THE WILLFUL FISH.

n III you ever. ever hear
II OF anything 50 queer
As the little fish who wouldn't learn to swim
For he said. II want to fly
Through the air above so high
And To be little bird upon a limb
Then his good old mother said.
With such notions in yoiU head
You can never he of any use to me;
50 you d better 60 away
From home this very day
And try your luck at living in tree.
Said the foolish little fish,
I'm sure that If ! wish
/ can sing like any hird-very sweetly.
But a man came along
With a line and hook strong
And caught the little fsh-very neatly.

Extremely nice 10 see;
He looked so very kind and mild.
And all the time he smiled and smiled
And smiled and smiled at me.
The bullfrog isn't quite polite,
Too satisfied is he.
He sat Hrenely on a log
Exactly like a china frog.
And stared and stared ar m.
But oh. the shocking seal is Just
As rude as he can be.
He shut his eyes when I was there
And turned his nose up in the air
And would not look at me!

LAKE TRAFFIC MORE POPULAR
THAN EVER.

II is often said that the palmy days
Of travel by river are over, but this re.
mark applies only temporarily to Ger.
tain streams that do not mt this time
AFFORD the necessary conditions. TAX.
Ing the world rs a whole. there IL more
journeylng by water than ever before.
The figures Of last years passenger
traffic on the lakes show that 100000
passengers were carried out Of Detroit
by bOat, 1,0OO.OOO from Chicago. 53O..
600 from Milwaukee. over 100000 each
from Port Huron. Grand Haven ana
Marquette. with smaller ports getting
prOpOrtionate share. One feature to
be noted Ii the exceptional safety Of
lake travel. Not life was lost among
the 7.5OO.OOO persons who left Detroit
by boat. and passenger casualties were
few anywhere on the lakes. The YES.
sells have Increased In size until they
are almost In the class Of ocean liners.
They offer roomy berths. cabins and
promenade decks. with good fare on
various plans, and the public comfort

TRUE PATRIOTISM.

No argument Is needed to prove that
1t Is the duty Of every man 10 take an
active interest In the government under
which he lives, and even to accept pub.
lie office when his services are needed.
But each man must decide for himself
how much of his time he can afford 10
give 10 the public without neglectIng
his duties 10 his family. Mr.. Llttlefield
Of Maine resigned from Congress the
other day on the ground that after nine
years service In Washington, at great
financial sacrifice, his duty to his fam.
lily required him 10 return TO the prac-
tice OF the law. senator spooner OF
Wisconsin resigned his seat about a
year ago for similar reasons, and
Thomas Il. Reed left Congress and the
Speakership a few years earlier, to
practice law In New York. in order to
make provision for his family The
patriotism and public spirit Of these
men are admitted, and they were no.
where Condemned for retiring, after
giving many years to the service OF
their country. Indeed, they received
more commentator for leaving public
Office to make a living than is given Ia
men OF wealth who seek 10 serve the
public i'm the Senate. The recent death
Of the Duke Of DeyOnshire has removed
from public life In England rich man
who was not condemned for his actiyi,
ties In office He was one Of the wealth
lest peers In the United Kingdom, and
might have lived at ease In the enjoy
mcnt % his inherited estates but dur
Ing practically all Of his long life he
devoted his time and his great aOlitie.
