The city is itself the greatest stum- bling block in the way of getting the unSightly poles off the streets in the center of the city. In many instances the only wires left on the remaining poles are those of the fire alarm tele- graph system The reason that the Fire Commissioners are allowing the /. wires to remain on the poles is that the Board of Apportionment never all lowed the department a sufficient sum of money for the purchase of under ground cable.

BIG STURGEON FIGHTS SAILORS.

Weight, 40 pounds. Length,
eleven feet. These are the dimen-
sions of the biggest sturgeon which
| has been caught in Puget Sound with
in the last six years. Living up to his
| reputation of never having let fish
get away from him, Captain Pete
Bae, in command of the Chlopeck's
new schooner Rover, brought the big
| fish into port.
1t was caught Thursday morning
in Deception Pass. Captain Bae had
| to fight for his reputation as fisher
man before he landed the sturgeon.
1t took five men to accomplish the
feat, and before the fish was on the
deck two of the five had taken an icy
| bath and third had been thrown to
| the floor so violently that he retired
| from the combat His place was
| taken by the cook of the Rover, who
delivered a telling blow on the fish's
nose with a rolling pin, after which
| the task was easy.
The sturgeon was found in the
Chlopeck Fish Company's trap when
the Rover's crew began to raise the
spill. His tail was lassoed and five
men tried to drag him on to fiat
| bottomed scow AS soon as the stur-
geon felt himself being pulled out
| of his element he thrashed the five
men from one end of the boat to the
other las though we were the tail
of kite in forty mile gale" was
the way Captain Bae expressed it.
AS far as known the only bigger
sturgeon caught in Puget Sound was
pulled in at the Lummi Island trap
six years ago. 1t weighed 450 pounds
and measured fourteen feet.-Seattle

No Cause For Worry.

Representative Cordell Hull, OF the
Fourth Tennessee District, likes to do
things to impress his constituents
with the idea that he is always trying
to benefit them. On one occasion he
persuaded a good roads enthusiast to
travel with him through his district
and lecture on good roads, of which
there are few in that part of the
State.
'You tell these people" said Hull,
that you'll show them how TO build
good roads so that they can get their
corn out to market"
At the first meeting place the good
roads expert said to the constituents:
''My friends, I'm going to show
you how to build such roads that you
can get your corn out "
We'll, stranger" drawled one OF
the Tennesseans. ''you needn't to
worry. Down here we raise lot OF
corn, but we make it inter whisky,
an then fight it out. Popular Mag

GRANTS NUTCRACKERS.

When Grant Turner heard the post
mans ring, he ran quickly to the
door. He had just lately learned to
read writing, and he enjoyed dis
tributing the mail that came each
morning. This particular morning
his face wore broad smile as he held
up a letter. "There was only this
one, and it is for me. 1 do wonder
who wrote it. It's from Uncle Philip"
he said, as he looked at the name.
Philip Turner had just returned
from a visit to Grants home, and
Grant felt very proud to have the
first letter from him. As he read it
slowly, the smile left his face, and
puzzled look took its place. Listen,
mother" he requested, then he read:
II noticed that you had such nice
hickory and walnut trees in your lot,
and I know you must have great
many nuts, so have sent you a pair
of nutcrackers. I took special care
in choosing them, and they are the

at is nice of your uncle to send
you a present" remarked Mrs.
Turner, as Grant finished
Yes" said Grant, rather doubt
fully, "but, mother, 1 can't use nut
the fall. I expect they will be silver,
but 1 can't see why he sent pair.
1t is nice of Uncle Philip, but he
hasn't any boys of his own, and I
guess he don't know very we'll what
to buy for one. l could think of lots
of things 1 woald rather have than
nutcrackers He laid the letter on
the table and went out to play.
The next morning Grant was dis
appointed when no package came for
him in the mail. 1t was about noon
when the expressman delivered box
at the Turner's home. The card nailed
to the lid said, "a pair of nutcrackers
for Grant Turner from Uncle Philip"
'It doesn't take such big box to
send a pair of nutcrackers! ex-
claimed Grant Then he gave low
whistle as his father lifted the lid.
Wny, 1t is TWO SQulFFelS! anu Ills
face was full of wonder and amaze
ment.
But they are a pair of nutcrack-
ers, aren't they?" questioned his ia
ther, smiling.
Il guess your uncle did know what
to buy for a boy, after all, didn't he?"
asked Mrs. Turner.
Il should say he did; I would
rather have this pair of nutcrackers
than anything Uncle Philip could
have sent me-" declared Grant. "And
1 will write, and tell him So" he
added.-Sarah N. McCreery, in Sun

BOSton's First RuiJdiDo TaN

Two hundred and twenty-six years
ago a house was burned in Boston,
which led to the PRONUNCIATION of the
first building law. This fact devel-
oped at legislative hearing this
week, and when told by Assistant So
licitor Chill aroused great interest.
The order passed on March 16, 1881,
was as follows:
about noon the chimney of Mr.
Thomas Sharps' house in Boston took
fire. The wind drove the fire to Mr..
Colburn's house and burned that
down also. For the prevention
whereof in our new town indended
this somer to bee builded we have Or
dered that noe man there Shall build
his chimney with wood nor cover his
house with thach, which was readily
assented unto. Boston Herald.

