HERE'S A MEAN FISHERMAN.
Bad Luck Got on the Nerves n Wayne
County Citizen.

'"The meanest fisherman ever knew
was one who ate his bait" said Judge
Tom, the wisest o7 all the wise nshcr.
men OF Wayne county Pennsylvania.
Besides resembling Buffalo Bill, Judge
Tom is famous for an encyclopedia

county.

just naturally mean. that's all Tie

Ladore one time and It was then |

was.
II never was so shot with bad luck
rs on that day First of one Of our
horses went lame before we'd gone
five miles and we had to borrow Pat
Coggins' team To do the rest Of the
trip to the lake.
Then we went out and borrowed
net of Joe Peters and waded out for
live bait, these little lingering perch
and sunlsh the bass like Well, sir,

foot. That started him mad.
We borrowed Joe Peters boat and
rowcd over to a corner OF the lake
where we knew the bass lay. Before
we started this fellow filed his pipe
and laid his paper package Of tobacco
under the seat. Later when he started
to take a smoke he found that the
boat leaked and his tobacco was float
ing on about half an inch OF water.

We'll, sir, we fished for three hours

We'll. believe me. this rhinoceros

The report states that the best spe.

is the Virginia deer, for it can be

That the industry Is we'll under way

British Scientist Claims to Make Men
Young by Electricity.

Dublin.-Sir James Grant highly In
terested the learned members of the
British association with a description
of his "youth-giving machine as 1t
is called unscientifically. Sir James
calls the instrument "neurostone."
Dry cells supply electricity to the
"neurostone," which acts directly on
inactive nervous centers, or those
which are poisoned in effect by nox-
ious gases formed in the system az a
person grows older. Electricity, as
Sir James Grant applies 1t, cleans out
and stimulates these nerve centers,
gives new vigor to them and so great
ly lengthenes the span of life.
Sir James told the scientists that
by using the "neurostone" he himself
had been enabled to give up eye
glasses, which he had used for years,
and that it has made him generally
more active and younger.

DEER FOR MARKETS
REPORT ON POSSIBLE PROFIT IN
RAISING ANIMAL.
When State Game Laws Are Amended
Production Of Venison May Be
Widely Adopted on Va
cant Lands.

Washington is quite probable
that some day, not far distant. deer
meat will become as common and as
cheap in our market as mutton.
Such Is the belief of ID. Il. Lantz of
the United States biological survey.
who. In an exhaustive report issued
by the department of agriculture, dis
cusses the economic possibilities OF
raising deer and elk from purely
business proposition of profit.
Mr.. Lantz even suggests that legis-
lation be enacted which will make this
possible, and in his report upon the
matter he tells how 1t is possible TO
domesticate deer for the market.
To the average American the report
of Mr.. Lantz will come as a surprise,
for in nearly every section of the coun-
try deer are protected as zealously as
the robin. Aside from stating that the
public would profit by being able to
buy the nutritious meat, Mr.. Lantz
adds that 250,000,000 acres of land in
this country, which at present is
worthless, could be utilized as deer
reservations.
According to the report, the chief
obstacle to profitable propagation Of
deer in this country is the restrictive
character of state laws governing the
killing, sale and transportation oil
game. Many state legislatures have
already modified the game laws, and
in this way, as a result, the deer and
elk industry has been started in few
states with considerable success.
Arkansas, Minnesota. Missouri and
North Carolina have so modified their
game laws that deer can be raised for
the market under certain restrictions.
Many other states only permit deer
to be sold to owners of reservations.
Mr.. Lantz states that safeguards
against the destruction of wild deer In
place of domesticated deer are not
d.aleult to enforce, and suggests sys'
