CHAMPION HARD LUCK YARN
Tout Who Was Following Ponies Has
Tough Experience With
Stinay Horseman.

In the days when the race tracks
were doing a big business the So
called race track touts were always,
in evidence at every meeting and the
hard luck stories these fellows could
tell were never excelled by any other
single class of individuals. One of
the best of these stories concerns a
tout who was following the ponies
and who reached an eastern city
when a race meeting was about to
open. The tout was broke and, ac-
costing rather stingy horseman of
his acquaintance, told him of his
predicament. "Why, I haven't had
a thing to eat in two days." said the
tout. 'Well% said the horseman,
"step in here to this restaurant and
I'll buy you something" With Wis
ions of big meal the poor tout fol-
lowed the stingy horseman into the
restaurant. "Give this party a glass
of milk and a piece of custard pie"
said the horseman to one of the
walters. "Gee," said the tout, 81
thought I was going to get some
meat" "Change that order from
custard pie to mince pie" said the
horseman as he left dime on the
counter and went out.

LIGHT AS BARRIER TO EELs.

The Danish government has begun
an interesting effort to aid the fish
ermen of the Baltic by preventing
the migration Of eels from that sea
into the ocean. The means employed
is a "barrier of light" formed by
placing fifty electric lamps along a
submerged cable between the island
of Fano and the coast of Funen.
The effectiveness Of such a barrier
depends upon the fact that the eels
migrate only during the dark hours,
Accordingly, as soon as darkness be-
gins, in the season of migration, the
lamps are illuminated, and thus a
wall of light is interposed from
which the cells recoil. A similar prin-
ciple is said to have been employed
from time immemorfal by fishermen
on certain parts of the coast of Italy.

drew Shearer, a solicitor of Montreal,
at the Raleigh. "Such thing as
lynching was never known in Can
ada, though, I suppose, that occasions
ally crimes are committed that
arouse the people to an intense state
of horror and indignation.
'Such is the respect for the law,
however, instilled in the people

that no one would think of raising
a hand against an officer of the law.
I have seen crowds around a prisoner
guilty of committing murder or 9TH

the people, but there never is an at