HOME AGAIN GAME.

AS many as fifty little folks may
play this game. All but one of the
players stand in row. The first per-
son calls one, the second two and so
on until all have numbered them
selves. If it is found that there are
twenty players, ten of the number re-
main in the line, but the other play
ers, starting with number eleven,
move up so as each stands by the side
of one of the players in the first line.
If fifty children are playing, the first
half remain in line and the last half
beginning with number twenty-six,
move up beside the first twenty-five
players.
When side by side each couple
starts off together to walk in any di-
rection, each player trying to walk
faster than his partner. When one is
in the lead he then chooses the path
until he is tagged by his partner, who
then takes the lead The leader may
walk anywhere he pleases, but no
one may start home" again-that is,
to the spot from which he started
until the guard" blows whistle.
Those who are leaders when home
is reached win the game.-Washing

THE STORY OF IKEY.

A few months ago I bought lit
tie rabbit from a boy. l selected him
from litter of twenty, and he looked
more like a little pig than rabbit
his fur being entirely black except
for white ring around his nose
If he wasn't beauty, he soon con.
vinced us that he was clever, intelli'
gent, dear little creature. We named
him Ikey, because he had such ar
alert way with him. He had such
cute tricks, even when he was vera
tiny. One was to run from one per.
son to another and nose into ever.
pocket to see if he could find some
delicate bit. His sense of smell was
so acute he could instantly detec;
who had his supply.
He was very inquisitive~ rabbit
and so occasionally got himself into
trouble. One day he gave me bad
fright. Hearing a peculiar noise in
the parlor, l ran in there and found
key suspended in the air and kicking
violently. He had pushed his long
face through the knotted fringe and
hung himself. There was no time
to be lost in untying the knot, so
seized a knife and cut the fringe anG
freed Ikey. When he had painted q
bit he was ready for some fresh mis-
chief-Henry Loughman, in the New

their leave. Colonel Curtis fingered
to the last, talking aside with his

Reggie was in fume of impatience
till he also was gone. Then, as the
door closed upon him, he put his
arm around his mother and said,
| "Well, Mamma, 1 have done the
deed!''
ooh! Reggie! you don't mean it?"
And Janet and Tola came up
breathlessly.

Mr.. Denstone, plaintively. 1.-TWO

think so, indeed"
II hope you will be happy, Reggie,
darling whispered Tola, caressingly.
"I am sure she is kind and good"
II think it is an excellent thing"
said Janet, in tone so like Frederick
Curtis that Reggie could not help
laughing.
"Yes, my dear" he said, looking
complacently at his handsome sister,
"we may both be said to have done
well for ourselves"
Tola stole away to bed. The way
the two beauties of the family spoke
Jared upon her, and she wanted Ar

Janet came to her room presently
and sat down by her bed. "Tola,
darling" she said, 81 hope you won't
mind my saying it, know you never
do mind when one says things; but
do you know, dear Frederick thought
it did not look quite we'll for you to

But Tola would not quite stand
that. "Tell him to mind his own af-
fairs" she said, gently.
"Tola, you don't mean it," cried
Janet, terribly scandalized.
Il am asleep. Don't talk or you
will waken me-" murmured Tola,
from under the bed clothes, and
Janet, to her indignant remon-
strances, could get no further answer.
The next day, according to his
promise, Mr.. Irvine sent a telegram
to Goucy, and in the course of some
hours received an answer: "The
English gentleman left Goucy three
weeks ago, and his letters are lying
here unclaimed.
Mr.. Irvine was now seriously
alarmed. He sent another telegram,
asking whether Monsieur Rigaud of
Mon Repos was at home or not, and
prepaid the answer. That evening
the answer came: monsieur Rigaud,
three weeks ago, was murdered and
robbed at Mon Repos. No one in
the house to answer letters"
The mystery seemed to increase.
Taking the two kilograms in his
hand, Mr.. Irvine went over to Den
stone Court and showed them to
