RECEPTION FOR sEHRMAN.

The return of Mayor Behrman, to-
gether with the other gentlemen asso-
ciated with him, after their long weeks
of hard work in Washington in behalf
of New Orleans and the Panama Canal
Exposition, will not be the event of
such noisy rejoicing as it might have
been if Congress had seen fit to decide
in favor of this city; but, nevertheless,
a number of citizens of Algiers are OF
the opinion that some acknowledg-
ment should be made of the efforts of
our representatives.
It is the intention of a number OF
Mr.. Behrman's friends to meet him on
his arrival in New Orleans and give
him the glad hand of welcome and
assure him that, while the people OF
his own town share his disappoint-
ment in the action of Congress, they
have the highest regard for him and
consider that he has done everything
which was possible for any one man
to do. and also to affirm that they are
ready to stand by him and give loyal
support to any further efforts he may
make in pursuance of the much-to-be
desired end.
The demonstration may possibly
take the form of a public reception Of
the Mayor, who will be escorted tt
his home by a large number of hi:
friends and there will be presented tt
him an engrossed address setting
forth the attitude of the people toward

The Fishman' S
Story
By HARRY VAN AMBERG
Copyright. 1870, by American Press
Association.

Pm in fish myself, and once in
awhile / find it necessary to the bust
ness to go where the fish l sell are
caught
One autumn went to a village
on the coast where most everybody
was either a fisherman or belonged to
a fisherman's family. / felt at home
among them. for that was the way
started-fshing. Although it was late
in the autumn. / used to go out with
the men whenever the weather admit
ted their going themselves.
There was a pair Of sweethearts,
Jim Parker and Susie Dale. l used to
like to watch them when they were
together. They seemed to forget that
there was any one else in the town.
But that's the case with most lovers.
One day was down at the pier when
Jim was bringing his boat to shore
he was fisherman like the rest-with
a load Of fish. He was at the tiller
when he caught sight Of Susie stand
ing on the pier. and 1t was refreshing
to see the smile that lit up his manly
face.
I turned for a glance at Susie,
and she. too. wore a very happy ex-
preston. Then for the first time no.
ticed a young man standing near me
looking at Jim. / never saw such
malignant expression on a mans face
in my life.
Wondering what was the matter be
tween them, | made inquiries and
learned that the fellow was Jack Hug
gins, who had kept company with SUI
sic before she became engaged to Jim.
Indeed. Susie cast off from Higgins
before she hooked on to Parker Ev'
erybody said it was good move for
Susie, since Jack Higgins was
mighty poor stick. Indeed, 1t was salc
he'd had trouble with the law.
One day was on the beach looking
at the waves roll in and break on the
beach. 1t was ugly outside-just the
sort Of day that a person would rather
look at the waves from the shore thar
be rolling on them. Susie came dow
and looked out on the waters anxious
ly.
She didn't need to tell me that he
lover was out there and she was wor
ried about him. Presently boat cam
rolling around a point about two mile
ont. and il was evident that something
was the matter There was nothing u
but the jib, and the boat was low Il
the water. Every time she went int
the trough of the sea it seemed as
she would never come up again.
I heard Susie give cry or alarm
and, going to her, though had no aC
ouaintance with her, asked her abou
the boat. She told me hurrledl
through tears that It was Parker
boat. was an old hulk not calculate
70 stand such weather. and 1t wa
plain from the way it dragged that
was sinking.
Casting a glance at the pier, l sa'
a sloop rugged fishing smack anchore
within the breakwater. and Jim HUI
gins was on her, doing some sort
fixing.
"In take that boat" I said to Susi
, "and go out and help him."

take that. Isn't there another"

The Narrow Skirt.

It is said that garment Is never
fashionable to a woman when it be-
comes too fashionable. From this ar
gument is predicted the downfall of
the narrow skirt. 1t is even limited
that this is the psychological moment
for the appearance again of the GRIN
oiine.
But even If this disaster does not
descend upon fashionable women it is
argued that a reaction in favor of a
more capacious skirt is inevitable.
All these agitators forget the fact that
woman is not always sWayed by
whims, and the comfort and hygiene of
the moderately narrow skirt is too
pronounced to be quickly discarded by
even the most tickle.
