A Fisly Loth Tale.
H4 Ht 1 1 ill I I I I I I I I
"If was a hot August day," said the
Judge, leaning back in his desk chair
and looking out the window. "Uncle
Jimmy and 1 and Murphy, the guide,
were out casting lor bass along the east
hore of Virgin Lalte. You remember
the placet There where the bank runs
up forty feet high, with a lot of jack
pines on tne top ana oia wspw t ;
in In the middle of them? Close to the
shore there are a lot of tall green bul
rushes, with some big windfall hanging
down among 'em. It's lovely water for
bass.
"When we started out that morning
it looked like rain, and 'Murph' and 1
took our slickers along with us.
'Murph' said it was sure to rain before
night, but Uncle Jimmy knew better.
He wasnt going to be troubled tugging
a lot of slickers across the portages,
b said.
' "Until after ireqjUBwas broiling hot
and we got nary f""om oam-
Uncle Jimmy gotnf little 'auakes'
and I nabbed joupl if pike, but the
' black bassrere not biting at all. About
2 o'cloeK lt commenced to sprinkle,
amKabout the same time the black
began to go alter our frogs. The
rain got heavier and so did the bass.
Murph' and I put on our slickers and
Uncle Jimmy sat there and Boaked, but
he was pretty game. Inside of an hour
we had got twenty bass among us
and the rain was Just oozing out of
Uncle Jimmy.
" 'Say,' he said, finally, 'when are
you fellows going in? Im getting
lred.'
" 'Going In?' said I, with a snort.
'Going In? With the bass biting Ilka
this! Why, we ain't going in till it gets
too dark to can.'
"The fish that were rising to our
frogs were all small mouths, and not
one of them weighed less than two
pounds. I had one four pounder and
a couple more about as big. It was one
of the days a fisherman dreams of. Uncle
Jimmy was having his share of the
luck, but he did look mighty moist und
uncomfortable.
"There was a nice little breeze com
ing out of the west with the rain. 'The
wind from the west, it It the best,' you
know. It was just enough to blow us
along at the proper rate- for casting,
keeping us out at the proper distance
from the lily pads and rushes. Then,
when we got to the end of the cast
ing ground, 'Murph' would row out
and back again to the beginning of the
weed beds.
"By 6 o'clock, for one in my life, I
had got almost enough of bass fishing.
Kf arm ached from casting and my
reel hanVihad hj-.V-a- vilozeiL gpo -Ails-ters
on It. We were all getting pret
ty careless, fooling with our fish after
we had hooked them and letting them
take all kinds of liberties with us.
"Finally I hooked a good three
pounder and, after a hot fight, finally
pulled him up to within ten feet of the
boat. I was dragging the fish along
on the top of the water when 'Murph,'
the guide, called out, In an excited
whisper, 'Say, look at that other' bass
a-follerln' along.'
"We looked and there, right beside
the fish that was hooked, was another
bass a little larger, swimming along
with Its nose almost touching the head
of the cuss on the spoon. I tell you It
looked mighty peculiar.
" 'What's that mean?' asked Uncle
Jimmy.
" 'I ain't sure,' says 'Murph,' 'wheth
er you've hooked a lady bass and that's
her husband coming along to try and
help the old lady out of her scrape, or
whether that big fellow behind Is the
maw or paw or the fellow that took your
frog. I've seen a thing like that hap
pen Just once before, and some folks
holds one idee and some the other.
For all I know the fish on the book
nay be a young lady bass and the big
one her beau. Pull in closer to the
boat and maybe we can tell more about
If
"I reels In almost all my line and
get the fish within six feet of the
boat Still the big fellow followed right
along. Every now and then he'd swim
right up close to the fish on the hook
and rib his nose against its nose. Then
he'd swim alongside of It and seem to
caress it with Its fins.
'Say,' says 'Murph,' 'ain't that the
most loving expression you ever seen
on a fish's face?'
"And not a blamed one of us laughs!
"Finally Uncle Jimmy starts out to
try to catch the free bass. He throws
In a nice green frog, Just the right size
and as lively as a cricket. The frog
lands within two Inches of the big
baas' nose, and the way it kicked and
wum along through the water must
