A TRUE FISH STORY. They were out under th* “H<m •y Swifl tree”, Jack. Ted and 01-; lie, p oking up the npplos that had fallen off in the night and eating all they could, when they spied Grandma Dane coniine up arrow the orchard with her apron over her head. She's been to carry some quince jeily over to Mrs. Jenks.a.explain ed Jack. beeaus® her little girl’s! got the typhoid fever. I gueiashe is better though. For the jelly glass | was empty, and Grandma Lane | looked smiling. Yrs, and Jenny i» as hungry aa a little bear, she said, and the doe- i tor save she may eat a bit of broil ed trout. I wonder Why of course we can. cried Ted, guessing in an instant what Grand ma meant. \Ve'd like to first rate We’ll go over to the West branch i right straight off. M*. too? begged Ollie. Please | Jack. Oh, no! said Jack, and No, in-J deed? laughed Ted. You'd sure to I talk and scare all the Esh . Besides , we’ve onlv g it one pole that’s good for a»ything, and we’ll have to •take turns fishing ourselves. So they rushed around ike small whirlwinds to dig a boxful of earth- . worms, and be sure their on* real was in working order, and hunt up the old dip net to iit-ejn case a very (. large fish should be hooked. Then away they went an 1 Ollie was left | lamenting. If he hadn't had grand ma to comfort U'm, I don’t know what he would havv done. She gave him a jelly tart, and he could | aot cry with hie mouth full, you know; and whi’e he was eating it she filed a bit ot wire and bent it in the shape of a hook, and fasten vd it to a piece of strong twine, and tied the twine to one of her round curtaia sticks. There, said she, now you can go over to the pasture brook and fi«h to your heart’s content, dearie. She put up a lunch for him, too, just like the one she had given to Jack and Ted, only not quite so much of it. Isn't a grandma worth having? Ollie twinkled off the last tear in a hurry. Oh thank you gramma I he cried. He never forgot that! am glad to say, no matter how ft 1 of de.ight he was. He didn t dig earthworms for bait, because he could not bear to hurt them ; but grandma cut a bb of salt pork lor him and put a drop of anise eil on it, whicn sue said would be sure to catch a iisli if there was one in the brook. Privately, i think she was afraid here wasn't but she would not say so. Ollie had began to be afraid so too, as era while He went aw»y up across the pasture to tue woods, I and followed the brook down, just ' as grandma had told him, li-hing all the way and stopping every now and then to eat a mite ot his lunch, because he didn’t want to take time to eat it all at once. It was a very small brook, so narrow ia plac s where the water I was deepest that he could almost Step am oss it. Just above the road, br.dge it broadened out quite respectably, and then d upped with a musical tinkle ov< r a great, sunken log, and formed a pool under the edge of the bridge, which was made ot logs, too, and covered with earth. It was exactly the place for trout, if Ollie had but known : as it was, he went clown on Ins knees at one end ot the grassy log. and dropped his hook without a ’bought pf what might happen.

And she was glad enough. As for Grandpa . Lane, he said it wa-s worth a dol I lar. and got out the big steelyards. ; • “Thirteen ounces and alm st a quarter, he announced presently “I declare, I didn’t know there was such a fish in the brook. It’ll 'be worth telling the folks aboul when you go home. It was worth telling Jack and led about, Ollie thought, his heart brimful of pride and joy. I hey came up the lane pretty soon, with disappointed faces and a string of red-fins. “Jack hook -d one trout, led ex ; plained, “but it got off before he [could reel it in.

And Grandma Lane had the very same opinion. Ada Carleton Stoddard. i THE DOUBTER I SUCCUMBED. Once when I was publishing a I paper in Seattle I convinced a ; man in a most emphatic way that it paid a man to adver ise. He ■ was a fairly prosperous merchant, ! and 1 tried for a long time ’o get ’I him to insert an advertisement in ' my paper. Oh, it’s no use. he would say, I ! never read the advertisements in a paper and no one else does. I be lieve in advertising but in a way’ that will force itself on the public. Then it pays. But in a newspaper —pshaw ! Everybody who reads a newspaper dodges the advertising pages as if ’hey were poison. Well, sail 1, if 1 can convince vou that people do read the adver ti ing pages of my paper, you will 1 advertise? Os court-® I will. I advertise I wherever I think it will do any g od.’ i “The next day I ran the follow ing line in the lightest-faced agate in the office and stuck it in the ■ most obscure corner ot the pap< r between a couple of patent medi cine ads: “ -What is Cohen going to do about it?’ “The next day so many peeple annoyed him by asking what that; I line meant that he begged me t*> ; explain the matter in my next issue. I promised to do it: if h* . would let rn® write the explanation, and stand to it. He agreed, and 1 w on: ‘ ‘He is going to advertise, of course.” And he did.” IHE HUSFLEROF ROME SUNDAY, JANUARY. 19 1896. THREE GOOD ONES. An Editcr died and slowly wei ded his way down below.

Several amusing stories are told regarding two members of the House by the name of Henry, one I from Indiana and the other from Connec icut and a newspaper cor respondent ot the same name. James S. Henry is the Washing ton correspondent of the I’itt-burg 1 Dispatch, and is also c<> n c ed with the beieau of the Philadel phia Press. He has received a good deal of inside information from the ‘ two Hen/vs who occupy seats in the lower IL use of Congress. The Indiana Henry chatted freely the other day with Mr. Henry, the correspondent, about the make up of Mr. Reed’s con.mittees. He was of course, under the impressi n that He was talking to Mr. Henry of Conectieut. Mr. Henry, however, has a con science, and the information thus given him was never made public. He was considerably amused that his namesake from Indiana did not discover, during the long tbvt, that he was a newspaper man an 1 not a Congressman.
