PROOF POSITIVE.
Tha fkotofraph of the Fish Better
la these days of sophisticated ad
vancement no one believes a fish
story unless the proofs are at hand.
A Chicago artist who is much given
to angling makes periodical visits to
Wisconsin lakes and invariably brings
hack large and terrifying yarns re
f garding his catch. Formerly one of
his favorite yarns was that he pulled
out a black bass that seemed to be
' eighteen inches long, and just as he
was taking it in over the side of the
boat it got away from him.
One night at his club he related
how he and a man from Milwaukee
went out before breakfast and got
over 180 pounds of croppies.
"What became of them?”
"Well, we ran out of ice and had to
give them away," which explanation
was greeted with derisive laughter.
He brought home once a long pine
stick on which were two notches, in
dicating the length of a pike taken
one evening just as the sun went
down, and which lasted the camp
J' three days.
"Anybody can make a couple of
; notches in a stick,” said the skeptics
It is very trying. He would return
from an expedition full of enthusiasm
and large claims, only to meet some
alleged friend who would take him
aside and ask, seriously: “Mow,
between you and me, did you catch
Finally, driven to an extremity, he
adopted the scheme which gave him
reputation. He painted An a screen
(he picture of a small house, such as
, ' may be found at any fishing camp.
Against this screen he would hang
Than an AtSdnvIt.
• six-inch fish, the average size of his
catch, and would then take a photo
graph of the fish and the background.
According to the photograph the fish
would reach from the eaves almost to
the ground. The length would be,
apparently, anywhere from four' to
six feet.
When thoy hoot at his claims and
discount his narratives he says:
"Gentlemen, the camera tolls no lies.
Here is a photograph of the monster,
the largest ever taken from the lake.
See for yourselves.”
PACKING TRUNKS FOR A LIVING
An Occupation Which Ought to Suit
Women and Should Fay In Season.
What is really a sensible occupa
tion that could be managed from the
women's exchanges would be that ol'
trunk-packer. In these days of wide
spread summer travel, packing has
come to be a dreaded necessity with
women. The difference between
skilled and unskilled trunk storing
cannot be fully appreciated until the
two are compared. There is an
economy in it that is obvious. It means
fewer trunks, less destruction to con
tents, and, above all, the blissful
relief to bodies and brains taxed to
the last degree in leaving a house in
deserted summer, trim, putting finish
ing touches to the family wardrobe,
looking after the comfort of those
to be left, and all the rest There
was a woman who wrapped
a silk dress skirt last summer around
a jar of grandma’s preserves, which
she could not resist attempting to
bring home with her, who would bet
ter have employed a professional
packer at $1 a trunk. The cleaner’s
bill was SI, and she **

too. The occupation would not be so
laborious' to the professional packer
as it is to the amateur. The con
fidence of knowledge is a great relief
in itself, and the “professional" would
insist upon the trunk being set upon a
rest and all its intended contents
spread out before hei*, serious helps to
packing which the woman trying to
be in half a dozen places at once on
pocking day often ignorea Mean
time, if you must pack your own
trunks, dear sister, spike your hats
and bonnets to the trunk tray with
your hat pins, discard boxes, pack
bdttles only in cork-lined cases that
come for the purpose, carrying them
in a separate bag otherwise and don’t
pack on a damp day near the window
or you’ll find your beautifully starched
muslins and linens limp as a rag when
they are taken out
A Queer Name.
“Fair-play men” was the title given
to a part of Lycoming county, Pa.,
now densely populated and dotted
With prosperous towns and cities. The
proprietary government, with a view
to protecting Indians from intrusion,
had forbidden the survey and settle
ment of the region, but some hard
treated and hard-handed Scotch-Irish
pioneers found their way into the for
bidden territory, and. being outside
the immediate jurisdiction of any
properly constituted tribunal, they
chose three of their number to settle
disputes, and called them fair-play
men. The decision of this tribunal,
especially as to boundaries, were en
forced by the whole community, and
came in time to be respected even by
the courts. When a chief justice of
Pennsylvania asked one of the first
i ..
f .1v '!• . .V .. j ’ r - . '- A
pioneers what were the features of
the fair-play code, the pioneer is re
ported to have answered that since
his honor's court had found its way
into the region fair play had fled and
law had taken its place.
