Shepherdstown, becoming enthused at
the big strings of bass that have been
caught in the Potomac recently, went on
a fishing expedition the other day. he
had never fished before, but he was got

fit of shining new tackle. BY some odd
chance he goi bite, aone-pounder from
the way the line strained. He did not
play the fish at all, but with rod held
straight ahead, he slowly and steadily
reeled him in. Presently the fish's head
appeared below the end OF the shaking
rod. Did he stop? No; he kepton reel
ing the fish in, and finally the fish's head
touched the tip. The excited fisherman
even tried to pull him through the ring
lust then the man turned and saw a stran-
ger standing on the bank. Witha Devil
dered look he said: "What shall donow2'
"The only thing you can do now" the
man said, sis to climb up the pole aftel

Neff was expounding the Gospel to his
Sunday morning congregation, messen-
ger rushed into the church with the an
nouncement that the parsons cow had
fallen into ciStern. The parson who is
a Methodist, and opposed to immersion

Academy street. by a wire fence. Up
to that time the youthful Ed was
like all other boys OF his age, a romp-
Ing, happy-go-lucky little chap with
nothing on his mind but his hair and
filled with all the unutterable soorn OF
the feminine sex customary In young
men OF thirteen and a half years.
It all came about rather suddenly.
Edward was being punished for some
petty offerse OF youth by confinement
to his bscf yard one day when he
CHANGED TO look over the fence straight
into the dark brown eyes OF the cutest
girl he had ever seen.
From that momen Edwards parents
observed n strange improvement. He
spent an unconscionable long time over
the morning additions. n exhibited a
feverish desire not to be late for
school. Alone in his o he was
seen to stand for fifteen minutes at a
time before his little looking glass
plastering down a recalcitrant cowlick
and furtlvely feeling his chin and
checks. on which, by aid OF a good
glass. one might have found micro
scoplc evidences OF an approaching hir-
suite adornment.
The secret was soon out. Edwards
former pals were the fret to blab It by
gathering In a group before his house
and shouting such youthful oppro-
bruins as:
"Oh you Ruth"
Hey you. stuck on the girls"

more or less amusement. No one
thought II was going to be the all con-
Stunning passion 1t Is. and 1t was not
until a few weeks ago that the first
inkling Of such a thing came to the
parents OF the young s~weethearts.
This was when Edward appeared at
school last month arrayed In his first
pair OF real trousers. With the don
ming OF a mans clothes. n. vestige of
the boy vanished. He was even seen
practising with his fathers shaving
brush and razor. for which he was
roundly spanked, and he bore himself
around the house in the manner Of a
true man Of the world.
Fearing that the love affair was taxi
ing on too serious "A tone. the parents

youngsters were told to see less of each
