Fish Liars Realized
They Were Oufclassed

The story, Trout by the Handful"
that appeared in recent number of
the Companion reminds subscriber
of the following tall" one that she
often heard her grandfather tell:
AT one time when my grandfather
was on his way to Porto Rico he met
on the boat number Of spOrtsmen,
among whom was doctor. They all
gathered in the captains cabin one
night to swap yarns. With a serious
face each told the biggest one he
knew, and there were some pretty big
ones. They had all finished and were
about to vote to see who had told the
biggest when the doctor, who had
hitherto been silent, announced that
he would tell yarn himself. So they
all settled back again to listen.
"Well,' he began, 'once when 1 was
up in Canada where the big salmon
fisheries and canneries are l hap
pened on a little stream about a foot
wide up which the salmon were going
to spawn. The stream was so narrow
and the fish SO large that they could
not pass one another. so they were 60
ing up the stream in single file with
only few inches between them.
1T looked like a good opportunity
to get big fish, so, straddling the
stream, reached down suddenly and
caught fish in my hands. held 1t
under the water a second to get good
hold before I terked it out, and in
stantly the fish behind it bit its tail to
make 1t hurry. pulled my fish out
Of the water, and the other fish came
too as we'll as the one behind it and
the next one and so ON. Each fish,
you see, had hold Of the tail of the
one in front of It,
II started pulling in hand over hand,
and for three hours stood there and
pulled in the fish. When l finished
had an unbroken string Of salmon
three miles long,
AS he concluded the faces Of his lis
teners were perfectly blank. They sat
looking at one another in silence for a
few minutes; then one of them rose
AID, going to the table, wrote some
thing on an envelope. He passed the
envelope round, and every one read
and signed it. Then he ceremonious-
ly presented 1t to the doctor, who,
after reading it aloud pocketed it and
bowed gravely.
This is what he read:
'"This is to certify that we, the un-
dersigned, hereby proclaim Doctor
X to be the champion liar Of this
boat. We poor fellows thought we
could tell 'em, but we resign in favor
Of the doctor. youths Companion.

MR.. ZEBRA'S STORY

last spring l shed my wool and
was clipped" said one Of the goats.
And the others said:
1--WE did the same, and we were all
clipped"
1.-THE sheep in the sheepfold at the
other end of the zoo all did the same"
the goat remarked.
'"That's nothing" said Mr.. Zebra.
almost all of the animals do that.
There is regular round of clipping
and shaving in the springtime.
"Then all the animals feel SO nice
and fresh and clean. They feel just
like people who have bought new
spring clothes.
"The trees all have beautiful new
leaves in the spring and the flowers
come out in glorious fashion.
"Yes, in the springtime all the ami
mails, everything in nature such as the
trees, the flowers, the grass, the moss
in the woods, everything wants to look
its best.
"And, as I have said, people are the
same way" continued the Zebra.
'They feel shabby with their old
clothes and want to spruce them up a

bit. Just as we get clipped and fixed
up and trimmed up!
''The snakes get new skins in the
spring.
1T is true they do the same thing
at other times, too, but the spring is
the big time of the year for them
especially for those snakes not In the
| ZOO.
'The ones in the country sleep all
winter and when they awaken they
want to look nice and fresh and as
handsome as snakes can look!
Sometimes that is really quite
handsome.
ooh, yes, snakes are beautifully and
artistically marked, you'll quite often
find.
But 1 am different from all the
other creatures because I come off in
stripes.
II don't let my whole outside skin
come off as the snakes do.
II don't go to a shop and buy a new
dress as a person does.
81 don't have a dressmaker or a
tailor take my measurements and
make me new outfit.
"Nor do 1 have lot of fur or wool
coming off that looks just the same"
"What do you do?" the goats near
by asked.
III come off in stripes, as 1 said be-
FORE" the Zebra replied.
~,
haven't explained how you do this"
"Quite easily" said the Zebra
NATURALLY I come off In stripes
when I am creature Of stripes"
"When my extra hair comes off, 1t is
striped hair Ell? l can't help but
come off in stripes!"
"Of course" the others all said !;
but it did sound funny at first when
you said it,"
II meant it to-" said the Zebra, grin
ming
81 like to say that I peel off in
stripes, for everyone takes notice I'M
til they stop to think it over.
'Then they realize that is the only
way I could peel off
"But let's talk of the next springs
plans, for winter will come and then
spring-and we might as we'll think a
little in advance of the season instead
Of what has passed"
"Oh, yes, we might as WELL" the
others agreed
"In fact, we might speak of several
years in advance"
ooh, hardly as far as that" said the
Zebra.
But he was pleased, for they had
listened to him when he had told his
story, and no matter how important or
unimportant creatures story may
be they all like to have listeners listen
attentively when they are telling 1t.

Not EUen Mdnlike

Donald, few years older than Betty,
feels quite responsibility about her
conduct. He came home one day and
things that weren't exactly proper.
Mother said, Betty did you say
things that weren't ladylike?"
"Ladylike," said Donald in disgust,
"they weren't even manlike."

Chicago Produce Market
June 2.-(AI

Chicago, June 2.-(AP).
Reports that Illinois wheat had been
injured far worse by the recent freeze
than was generally supposed did much
today to bring about sharp advance
in wheat prices here. The wheat mar
ket closed strong, to 3ac net higher,
July 1.64 to 1854 and September 1909
to. 1909, with corn ranging from lac
decline to lie gain, oats &c to s@3c up,
and provisions at rise varying from
25 to 55c. -,
According to one comprehensive re-
port which received particular atten-
ton. the wheat crop is virtually de-
stroyed over a hundred square miles
vi territory around Bloomington. 9th
er authorities commended that only the
harvest will tell the actual amount of
damage. An outstanding fact, how
ever, was that good many traders
were sufficiently impressed to buy
wheat at rather lively rate, especial
ly the July delivery.
The gist of the crop damage reports
was the assertion that wheat assumed
to be exceptionally good has turned
out to have, no grain in the head and
Of acres of wheat fields of this char
acter were reported already as being
mown down. The consequent late ad-
vancing trend of prices was in decided
contrast with the action of the market
earlier when the dominating influence
was unexpected weakness of LIVERPOOL
quotations owing more or less to an
important bank failure in Denmark.
Additional rains over wheat territory
in this country acted also as a tenn
porary bearish factor.
Corn was steadied by the late
strength of wheat Warm, moist

Mrs. Mark Gray, T. II. Spear.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weston were pre-

about larger power house. The
level of the mill pond can be chang
ed, but Mr.. Mooers is always hesi-
tant about lowering the pond be-
cause he doesn't want to lose any OF
his fish. In the station and also in
the house are gauges for the heaters.
'And this is the greatest thing"
said Mr.. Mooers. opening the door OF
the fuse box and proudly displaying
the exhibit. Every room Is wired
separately and when a fuse blows a
glance here will tell which one b In
trouble" There are also two switch
es in the box, one for the lights and
one for the heaters.
There is electricity for everything
and no bills as gentle reminders the
first of the month. 1t has its draw
backs though, Mr.. Mooers declares,
because the second day they were
there, a cable running between the
station and the house broke and 1t
cost STATS to be replaced.
But even at that. there is heat and
power aplenty. Only two days or so
in the past winter was the power in
any way lessened. There IL but one
thorn in the side, as the old saying
goes. That is, the radio sometimes
is bothered by the electricity. So
the electricity is curtailed as much
as possible because the Mooers are
keen radio fans.
