Bsar Lake’s Black Dass.
“The only black bass water I know
of where the black bass are really
black.” said a man who makes fishing
tackle and tries it out on waters al
most everywhere, “is Bear lake, in the
western corner of New York. It lies
high among the hills of Chautauqua
c-onuty. near the Pennsylvania line. It
has no inlet aDd no visible outlet. A
peculiarity of Bear lake is that it has
no shallows. There is no gradual slope
from its shores into deep water, but
they pitch off at angles so acute as to
be almost perpendicular, giving the im
pression that the water of the lake
fills an immense pit of great depth.
The lake is almost round and only a
mile in diameter. Owing to its odd
formation and unusual depth. Bear
lake has the appearance of a vast pool
of black ink. in those depths are black
bass which are said to be Datural to
that water, plentiful, large and full of
fight Black bass elsewhere are not
black at all. but of a dark olive green,
but these Bear lake black bass are
black.”—New York Sun.

French Matches.
What is the explanation of the
French match? Well, on every box
there is printed the legend. “Manufac
tures of State; Contributions Indirect.”
W r hile you are struggling with the
French match you are paying taxes.
I do not know the exact amount of
the revenue raised by the French
match, but a French friend assures
me that the atrocious badness of
French matches is due to the determi
nation of the government to compel
smelters to use ten matches instead of
one. There was once a contractor who
secured the contract for making the
stale matches. He was a conscien
tious contractor. He made good
matches. He made matches that
struck on the box. In consequence
the revenue fell off. The government
was enraged. They warned the con
tractor that his contract would be can
celed unless he forthwith lowered the
quality of his matches. According to
my friend, the object of the contractor
now is to make matches so vile that
the whole population of France is
forced to spend half its time trying to
make them burn.—London Opinion.
Willing, but Not Anxious.
Ministers sometimes observe some
curious phases of human nature among
persons soliciting their services in the
performance of a marriage ceremony.
“Will you take this woman for your
wedded wife?" asked a clergyman of

“Y’es; I’ll take her.” remarked the
man in a half dejected tone, “but,” he
added. wiLh surprising frankness. “I'd
rather it were her sister.”
The Woman Question.
“Yes. 1 have just finished a treatise
on the single tax. Next I shall grap

“Consult me, old fellow. I grapple

“How is that?”
“I am married.”—Satire.

CALL IS SOUNDED
FOR ROOSEVELT
Zoungstown Ohio, November 21
A call for the foremost citizen of the
world, “Theodore Roosevelt,” to
bear the standard of the republican
party in the struggle for the presi
ddney next year, was voiced at toe
banquet of the Garfield Club of the
nineteenth congressional district of
Ohio. John J. Sullivan, former
United States district attorney, was
the speaker who named Colonel
Roosevelt for the nomination of bis
party. His speech was made at the
club’s annual celebration of the an
niversary of the birth of the late
President James A. Garfield, who
attended congress from this district.
Concluding an arraignment of
Mr. Taft as president, Mr. Sullivan
said, “To the president, the repub
lican party and the American peo
ple arc now sounding in bis unwil
ling ears the tocsin of his recall
from power, and are awaiting his
n .urn to private life with open arms
of a hearty welcome.
Answering his own inquiry as to
\v’,io should lead the party ii; 1.912,
; the speaker said;
nr.-take not the prev d'iing
I sentiment of the masses, their eyes
! are turning to war 1 a faithful friend
wiu> has been tried and found tjTUe,
wiiom heartbeats are in rytlim with
the pulse beats uf humanity every
wlicr —the foremost citizen of the
world, Theodore Roosevelt.”
An attack on the present nation
al administration officials was tne
keynote of a speech by Judgeß. M.
Wanamaker of Akron;
“Think” said Judge Wanamaker
“of a great national administration
in this, the twentieth century gath
ering to its arms and having as it’s
chief defenders the Knoxes. Wicker
shams, Wilsons, Lorimers, Balling
ers and McCabes, who were simply
the stool pigeons of the special in
erests.
“Popular government never was
on trial a£ it is today. Progressive
republicans demand that .political
power he placed hack in the hands
of the people; and if it be not
returned through the republican
or democratic party, the new party
of socialism will return not only
that political power hut very large
private and corporate property to
the hands of the people.”

When Bathtubs Were Curiosities.
The British Medical Journal .inserts
that a century back the English were
it dirty people. England can hardly
have been worse than the French, lit
1713 Jean Baptiste de la Salle publish
e l "Lis Regies de la Bieuseance et do
!a Civilla* <,'hretiennes.” a manual tor
the guiduti' o of youth which lias run
into over lily editions and is still in
paint We arc told that 'Tor the sake
of cleanliness if is well to rub the face
every morning with a white towel in
order to remove the dirt. It is not ad
visa Me to wash with water, for this
exposes the face to the chills of winter
and the heats of summer." This pre
cept continued to appear in the mauu
al until the edition of 1782. A similar
work. “La Civiiite Nouvelle.” publish
ed in ldi!7. warns children that "to
wash the face in water Injures the
eyesight, brings on toothaches and
colds and engenders pallor.”—London
Chronicle.
Initials as Pen Names.
Greatness has sometimes disguised
itself under initials. About the middle
of the eighteenth cenlury there was
published a book entitled "The Miscel
laneous Works. Comical and Divert
ing. by T. It. D. J. S. D. O. S. P. 1. 1." j
This pompous array of initials hardly
succeeded in concealing the personality 1
of the Itev. Dr. Jonathan Swift, dean '
of St. Patrick’s, in Ireland. A more
effective disguise was adopted by Ar
thur Sykes, the author of an “Inquiry
into the Meaning of Demonlacks In
the New Testament.” The author '<
takes refuge in initials, styling himself j
“T. r. A. P. O. A. B. I. T. C. O. S." j
And this is the interpretation; "The
Precentor and Prebendary of Alton j
Borealis, in the Church of Salisbury.”— ;
London Standard.
