phens, never to bring home more fish
than we can eat at single, meal |
never let fish lie in the dead water In
the bottom of boat. ! never pui a
chain through his gills and drag him
behind the boat until he is water
logged. | leave these habits to the
ignorantes who infest the beautiful
lakes of northern New York, seeking
what they can destroy. Now, a nine
pound pickerel is a splendid catch,
especially when you have him on a
six-ounee rod, and a 12-strand line. My
little steel rod will bend itself into a
circle. 1t looks like the hair spring of
watch when very busy. Having
landed my nine-pounder, / place him
right alongside of me on the seat of
the boat and keep him there till we
go ashore. When served, he is as firm
as rock, yet tender, fresh and sweet.
y makes all the difference in the
world in the taste of a fish the way
you treat him after he's caught

The Oath In Court.

kissing the book" which is likely
to be done away with before. long in
England, is a rather late development
of the mere touching of the gospels
with the fingers, which dates from the
sixth century. 1t is likely that the
kiss was originally intended not to
increase the solemnity of the oath but
to signify reverence and affection
for the book. The kiss appears
to have come into fashion toward the
end OF the sixteenth century ana
would seem, from what George Fca
says of it, to have been a Protestant
innovation According to him, the I'M
reformed method was simply to hold
the gospels with three fingers above
the book, typifying the Trinity, and
two fingers below, typifying the two
fold destruction of the body and soul
that an oath-taker invoked upon hira-
self if he swore falsely.

a single capitalist who is sally a 81.
lionaire? That is lot of Il jnay, yea
know, says Agnes C. Liant Il. Out.sg.
AT four per cent. interest it means
an income Of three and third mil
lion dollars a month. I'm not talk
Ing OF capital that is a quarter water
and a quarter hot air and only half
hard cash or convertible realty. I'm
talking OF wealth that can be handled
with your hands and measured with
your eyes, wealth that doesn't re-
quire commissions of frenzied finance
TO be converted into terms Of Re
mint.
You acknowledge frankly you don't
really know of single Millionaire in
the history of the world. Much less
do you know of any group of capital
lists in the world whose combiHed
wealth would make 20 billions and
whose 20 billions pay a yearly divi-
dend of seven billions. A dividend
of $1,000, 100000 a year means an in
come of $5S0,0O0,OOO a month or 49,.
100000 day. Talk of the fate of
Midas Any capitalist or group of
capitalists who had to take care of
that much money day would have
genuine commissions in frenzied
finance.
Such capitalist, collectively, is the
United States farmer. Such divi-
dend, collectively does the soil of the
United States yearly hand out to the
farmer man. BY the last census the
capital invested In agriculture in the
United States was $20,000,000, 600, and
by the last report of the agricultural
department the products of the farm
for 1907 yielded grand total of ST.
000,000,000. Compare these figures to
the billion-dollar steel trust, over
which the whole world went daffy a
few years ago; and the magnitude Of
the greatness of the growing
greatness--of agricultural interests in
America becomes apparent. In fact,
1t would be hard to put your hand
on a single department. of industrial
life, or constructive work in the Uni
ted States, which would compare in
importance to the permanent value
and yearly yields of the farm. Then
