"I liko to do a little black buns fwh
lng now und then," said Dr. Tompkins,
of Peim Vun, "but Pin not ono of thoso
enthusiastic, js'oplo who can't get along
withont it. The other day, though, a
friend of initio came in with a fino catch
of bass, and the sight of them rather put
niu in the humor of going out und getting
a lot myself.
"What did you eaten 'cm withT I
asked, my friend.
"Crnljs," he said.
"Wo call crawfish 'crabs' In Pnna
Van. I hud heard before that craba
were good bait for block bass, and think
ing tint I might get some fun out of
them as well as anybody else I went
over to Lake Kctika outlet to bait. I
banged around in the creek for three
hours turning up stones and slopping
about in tlm water knoo deep, and suc
ceeded in rupturing fivo little crabs.
" 'Well,' I said to myself, 'that isn't a
very 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 nico
taws, anyhow.'
"I was about leaving the creek when
I met a small boy. He was a Peuu Yuri
small boy and ho had nerve, and hu
hailed me familiarly ami said:
" Hullo, mister. What you after?
"I told iiini I was gathering crabs for
bait, but tliut they were powerful soiree.
" 'What'll you give ine to get you
Borne:' inquired tho small boy.
"I thought it would be a nice thing to
have u couple of down or so of crabs, for
I'd want to be going out after more bass
the next day, and knowing what a tough
and tedious time I'd hud getting oniy
five, I thought I'd make it worth the boy's
while sjM'uding a day tugging and sweat
ing among the stones, and so I said I'd
give him live cents apieco for crabs.
" 'How many '11 1 git yon? ho asked.
" 'Oh, all you can,' I replied, fettling
tlmt all ho could get would certainly be
few enough.
" 'All right!' he said, and I went up
the lake a mile or so with iny five crabs
to get some bass for my supper. I fished
all tho rest of the day and never got as
much as a bite. It was supper time
when I pulled for homo.
" 'The next man that says crabs to
me, I said to myself, 'it won't go well
with.'
"After supir I was sitting in my
office, feeling a littlo sore jet over my
day's fishing, when a knock camo to the
dixjr. I oM iied it, and there stood the
small boy I had hired to gather crabs for
me. I had forgotten all about him.
'Hullo, mister!" he Baid. 'I got
Borne!'
"Crabs were the very last thing I was
hankering after just then, but of course
a bargain was a bargain.
" 'All right,' I said. 'Fetch 'em in.'
"Tho small boy stepped aside and im
mediately appeared again, accompanied
by another small boy. Each boy lugged
in a big tobacco pail. Each pail was
filled with crabs.
" 'Great heavens!' I exclaimed. 'How
many haye you got?'
" 'There's two thousan', mister,' said
the small boy I had bargained with.
'But we'd 'a' got a lot more if the pails
had been bigger.'
"Two thousand crabst If you'll take
tho trouble to figure on that you'll find
that nt fivo cents apiece 2,000 crabs will
coino to just an even $100, and that was
tho price per crab I had bound myself to
pay. While those bbys had nerve Tve
an idea that their ideas of financiering
were crude, for after 6ome exceedingly
anxious and apprehensive argument with
them I induced them to compromise on
a basis of labor by the day, and even
then they made such a good thing out of
me that the next man who mentions
crabs to mo will stand an excellent
chance of having the price of that day's
work taken out of bus hide. I returned
thoso crabs to Kenka outlet, and any
ono who wants to may go there and
catch them -if they can." Louisville

An I'litfiiiocr Who Slept.
The writer asked an old engineer the
other day if ho had ever while running
a locomotive yielded to sleep. "No
well, yes." ho answered. "That is, it
wasn't a sleep, just a nod ; a suddeu 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 courso I fought it off, but for just one
second I gave in once. I was looking
ahead when suddenly I felt my head go
down with a jerk. I don't think that
that sleep lasted one-tenth of a second,
but every Sensation left my brain. . It
was as if it flashed out and then back
again. It is a sorry thing," he added
grimly, "when engineers go to sleep in
their cabs." New York Tribune.
Dow It Got Its Name.
It is said that the town of Howland,
Me., derived its name from the exclama
tion made by an adventurous white mau
who fell in love with and stole awry
from her father's wigwam a young and
beautiful squaw. He was pursued down
the Piscataquis, where he took his sweet
heart into his canoe and boldly paddled
out into the foaming water. In hot pur
suit came the dusky sons of the forest,
and, reaching the banks of the swift
flowing waters, they saw the white
eanup nearing the shore. They set up
cries of rage, w hich continued through
tho night. When these came to his ears
he proudly lifted his head e;ich time and
in classical English cried lack, "Howl
tad be durned! Boston Traveller.
