One of the best lisb stories told since
the opening of the trout season is now
going through the corridors of the lead

Canary, the theatrical manager, and is
being vouched for by Louis liobie.
Mr. Canary spent tho winter at St.
Augustine, Fla., and returned to the
city tho other day. While in the south
the genial Thomas took daily strolls
along the beach to get an appetite lor
dinner.
One day lie noticed a little colored
boy lying upon liis stomach along the
bank of the river, with his eyes llxcil
upon the water. He watched the little
fellow for fully fifteen minutes, but not
a muscle of his body moved. A few
minutes later he saw the boy make a
plunge toward the surface of the water,
and when he appeared again he held
in his hand it good sized trout.
Tom thought that this was such an
unusual thing that lie offered the boy
five cents for every trout he caught
that afternoon. Thomas sat on the
beach and watched the operation. The
boy caught the trout so fast that Tom,
fearing that bo would be bankrupted,
compromised with the lad. lie de
clares that his curiosity was pretty ex
pensive. It is rather a common thing to see
trout charming along the banks of the
southern waters. The temperature is
so mild and the water so clear that one
can walk along the beach and see tho
fish lump almost a foot above the sur
face of the water. New York Tele
gram. A riiiiffnoMis.
Nature with a lavish hand has en
dowed the human body with no less
than steen million spots to which an
ache or pain can be attached. When
each one of these spots, both inside
and outside, is filled with a bard plati
num tipped pain; when your head
aches so that you tire conscious of all
the ruffles and scallops on your brain
just as you see them in the pictures in
your physiology; when your heart
thumps and your stomach wobl! :!nd
you have the feeling that something is
wallowing through your inside works;
i when your sternum feels stove in and
jere is an uneasiness under your
houlder blades as though your wings
Vere beginning to sprout; when you are
' one moment alive to the linger tips with
thinking of the things you must get up
and do and the next completely ex
hausted by even the thought of doing
them; when your backbone has the
sensation of being twisted by a monkey
, wrench; when you are so dizzy that
you can't see, ar d your ears ring, and
your eyes water, and your nose is in
i" iach a state that it is presumption to
ii fiay aside your handkerchief for one
'fchort minute; when you cough and
jsneeze and groan in turn in fine, when
you feel like the very deuce you can
set it down that you have the grip.
