SOME LIES
Told By A Group of Brunswick
Sportsmen.
A Trout That (Had One- Blind Eye
The Man Who Could (Charm
Frogs With His Fiddle.—
Some Whoppers.
<r
They were having a fish talk in
the hot 1 errridor —where the hotel
was doesen’t matter —and there was
a visible desire in all to tell the best
story.
“I know a drop iu Turtle river,”
said a stout man in the corner, whose
eyes had “the fisherman’s twinkle,”
in which there is a trout named Abe.
When I say ‘is a trout’ I should say
was a trout, forthattrout's skin is
now stuffed and in my dining room.
He weighted eight pounds one and
one-third ounces, and I took him on
a six ounce rod.
“For many years, gentlemen,'’ he
went on, “Abe had defied the pro
wess of the mighty men with the
fishing Hue, and there were some
that cast over him who never knew
defeat before. He used to lie along
side an old log, and the men who
tried for Abe east by the log and
then drew the flies up alongside the
fish. He would always break and
look at the flies, but never strike, and
as his brown back appeared for a
moment the fisher’s heartbeat widly.
So far Abe was a success, and he
was the most profanity provoking
fish I ever knew. Now I felt sure
that the capture of that trout was
not an impossibility fora man with
a good credit at bis bank and a
fair reputation in a horse trade, so I
spent ore day- watching the other
men fail. I then cast my hook to
see what luck I would have. He
struck at once, but 1 lost him. I
said nothing, but sawed wood for
two days. The I tried again, and
I this time 1 had him. It was a gal
lant fight, and after an hour's work
he was on on the grass. I found out
the reasons of the failures.”
“Wfiat was it?’’ asked the gentle
man from Darien.
‘■Abe had only one eye, and I had
taken him on his blind side.”
“A wall eyed trout ain't bad,” be
gan a st)anger from Michigan, “but
I knew a black bass once that could
count.”
‘•Court!" exclaimed the man fron?
Darien.
“Count,” repeated the gentleman
from Michigan gravely. “You know
s we have the big and little mouthed
I bass, and this was a big mouth.
He wasn’t very large, only weighed
six pounds.”
“Do I understand you to say that
a six pound bass is small?” asked
the stout man uneasily.
“We use ’em for br.it, sir,” replied
I the Michigan man firmly. “I do not
know whether you gentlemen have
ever noticed the powers of the num
ber three. The three big waves, the
three days of rain, the three great
accidents. In my country we have
grasshoppers, and if you watch them
jump into the water every thi’-d
“ grasshopper is larger than the other
two. Now this bass used to be found
in a pond I know near the fall of a
stream. You could recognize him
by a white mark onthenoze. If you
stood on the bank and threw in
grasshoppers he rose to the top
every time. I noticed this, and J
wanted tc catch that bass; not for
his size, but for bis arithmetical at
tainments, being myself partial to
mathematics. 1 pitched two grasu
hoppers and saw them taken by
other fish, and then I threw a third,
being carefifl to so far follow nature
and her laws as to have this one of
good size. He took it and with
it roy hook.”
‘•Did this college graduate give
you much play?” asked the stout
man cynically.
“No,” responded the gentleman
from Michigan. -‘My line was strung
and 1 just naturally lifted him out
of the wet.”
“I don’t know much about fish in’”
sail! a new citizen late of Arizona,
I’ve I ren knockin’ around thetorritory
i for the last fifteen years, and in many
1 i places you're lucky to get water to
y/rhli in, let alone fishin'. But I
'know souiethin’’bout frogs. ’Bout
7'l and 'SO when the nines wer
boomin', frogs was in good demand
in Tucson and Tombstone, and a
<-atin’ Frenchman calle-l French
re- iiu-l a ranch out near Arivncu
whar he raised nothin’ but frogs. It'
was amusin’ to see ’em when Frencby
got his fiddle an’ played a little
: French tune. They'd hop all around
just like dancin'," and when he
stop;.el and said ‘Baba,’ or somethin
in French, an’ raised his bow to soil
er beat time, one big feller would
croak. Frencby used to say this one
sang, but I can't swear that I heard
him myself.”
“You’ve done very well sir,” said
the stout man admiringly.
“I am sorry gentlemen," said the
1 man from Darien; “my life has been
- s > singularly devoid of incident
that I am unable to relate anv little
adventure of-my own which would
1 vie with those which you ba e to|d
so well. However my wife’s grand
father followed the sea, and whaling
was his passion. It is relate 1 of
him that on one occasion a sperm
whale stove-in the boat in which he
was, and the old gentleman was cast
into the sea,*in his confusion he
swam direct to the whale, aud caught
hold of one of the lips of the animal.
