FISH STORY

The wan has driven the. cost of liv- ing up to dizzy heights, as we all know. All sorts of foods are being experimented with in order that peo- pie may eat without having to pawn something. Sharks have been point
 ed out as being a long neglected deli- cacy. porpoises are lauded for their whoIesomeness and toothsomeness and all sorts of weeds and herbs are sug- gested to fill the gap and the stom- ach. You remember the old south ern darky who. when asked for the recipe for rabbit stew. said: First you. cotches yer rabbit" Well, the same recipe, at least so far as the darky gave it, is considered applica- ble to fish First you cotches yer fish" An! There's the rub Who has time if a nasty meal is to be pre- pared to set out with line and hook to catch fish, if they will bite? For those of us who have not this time to spare, there is glad news in store. No longer will we have to dig worms and stick them on a hook and fling out the line and sit and wait until. the fish feel inclined to bite, for a genius has arisen in the land who will make all that trouble unnecessary. To be
 more specific, that genius has arisen in Machias. his name for the present shall remain obscure though before long he will be hailed as the savior of the world from the tyrant High Cost of Living. Machias, as you know very well. is in Maine. Here Is what the Machias genius proposes to do: He is experimenting in fish culture with the object of evolving a fish with a handle to it. Do you get the significance of that! All you have to do when you are hungry and there isn't thing. in the house for dinner is to run tos the waters edge, put in your hand, pull out fish, sprinkle on a little salt and Jet it simmer. This is not a fish story of the ordinary kind, please understand. If you don't believe it, call up Machias.

 She whose character has been tar nished ever so slightly, while not on the same plane, ought not to give ur hope. She should realize that men prize women best who look the world in the face without 8 blush. They should realize that if they are on the wrong track, they should get off from 1t, and emulate the example of the women whom men revere and marry All that young women need is to have it pointed out to them clearly but kindly, just the kind of girls who have strongest and best influence over the hearts of men.
 Character is everything to warm the heart.
