Mr.. Prlnkle, In the fashion OF biz
kind, led of with story that was in

humor. II was about a spaniel OF sl
Intelligent a sort that when his mas
ter's house caught fire. he rushed
into the smoke and names, to pres
emily emerge F'orched and with his
tail blazing like torch But In his
mouth he bore the iireinsurance pol
icy, wrapped In a We towel.
Al the last word, Dud broke into a
shout OF laughter that cracked sud
denly, adding TO its total effect The
audience. partly because OF the anec
dote and partly on account OF the
queerness OF the laugh, expressed
itself hlarlously. even uproarlously
applauding meanwhile And Mr.
Prlnkle was content Dud choked
back sob, and with a big sigh
waited for his next cue.
The cue developed in minute OF
so, but Dud, In spIte OF himself
missed IT, There came before him
the sight OF the dying Snoop, with his
queer. ugly body. his nondescript legs
his square muzzle with its ridiculous
mustaches OF bristly white hair, and
his big brown, loving eyes, with a
silent soul behind them
AS | was saying" resumed Mr.
Prinkle, after the litter Of laughter
had fickered for a moment or two
then snuiied Itself out "one of the
distinguishing features OF ciylizs ion
as opposed to sayagery. is that of the
treatment OF that truest of our dumb
friends-the cog"
Dud came to himself with start
He felt rather than understood that
he he'd for once failed in doing his
duty. II seemed to him that the lee
turer's voice had a "wake.up-there'
note in II OF an unmistakabe kind
A few moments later Dud's EN-
ployer spoke OF the Indian dog teasts

In fact the Indians give a litera

This. OF course, called for a laugh
and Dud was there with one which
had the strength of misery in It, But
even as It was issuing from his lungs
and lips. II came into collision with

Dealers Report Unusually Large
Catches at River Points.

According to the dealers more shad are
being caught in the Potomac this year
than in a number of years past. and while
the catch Of herring is below the average,
the fishermen say that herring have not
yet come into the river in large schools.
and big catches of the fish are looked
for in the latter part of next week or
early in May.
At Chapman's fishing shore haul
seine about mile and half long is be-
ing fished seven times in twenty-four
hours. and on each haul the shad caught
are in excess of previous years. Several
hundred shad are being caught eAch day
at the Fairy Landing shore and the drift
and trap net fishermen are also making
good catches and are receiving fairly
good prices
There is a good supply Of herring re-
ceived here, but the bulk of the supply is
from the nets at the mouth Of the river
and in Chesapeake bay in the vicinity Of
the Great Wicomico diver. Herring are
selling wholesale at from $1,000 to $1,000
a thousand and roe shad are bringing
25 to 80 cents each and bucks from Is to
20 cents each. with good demand.