“Seeing his situation was despe
rate, and being naturally much
alarmed, he began to whistle, the
tune being, I believe, ‘Yankee
Doodle.’ At once that monster of
the deep ceased his furious lashing,
and an expression of extreme content
showed itself in the lines of his
countenance. He even rolled gently
from side to side.”
“In time with the music I sup
pose,” said the stout man.
“Exactly in time with the music.
My wife's grandfather, being patri
otic, was much gratified at this evi
dence of appreciation, and left the
whale with regret when the second
mate rowed up near him.”
“Gentlemen,” said the stout man,
“the drinks are on me. 1 shall be
careful in the future to whom I in
troduce Abe.”
ONE-THIRTY
A Thrilling Sketch From The Note
Book of a Traveler.
Written for The I’oht,
The night Bi unswick and Western
lubricated lightning ‘Cracker.” flies
with an amazing virtiginousness,
engulfing space, between Waycross
and Albany, meteor like shoots by
some settlement and the porter lisps
“Law paw haw!” Time table says
“Alapaha.” The front door of the
coach opens with a clang, dust and
smoke, laden with a fat lightwood
odor our olfactories tickle. Our optics
slumber-weighted, rest on the grace
ful figure of conductor Pride, brass
buttoned up in his blue uniform, his
green tinted luminary resting on his
arm. From passenger to passenger
he glides. Click, click, his punch
says as it gives its triple bites to
card, coupon, mileage tickets and
passes He reaches a double seat
upon which is discerned a crouching
object all in a heap. “Tickets!”
shouts Pride in h's sweet tenor voice.
F.-om theinuermost cushion’s bundle
a shrill falsetto shrieks —“137! 137!”
Tea kates! tea-kates! sings the con
ductor, his voice assuming a basso
robusto tone. “137, 137,” the enig
matic package again yells. Hercu
lean Pride deliberate raises the
object, a gray linen duster unfolds,
bead, legs and arms develope, squirm
ing like a crustageos tenacle, when
lilted from its watery abode; fancy
how grotesque. “137 be hanged,
ticket or fare!” says the conductor.
’ “But that » the number of my annual
every conductor knows it ontbe line.”
137 stutters, as he tremblingly hands
it to the knight of the punch, who
> glances at it and with a shoulder
shrug aud lithe step crosses to the I
followingcoacu. 137 mutters threats,
> readjusts his duster and resumes a
■ recumbent posture, using four seats
f on a deadhead pass, and wondering
i how Idiotic of the conductor not to
be able to see that he was a privil-
J eged specimen of humanity. Dys
i- pepsia precludes our liiliarity, bqt
not so with the carlouj of passenger®
i whose faces are distorted in uproar
; ious laughter. Across the aisle an
old cracker woman on the home
stretch of life, in her merriment
, shows her satlronhued shaky incisives
and molars grasping her snulfstluk

A BOOMING TOWN,
The Phenomenal Growth of a City in
Kentucky.
“11'1 was a young man,” remarked
a shrewd Brunswick man this morn
ing, “and wanted io leave Brunswick
1 wouldjgo to Middleborough, Ky., to
morrow and enter the real estate
business. No word shorter than
phenomenal, will describe thegiowth
of that town. It is a bigger thing
than an elephant for its age.
"Fifteen mouthsago there were not
a dozen people in the place. Now it
has a population of 6,000. An En
glish syndicate worth $20,000,000 is
building the town. They have spent
$20,000 in straightening a [creek
which runs through it, and encir
cled it with a seventeen mile dummy
line. They have put up electric cars
and ekctric lights and have about
completed eleven furnaces. Busi
ness buildings costing less than $lO,
000 are not allowed te. be bnilt—and
lots are soiling for as much as $450
a front foot. The bondfof the circu
lar dummy line have beeen gobbled
up at 115. The syndicate owns 10,
000 acres iu and around the place
and have already realized a million
and a half dollars on the investment.
Mr. Arthur the manage, of the
syndicate, gets $35,000 a year for bis
services, and last Christmas they'
made him a present of $50,000 mind,
I haven’t told you half about this
fifteen month j old town. But if I was
a young man—however, you’ve heard
that before. I neglected to say,
though, that in two years the pay
, roll of the syndicate will include 8,
I 000 workmen, which means a ‘popu
lation of 4o,000.”
