FISHING WITH AN Ak.
Winter Sport In Which Tackle ard
Bait Are Not Needed.

When man starts out in the dead

arm aud says he is going islng one Is
Inclined TO smile and take his state
ment with grain Of suit. Neverthe.
less IL is true that fish are caught
with no other tackle" than an ordi-
uary AK.
Along the coves of fresh water lakes
and ponds in the winter. especially
when the first new ice has formed u
transparent covering. it is possible to
secure number of good sized fish by
means Of an ax alone. These FISHER
men" wear the heavy felt boots Of the
lumbermen. from which the rubber
shoes are removed when they reach the
ice \ bright sunshiny day is needed
for this sort of fishing. In many of
these coves and especially in such
coves as are filed With rushes and WA
ter lilies in the summer pickerel. pike
and other members of that fish family
come to the surface of the water and
rest within an inch or so of the ice.
As far as known they do this to get in
the sunilgnt. Just as tney sometimes
float motionless near the surface of the
water in the summer
The ax fisherman in his noiseless felt
boots walks slowly over the transpar-
ent ice looking for these fish. They
seem to think that the ice affords a
protection. and they are not usually
frightened away. When the unsports-
manlike fisherman" sees fish near
the surface he steals up and hits the
ice a resounding whack with his AK.
Nine times out of ten the fish will be
seen to turn belly upward and lay mo-
tionless. The secret Of this is that the
impact of the ax on the ice has forced
the water against the fish's head with
sufficient pressure to stun him. The
fisherman hastily chops hole through
the ice, reaches in and pulls out his

SIMPLY ROBBED THEM.
Mean Trick a Political Boss Played
Upon His Ward Heelers.

A veteran politician when the sub
ject of political graft and blackmail
came up told of the experience Of the
boss of a certain city who was some
thing in the way Of a collector him
self.
One day near the close of hot cam
paiEn he managed to round up some
5000. With a couple Of his pals he
had bibulous celebration. About in
the morning he was clipging to lamp
post and trying to call cab when two
Of his heelers hove in sight. He knew
they would rob him IL they suspected
he had money. Bracing himself, he
greeted them with:
Hello. fellows; lucky you happened
along. I'm dead broke and want a
cab. Get one and take me to my ho-
tel and I'll make good"
When they reached the hotel the
drunken boss sleepily asked the clerk
to give each of his companions S.
bill. At the same time he drew from
his trousers pocket huge roll Of bills
and, throwing it at the clerk. told him
to keep that wad Of stuff In a safe
place until morning"
Disgustedly the heelers watched the
safe door close on the young fortune
that had escaped them, while the boss
sank Into chair.
'Oh. you thief" angriiy shouted one
Of the heelers as he shook his fist I'M
der the nose of the boss. That's the
meanest double cross you ever gave a
friend in your whole crooked career.
You said you was broke and You had

days. That money belongs to us by
rights and you've robbed us OF it,

FOUND ITS GOLDEN HEAD.
Riddle of a Marble Column In Italy
Read by a Beggar.

Riddle Of a Marble Column In Italy
Read by a Beggar.
Near the monastery of San Vito, in
Naples. stood marble column that
had been erected by an eccentric
Frcnchman about the beginning of the
last century. On 1t were written in
French the following eniSmatic words:
ION May every year l have a golden
head"
The inscription sorely puzzled the
Inhabitants OF Naples On May l the
year after the erection Of the column
4 great crowd came to 1t In the hope
Of finding the top covered with gold
pieces. Needless to say. they went
home with their pockets as empty as
they were when they came.
For several years people came to see
the promised wonder and went away
disappointed. At last the authorities
had the column taken down in the be-
lief that treasure would be found be-
meath it. Nothing but earth was
found. and so the column was set up
again. Obviously the words had a
mystic meaning. but no one was clever
enough to guess it. and for years the
riddle remained unsolved.
Finally In 1871 ragged beggar
named Annibale Tosci noticed the In.
scrptiOn. He stood looking at 1t for a
long time while he pondered its mean
ing. Then suddenly the solution OF
the puzzle flashed into his mind. He
waited patiently until May before he
tested the accuracy Of his interpreta-
ton Of the mystic words.
On the day mentioned In the lnscrip-
ton TOsci. bearing a pick and shovel.
set out at daybreak for the column.
He arrived before any chance visitors.
and as soon as the monastery's bells
tolled he started digging in the
ground covered by the shadow Of the
top Of the column. He had not dug
long before he came on a satchel that
contained 10000 francs. The inscrip-
ton was a true one-the head Of the
column covered the golden treasure
every year on May 1.
Annibale TOsci the beggar whose
sharp guess had given him compare
tive wealth, became landowner near
Mantua. He died at the age Of nine
ty-four.-Youth's Companion.

isfactory Proof Of why God Permits
Evil"
One of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today is,
"Why does God permit evil?" As we
look about us in the world we observe
that it is filed with sorrow and trouble,
sickness and pain aud every trial we
could enumerntc. and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS IT
We realize that lie is almighty and
that lie could prevent II If lie wished
We read in His Word that lie l. more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs. and we
know how much that means; vet Of
tcntimcs it seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question is made very
clear in book entitled. "rhe Divine

is backed by Scripture, and shows that
