Asked for a fortuitous guess as to what man during recent years most nearly tasted the complete joy of existence, one might venture the name of the late John Gerard Heck scher of Now York, and not err greatly. Hecksclicr was an enthu siastic angler and a bibliomaniac, and he possessed the wherewithal to gratify his paramount passions. The gods sometimes must have envied Jiim his absolute happiness. 'In New York City recently Heck- seller's library, comprising over 2,000 volumes, chiefly dealing with out of door pastimes and the noblp art of fishing, was disposed of at public auction. Book lovers from Europe and from all part of the United States were present, and they bid on most of the rare old volumes with the eagorness of men who un Uerstood the untainted pleasure which might come with the posses sion of tho best friends of a thor oughly contented being. Needless to say, beloved Izaak 'Walton was present in spirit, beslde's being tangibly represented by sev eral wonderful old volumes bearing his name. "The Compleat Angler" was disposed of In eight or ten dif ferent editions to enthusiasts who 'had been longing for years for that 'delirious moment of possession. A copy of tho first edition of the great est fisherman's book was sold for $3,900. Tour other volumes of Izauk's book, of four succeeding edi tions brought respectively, $780, ;$400, $350 and $150. A large num Jier of rare books on the same sub ject, written by tho lesser anglers of history, were sold for large sums. The man who obtained the copy of tho first edition of Iznnk's work may count It as a growing asset If ho is sordidly inclined; for a few years ago tho same book might have been purchased for a couple of hun dred dollars. It will continually In crease In value not at this aston ishing rato, to be sure but at least rapidly onough to ninko the Invest mont a good ono fiom a commercial point of view. But in all probability, tho happy now owner of the cherished copy doos not measure Its value In mere dollars. Tho book Is said to bo In a perfect stato of preservation. It Is a curious volume, elaboiately got ton up, and bearing tho Imprint of Master Richard Marriott, n book seller, and tho publication dato of 1C53. Oil tho tltlo pago aro four wonderfully imulo dolphins, and swimming complacently about its margins Is an entire school of littlo llsh which resomblo grayling. Tho docoratlvo schema sets off a quoted verso from St. John: "Simon Peter said, 'I go n-llshlng;' nnd thoy said, 'Wo also will go with thee.' " It Is to bo hoped that the man who now owns "Tho Compleat Anglor" Is a fisherman and u philos opher and a dreamor ono who will Raton humbly to Izank's marvelous dissertation on baits and baiting, nnd who, at tho same time will npptt' clnto and understand the quaint, re freshing vlows of life wrltton by the charming gontloman who borrowed Ills sermons from tho llsh nnd the streams and tho heart of nature.

When the old machine Is cranky, and It doesn't seem to run; Whon your fortune is but pranky, and your living Isn't fun; When you're really up against It, as you mention to a friend, And your "pile," though you've re trenched It, sadly dwindles to Its end; When your sky Is clogged with vapor, and you feel somebody lied When he mentioned proper caper "Silver's on the other side;" When, In short, you're very weary of the bog through which you roam, Shape your course unto your dearie and the lovcllght of your home. For I tell you, man and brother, Of the all-dejected mten. Here's a truth. If there's no other: Love will oil the old machine. Faith, the way Is often dreary, as the best ot mortals know, And our eyes sometimes are teary as wo wander to and fro. Hope has castles time will shatter a3 we pass upon our way, And the dream that most would flat ter was the dream we saw de cay. Weary? Don't I know it, brother? I, myself, have borne a load. And full oft must bear another ere the ending of the road; So let's make the moments cheery, when the stars light up the dome, As we hasten to our dearie and the lovellght of our home, If the old machine does wobble As it journeys day and night Through tho swamp or o'er the cobble, Love's the oil to set It right.
