The fishermen alone the river at Es sex and Saybreok are now engaged in sturgeon fishing. Few are aware of the methods used to catch this monster of the waters, for a monster it surely is, often weighing 600 pounds or more. The sturgeon fisherman is compelled to use good Judgment and master his prey when oaught, for the fish are des perate as well as powerful. The net is of the same style as an ordinary fish ing seine, the meshes being fourteen Inches square of twenty-seven thread twine. This thread would not be suf> Sclent to hold the fish when caught be cause of its great strength and shape, but no sooner Is it caught In the seine than it becomes entangled in the loose twine and the work of landing him in the fishing boat begins. The fishermen know when the fish Is in the net, for the seino corks begin to sink aiyl dance on the water, as though electrified. Two fishermen in the boat approach this troubled spot, gradually haul In what Is known as the cork line and the mon ster Is raised till the lantern reveals Its position. Then the hatchet is used on its head with repeated blows, after which the fish is allowed to remain sub merged for a time until life is thought to be extinct. But the fishermen are often deceived, for the sturgeon may have been playing possum, as Mr. Dan iels and Mate Brockway, of Hamburg, will testify. They recently had a mid night encounter with a 450-pound stur geon, which, after being safely landed in the boat, came to life In good shape and proceeded to take charge not only of the boat, but of the crew In such a manner that the frightened fishermen started their boat for shore and final ly reached it, but neither was able to tell how, so excited were they. The fish lived two hours and wasted no time; It succeeded in breaking two of the boards and one oar, as well as tearing the sail which was stowed in the forward part of the boat. This fish was considered one of the most desperate kind of the sturgeon species, being known as the “bull nose,” which does not often leave salt for fresh water. In gone-by shad fishing days when a sturgeon got in a seine with a shad it was always sure to liberate the whole catch by tearing a large hole in what is called the “bust.” These fish are always dreaded by the shad fishermen. Their tinr* for visiting these waters is from the mid dle of June to the first of September, HIS BROKEN HEART. The True Story of an Affectionate end Faithful Dog. I wish to add to the many Btories of the fidelity of dogB, an instance that oc curred within my own knowledge and under my own eyes. In my childhood a young man visited my father with a very fine dog, one so highly trained as to seem possessed of almost human intelligence. A friend, going on a hunting excursion, borrowed this dog for a few days, and during this time its master was seized with a sud den and violent Illness, which ended his life in twenty-four hours. When the dog returned, therefore, its ownei was not only dead, but burled. The poor creature sniffed at its master’s clothes and looked all over the house and the premises for him in the moat wistful and pathetic manner. At last, by some Instinct, or by the exquisite keenness of his scent, he found out his master’s grave and stretched himself upon it There he stayed day and night, rarely quitting the spot except for an hour or so, when as would wander about restlessly and wistfully and then return to his sta tion. Finding that he would not 8th; any* where else, we carried him food and a pan of water two or three times a day, but he barely touched either, and after a few weeks he died of a broken heart. We buried him at the foot of his ter’a grave, as was suitable in view of such tender and faithful affection. If any dumb animal deserve Im mortality or be capable of enjoying it, ■iirely that animal is the dog. <d. W. E.

"Miss Laborre,” said Mr. Askam, aft er they had confidentially discussed s number of topics, “my object In call ing upon you this evening is to consult ”ou about a step 1 hope Boon to take In my life. It is a step upward, and 1 regard it as the most momentous one 1 aver contemplated. In short, my deal Miss Laborre, I trust soon to be—to be married,” says the Kansas City World. "Indeed, Mr. Askam!” Miss Laborre said, assuming an Indifferent air, but blushing slightly, “and upon what do you wish to consult me?” “Upon several subjects, my dear Miss Laborre,” answered Mr. Askam, rising from his chair and seating himself be side her,on the sofa. “First, I should like to know whether you consider it Is possible for two people to live com fortably on $3,500 a year.” “Oh, yes, Indeed, Mr. Askam,” Miss Laborre replied, quickly. “If two peo ple love each other that la more than enough.” "I am Indeed delighted to hear you •ny so,” said Mr. Askam fervently. Secondly, do you think that you—that your mother and you, after living here together so long, could bear to be sep arated?" “It wouldn’t be as though we really were separated, living in the same city, you know, Mr. Askam,” returned Miss Laborre, thoughtfully. “Yes, I am sure neither of us would mind it so very much.” “Thdt’s a brave young lady,” cordial ly responded Mr. Askam, patting the back of her hand affectionately, as it lay in her lap, “that’s a brave girl. And, thirdly, do you think a man of 47, my sge. Miss Laborre, too old to get married—especially If there Is little, If any, discrepancy in the ages?” “Oh, oh, you insulting thing!” screamed Miss Laborre, springing to her feet “You know I am not 23.” "Certainly, my dear,” responded the astonished Mr. Askam, mildly, "cer tainly, but your mother must be nearly as old as I am.” “You have been speaking of my mother?” demanded Miss Laborre, tragically. “Of course," said Mr. Askam, looking bewildered, “I thought It only fair, as you are the bread winner, to consult you first Why, who do you think I meant?" HE HAD TO BE CAREFUL. o* a* Would Bo Ml Oat In tha Cold It Bo forgot That Password. From the Washington Star: "What Is the matter?” asked one of Ur. Viv Tlea’ boon companions; “you haven’t taken the pledge, have you?” "No. But I‘m not looking on the wine when It’s red In the cup, just the same.” "Reformed, have you?” "Yep. You’ve heard of a woman’s marrying a man with the Idea of getting him to atop drinking. It doesn’t always work; but it did in my case. My wife Is a stupendously clever woman.” "Made you promise, did she?” "She didn’t have to. When I started down town to-night she said: ’I’ve lost the latch-key, dear, but it won’t make any difference. You ring the bell and I’ll let you in.’ I said, ‘All right’ ‘Only,’ she said, *we’d better agree on some password, so that when you ring I can look out of the window and make sure it isn’t a burglar.’ ‘Of course,’ said I; ’what’ll the password be?’ ‘I have it,' she answered: ‘it mustn’t be too simple. You just say “Irrepressible reprehensibllity” and then I’ll come down and let you in.’ Oentlemen, if I can’t say irrepressible reprehensibllity when I get home I don’t get in, and, moreover. I assume the chances of be ing taken for a housebreaker. I’ve simply got to be careful.” And he went over and resolutely seated himself next to the ice water tank. Their led Drank. John Davis, one of the largest elder makers in Indiana, recently killed thir teen coons under very peculiar circum stances. Mr. Davis’ cider mill is built of wood and stands away from his house. He was awakened {luring the night by a noise in the mill and upon investigation found that thirteen coons were on the inside, drinking cider. He fastened the door and locked them in and went to bed. When he got up the next morning he took the coon dog and several hands and began the killing. He found the coons drunk and under going all stages of jaga The scene was a most peculiar one. They had rolled the barrels over, whieh had been left open to allow the cider to work. They had then drank themselves full of hard cider. Opinion* on Tnut "It is much harder to examine and Judge than to take up opinions on trust; and therefore the far greatest part of the world borrow from others those which they entertain concerning all the affairs of life and death. Hence it pro ceeds that men are so unanimously eager in the pursuit of things, which, far from having any Inherent real good, are varnished o’er with a specious and deceitful gloss, and contain nothing answerable to their appearance. Hence It proceeds on the other hand, that, In those things which are called evils, there is nothing so hard and teivible as the general cry of the world threatens. Thus the multitude has ordained. But the greatest part of their ordinances are abrogated by the wise.”—Bollngbroke, Old Story with Variations.
