Fishing Season Open.
The fishing season, for all kinds
of fish except bass-opened May 1.
The season for bass will open
May 29, instead of June 1, to ac
commodate those who desire to
fish on Memorial day.
S. P. Pullerton, executive agent
of the state game and fish com
mission, says that lakes and
streams are in good condition
and that fishing promises to be
excellent. More than 120,000,000
fish were placed in the lakes and
streams last year and the com
mission contemplated stocking a
larger number this season. Eight
men are working Tower, St. Lou
is county, securing pike eggs.
The season for spearing pick
erel, red horse, suckers and bull
heads will close today in accord
ance with a law passed at the re
cent session of the legislature.
Heretofore, spearing was pro
hibited the year around. Spears,
under the new law* may be used
for these fish between March 15
and May 1.
As It Will Be Soon.
The man of business saw that
everything was running smoothly, and
Jhen reached for his hat. He had a
ground-floor office in a tug building.
"Shall I say you'll be back soon If
any one calls?" asked the chief clerk.
"Well, I've got to have about five
minutes' conversation with Dudley,"
replied the mn of business, "and you
know where his office is. If I catch an
express elevator I'll be back in about
two hours, but if I have to take a local
it will be afternoon before you see me
again:"
"Naturally," replied the chief clerk.
"He's en the sixty-eighth floor of this
building, I believ*."
"In the Garbage of a monk."
TJiey were conversing together on
1 West Madison street car, says the
Chicago Iri'cer Ocean. One was young
and pretty the other short, plump,
-nd clearly past 40. Between the stops
yf the cable train snatches of what
they said could be heard.
juss know I never will fall in
love," was the last part of a sentence
uttered by the pretty girl as the clat
tering of the car ceased at one of the
crossings.
solutely no doubt, but that you
will, my dear," was next heard from
she who was short and plump. The
car was delayed by a broken wagon
at this juncture, so that the rt*'st of
what the plump one said has been
preserved for posterity. Here it is:
"Now I used to think the same way
until one evening at a masquerade
ball I met my future husband. I just
loved him right on sight. Why, I
couldn't help it, he looked so hand
some. He was clother1
in the garbage
of a monk, and I rushed up to him
and said, 'Exit homo.'
Gave Black Undue Praise.
The story that the late William
Black liked best to tell, says Harper's,
was that of the luncheon given to him
by a small party of American admir
ers just before he left New Y6rk on
his rettfrh voyage. A certain Ameri
can author of venerable age, whose ac
quaintance with English literature
was probably more extensive than ex
act, presided at this entertainment,
and in proposing Black's health, after
referring to him as "the greatest of
living novelists," he called upon the
company to drink to their guest, "WP-
liam Black, the author of 'Lorna
Doone!'" It was characteristic of
Black's good sense and freedom from
vanity that in after years he not only
delighted to tell the story in private,
but repeated it once, at least, in pub
lic.
Magoatet Had to Watt.
President O. R. Harriman of the
Southern Pacific railroad, is no re
specter of persons. One day he had
appointments^at his office with Mil
lionaires -lohiOl^ Mackey and H. E.
Huntington, buRbefore they arrived
Mr. Harriman wsMfengaged in conver
sation in his privateitece with a third
person who had entered a few minutes
before the magnates of finance.
Those gentlemen were therefore com
pelled to wait until the close of the
pending interview, which lasted a
full hour. They were furious, but
their. business was important and
they had no recourse but to wait. They
stormed a^little after they had gained
access to tne presence they sought,
