Wanted a Bite.

Oh, yes; 1t was raining-had been
all day. But they didn't mind that so
much; you see. they were fishermen.
All the same, they we're trudging
home, with weary steps and very
weary-looking faces.
Their baskets were empty and to
be candid, they were in very bad
temper.
AS they entered the little village a
large dog ran at one of the party. The
dog had ferocious look, and was
barking furiously. But the fisherman
did not take much alarm at the ami
NAL. He just kicked 1t away care
lessly.
Aren't you afraid he'll go for you? p
inquired another of the party, some
what anxiously.
The one who had kicked at the dog
looked at his companion in a sorrow
full manner.
Il only wish he would" he replied
I'D chance almost anything to be able
to 90 home and say I'd had a bite!"

Nothing More to Live For.

Without question, the Scots curler
Of whom Lord Lyveden tells in Frys
Magazine, placed the proper value on
his sport.
During a recent curling-match in
Switzerland, the skip of one of the

man, was so delighted with the accu-
rate shot of one of his team, that he
was heard to address him in the fol-.
lowing manner: Lie down and dee,

sought to monopolize either the domestic

nitted that only seven concerns In this
country turn out the standard steel rails
and that these companies had nothing TO

smaller companies which made light
rails
After stating positively that an inter
national association that parcels out ter
ritory and output Of rail supply to its
members does not exist, he acknowledged
when closely questioned that the inter
national steel institute, which WAS at
tended by Judge Il. il. Gary and himself
at Brussels last year. was a convention
of manufacturers. He admitted also that
n European association does regulate the
