STA site fisherman, and nothing stops
him when he gets a chance to enjoy his
favorite sport. On one of the rainy
days of last week Taylor packed up his
rod and basket and hied himself -
| Swinefield Bridge, where he spent the
entire day In fishing.
Late in the afternoon. wet to the
in telling the story. From where /
was fishing to the crossroads where
the Erie railroad stops vas about 500
yards. Instead of unjointing my pole

along the road to the tracks, intending
to pack it up when l got Under cover.
Just as / reached the track a wagon
with four men in 1t came along. One
spied my fish pole n called to the
rest, Look at the - fool trying -
catch fish on a railroad track
II Immediately unjointed the pole
and packed it up" say Taylor In fin
ishing the yarn.
Some friends of Colonel Austen Col
gate, who will probably be the Repub-
lican candidate for the State Senate in
Essex county this fall. were boasting
of what success they had on a recent

CINE, silently, not showing any sign Oh
power, apparently l~ifeless. Up cams
the big steam locomotive to TAX up its
burden. Pulling, snorting, with the en-
gineer's grizzled head looming from
the cab window, the iron monster
seemed for all the world like a thinS
of life.
Its funny, but there IS something
about the steam locomotive that APP

lacking in the electric engine. / cam.

ways did like to take a look at the en-
CINE and the engineer that AID hauled
me when | reached the end of a jour
ney. But when one looks at an electric

she was, and he answered she Is, i .
far as l know the yice-chancellor

chambers. The result was that the
witness, without a word having been
said, became docile and his fiippancy

Cephus S. Pope is vice-president of
the Joseph M. Byrne Company, brokers
and steamship agents. on Broad street
and John Taylor Is employed by the
same firm. Recently a modest little
woman entered the Office soliciting aic
for a charity and first approached Mr..
Taylor.
"Oh, you will have to see the Pope
about that" remarked Mr.. Taylor
slyly. pointing to the vice-president's
desk.
The modest little woman expressed
some surprise at the remark, but
stepped bravely up to the desk. Hei
smiles as she went away showed that
there had been a substantial addition
to her subscription list.
