191 JU THE AMERICUS DAILY TlMES~RECOh DER: FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1891. Jrfcn Quinn, an old Yesterday afternoon, after locking ail the doors, the family left for a few hours’ | visit with some friends in another part 1 of the city. On their return home about dusk they were startled to see Mr. Quinn, dressed in his ordinary wearing apparel, walking up and down the floor of his sey former sleeping room. Several neighbors were called to wit ness the strange spectacle, among whom were Wilber Walker, Mary Wilmer and Mrs. Henry Kirby. Mr. Quinn's ghost came twice to the window, bowed to j people gathered in the street and then eat down in the window. Suddenly every trace of him disap- ; peared. Mr. Spreht and Miss Wilmer j mustered np courage enough to enter J the house and found that not a laulp in | the house would burn. Lights were ob tained from the neighbors and search was made throughout the house. Every- i thing was found securely locked, and there was no trace of any one having en tered. The neighborhood is greatly ex cited over the occurrence.—Cor. Indian apolis Journal. Couldn't S*«* How. Mrs.Bibbs (suspiciously)—“I don’t see how it is that typewriter girl of yours manages to dress better than I can. ’ Mr. Bibbs—“Why, you see, she works by another foj . livjng an ,j vou don’t.”—Xew York Weekly. I’apa—“And now that all that money has been spent in your education, what can you do?” Alice—*‘I can get married.”—Mun- kly. It may be as well once again 1 readers of the necessity for moderation in fishing. Several records of catches glanced over lately show far too many fish killed for the fishermen to honestly lay claim to the title of true sportsmen. Season after season the old disgusting story of the wanton destruction of our game fish is told, while alleged gentle men anglers and sportsmen keep on de stroying fish recklessly, as though they imagined the supply to be inexhaustible. I do not mean to suggest that all anglers are alike guilty. There are plenty of men who know how to kill fish in sea son, and who know enough to cense cast ing when they have enjoyed a reasonable amount of sport. But there are others who appear to measure their pleasure by the number of fish killed, and who think more of being “high hook” than of genuine sportsman ship, and so they take fish as long as fish will nse, though they know that half the victims will never be used. The man \$ho will kill a trout or bass and throw it away to rot among the bushes is no more a true sportsman thau is the man who uses dynamite instead of the legiti mate tackle.—Outing. A New Use for llook Plate*. 1 have a l>ookish acquaintance who has conceived a new and by n6 means a bad nse fur the plates of one of his books. About five years ago he wrote a novel which was quite successful—that is, it sold through three or four editions. Its title would bo perfectly familiar to any literary i>erson were I to print it. For the last year the book has ceased to sell, and as quite a number of copies of the novel wero on hand any further printing would be improbable. This summer my friend built a new summer house, and when the builders reached the fireplace in his study an idea struck him. Ho forthwith opened nego tiations with his publishers ^o sell him the plates of his novel. The deal was consummated, and the author, ns ho will sit before his fire next autumn, will have the pleasure of seeing his entire fireplace made cf tho plates of his book, and it is not such a foolish idea, by long odds.— New York Cor. Chicago Herald. Peony Red 250 Year* Old. In tho yard of the old Foster home stead is a flaming bed of peonies. The bed lias a history. Hundreds of years ago maidens in Germany plucked the gaudy flowers, and in the days when onr forefathers were straggling for suprem acy with the red men Indians used to beg a flower to stick in their topknots. Mr. N. Foster, who was at work in his garden yesterday afternoon, said, point ing with pride to the big red flowers: "Those peonies were brought from Ger many by an ancestor of mine 259 years ago. They were at first planted in the yard of the old Breed house at the cor ner of South and Summer streets. All the Breed family today have flowers from that stock growing in their gar dens. In the early days the Indians used to come to the old Breed homestead and trade a basket of clams for one of the flowers to wear in their hair.”—Lynn (Mass.) Press. A Woman'* Hot Du; Lunch. Nobody will deny that it was a very hot day. It was so hot ut noon that men dispensed with their coats and hats and carried fans. Few persons cared to eat, and the average luncheon served in the down town eating resorts was very light. Barrels of iced tea anti iced cof fee wero drank. A perverse woman, however. Pepped into a “quick luuch” place in Nassau street and calmly or dered hot coflfee—and ice cream. She took a spoonful of each ultimately. The man who sat next to her moved to an other seat, because be said he could not stand the steam from that cup of coffee. —New York Times. Near Lamar, Colo., a little girl of four years wandered to the platform of an express train and was blown off while tho train was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour. A locomotive was sent back, and the searchers found the child at midnight sitting unhurt in a clump of weeds and keeping very still for fear tho Indians would get her. not be exercised in Bridgeton (N.
