This man had been on protracted spree of several weeks, and his busi- ness was going to the dogs My friend thought 1t would be kindly thing to send him to sanitarium for treat meEt. He did so, and the man was given the cure for the whisky habit. When he was discharged from the sanitarium the fiEt thing he did was to go to a saloon. He called for whis- ky. He tasted 1t, but did not fancy the flavor of it. He set his distaste of 1t down to the cure he had been given by my friends orders and imlne diately began suit for $50,000 dam ages. He says in his complaint that he had highly cultivated and dis criminating taste for whisky, which had taken years to develop and that
 was spoiled by the cure. do not know how my friend will come out. but he is not helping any more down and outs without first obtaining their consent. New York Journal.

WHITEFISH ARE SCARCE
SAYS AN OLD FISHERMAN
TELEPHONE SOUTH Iss

w d. Tomlin. secretary Of the Du-
luth Fisheries association. says in the
News Tribune that IL seems as though
there should be some change in the
system OF planting fish fry in the wa
ters of the western end of Lake Super
ior, for despite the liberal planting
some varieties seem TO be getting more
scarce, and others are not multiplying.
II have been talking with some of
the commercial fishermen from Isle
Royale" said Mr.. Tomln, "and they
tell me that whitefish have become
very rare Some of the fishermen have
taken none OF this variety this year
and others very few. They have had a
fair season, as far as the catch of trout
is concerned. but these do not appear

they should when il is considered that
for 25 years an effort has been made
each season to propagate them, as well
as the whtehsh.
During the past quarter of a GEN.
tury probably a billion trout and
whtefish fry have been planted in the
lake. Much OF the fry has been plant
ed in deep water. | do not pretend TO
know just what is the best system to
observe in planting the fry, but in
Wisconsin they place them in shallow
water and it is claimed that Is a sue