have been most appetizing to a fish,
but that bass never paid the slightest
attention to it Uncle Jimmy leu his
frog drift back until it brushes the
bass in the nose with Its hind legs, and
then the fish simply pushed It aside
and came swimming along beside Its
captured mate. He fooled along four
or five minutes, trying to Interest the
bass in frog legs, but never succeeded
at all. Then he reels In, takes off the
frog, and puts on a phantom minnow.
It waa a brand hew phantom", green and
liver, with darker fins and a mighty
pretty bait, but it djdn't work any bet
ter than the frog. The big bass would
have nothing to do with it
"Every now and then I'd give the
bass on my line a Jerk through the
water, and every time the big fellow
would start up like a flash and follow
It My fish was hooked lightly In the
upper jaw and there was a piece of pork
itnll Which I Was llllnl fne halt olt.,1,1..-
. utiU
out of one side of Its mouth. As I
watched . the two fish coming along
through the water I suddenly saw that
the big fellow had also noticed that
pork rind. He swam up close to his
mate and made a savage clip at the
projecting pork rind with his Jaws. He
caught it, too, and then proceeded to
shoot around and through himself
almost out of the water. -
" 'B'goshl You've got ,'em both
hooked!' yelled 'Murph.'
'I thought I had, too, tod started to
una
reel hard, but Just as 'Murph' was
reaching for the pair of them with his
landing net the big chap shook the
pieco of pork out of his mouth and
lay off a couple of feet, still within
six feet of the boat and watching us
with both eyes. All this time, you
know, they were both on the top of
the water.
" Try him with a piece of pork rind,
I jcalled to Uncle Jimmy. That's what
he seems to like.'
Uncle Jimmy put a nice brown piece
of pork, with a white belly, on hts
spoon and let it drop almost into the
Jaws of the big bass. But he never
even smelt of It. ' lt :
'B'gosh! said 'Murph,' 'that big fel
ler was just trying to get his wife loose
when he took your bait'
"And It certainly did look that way.
Uncle Jimmy Is a nice, gentle, tender
hearted little man, and he was begin
ning to be touched by this example of
love'a devotion.
" 'Through the furnace, unshrinking,
thy steps I'll pursue,
And shield thee, and save the, or
perish there, too.'
I caught him quoting, and there was
something shiny In his eye.
" 'Say, Judge,' he said, "let's let 'em
go. It's too much like breaking up a
happy home to suit me.'
"1 was willing for tho devotion of
that big bass, whether it was maternal
or uxorious, was certainly extremely
touching.
" 'I'm going to let lt go I Bays to
'Murph,' but he stopped me.
" 'No use," he says. 'That old girl
on your hook has been dragging
through the water too long. She's fair
drowned by this time."
"But I reeled her up to the boat and
'Murph' lifted her with .the landing
net. It was a female' bass all right.
Then we looked-to see what had be
come qf. the big fellow. He had dis
appeared. " 'That's about where I Baw him
last,', I says, and makes a little cast
with my empty spoon. It no sooner
hit the water than up he come, boiling,
and fairly swallowed the book, spoon,
and swivels and all. Then I expected a
great fight, but, Ixrd, that bass never
even tried to get away. Why, he Just
come running right up to the side of
the boat and sat there, on his haunches
as quiet as you please, waiting for
'Murph' to get busy with the landing
net. We lifted him and he fell off the
hook right beside his dead mate, and
lay there without making a single flop.
I shall always feel"
Just then the listener rudely Inter
rupted. "I wonder, judge," he said, looking
out of the window, "if it's going to rain
all day?"
"I don't know, sir," snapped the
Judge, sharply. "What did you call to
see me about, anyway?' H. M. H., in
Chicago Tribune.
PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Public spirit is mostly lung power.
A man's riches are his children and
they spend themselves.
Corrupt lonists will stop buying votes
when there is no more voting.
A nice way never to disagree with
your wife is not to have one.
It would be pretty comfortable not
to have a large family to support.
A man with an automobile doesn't
have to be a bachelor unless he wants

