EDITORIAL.

THE man who wrote a book on
how to become happy, and then
committed suicide because he coul Int
sell it, evidently didn't have faith
in what he taught. There are a
great many people in this world just
like him, insomuch, as they are al
ways banding out unsolicited advice;
telling others how to live and how
to manage their affairs. But strange
to say, thew overlook their own
faults, which are generally many
and odious, and they certainly don't
have any faith in their own teach
ings, for they rarely live up to them.
If they all would shuttle themselves
off this mortal coil as he has done,
this world would be a better place
TO live in.

they should be done by Monday.

not equipped with high boots he stripped
himself Of all apparel save his upper inner

with rod and reel.
Wadng off to some distance from Mr..

landed the first fish he awoke 10 the terri

bring his basket The only receptacle he
had with him was his little minnow bucket.
Here he was in midstream with a Won
drous FISH. He could not lay IL down He
would not throw it back into the water.
Yet as long as he held it. Topping in his
hands. he could not go on with the sport.
So what was he to do?
Well, he happened TO be a gentleman Of
wonderful resource. and taking up his
garment he tore the lower edge so that
there extended short ribbon Of fabric
which he tied through the gills Of the
trout. which dangled against his bare knee
And soon after he cast again he had an
