.

going out there tomorrow"

a very old ballad we take this:
There was a criminal in a cart

''Tother's the worgt-drive on the caFtT'

More modern is this verse:

cabin Of the steamer during the last hour of the trip, in order to have de- clarations made out before a customs officer. Such declarations made in tho rush and confusion that mark the end of the coyage are unsatisfactory to the government officials and a certain source of annoyance to the passengers. The other feature Is the oath that has been required when the declaration ts made. which involves the proppsition of compelling the passenger to make oath as to what foreign articles his thereafter searching his baggage to See whether or not he has told the truth.
 The new system will change this. Declarations will be distributed to the passengers during the early part of the voyage and made out by them at their leisure. The declaration will be sim pie and straightforward and it's in- structions will tell the passenger to put down the different articles acquir- cd by him while abroad. together with their cost or value.
 Sometime before the last day of the voyage these declarations will be col- lected by some officer of the ship. who VIII be heid responsible both by the steamship company and the Depart ment for the work of seeing that such written statement is received from ehcn passenger. when the customs off, ficers board the ship in the harbor, a deputy collector will get from the steamship officer all of the declarations to made out and deliver them to the chief representative of the surveyor on the dock. When the declaration is handed to the steamship officer a cou- pom will be handed to the passenger which will be his receipt and which will contain the same official number as the declaration itself
 After the baggage Is landed and properly placed on the dock ready for customs inspection. the passenger will present this coupon to the proper rep resentative of the surveyor secure the services of an inspector. who will ex- amhine his baggage and verify the de- claration previously made by him on board ship. No oath of any kind will be required. The steamship companies, 1t Is said. will cooperate heartily with the department in carrying out the new system.
