If the joke is on the fishermen instead
of the trout so much the better. The
object of the law is to protect the fish ;
not to make it easy for fishermen to
catch them.

The MeddLer
~If the coat fits y0a, PIT ii on.

\ Brattleboro man interested IN having
just the right man engaged to fill the va
cancy in the pastorate of the First Bap-
fist church visited a Massachusetts city
on recent Sunday with a view to hearing
a minister preach and then reporting to
his church as to the advisabiHty of making
an effort to secure him as its minister,
His time was limited and in his hurry he
failed to make as careful an inquiry as to
the location of the church as he other
wise would have made. He sat through
the service, paid strict attention, and
heard some good music and a good ser
mon, but there was one great disappoint
ment-by mistake he had gotten into q
Congregational church. He could have
heard good sermon in any of the Brat
tleboro churches and have saved the ex
pense Of the trip. That he Is not talking
much about his little excursion Is not tt
| be wondered at.

\ man told The Meddler an interesting
tale the other day, and one that Is unusu-
al if true. And The AIeddler believes it
IS because he knows the man. He started
home late, early rather, as 1t was toward
daybreak, and being tired took less notice
than usual of his surroundings when he
reached the interior of the building where
he has apartments. Carelessly throwing
down his coat in what he thought was
his bedroom, he was about to still further
divest himself of clothing when he decided
to turn on the electric light The fixture
did not operate and the man concluded
| that his wife was trying to play some joke
on him. Shortly afterward he discovered
that he was in a room one floor below his
/ own and without further delay he climbed
another flight of stairs. 1t was not until
morning that he learned that the room
down stairs had been occupied by some
/ chorus girls. That IS what makes the
story unusual.

CHRISTEN HORSE IN WINE
Granddaughter of Dan Patch In Cere-
mony-Event Takes Place In
Saloon,

New Orleans.-There is nothing I'M
usual about christening a boat with
wine, but when they name horse
that way, it is something to write
about. The christening took place in
the bar Of the Little Gem saloon. The
horse was Miss Louise, three-year-
old, granddaughter of the incompara-
BILE Dan Patch. She is owned by W. J.
Breithoff Of South Broad street. Mr..
Breithoff's ten-year-old son stood on a
table in the bar and poured wine over
the little mares head.
Il christen thee Miss Louise" he
said. So that is her name.
Miss Louise has a weakness for the
grape and she caught little of the
wine as it trickled down past the
white star in her forehead The mare
is a daughter of Ed Patch, out OF
Charcoal Queen, and the granddaugh-
ter Of the worlds most famous trot-
ter.
Nearly four years ago." said Brett
hotf, Il bought Charcoal Queen for
S23. She was in WORKOUT condition.
l had just $24 in my pocket when I
bought her, and kept the one dollar SO
that l wouldn't be completely broke.

its last service is being held, and
nenceforth, till better times, mayhap,
come along, the church body will con-
duct it's ministrations in an apartment
ON the ground floor Of Newton's old
dwelling (part of the freehold), once
in all probability the philosophers din
ing room!
Towards the close of 1897 Newton
occupied house In Jermyn street,
where he remained 13 years. After
short stay in Chelsea he removed, in
September, 1710, to the house in st.
Martins street, Leicester Fields. 1t
stands on the east side as you enter
from Leicester square, and at the cor
ner of Longs court. Newton, who had
been elected president Of the Royal So
ciety in 1903, and knighted by Queen
Anne in 1905, was, at the date of his
tendency, at the zenith of his fame. In
ITO he had, in conjunction with Sir
Christopher Wren, acquired a new
home for the Royal society in Crane
court, Fleet street. Doubtless, in
choosing his own abode he was mind
posed by the weekly meetings of the
society. He would not have far to go
from Leicester fields to Crane court.
In st. Martins street Newton lived
in very handsome style, and kept his
carriage, with an establishment Of
three male and three female servants.
He built a small observatory on the
roof of his house, distinctive feature
which long ago fell prey to time and
circumstance. He dispensed splendid
hospitality, we are told, though with
out ostentation or vanity, md the most
eminent foreigners joined the COM
pany. His niece, Miss Barton, presided
at the philosophers table, charming
his circle with her wit and understand
ing. Sir Isaac lived at the house in
ST. Martins street till 1925, when he
went into quarters at Kensington, dy-
ing on March 20, 1927. In that year
his name was erased from the books
of his former parish
