Bitterness in an Epitaph.-Mason
and Dixon's line Is fast becoming q
memory but here and there are to be
found evidences Of the once bitter ma
tired which prevailed in the days of
the Civil war.
George K. Kerdolff, who before en-
tering the insurance business spent
much time in the south, tells this story
of an epitaph rudely carved on a block
of sandstone yet to be seen in a Louis
lana parish:
When the slogan Of the south was
ION to Washington" and the youth oil
the Confederacy, had shouldered their
muskets for the front, leaving only the
older folks and women and children
at home, a band of Union soldiers came
into Louisiana Sighting the enemy,
the aged men, assisted by the women,
gathered together their scant supply OIL
firearms and planned resistance. AS
the Federal forces came up narrow
lane the southerners opened fire with
such deadly effect that the invaders
retreated, leaving one Of their number
dead upon the field of battle.
The victors buried the fallen foe and
over his grave, to this day, one may
read the roughly chiseled epitah:
"The Yankee bands with bloody hands
came southwark to divide our lands.
This lonely and deserted spot is all this
derned old Yankee got."-Kansas City
Journal.

His Lamb Was There.-Last month

spending their honeymoon in quiet
summer resort.

and ordered his dinner, which includ-
ed roast lamb. Then he began to talk
busir ss.
He vas so earnest about 1t that he
didn't notice when the waiter re-
moved mis- meat dishes and placed
dessert before him. Then suddenly he
looked down at his plate and exclaim-
ed:

PICKEREL STEALS ROD
Takes Hotel Mans Line and Waits
Late to be CAUGHT.


Late to be Caught.
A hotel manager just back from a
fishing trip at Long lake, in the Adiron-
dacks, tells story Of a pickerel that
stole his line and rod, carried them in
to deep water and there hung around
for three-quarters Of an hour to give
him another chance. The manager
says he can produce witnesses If ne

Sun.
"Of course the lake Is full Of pick
erel," he prefaced, but my luck had
been poor until one day New York

to a place where I could get a good
bite. He rowed for two hours. I was
seated in the stern with about $50
feet Of line trailing. 1t became mo-
notonous, so stuck the rod behind me
while I took out my pipe.
II had just struck a match when
suddenly my rod was jerked out of
the boat. The heavy reel took it to
the bottom, and I could see It resting
in four feet Of water. We were near
Judge Green's camp, and as neither
of US had any fancy for going over
board we decided to get a man to re-
cover the rod. We didn't get man
but found a hoe. Then returning to
the spot where the rod had gone over
board. we found it had disappeared.
My companion was for giving up
the search, but was positive that rod
was somewhere in the neighborhood.
Knowing the instinct of a fish to make
for deep water when struck directed
my companion to row straight out
from shore.
I'VE found the rod lying at the bot
tom in eight feet Of water. The hoe
handle was just long enough with the
aid of my arms to get it under the rod,
which raised to the surface. The
reel was stuck and began to pull the
line in hand over hand.
Suddenly felt jerk. The thiev-
ing pickerel was still on the end.

High-class catchers seem to be al

ball clubs. True, there have been a
few pennant winners, notably De-
troit, who could not boast backstops
whose work bordered on greatness,
but a vast majority of them were very
strong behind the bat.
This was true of the old Detroit
champions of 1887 with Charley Ben
nett behind the bat. Hughie Jen-
