never, at the fall of the year, sung the
praises of scrapple. He has never made
rhyme suitable for a sausage In round

buckwheat cake and maple syrup. The
syrup Is n clinging, sticky thing, and lends
itself well to the general atmosphere OF
poetry and poets.
Scrapple made its debut in the l0-and-

be had in the better kinds Of restaurants
all the year. Its consumption Is generally
frowned upon i'm summer, but 1t Is kept on

Philadelphia scrapple and wish to sample
the same as they wish to take a hurried

Cooperation

Wherever a common want can be
localized, the want can be met at a less
ened price
To insure one mans life for $1,000 would
cost $lOOO-to insure a hundred thousand
lives for $1,000 each wouldn't cost $40
apiece, and thcred be a profit to the in
surer.
To sell few pianos "costs more than
they come to"-to concentrate bip
business on one make at a time, let's us sell
pianos on as close margin as we sell dress
goods-and still the big business paws,
where the little business with high prices
eats itself up.
Suppose we sell four thousand pianos in
a year-the demand coming Just as II
happens-we have to handle driblet lots
OF each one make, and it's costly.
This club centers the attention of three
million people on pianos and PLAYERS of
the Hardman make-the Harrington"
line. We are justified in buying and re-
eeiving and handling in the big way that
lessons costs.
The saving is divided among those who
JON the club-thats the economy we offer,
And we can even afford to insure each
members life as to this debt.

BLACK BASS FOR LAKE.
Cobbossee Stock to be Replenished-
Facts About Bass.


1t will be a matter of general inter-
est to fishermen to know that there is
a prospect that in the near future
the stock of black bass in Lake Cob
bosseecontee will be rep1enished by
the planting in the waters of the lake
of lot of bass fry propagated un-
der the supervision of the Bureau of
Fisheries connected with the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington,
d. c.
A short time ago Commodore F. G..
Kinsman of the Cobbosseecontee Yacht
Club, at the instance of the club, made
request of II. NJ. Smith, United
States commissioner of fisheries at
Washington. for a supply of black
bass fry for the purpose of freshen-
ing the stock of that fish in the lake.
and has just received from Commits
sioner Smith the following reply:
Dear Sir:
From the description given in your
application it is believed the waters
you desire to stock are suited to the
cultivation of small-mouth black bass, $
made accordingly.
III THIS COIlflSCIiOH YOU are
that the Bureau is unable with its
present facilities, to produce the bass
es, crappies, sunfishes, and catfishes
in sufficient numbers to meet the de-
mands, and 1t can undertake to sup
ply only sufficient number of any
of them to form q brood stock in the
expectation that through the protec-
ton and natural reproduction the wa
tiers in which the fish are placed will
eventually become fully stocked. Ow-
ing to the difficulties and uncertain
ties encountered in the propagation
of these fishes, some of which men
toned in the accompanying circular, it
is impossible for the Bureau to fill
applications for them as promptly as
it can applications for the fishes prop
agated by the artificial manipulation
of their eggs. 1t is the policy of the
Bureau to fill all applications in the
order in which they are received. and
to arrange for the delivery of the fish
as soon as practicable thereafter.
