FISH TALES are often exaggerations, but
we have no need OF stretching the.truth in
our business as FISH DEALERS. Fresh
ness is an absolutely indispensable quality
in unsaited or unsmoked fish and we handle
none about which there may be the slightest
doubt. We keep every kind in season from
the gamely trout to solid mullet. And we
don't try to make a fortune on every pound
of hshswe sell either. SHF ROCK q co.

FORGETS HIS BROKEN LEG
Fake Mendicant Takes to His Heels
on Sight of Special
Policeman.

None of the worthless mendicsnts
thronging the streets of Salt Lake can
compare with James Wilson who was ar
rested in Brigham street by Special
Policeman c. c.. Riley last night. The
policeman saw Wilson hobbling away
from the residence of Bishop Franklin S.
SpaIding OF the Episcopal church, after
the bishop had given the beggar tickets
for a meal and a nights lodging at the
Volunteers shelter.
Wilson continued his begging, the tick
cts handed him by the kindly bishop not
being exactly what he wanted-he was
looking for cash.
He stopped passers, claiming that he
had broken his leg and was striving to
get enough money to pay for treatment
at a hospital. He seemed to have great
difficulty in dragging himself along the
street
But when he saw the policeman he for
got his broken leg and took to flight. He
ran fast and with the vigor of a man
with an unimpaired set of neither eX-
tremities. He was Overtaken. In his
pocket was found a bottle half filled with
alcohol The other half, judging from
the fragrance of his breath, was inside
of him.
He was charged with vagrancy when
locked in the city Jail.

ing the time of the men employed in the
signal department. He placed a fictitious
name on the rolls and drew a voucher
for S4S. Then, according to the admissions
of the men, ne induced Rogers TO call for
Rogers that the man in whose name the
voucher was drawn owed him certain
amount of money and that he adopted
this means of securing what rightfully
belonged TO him. Rogers did as he was
bid. He signed for the voucher, went and
had IL cashed and gave the amount 10
Strom. who in turn paid him g for his
trouble. In this connection Strom showed
Rogers a poor imitation of a letter of
man who owed him the amount in ques-
ton and giving him the right to secure
the voucher.
StrOm was arrested by Deputy Sheriffs
Clark and Naylin on Tuesday evening,
and during that night Rogers was picked
ND by the railroad officers at Rock
Springs. The latter was brought to Og-
den yesterday morning and placed in the
county Jail with StrOm. Both men made
statements in writing TO the railroad Of

SPRING IN SALT LAKE CITY.

Spring, spring, oh! joyous spring,
Its song is dS old as the hills
Acts just like a honey bees sting
When papa gets hold of the milliner
bills.
The ladies come out with a new bunch
of hats,
TO the eyes of man. tears it will bring,
But then you know you can't help that
For it's the beautiful spring.
The new street cars will all be out
Their bells win noisily ring,
The public with joy sure will shout
Of it happens the first day of spring.
You know it is the same old bluff,
Its praise all people sing,
But the cry of the man who pays the bills
Is to HI with the first day of spring.

Saying to himself the while.
'Ods Bodkins, but things are lovely,
could shout for very joy"
Echo saw him rOmping by
And she tried by wileS to lure him,
For he was exceeding fair
And he knew ii. there's the rub.
Through long mOrnS and afternoons
He would gaze upon his shape,
While poor Echo mOurned and mourned
Calling midst the ancient cliffs.
Dear Reader: Do you think Narcissus
is dead? Not by jugful, Not as long
as plate glass windows, which show a
good reflection exist.

Beautiful spring has come at last

And now the land will soon be decked
With sweet flowers in their bloom
And lawns all out in veTdant green
Where III was nauSht but gloom.

Ger the meadows green and brown.
Sweetly the sun is shining
Ger the earth spring renoWn.

Glorious spring time is here, and that's
no joking.
Let's all get busy and go a fishing,
All you need is a hook and line and flee
You're not game to go with me.
We'll eat. and drink. and sing and fish,
And in this merry making all take a dish,
And as for sport well go the limit.
And get all the fun there is in it.
And as for bait take a piece of liver
And cast your hook in the Jordan river
The string of fish will be surprising.
