iron pan usually made IL feet long
and about two and one-half feet wide
with depth of three inches. It should
be divided by cross partitions into
about five compartments.
This pan should be mounted on
two fiat runners about five feet long

pan, To the two by four on the back
Of the pan upright pieces two feet

to seriously affect the grasshoppers

enemy appears in large numbers such

they are bound to increase unless the

literary world as a humorist.
Doctor Billiard, after finishing his
college course at Amherst, then at
the Andover Theological seminary, Of
hciated for short period as pastor Of
a charge at Whyland, Mass. In his
Doyhood he had been abroad with his
lather, who, as delegate, had attend
ed the first peace conference at Frank
ford-on-the-Main. Probably realizing
that the trip to the Holy Land, where
ne could personally look at the coun-
try and ancient evidences of Bible his
tory would further equip him for a
successful ministerial career, he re-
signed his charge and joined the
Quaker City excursion to the Holy
Land
In mentioning the circumstances
under which he joined the excursion
of the "Innocents" abroad, Twain says,
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was to &C.
company the expedition, but urgent du.
ties obligated him to give up the idea.
There were other passengers who
could have been spared better, and
would have been spared more willing.
ly. Lieutenant General Sherman was
to have been of the party also, but
the Indian war compelled his presence
on the plains. A popular actress had
entered her name on the ships books,
but something interfered and she
could not go. The Drummer Boy Of
the Potomac deserted and 10 we had
never celebrity left"
Rev. Mr.. Billiard was then twenty
seven years Of age and unmarried. Ha
and Twain were not far from tho
same age, and neither had accom-.
plished anything notable in their pro
fessions. 1t is evident that these two
among the large party of "1nnocents"
aboard the Quaker City became genial
companions very early in the voyage
That Twain took fancy to the young
minister Is evident Almost at the be
ginning of the recorded incidents oil
the voyage Twain metnions "the doc
tor" as participating in some humor
GUS conversation. Throughout the
large volume "the doctor" appears
often to assist in the plot and those
who afterwards knew the modest, re
firing minister personally acquit theil
sedate friend of the levity and ludi
,crous pranks charged to him b.
Twain.
Within a short time after his return
from abroad Doctor Billiard accepted
the pastorate at St. Joseph.

Fish To Be Protected.

The following article from the Dan
vile Advocate would indicate that
there is a move on foot to stop the in
discriminate taking of fish from Dix
River in every imaginable way. This
will indeed be commendable under
taking and one which Garrard county
fishermen will heartily endorse and
render assistance.
''There are still many people left in
these parts who can remember the
time when they could seine bucket of
minnows and HE themselves to either
Dix river or the Hanging Fork and in
dulge in days sport that was sport;
when, with very little exertion, they
could string dozen smallmouth black
bass weighing from two to four or five
pounds each in less time than it takes
now to get one "nibble," and this
state of case is attributable to the fact
that this was before the day of the
dynamiter. And if the means are
found-which they will be-of eliminat-
ing these gentry from the sphere of
action for year or two then these
streams, which were made ideal by
nature, will again TEEN with game fish
and the true disciples of old Sir Izaak
Walton can again rise up and call him
blessed.

Capt. Thomas Helm Again On Duty.

Capt. Thomas Helm of Danville who
was recently painfully injured by be-
ing caught between two cars in the Q
& C yards at that place, is again able
to be on duty as an officer for the rail-
road. On last Sunday he arrested two
men, one white one colored, on a Gin
cinnati excursion train and turned them
over to officers at Lexington, charging
them with abreach Of the peace. The
alleged offense took place in Scott
county and they will be taken to
Georgetown for trial.
This is the very kind of work that
has long been needed on Sunday ex-
cursion trains, and few men with the
nerve and determination of Thomas
Helm will soon break up the habit of a
lot of rowdies riding these trains and
making life miserable for every peace
able citizen who chances to be aboard.
