His wife, however, Mrs. Smith

which she and her husband were

GOOD FISH STORIESFROM CUMBERLAND

The best fish story of the season
is the latest, A party of young men
from Cumberland returned from o
fishing trip on the South Branch
few days ago; and report the follow
ing experience: They we're fishing
in very fair luck with minnows, when
a summer duck appeared, and circled
around several times, evidently in
search of meal. Finally he made
dart for the water very close to one
of the fishermen. When he arose he
had brought the fsherman's line along
with him, and the way the reel on
the rod whirled around and paid out
the line astonished those looking on.
The duck had swallowed hook and
minnow, and Us the line held the
duck was soon apart of the spoils of
the fisherman. 1t was something
unusual to catch wild ducks while fish
ing for bass, and as the boys knew
they would be compelled to show
down they took the duck home with
the hook and line in hiS.little inside.
But that is not all. One of the
party was actually attacked by afsh-
good sized mullet or 6 stone roller.
The fish seemed to be in a bad humor
about something, and he jumped out
of the water and rushed up the leg
of the fsherman's. panta,oon's as far
the knee. The man fairly howled,
his friends say, and for a moment
CONSERVATION reigned. The fish was
finally killed and the fisherman was
restored by little consolation from
a tin cup.-Hampshire Review.

BRAIN LEAKS.

Politics ought to make more ia
miliar cellmateS.
A lot of people tire themselves out
looking for Ravens of rest.
The trouble with most of US is too
little initiative and too much refer
endum.
A lot of men are deceived by be-
lieving their wives swallow everything
they are told.
Last year the women looked like
hour glasses; this year they look like
thermometers.
BY the way, has the discoverer of
the north pole put any food in the
mouths of the hungry:
A popular song is not so much
evidence of merit as it is an indict-
ment of the pubIic's musical taste.
1t is hard to interest US in polar
expeditions and awaiting when the
home team strikes a winning streak.
There are two kinds of charity
the charity that helps men and the
charity that helps men to help them
selves.
If we know it we never try to do
business with a man whose children
creep silently around the house when
he is at home.
Of course some fellow had to find
the north pole just about the time
we began wondering how we were
going to keep the house warm.

GATHER MUSSELS FOR THE SHELLS

Thefrstmussel gathering which has
evei been done in this immediate
part of the river was begun this
morning by two young men who have
spent some time working few miles
below this city and have already ship
ped nearly hundred tons of shells
this year, says the Marietta Journal.
In capturing the mussels, the BIZ
valves well known habit of Selling
upon anything which touches its lips
is taken advantage Of: A piece of.
gas pipe about fifteen feet in length
hung with four-pronged Hooks
hung four hooks to a string-is slow
ly dragged over the bottom of the
river and the mussels seize the hooks,
hanging on until they are pulled of
by their captors. Sometimes they
have such a tight grip that it becomes
necessary to light match under the
shell to make them release their hold.
The young men who are at work
at this city have two boats and each
boat can attend to two sets of hooks,
one being cleaned while the other is
being drawn over the river bottom.
From one-half to a bushel of mussels
are secured every time the hooks are
drawn out and in the course of day
about two tons of live musseIs are
captured. Owing to the fact that all
mussels are boiled to remove them
from the shells, valuable pearls are
never found,

He COULD SYaiPATHIzE

A large touring car, containing a
man and his wife, met hay wagon
fally loaded in narrow road, says a
writer in Harper's Magazine. The
women declared that the farmer must
back out, but her husband contended
that she was unreasonable.
But you can't back the auto
mobile SO far, . she said and / don't
intend to move for anybody. He
should have seen u.s.
The husband pointed out that this
was impossible, owing to an abrupt

won't move if we have to stay here
all night
The man in the automobile was
starting to argue the matter, when
the farmer, who had been sitting
quietly on the hay, interrupted.
Never mind, old man." he ex-
claimed, ''rll try to back out! I've
got one just like her at home"
