partment in one Of the leading stores

Homer of years agone, and he greeted
US like long lost friend. He is fast
gaining the reputation of being the lead
ing fisherman of that city, having estab-
lished his claims to superiority by catch
ing eleven fish in eleven weeks, up until
Sunday last, when it was reported in the
Joseph paper that he landed a string
of eight beauties and now the charm is
broken. Homer is tickled to death to
