Stockton ( Civl. ) Mail : "Bill Charters
was a very oriiriiml man that is , it ho
was out of a job he'd devise some way
of his own to procure the wherewithal
to keep alire in the grate and provis
ions in the pantry , " said n man in a
Main street cigar store last night. "Bill
was also fond of fishing. On winter
evenings at homo , if ho had nothing
better to do , ho would haul out his fish
ing tackle and inspect it thoroughly ,
and then , alter making two or three
hooks ho'd the
now-fnnglcd fly , place
outfit back in its box , at the same time
knowing that ho would bo unable
to use his tackle for probably over six
months. ,
P5uBill lived in Boston when I first
know him. That was eighteen or twen
ty years ago. Ho was a tinsmith by
trade. I went up ono night to sco him
concerning some work ho had boon en
gaged on for several days. Bill vws in
the dining room examining his fishing
tackle when I entered. After settling
our tin8tnithin { business ho began explaining -
plaining the different methods used to
catch the various species of the finny
tribe. This hook was line for trout in
the early morning , that brown hackle
was immense at noon when the sun
was shining , and that white mouth fly
was simple perfection in , the evening ,
just about the timctho sun was setting.
"Ono huge batch Oof hooks attracted
my attention. There wore probably
thirty very small oyobooks _ , all sowed
secure to a jogged piece of cloth string
drilling about the size of your hand.
" 'Bill , ' said I , taking the hook-covor-
od cloth in my hand , 'did you catch any
fish with , this arrangement ? '
" 'Ycssir , ' he nnsworedwith a laugh ,
'T caught a sucker on that collection last
fall tlmt weighed ICO pounds. '
" 'Where and how ? ' I asked , hardly
knowingwhat Billmeantas I had never
seen a sucker that weighed moro than 3
or 4 pounds.
' 'Just this way , ' replied Bill. 'Ono
night my wife and I decided to go to the
theater. When wo reached the box
office there was a perfect jam of people.
[ loft my wife near the door while I
struggled bravely to reach the ticket
window. I asked for two dress circle
tickets , and when I put my hand in my
pocket to got the money to nay for them
I discovered my pockot-boolc was gone
'Stolonl' exclaimed I , and retreated.
" 'Mrs. Charters nnd I walked homo.
She felt disappointed ; she wanted to sco
that play. A thought struck mo instant
ly , and just as quickly as possible I put
my plan into execution. Turning my
monoy.pockot inside out I hastily sowed
all the small fish-hooks I had to the in
side of the pocket in such a manner that
when my pocket was shoved back to its
proper position the barbs of the hooks
stood out and pointed downward.
" 'I took Bomo raonov with mo but I
placed it in another pocket and again
wo started tor the theatre. There was
still considerable of a crowd in the
neighborhood of the box ofllco and once
moro I began edging my way through.
I allowed my fish hook money pocket to
take care of Itself.
" 'Just as I was being handed my tick
ets I felt a bite. I attempted to turn
around when I found I had hooked a
very fine looking sucker in the shape of
a well dressed man who wore a shiny
tilo. I paid no attention to his tugging
at my pocket , as I know after ono or
two tuga ho'd quit. When I reached
my wife she said , 'William , who is this
gentleman with you'I ' toldhorho was
a very particular friend of mine.
" 'An officer standing at the door ac
companied my friend and raoat my re
quest , into an adjoining room where I
explained matters. I recovered my lost
pocketbook and greenbacks. It was
keeping company with seven other sim
ilarly situated purses. I had to cut the
pocket out to hand the thief over to the
ollicer , but it was returned to mo after
the doctor succeeded in getting the
hooks out of the fellow's hands ,
" 'Yes , ' concluded Bill , 'ho was the
biggobt sucker I over caught mubt have
weighed nt leabt 1GO pounds. And this
is no llbli btory , cither. ' "
When tho'postmnBtor 4it Richmond
Va. , locked up his ijiifo the other night
lie didn't notice ihal the otlico cat wae
insidu. Th.o cat herbelf hardly noticct ;
the oversight , either , for sljo was too
busy. One would naturally think that
aho would hiivo' been dreadfully lono-
sorno during the long night watches
but feho wasn't * AVlien tho' postmaster
opened the safe npxt morning ho fount
' } .he cat puf riug over a.littc'c of four kit-
ttins , wnjch were'cozily nestling ; in a
ileu of & > GO worth r postage stamps.
