The harbor was crowded with fish
ing boats, and fresh arrivals were com
ing in every few minutes. Until the
entrance was reached they came scud
ding along with every appearance o
haste, hut then their mainsails came
tumbling down to the deck, and the
boats with sufficient way left on then
moved easily over the still water, ant
felt their way to berth. Small boat:
conveyed the fish to the quay, where
embryo fishermen were appraising the
catch with a wisdom beyond theil
years.
In the small market, a short, red
faced man with scrubby beard
walked in a disparaging fashion from
heap to heap, using favorite brial
in lieu of a hammer to knock dowr
such fish as found bidders. The lat
ter were few and wary, and turning &
deaf ear to eloquence expressed opin
ions distasteful to an auctioneer's cal
in crude English.
That's Joe Gubbs' CATCH" he bawled
"S'elp me, I'd know that mans lucl
anywhere"
He turned the fish over scornfully
with his foot, and, with severe glance
at the hapless Gubbs, moved away tc
something more salable.
Where dye get 'em from, Gubbs?'
inquired an aggravating voice. 1--WE
never get such things in our nets. I've
never seen some O. them things
afore'
There's a lot you amt seen, BOZ
Tarbut," said Gubbs, turning upon him
land what you do see don't do you
much good"
He jumped back suddenly as the
fist of the sensitive Tarbut shot sud
denly out, and treading on small
fish whirled round wildly with his
hands in the air in the effort to re-
tain his balance, and sat down heavily
The bystanders instantly separated
into two groups, and two or three
anxious sympathizers helped the fallen
man to his feet, and indicated those
parts of Tarbut's frame which in their
opinion were least adapted to offer re.
sistance to his fist.
Stand up" said Gubbs, sternly, as
he shook himself free from these
friends.
Il am a-standin' up!" said Tarbut
breathing hard.
The two combatants approached
each other stealthily, and, maneuver
ing round the heaps of fish, struck
safely at each other over these con
venient barriers.
Get 'em in the road" said an ex-
cited voice, they can't 'urt each other
here"
A dozen kindly hands helped them
there, and finding too much strategy
for sport in large ring, at the bidding
of the resourceful individual who had
last spoken, gradually made it smaller

CAUGHT on the Rebound.

The old man was lecturing his more
or less hayward son on the evils of
getting up late in the morning.
Remember" he said, that 1t was
the early bird that caught the worm"
"But how about the worm, dad"
queried the youth, who thought he had
his sire up in the air. where did his
reward for getting up early come in?"
81 am informed" replied the old
man, gravely, that the worm was on
his way hoIne-hadn't been in bed at
ALL"
And there being nothing more to
say, the young man said nothing.

Minneapolis.--M the word lies with
Supervising Architect James Knox
Taylor, there will be no work done on
the Minneapolis post-office until che
spring of 1910. Mr. Taylor stated that
1t would probably be impossible to
complete the plans for the Minneapolis
Office before next fall, and that work
on clearing the site and starting con-
struction would not be likely to begin
before year from this spring. The
building would be completed, he said,
In a year or a year and a half.

Tin Carried in Body Ten Years

Tin Carried in Body Ten Years.
Fairmont, Minn.-Chris Thompson's
body has been yielding up all sorts of
things, including other peoples bones.
The last operation was on one Of his
legs. and several pieces of tin were
taken out from where they had been
imbedded in the flesh more than ten
years. 1t was near Lakefield, where
two men were blasting stone out of
a well, that he was injured, as a re-
suit Of premature explosion of four
pounds Of dynamite. The two work
men were killed, one of them being
blown literally to bits. The mangled
body of the other man was hurled
against Thompson, who was a rod or
two away. The fact that this man was
directly between him and the explos-
ion saved his life, but his flesh was
pierced by human bones, tin, metal,
sand and gravel. At different times
since the accident articles have been
removed from his flesh. One of the
largest was a piece Of the handle of
q jacknife, around which was
wrapped piece of overall cloth. It
is supposed that the metal taken out
was from the knife in the pocket of
the man who was handling the dyna-
mite when it exploded.
