FLED rROM TEMPTATION
rt Briber Waa Getting Close to ThU
Honest ManN Price
nevcral secret service men -were
lunching In a downtown cafe the other
fty when the talk turned to the gen
oral subject of graft and bribery
I am reminded said one of them
xf the story of an individual who was
well known In the west about a decade
ago as a man of unimpeachable hon
esty and sterling integrity And It
wasnt just a belief or a general Im
pression but a matter of cold hard
fact as the circumstances had proved
more than once
It happened that about the time I
mention a big eastern corporation
wjiich handled millions of dollars
worth of goods annually wanted a man
tor a position of the highest trust and
after searching the country over light
ed on the gentleman in question lie
accepted the position delighted with
the honor done him but only held it
for a month when he handed in his
resignation As he had given splendid
satisfaction in the short time he was
pressed by his employers for an ex
planation This he finally gave as fol
lows
I had held this place only three
cays when a well known individual
came to see me and after pledging my
honor to secrecy offered me a bribe of
i0000 to do a certain thing that would
have been faithless to my trust I had
him shown out of the oflice The next
day a representative of his raised the
tendered bribe to 20000 I refused
indignantly Several days later tin
offer was raised to 50000 and some
time after it was increased to 75000
Still I refused with scorn
Last week the well known individ
ual himself again came to see ine and
offered to make the bribe 100000 in
cash and 100000 in stock and I re
fused the offer and resigned
And why did you resign asked
his former employers gazing at him
in admiration
Gentlemen said the man of un
impeachable honesty and sterling in
tegrity my reputation is all I have
There has never been a spot on my
name and bribery and graft and I
have been strangers all my life Such
will continue to be the case Gentle
men I resigned because that last offer
was simply near my price Wash

Chimneys constructed on modern

rooms warm and a curious picture is
extant of three Norman ladies chat

hot water placed between her feet

RED WINGED SEA ROBINS
They Are AmoiiK the Most Curious
Fish Along Our Shores
I suppose the peculiarity which would
be noticed first about the sea robin
grunter or gurnard as he is variously
called would be his clumsy shape
The head Is large and deep in com
parison with the body One of our ob
serving young folks looking at him
alive in his tank of the United States
fish commission Washington would
be apt to exclaim Oh see he has lit
tle hook claws which help him crawl
along Sure enough just in front of
the pectoral or side fins are three little
flngcrlike processes on each side which
are used to stir up weeds and sand
and to rake around among the pebbles
and rout out the small animals upon
which the sea robin feeds in its native
waters While doing this it seems to
be crawling along over the bottom by
hookiug these peculiar claws into the
sand
Sea robins feed on small crabs fish
shrimps and other diminutive animals
which they find among the loose stones
In Europe all the gurnard family of
fishes are eagerly sought as they find
a leady sale in the fish market They
attain a length of two feet and a
weight of eleven pounds Our species
of the sea robin a cousin to the Euro
pean variety is found on our northern
coast and is taken in great numbers
in the pound nets along Vineyard sound
where they spawn during the summer
months
They are much osteemed for the
table being one of the most delicate
of the edible fishes The iiesh is firm
snow white and hard to distinguish
from that of the kinglish The Amer
ican sea robins are fifteen to eighteen
inches long and weigh from one and
one fourth to two pounds When taken
from the water they grunt quite loudly
and if placed on the ground give a
little hop forward of a few inches
grunting as they do so This grunting
sound can be heard quite plainly if
one is in a boat lying quietly in shal
low water near where they are
The head is sheathed with bony
plates and armed with sharp points
which are rather hard to distinguish
at first as they lie quite fiat against It
When caught they erect all their spines
and inflict very painful wounds on
those who try to handle them The
pectoral fins are a little more than halt
as long as the body and may be ex
tended like a fan when in use or fold
ed quite ciose together when on the
bottom thus giving them the name of
butterfly fish
The rays of the tail may also be
much extended to look like a Japanese
fan
The color of this peculiar fish is a
brownish yellow over th back and
sides and cream white below The
pectoral fins are deep orange color
with a blackish marking toward the
tips crossed all over with little dark
brown lines and edged with light yel
low orange color The lower jaw is
a beautiful turquoise blue edged with
a vein of brassy yellow St Nicholas
PlacinKT the Responsibility
A small bay not more than seven or
eight years of age was once sent to
the oflice of a Brooklyn school prin
cipal for some offense The principal
saw that the little fellow had an un
usually straightforward and honest
appearance so he concluded to lead up
to the proper punishment for the young
offender by asking him a few ques
tions
If you were a teacher what would
you do with a boy who acted as you
did this morning in the classroom
he asked
Id send him to the principal
promptly replied the boy
What do you think the principal
ought to do with such a boy contin
ued the questioner
Thats up to you was the reply
The boy escaped punishment School

Giants nnd Dwarfs
In life giants are usually weakmind

rule they do not live long Dwarfs on
the other hand are often nimble witted

An Austrian empress in the seven
teeth century took the whim to round
up all the giants and dwarfs in her
empire and turn them in together Ap
prehension was expressed that the big
ones would terrify the small ones but
it was the other way The giants were
compelled to ask for protection from
the impish tricks of the dwarfs and
they had to be separated before peace
reigned among them Philadelphia
