He Had Been Fishing. BUT FOR sons REASON HE DID NOT The TRENT VALLEY NAVIGATION 00., DISPLAY A LARGE STRING. He was an honest laced young man who had been off for a day’s fishing 'and was returning home with a rea- sonably fine string and much self satis- faction. Hc had scarcely boarded the sneet car, however, when a. passenger ":Vltl) a deep voice growled out : “ Yes; I was out fishing myself one day last week. I brought home 20 pounds. I bought ’em of a regular 'fish- ei man ! ” A giggle was heard here and there among the passengers, and then a man with a squeaky voice observed : " I’ve played the game myself, but it was years ago, when I was a. bad man. I bought ’em from the fisherman and brought"em down home and lied about ’emâ€"lied in the most barefaced and shameful manner ! Yes, gentlemen, that is the one regret of my life l ” The young man with the fish was ~red faced and uncomfortable, and as he was hitching around a man with a wart on his nose called out in a loud voice : “ Gentlemen, I don’t deny that I love whiskey, but I am not a liar l I get drunk and smash things, but I rever- ence the truth. Before I would lie about fish I would torture myself at the stakel ” Eight or ten passengers clapped their hands in applause, and then a hatchet- faced young man rolled up his eyes and exclaimed: “ They not only lie to the public, but go home and lie to their poor, inno- Ct at wives and trusting children! ” ' The honestv faced young man saw that all were against him, and .he de- cided to leave the car. As he rose up to motion to the conductor, a fat man who had been drovvsiug roiised up and said: ‘ “ Gentlemen, I date. my downfall from that one thingâ€"from the first lie I told about fish. I hired a. man to kill me a dozen with a crowbar, and then I brought ’ em home and swore I caught ’61:) on my own book and line. I lied about itâ€"deliberately and .maliciously liedâ€"and Providence”â€" “ Alloff! ’, shouted the conductor as the car stopped. The young man with the injured feel- ing got down and pulled his fish after him, and the fat man continued : “And Providence punished me for .it. Gentlemen, if I was to live my life over again, if I could only be set back 30 years, I might rob and steal and cheat and even do murder, but I would not sneak off for the day and then re- turn at night and buy fish at the wharf and take ’em home to- my confiding wife and "- And the car rolled on, and the young man with the perch and bass and fish- },ole stood in the gloaming and looked after it and clinched his hands and gritted his teeth and whispered cuss words, and an hour later a pedestrian stumbled ovor something on the side- walk and got up to rub his knees and elbows‘and called out in amazement: “ Well,-I’ll be hanged if some liar hasn’t stopped here to lie and gone away and left his fish behind ! ” M. QUAD. She’d Had Enough. There was a colored baptizing at Sandy Bottom, Billville. The last con- vert to go under the water was an. old colored woman, who all the while had been seated in a. rickety buggy drawn by an ancient mule who had been through the civil war. She came up out of the water all right, but after proceeding a short distance on her way home the mule became unmanageable and upset the buggy in the middle of a deep creek. The old woman, with drenched garments, clung to a “foot log” just as the parson who had recent- ly baptized her rode up. VH0 heard her swearing at the retrac- tory mule in vigorous terms; then, tak- inc: her in his own bugg and driving to dry.land, he said : 5‘ Sister Ca’line. you hez done 103’ all de salvation what come tcr you by d-u i’ust baptism ; so you must stop right heah en be baptized over ergin.” “ NO, suh ! ” was the reply. “I ain't dwine in dat water no nxo'l Didn’t dat ole mule baptize me dc secou’ time ? ”_ 4». Smart Alex. A man being About to die summoned his four Sons to his side and said : " My sons, I will leave to John one- third of my estate. to Alex one-fifth, to James One-half and to l‘homas one- iturth, and thus you will all Share Equally.” John and James and Thomas took "P: per and Pencil and began figuring, but Alex took his Hat and started out. “ Where are you going? ” the other '1 hree asked. “ Do you not Intcnd fig~ uting out the Problem ? ” “Not much," said Alex. “ I am Go- ing for a Lawyer to break the Will."
