dumping of sawdust in dry creek
near the old Kidder & Agee mill site
on Kidder ridge. Abe had never seen
or heard of such thing as fish (out-
side of canned salmon) in that locality
but as the sawdust was apt to drift
into Maggie creek and strangle the
fish in that stream, complaint was
sent in and the game warden acted ac-
cordingly. Dead critters, manure and
all kinds of filth is being dumped into
the South Fork at Stites-and here,

MODEL FOOD MARKETS
 ANNIVERSARY SALE
The Market That Has Made Good in Bridgeport Because its Methods Have Been Honorable and its Watchword, Progress.

The seventh birthday of one of the foremost provision houses of the city, the Model Food Market occurs on Saturday, March 20, and in it's com
 memoratfon there will be inaugurated a sale of gigantic proportions. Every department of this modern market will contribute to one of the most emphatic 1n many years, offering to the econoTn- 1ca1 housewives the opportunity to store up provisions at true money saw ing prices. The growth of this store since its inception in Bridgeport seven years ago has been marked, still when the business methods employed are considered-high quality always at the lowest prices-the progress is not to be wondered at. Louis Isenberg, the proprietor of the Model Food Market, in the seven years of his business ca reer in this city has undoubtedly giv- en to Bridgeport one of it's very best markets and in this time, too, he has caused much money saving for house. keepers in the purchase of their provis- ions for the home. The market is conveniently arranged for patrons, It fish, meat, butter, eggs and cheese, ba- kcry, tea and coffee, grocery, fruit and
 vegetable, family liquors, etc. Every thing sin edibles may be procured from these various departments, each being supervised by someone capable in h s respective line. Patrons enjoy the privilege of free ''S. & H." trading stamps. quick free delivery of goods and always courteous trea tment. No fiousekeeper desirous of doing full jus tfce to herself should fail to read the
 advertisement concerning the 7th an nfversary sale which appears in this issue-then attend the sale and save.

The First Fiction.

The "Tale of Two Brothers" written 8,20O years ago by the Theban scribe, Ennana, librarian of the palace to King Merenptah, the supposed Pha- raoh of the Exodus, is the oldest work of fiction extant. The tale was writ ten apparently for the entertainment of the crown prince, who subsequently reigned as Seti II. His name appears in two places on the manuscript-prob- ably the only surviving autograph sig
 natures of an Egyptian king. This piece of antique fiction, written on nineteen sheets of papyrus in a bold hieratic hand, was purchased in Italy by Mime. dOrbiney, who sold it in 1857 to the authorities of the British museum, where 1t is now known as the D'Orbiney papyrus. Other speci- mems of ancient Egyptian fiction have since come to light which appear to prove that the Nile valley was not only the birthplace of the arts and sciences, but was also the cradle of romance.

Curious Welsh Superstition.

Small glasslike, irregular circlets of some crystallized mineral are occasion ally found in the mountains of Wales, and concerning these the Welsh people have some curious superstitions. Some believe that. they are formed in the body of a snake as soon as he reaches the age of 100 years, while others de clare that they gre formed "of froth and venom" when two large male snakes meet. Camden, the great Eng hsh historian and antiquarian, says: 'It is usual for snakes to approach on St. Johns eve and by joining heads to- gether and hissing to form a kind. of bubble, which passes through the snake and immediately hardens till it resem- bles 8 glass ring.

Japan's Pipe Bell.

There is a bell in Tokyo. Japan, which is made from tobacco pipes. So says the legend inscribed around the outside in four languages, English, French, German and Japanese.
 The English version runs as follows:
 This bell, cast in the city of Tokyo Japan, Dec. 10, 1892, by Tsuda Sen, is made from the metal of tobacco pipes of more than a thousand men, once slaves, now free men,"
 The story is that in 1892 a woman missionary from America waged war on tobacco smoking and persuaded over a thousand men to forswear the habit. They therefore had no further use for their metal pipes, which were melted down and cast in the form of a bell. The metal resembles bronze, and the bell has a pleasant musical ring.

A Joke That Failed twice.

Miss Adelbert had just returned from a vacation spent at a tiny village on the Maine coast. In accounting her experiences she talked somewhat for the benefit of cousin, a quiet person, who was visiting her city relatives for the first time in many years.
 There was just one store in the place." snid Miss Adelbert, "and they kept everything is, everything they had to keep. One day I went in to buy some soap, and just on a ven ture I asked the clerk if they had Browning. He s.ared at me second then went off and looked under the counters and on the shelves. Presently he came back and said: No, miss, we ain't got none. We got backing. an we got bluing, an we got whiting, but we ain't got bit c' browning in the store.'"
 Miss Adelbert had to make several protests to assure her audience that this really happened. Finally the cous- in asked gravely, But, Cousin Bert, why didn't you say varnish in the first place ?"--Youth's Companion.
