A BARGAIN IN CRABS.
Bow Dr. Tompkloa round Bolt XaM|h
to ruh for Bow All Bl. Life.
“Hike to do a little block bass fish
ing now and then,” sold Dr. Tompkins,
of Penn Yon, “but Pm not one ol those
enthusiastic people who can’t get along
without it. The other' day, though, a
friend of mine came in with a fine catch
of baas, and the sight of them rather put
me inthehnmorof going ont and getting
a lot myself.
“What did yon catch 'em with?" I
asked my frienij.
“Crabs,” he said.
“We call crawfish ’crabs' in Penn
Van. I had heard before that crabs
were good bait for black bass, and think
ing that I might get some fun out of
them as well ns anybody elso I went
over to Lake Kenka outlet to bait. 1
banged around in the creek for three
hours turning up stones and slopping
about in the water knee deep, and suc
ceeded in capturing five littlo crabs.
“ 'Well,' I said to myself, ’that isn’t a
vary big lot of bait to start on a day’s
fishing with, but I guess I won't have
any trouble getting two or three nice
bass, anyhow,'
“I was about [eating the ereek when
I met a small hoy. He was a Penn Ynn
small boy and ho had nerve, and he
hailed me familiarly and said:
“ 'Hullo, mister. What yon after?*
“1 told him I was gathering crabs for
bait, but that they were powerful scarce.
“ ‘What’ll you give mo to get yon
some?’ inquired the small boy.
“I thought it would he a nice thing to
have a conple of dozen or so of crabs, for
I'd want to bo going ont after more bass
the next day, and knowing what a tough
and tedious lime I'd lmd getting only
five, I thought I'd make it worth the boy's
while spending a day tugging and sweat
ing among the stones, and so I said I'd
give him five cents apiece for crabs.
“ ‘How many ’ll I git you? 1 he asked.
“ ‘Oh, all yon can,’ I replied, feeling
that all he could get would certainly be
few enough.
“ ‘AU right!’ he said, and I went np
the lake a mile or so with my fivo crabs
to get some bass for my snpper. I fished
all the rest of the day and never got os
mnch ns a bite. It was supper time
when I pulled for home.
“ ‘The next man that says crabs to
me,’ I said to myself, 'it won't go well
with.’
“After supper I was sitting in my
office, feeling a little sore yet over my
day's fishing, when a knock came to the
door. I opened it, and there stood the
small boy I had hired to gather crabs for
me. I hod forgotten aU about him.
“ ‘Hullo, mister!” he said. ‘I got
some!'
“Crabs were the very last thing I was
hankering after jnst then, bnt of conrse
a bargain waa a bargain.
“ ‘AU right,’ I said. 'Fetch ’em in.’
“The small boy stepped aside and im
mediately appeared again, accompanied
by another smaU boy. Each boy tagged
In a big tobacco pail. Each pail was
fiUed with crabs.
“ 'Great heavens!’ I exclaimed. ‘How
many hays ytm got?*
" ‘There’s two thonsan', mister,’ said
the small boy I had bargained with.
'Bnt we'd ’a’ got a lot more if the pails
had been bigger.'
“Two thousand crabs! If yonll take
the trouble to figure on that you'll find
that at fire cents apiece 2,000 crabs will
come to jnst on even $100, and that was
the price per crab I had bonnd myself to
pay. While those boys had nerve I’ve
an idea that their ideas of financiering
were crude, for after some exceedingly
anxious and apprehensive argument with
them I induced them to compromise on
a basis of labor by the day, and even
then they mado such a good thing ont of
mo that the next man who mentions
crabs to me will stand an excellent
chance of having the price of that day's
work taken ont of his hide. I returned
those crabs to Kenka outlet, and any
ono who wants to may go there and
catch them—if they can."—Louisville
Post.
An Engineer Who Slept.
The writer asked on old engineer the
other day if ho had ever’while running
a locomotive yielded to sleep. "No—
weU, yes." bo answered. “Tliat is, it
wasn’t a sleep, jnst n nodin sudden stop
ping of everything and then an awaken
ing with a start. I was so dead beat that
it seemed to me ns if a thousand pound
weight was pulling my eyelids down.
Of conrse I fought it off, liut for just one
second I gave in once. I waa looking
alicad when suddenly I felt my head go
down with u jerk. I don't think that
that sleep lasted one-tenth of u second,
bnt every sensation left my brain. It
was as it it flashed ont and then back
again. It is a sorry thing," ho added
grimlv, "when engineers go to sleep in
their cabs."—New York Tribune.
Mixed In liar Una
A friend’s Uttle 4-year-old daughter
went to Sunday school a few Sunday*
ago, and waa very mnch impressed by
the exercises. She remembered bits of
some of the hymns, snd for oome days
never tired of singing them over and
over again. She was a trifle irregular In
some pf her “lines,” however; one well
known hymn she began:
There', a land that t> fairer by day,
And by faith wo may m It afire.
Her father, who is a WaU street man
but a good churchman withal, hopes
she is mistaken.—New York Star,