It would be a lot more fun marrying

body else.
Boys would learn a gbduleal more
In school than they do If thegot pun
ished for it.
There is something about reform that
gives those who do it mighty mean
dispositions.
lt would make a trust man feel worse
If the way the public abuses him cost
him anything.
When a man has a little money he
pretends it is more than It is, and
when a lot that it Ib less.
A girl thinks she is mighty sweet to
her mother for kissing her for bring

There's no use telling a girl she Is
pretty; to do the work you must tell
her she is the prettiest one you ever

Want to Be Smart
The craving of the Alaskan Indians
for education Ib almpst pitiable, says
the Southern Workman. Ask them
what they need and the answer Is the
same:
"Schools for the children so that
they may become smart like the white
man."
They are very affectionate people to
their children; every benefit Is for
the child. The older people fully real
ize the fact that they represent the
past Tbey have always been produc
ers, and their faith In themselves Is
half of the struggle that lies before
them. To this end they should be
provided with day schools In all of the
villages of a hundred or more adult.
In some sections where the families
are distributed over a large area of

Lake of Petroleum In Gulf.
Incoming vessels report having en
wintered" an Immense lake of oil,
fifty miles off the Texas coast, through
which they plowed their way for
nearly fhree hours, says' the Galves
ton correspondent of the St. Louis
Clint Democrat. The crude oil cov
ered an area of many miles. While
the oil lake In the gulf has been
known to the mariners for many
years, a light, oDy surface has been
its extent up to the last two days. The
oil appears to be gushing up through
the water In a heavy stream.
Oil experts who have been examin
ing the Texas fields to ascertain the
cause of the steady decrease of pro
duction declare that the original sup
ply of oil has found an outlet through
the gulf. This theory Is strengthened
by the fact that the production In the
Texas-Louslana fields has dropped on
nearly 1,000,000 barrels within the
last sixty days, despite the many new
wells struck.
Life After Death.
A German biologist has been In
vestigating the question of the activ
ity of animal bodies after death.. and
has published some sugtvsttve- con
clusions. It appears rtiat death Is
not lnstantanerara through the physi
cal organlim, for It has been ob
served that many of the different tis
sues' continue active for a consider
able period after the time when the
animal Is assumed to be dead, par
ticularly In the case of the lower
animals. Cells from the brain of a
frcg, for example, have been kept
alive for over a week when held In
certain solutions, and the heart of
a frog has been known to beat for
many hours-after being removed from
the dead body. The hearts of turtles
and snakes will beat for days, or even
a week, after death.
A Happy Afterthought.
The story of a proposal by telephone
Is recorded by s writer In the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger. Pete, a col
ored youth, was very bashful, and
having decided, first, that he wanted
Miss Johnson for Lis wife, and sec
ond, that he dared not ask her In
person, he had recourse to the tele
phone. He rang ber up at the house
of ber employer, and Inquired:
"Is dat you, Miss Johnson?"
"Yaas," came the reply.
"Well, Miss Johnson, I s got a mos'
Important question to ask you."
"Yaas."
"Will you marry me, Miss John
son?" "Yass. Who Is ft. please?"
BEYOND THE PALE.
"But," says the visitor to the old
friend, whom she had not seen for
ten years, "you will pardon my seem
ing presumption, yet I think I could
suggest several ways In which your
house could be more economically
managed."
"Economy?" says the hostess, with
some hauteur. "Pardon me, but our
position in society is such that we
cannot afford to save money." Life.

that Liberia possesses an almost un
limited supply of rubber-producing
trees, althongh hitherto but little
caoutchouc has been exported from that
country. Within half a dozen years, he
says 250,000 cultivated rubber trees
may be j 'aiding sap in Liberia. An
other report Is to the effect that there
are In Liberia at least 20,000 square
miles of territory covered with dense
forests of rubber trees. On account
of the constantly Increasing demand
for rubber In electrical Industries, these
reports awaken much Interest.

ELECTRIC TRUNK LINES.
Possible Effect They May Have on
Future Freight Rates.
Within the last few days an an
nouncement has been made of a pro
posed air line electric route between
New York and Chicago, redugaf to a
distance of 742 mllajyat""' V-K,
made in tensors. 1 nrtniii
nrfffoad line betweeu Chicago and
New York Is 812 miles. The electric
air line route would thus cut off 170
miles, or 18.6 per cent of the steam
road distance.
Assuming that an electric trunk line
ebtween Chicago and New York Is fi
nancially and otherwise practical, and
this Is open to question, the strategic
value of such a protect Is such an nns-
slbly to have a far-reaching effect on
the whole trunk line situation If
electric lines could eventually parallel
the trunk lines to the Atlantic and
Gulf seaports their Influence on the
railroad situation might not stop with
passenger traffic. They would be
gin to tell sooner or later on freight
conditions. They would not simply
figure as feeders of the railroad, as
they are now generally doing, but pos
sibly reduce the ton-ml)e rate of
freight to a new low baslB of cost
The average revenue a ton mile for
the year ended June 80, 1903, was
.762c, and for 1904, .780c. This Is the
lowest average cost of any railroad
system In the world, but cannot be ac
cepted as finality. The probable effect
of elec.lc line construction on railway
rates would not only be found to In
fluence through freights, but might be
still more marked In Its effect upon lo
cal freight rates. This Is doubtless a
far look ahead, but the development
of electrical power has been so ranld
and marvellous that Hs possible fiuare
growth becomes a subject of fascinat
ing Interest. Wall Street Journal.

