In the darkness that seemed dark

"All can get" smiled the medium.
"And you wouldn't be averse to q

wants to pass on his coin to a child, a
,, girl with about as much brains as her
father. Leastways. he doesn't want
to do it, but he has a sort of sense OF
duty. Well. he's worth fifty thousand
and l think five is enough for a fool
kid that wouldn't know how to spend

just on the point of doing it anyway

FEW FISH IN POTOMAC.
Reports From Down River Saw the
Catch Is Exceptionally Lirht

Reports received from the vessels en-
gagged in summer fishing work on the
lower Potomac say the catch has been
very light 80 far and that most of the
fish caught are being shipped to the big
markets IN the north. where high prices
for seafood Of all kinds prevail.
The schooner Mary Faunce, one of the
fishing fleet. has returned to this city.
and will lay up for a time until the fish
make their appearance in the river The
schooner Ada Ballenger and the sloop
Enola are among the vessels employed
In summer fishing work on the river.
Usually at this time good catches Of
white perch. rock, bass. crocus. trout.
catfish and carp are being made and
the market here Is well supplied with
fish from home waters. While the local
market is now well supplied with fish
they are coming from the coast fisheries.
Potomac bass are exceptionally scarce.
and are commanding high prices when
they can be obtained. 1t is stated that
unless the fish make their appearance in
the river shortly the vessels employed
in hunting them will give up the task
and return home.

Pointed Paragraphs.

Many rich men have nothing but sym
pathy for the poor.
If fish could talk anglers would
have to revise their yarns.
Love Is a serious thing the first time
a young man bumps into it.
Usually a man gives away better ad-
vice than he ever receives.
Most men would rather get the short
end of an argument than keep quiet.
Is it because man doesn't know a
woman that he asks her to marry him
A popular man is one who doesn't say
smart things at the expense OF his
friends.
Brevity is the soul Of wit, but 1ust
the same Il doesn't tickle a man when
he finds himself short.
If girl thinks as much Of young
man as she does OF herself, she has
the disease called love.
Occas asionally a bachelor marrfes be-
cause he imagines divorce Is less expen-
sive than a breach of promise.
