Better Man Of the Two.

A pretty, fresh-looking young WON
an and a dreamy-eyed man got on a
street car Hardly were they seated
when look of intense despair spread
over the mans face.
What's the calamity now?" asked
his companion pleasantly, but with
trace of alarm in her voice.
my cuff links" he exclaimed
tragically. "One of them is broken
and an end is missing. l never can
keep my cuff together until we get
home. What shall / do?" with a wild
accent on the shall"
The woman laughed with relief and
answered cheerfully: "Oh, that's easy.
Give me what's left of your broken
sleeve link"
He obeyed. She leaned down, quick
ly twisted a button from her shoes,
hooked it on TO the damaged bit Of
iewelry and passed it, ready for imme-
date use, to the man with a triumph.

SW0RDFISH WEATHER VANE
Still Pointing to Wind, as 1t Long Has
Done, on Block Island
Barn.

There are more hotels at Block
Island now than when l was there
some years ago, and more people,"
said man just back, but l found at
least one familiar object there that
pleased my eye, that being an old
weather Vane
"On the road running to the south
from the islands center of population
to the remarkable clay bluffs that rise
to the height of a hundred feet or
more along the islands southern shore
there is barn above whose cupola
turns homemade wooden vans fash
ioned in the form of swordfish. The
hardy fishermen Of Block Island hunt
the swordfish, as well as every other
sort Of fish that finds a home In or
that traveTses these waters, and here
the swOrdfish weather vane seems
not only striking but strikingly apprO-
pirate.
The vane is about six feet in
length, which to be sure would be
small for a swordfish, but which is
big for a weather yane; and there it
was still, the only swordfsh Vane I
ever saw, and a pleasure it was TO
see it still there and still turning
easily and as ever pointing true to the
wind"

SCENTING THE BLUEFlSH
Valuable information from the Wise
Skipper for Party Out
Fishing.

"Ah!" said the skipper out with q
party bluehshing, turning his face to
windward as he spoke and at the same
time throwing the wheel over and
bringing the boat up and putting her
OF on the other tack, 81 smell theml"
"You smell them?" said a member
OF the party in the boat. do you mean
to tell me you can smell the fish,"
why, certainly" said the skipper,
as he got another little pull on the
sheet, cor you can smell where they
are, which amounts to the same
thing.
You see," the skipper continued,
''the bluefish is a voracious feeder
very voracious; he will eat about a
million of the little fishes that you
find around so plentiful in the water,
put there apparently for the bigger
fish to feed on, and when he has
gorged himself on about a million,
more or less, of these little fishes the
bluefish will settle down on the bot
tom and there disgorge them, and this
disgorged food, oily, floats up to the
surface, and that you can smell, and it
means bluefsh; and I can smell them
now, sure" And so the skipper got
an inch more of the sheet and peered
ahead and kept her a-going with every
inch drawing, just a-humming and
a-boiling, keen on the scent.
And did the party come up with the
bluefish and catch lots of them? A
boatload of fish? Keep hauling them
in till they all got tired of fishing?
We'll, that-as a once celebrated
English writer has SO aptly remarked
that is another stocy; scenting blue
fish and catching them being two
quite different things.

LiCKS FIRST LOVE AFFAIR
Future Millionaire Was RepuIsed by
Girls Father Because of His
Poverty.

There are many stories of the light
eT side of finance in which love affairs
find a place. Perhaps none of these
is more peculiar than the story of
James Lick, a name famous all over
the world through a monument to his
memory, the great Lick observatory,
in California In the financial world
the great city of San Francisco 10 a
monument to Iick's uck-he foresaw
the possibility of the great city of the
Pacific slope, bought the land on
which it now stands, and became
millionaire. Before that time the
name of Lick WAS great in the musical
world. Lick's pianOs-Out of which
he made the money which he invested
in land-were manufactured by him
But on the poetic side of life-a world
apart from such things as pianO-mak,
ing and mud-fats-the great Lick Mill
stands as a monument to Lick's love.
In early life James Lick sought the
hand OF a miller's daughter, but was
repelled by the father on the ground
that the young suitor did not possess
