Nice Little Love Story.
A dreamer and a man of action loved
a woman. v
The dreamer said: ' "I shall write
verses in her praise. They will touch
her vanity, and she will love me tor
them." ,
tut the muu of action said: ,"How
old fashioDed! 1 shall-corner the stock
market, and that will bring her."
So the dreamer wrote verses, and he
Induced a friend of his who ran a mag
azine to print them. And the man of
action cornered something or other and
beemie n billionaire.
In the meantime the girl married n
man who inherited bis money ntid
livfd happy ever after
U lit the dreamer was so proud of his
verjos that lie didn't cure,, and the man
of action was so busy that he didn't
car?.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married. Hmurt Set. .

A traveler of the upper Nile thus de

house accommodating a family of no

ea-lt village almost nil related to each
other, comprising sometimes several
hundreds of people.
"Their streets are littered with filth,
animals of every kind obstruct one's
path, dogs growl and snarl at the ap
pearance and intrusion of a stranger,
and women Uee, hiding their faces
In their yashmaks lest a white man
Bhould behold their features. Files In
swarms settle on the children and lay
their eggs on their eyelids, unwashed,
because they believe it to be contrary
to their religion to wash or remove the
flies from their eyes." Chicago Record
Herald. Fighter In Loadon Streets.
' Tbe reign of George II. was a great
fighting time. Every man who went
abroad knew that be might have to
fight to defend himself against footpad
or bully. Most men carried a stout
stick. When Dr. Johnson beard that a
man had threatened to horsewhip him
he ordered a thick cudgel and was easy
in bis mind. There were no police, and
therefore a man had to fight It cannot
be doubted that the martial spirit of
the country, which was extraordinary,
was greatly sustained by the practice
of fighting, which prevailed alike in all
'inks.

THE TRUE FISHERMAN.
Be Enjoys Nature's Beauties and Is
Not a Mere Butcher.
The angler's art Is but a pretext, or, ,
rather, the incentive to a ramble, and
not the sole object of tbe fisherman,
unless, alas, he belongs to .that tea
common, variety, the man whose sole
object is his catch. 1 Such a man flsbe
with a worm, hides flngerllngs In tbe
depth of his basket and photographs
bis catch as a witness of his crimes.
He is' not a fisherman, but a butcher.
A yellow primrose on the river's bank
Is to him a primrose and nothing
more.
The true fisherman loves to catch
fish, to match his wits against the
weary trout, hut as he wanders from
pool to pool the songs' of the birds
greet him rostfully. Every turn In the
stream reveals a nook In which strange
wild flowers nestle. The gentle ex
citement of the sport prevents the
scene from becoming monotonous. Ths
element of chance, the uncertainty of
the catch, add the drop of tabasco
sauce which gives zest to the day, And j
the noontide meal by the brink of tbe
stream! When did a meal have a more
delightful flavor? Delmonlco never
served a trout like unto those we have
eaten by the banks of a mountain
brook with the clear blue sky above,
the waving forest round about and
tbe murmuring stream at our feet.
The bour of contemplation comes:
afterward, with the pipe ,of piace In
our band Instead of the relinquished
rod. How far off the city seems! Are
there such tilings as corporations,
trusts, stocks, bonds, electric lights
that amaze the sight, harsh warnings
of trolley gongs, the rumble und grind
of the wheels and the brakes on die
elevated road which affright the esr!
The harshest note that breaks the still
ness here Is the Loom of tbe bittern Is
the distant marsh.
Home to camp the fisherman goes,
taking a cast In this silent pool ' in
which the trout rose "in the forenoon
to his cast, but missed" the fly, or In
that daft hole deep under the bank .
In which a vigilant eye may detect lbs '
brown sides of a trout with lazily warr- ;
lug fins mid tail, an old campaigner,
not easily caught. Dr, A. T. Brlstow
