The Methodicsi Fish.


The sunniest fish that ever could be
Lived down in the depths of a very deep
sea.
He knitted his brows and he scratched
his old head,
And after reflection he soberly said:
'l've given the subject much serious
thought,
And ten chances to one shall some day
be caught.
Now, If that comes to pass, I trust that
I may
Be caught in an orderly, businesslike
way.
No one in his senses can ever deny
A hook is intended to go in an eye,
Yet many a fish Is so careless he will
Take hook in his mouth or perhaps in
his gill.
But I'm more methodical, so shall try
To join in true union the hook and the
eye"
Well this orderly fish went his orderly
ways.
He kept his eyes open, with wide,
thoughtful gaze,
And whenever he saw well baited hook,
He rolled up his eye with contemplative
look
And then swan away, with satisfied
wink,
Saying, "That's not the hook to, fit my
eye, I Think"
So he kept his eyes open, as every one
ought,
And somehow the wise old fish never
was caught

Mean and Means.

You meet a person now and then
that will insist on using the word
means as a plural noun. He will say
''by these MEANS" instead Of "by this
MEANS" leaving the inference that he
regards "mean" as the singular form
Of the noun. Now, "mean" is not a
noun, but an adjective; means" is the
noun, and it is used with perfect pro-
priety in connection with a singular
number pronoun or adjective. It is a
singular noun with plural form, like
''news"

A LARGE Gum Tree,

What is probably one Of the largest
specimens of the tupelo, or sour gum,
In the United States was found recent
~ growing in the Ocmulgee river
swamp, near Abbeville, Ga.
It towers above the surrounding for
est Of immense trees and is more than
twelve feet in diameter. There Is a
large hollow at the base, which extends
upward for distance Of fifteen feet,
with an aperture large enough to admit
tall man.
The tupelo gum, which is botanically
known as Nyssa aquatica, delights in
swampy places, where it is frequently
found growing among deciduous cy-
press and endeavoring apparently to
initiate it by sending from among its
roots rudimentary knees similar to that
great southern monarch.

when Edward G. Stratman broke his
left leg. He was clearing up about the

in some manner stepped on small,
curved piece of scrap iron in such a
way as to throw it, with considerable
force, against his shin, breaking both
bones. He is at present as comfortable

Drama of the Great Conflict. "

| Mineral Point is again called upon to
mourn the departure of an sctor in the
drama of the Great Conflict. " j.
Frank Potter, who mad lived in our
midst for twenty-six years, through all
of which period of time he commanded
the respect and confidence of the peo-
pie by his manly and upright conduct,

mysterious realms last Friday morn
ing, Oct 9. In consequence heavy
sorrow settled over the city.
Upwards of two years ago deceased

cred, a weakness of the heart being
the legacy. The evening before his
death he, with his wife and her sister,
Mrs. VIM. Wasley, VINO CHANGED to be
here from Minnesota on a visit, were
at the home of MIR. and Mrs. X. II.
Goldsworthy and partook of refresh
ments and pleasant social time. His
health was as good as usual and he re-
paired to his home in his customary
good natured spirits During the night
he was suddenly attacked with illness.
A doctor was called; it was heart
trouble, and before the following noon
the life of Mr.. Potter terminated.
j. r. Potter was born Nav l8 1853
at Muscoda, Wis, and soon afterward
his parents moved to Platteville. He
was married to Laura Charles Sept. %,
1880, and came to Mineral Point in
October, 1882, since which time he had
been employed at the zinc works, most
of the time as cooper. Two sons
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Potter, one
of them dying in infancy.
Relatives from out of town who at
tended the funeral are: Mr.. Potter
sister, Mrs. H. E. Knox and her hus-
band of Whitewater; his sister Mrs
c. H. Clifford and cousin, Miss Mary |
Grindell, both of Platteville.
CARD OF THANKS.
For the numberless acts of kindness
extended by neighbms and friends dur
ing our great bereavement we hereby |
express heartfelt thanks.

all the members of the cast are in fine
shape for the opening night. The last
rehearsal, which took place Monday
night at the Opera House, was com
pletely successful from every stand
point and ensured all of good work in
their parts. Miss Mclean is doing far
better in this play than in any which
she has attempted and w. D. Adams,
who handles the title role, is strong in
his part. Gus Murphy, as Horrigan,
the political boss, has one of the best
parts in the play and makes the most
of it. while the local theater goers
who have seen Major George Potter
act, can realize that as the Irish ward
politician, Alderman Phelan, he is as
good as ever.

crew of the finest sportsmen on the
coast. Her owner is John Kyle of San
Diego, who built her himself. Wilbur
Kyle. the former S son, is captain, and
Captain Lew B. Harris, an experienced
seaman, will act as nagivator. Herbert
Bowles is mate, and all the crew are
members of the San Diego Yacht Club.
The full roster of those aboard is as
follows: Captain Wilbur Kyle; naviga-
tor, Lew B. Harris; mate, Herbert

Schwartz, George Lane, G. w. Squires,

SINCLAIR IS CONFIDENT.
The Gwendolyn II of Seattle is the
smallest of all the entries, but she is a
sturdy little craft. Her lines are very
easy and she carries a wonderful APP
pearance of power in the water. Be-
low her line she has an easy bilge that
leads down to a deep keel. If the race
were going to be beat to windward,
she should come very near to winning;
but, apparently, she has little chance
in running with big fellows like the
Lurline and Hawaii.
The Gwendolyn is owned by Lloyd
B. Johnson, Dean B. Johnson, his son,
and Henry Henke. She belongs to the
Elliott Bay Yacht Club, and is cap
tanned by Lloyd B. Johnson. Her nav.
igator is JOS Redfern, and Dean John
son acts as mate The rest of her
crew are: Steward, Ed. Tassel; boat
swain, w. B. Jack; paymaster, Henry
Henke, and A. B. Walker Brunnisk. an
enthusiast from Chicago, who belongs
to the Jackson Park Yacht Club in
the fresh water city.
We expect the race will take about
twelve days. Captain Sinclair face
tiously declares that he will make the
run in eleven days and four hours. elm
fact says he, 81 have made an APP
pointment for dinner on the evening of
July Is, and expect to drop anchor
about eight bells in the afternoon watch
so as to have plenty of time to go
ashore and change. - Even though the
Lurline arrives first, the result of the
race will not be known for some eight
hours afterward. Every second of time
will count in this race, and the yachts
will jockey for the start just the same
as racing sloops on a 12knot run. From
theNsound of the gun till the end of the
race it will be strenuous work aboard
the racers. None of the captains will
overlook a chance to gain some advan-
tage, and, figure though we may, none
of us can tell who viii win the race
until Diamond Head is reached.