An Arch ot Gold Coins.
A novelty in the way of triumphal
arches was seen when the governor
general of India visited Rangoon not
long back. One structure, very hand
somely decorated to begin with, was
still further enriched by being covered
with gold mohurs and real sovereigns
—valuable coins in India—worth ovei
850,000, each mohur being equal to
fifteen rupees. The coins were stuck
to the red cloth with a glue that had
been specially ^prepared for the pur
pose, and was no doubt sufficiently
strong to keep the gold pieces quite
safe from any attempt to steal them.

they cooked the rain.
And With Msbtnlue *nd Snow Made a
Satin factory Meal.
“Perhaps one of the most peculiarly
prepared luncheons ever laid before
hungry people was one which we had
not Ion- ago, when we were snowed
"p in a theater of a small Western
town," said a theatrical man. “Upon
this night, within the brief interval
after the people left the theater,
while we were dressing to go to our
hotel, a terrific snowstorm such as
you can find only in the West—came
up The snow drifted against our
doors and all about the streets, so
that we had to remain all night in the
theater. Of course, we got hungry,
as actors will sometimes do, and we
began to search for something eat
able.
“We prowled around the property
room, and we were about to give up
in disgust when one of the company
struck a box of beans, which
were used to imitate the sound of
rain. By shaking the box a stage rain
Btorm could be produced. IVe took
this •rain’ as the profession is pleased
to call it, but saw no way of cooking
it. Some one suggested that the
‘thunder’ might be a good thing to
cook it upon,in lieu of nothing better.
The’thunder'was a sheet of tin or iron,
which was shaken to make the roar
of heaven’s artillery. We bent the
•thunder’ so that it would hold the
beaDS, but wore at a loss for means
for producing heat. Our property
man suggested that we use ‘light
ning,’ a powder of lycopodium, used
for making flashes upon the stage,
for the fire. We found quite a lot of
this, and with the addition of some
‘snow’—little bits of paper used to
represent the beautiful—we started
quite a fire and succeeded in cooking
the beans, which we ate with a relish.
Resolving into stage parlance, we
used ‘thunder,’ ‘lightning,’ and ‘snow’
to cook a lunch that consisted of
‘rain.’”
A LUXURY.
It Wu Well That HU Wife Didn't Know
One evening' about 6 o’clock in Mis
souri, when the festive train robber
.was not so rare as he is now, a dust
covered traveler rode up to a cabin on
the bank of a small stream and ac
costed the man of the place, who was
out in front shopping firewood to get
supper with.
“Can I get something to eat here?”
asked the traveler.
“You can’t git much, stranger; but
you can git what the rest uv us gits,"
was the hospitable reply.
“Can’t I get it quick?”
“Soon’s the old woman cooks it;
she’s at it now, and she sent me out
here fer more stove wood.”
“I’m very much obliged to you,”
said the traveler, “but before coming
in I want to tell you that I am a fugi
tive and there is a reward of 31,000 on
my head.” "
The prospective host took a look at
the visitor’s head.
“It’s more’n I’d give,” he said
quietly.
The traveler laughed.
“It mightn’t be if you knew who I
was,” he said.
“One of them train gents, I reckon,’
replied the man at the woodpile as
serenely as if he entertained sucb
angels as a business.
“You’ve guessed it.”
“I WKzn’t guessing, stranger; I
knowed. But git down and come in
and take a wash. I’ll take care uv
your hoss. Don’t say nuthtn’ to the
old woman, though, ’bout who y’air,
fer ef she knowed I wuz indulgin’ in
this sort uv a thousand-dollar
lugshury thar’s no tell in’ what ud
happen; she’s so almighty pertickler
’bout some things. ”
Why He Didn’t KUs Her.
The prosecuting attorney in the
breach of promise case thought he
would make life a burden to the un
fortunate young man who was the
unwilling defendant “Do you mean
to say,” he asked after a lot of embar
rassing questions, “you did not kiss
the plaintiff, to whom you were en
gaged to be married, when you first
6aw her on your return?” “I do ” re
