crant,s PeacefuI End.

The peace that he had so often
wished for others came to him at last
in the truer and more enduring sense.
It was the calm death that he had
hoped for, a gentle and gradual falling
to sleep. The weary, anxious night
had passed, the rays OF the morning
sun stole quietly into the death-cham.

How Two Boys Landed = Big Fish.

How Two Boys Landed 4 Bio Fish.
While Earl Stone and Paris Hatta-
baugh, nine and nineteen years old.
respectively, were eshing in Richland
creek. at the old water mill, one mile
east OF town. yesterday they found a
large catfish fastened between log
OF the milldam and stone 1t had
run into the trap during hign water,
and as the water receded it was una
BILE to get loose.
How to land the fish was question,
for the boys reasoned that the fish, as
soon as dislodoed. would become un-
manageable: but they were equal to
the emergency. While Paris sat on
the fish Earl took TIE shoestring band
from his straw hat. put it through the
gills of the fish and then the two
dragged 1t ashore. In triumph the
boys brought, their catch, the largest
OF the season. to town and found its
weight to be thirty-three pounds.
