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.

LOVE'S THE OIL.
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.