There are domestic fires burning
In Yorkshire today which have never
been out for hundreds of years.
At the old-fashioned farm-house in
the dales of Yorkshire peat Is still
burned. The fuel Is obtained from
the moors, and stacks of lt are kept
by the farmers In their stack garths.
.The country roundabout Is noted
for Its "grldle cakei," which are made
from dough baked In quatut pans sus
pended over the peat fires.
These flres are kept glowing from
generation to generation, and the son
warms himself at the fire which
warmed bis sire and his grandslre
snd his grands-Ire's sire, and which
will warm his son and his son's son.
There is a fire at Castleton, In the
Whitby district, which has been burn
ing for over 200 years. The record
probably Is held by a farm-house at
Osmotherly, in the same district.
This fire has been burning for S00
years, and there are records to show
that it has not been out during the
last three centuries. London Times.

"How's your book going?" asked
the frleqd. . ;
"Not .very well," replied the optim

press when only 100 copies had been
printed." ( '
"My! that's, too bad."
"Yes; but then think what a
chance it will have of becoming a
'rare first edition' some day.." Phil

Limitations,
"Madam," said the young man who
had called at the dack door on May
day, "I have the pleasure of intro
ducing to you our new, automatic
boiiBcdeanlng machine a simple little
thing which does the whole work of
housecleanlng, leaving to you merely
the general supervision." The New
Orleans Plcayunne records the con
versation. "Does It all, hey?" demanded the
woman of the house. "Will lt wash
the outside of the up-stalr windows?"
"Why, no, madam, but "
"Will lt take down, wash, stretch
to dry, Iron and hang up the parlor
curtains?"
"Well, of course this machine"
. "Will it gild the chandeliers, paint
the kitchen, make my daughter help
with the dishes, persuade my huB
band to be contented with cold din
ners, get out the screens and paten
thorn up?"
"Oh 'madam, this machine "
"Will It take down the parlor stove
and set up the refrigerator, wash the
winter bedding and put it away, lay
down the furs with moth balls, paper
the hall bedroom, wash down the pa
per in the bathroom, wash, fold,
starch and Iron and put away the
family clothes, darn, patch and sew
on buttons, wash dishes, set three
meals a day, and pacify the house
hold?" "No, madam, you have misunder
stood the limitations of this machine."
"Limitations?" demanded tho wo
man of the house. "I guess it has
limitations. It will be a long time
yet before any man will get up a ma
chine that will do all a woman has
to do In housecleanlng tjnie."
She took a fresh moutjiful of tacks
and went back to the dlnlng-mom
carpet, and the agent faded sa'y

A Valuable Dog.

"'Quarry Farm," his summer homo
near Elmlra, N. Y. He and his neigh
bors exchange experiences and both
profit thereby. The genial humorist
tells of one farmer who purchased
a hunting dog that waa highly recom
mended to him by a man who did not
seem particularly reluctant about part
ing with it. When the dog was de
livered the farmer looked lt over
with considerable misgivings. It
seemed shy and bashful and hardly
tho animal lt was cracked up to be.
Anxious to give lt a trial, however,
he took It oat shortly afterward and,
as luck would have It, ran across a
fox.. The dog took after tho fox and
the two were soon out of sight, the
farmer followmg as rapidly as he
could. Finally he mot another farmer
who, in response to his enquiry, stat
ed that tbey had passed in his di
rection. Asked as to how they were
running, the second farmer replied:
"Wall, lt was nip and tuck, but I
think the dog was about three foet
ahead." Lippincott's.
Chicago's New Court House.
Chicago has never had much luck,
of the good sort at least, with her
public buildings. Hence her especial
joy and pride in her new court house.
It Is to cost $5,000,000, will have 1
frontage of 374 feet on Clark street
and of 157 feet on Washington and
Randolph streets, Its foundation piers,
says the World Today, go down to bed
rock at from 115 to 120 feet below the
street level. It will tower 205 feet
above the street.
On the main front the most con
spicuous feature will be ten monBter
columns, each 94 feet in height. Tho
bi.llding will contain thirty court
rooms, venlllateS by the blast system,
which, by Introducing washed air,
does away with open windows.
Barring accident, lt will be com
pleted by May 1, 1907.

from a visit to the new home.
"I guess there's nothing Anabells
can't hava If she takes the notion,"
said Mrs. Hobba, with a sigh of satis

show reason, for of course, Henry will
get kind of wonted to her after a

but now he takes up with all her
whims. , What do you suppose his
last gift was?"
The listener dared not venture a
supposition.
"I didn't Imagine you would," said
Mrs. Hobbs, with satisfaction. "Ana
belle's alwayn been set on onions
ever since she was a child, but her
pa and I never encouraged her In it
first because they smell so, and then,
too, they cost considerable unless you
raise them yourself.
"Well, Henry found out now ionu
she Is of 'em, and he ordered a half
bushel to be there when they got
back from the trip; and then when
she told htm my objections, and he
knew I was coming he bought a
pint bottle of that new hyacinth per
fumery and put lt In the guest-room
for me.
"When I got that on, why, Anabelle
might have eaten the whole o' that
