or fishing in those good old days

For then the fish grew bigger far

'Andhliterally packed the streams—
At least, so father says.

‘They used to yank out halibut
In hundreds from our bays,
And shad ran up the banks to bite—
At least, so father says.
They never thought of using bait
To lure the wily trout,
They reached a bushel basket down
And simply dipped them out,
And in about an hour or two
They’d fill up several drays,
And sow them through the neighborhood-
At least, so father says.
In short. they caught so many fish,
That 'fore their sport was through .
The stream where they were fishing would
Go down a yard or two.
And not an angler failed to come
Home loaded in those days—
A habit father still pursues.
At least, so mother says.

“ T IS so unreasonable—so, so like

Maurice Rennie, at present in a sad-
ly injured frame of mind, looked mood-
ily across the dinner table, and, as an
aside, sharply refused to have his glass
replenished with champagne. He
would brook no alleviation of his mis-
er . '
He not only hugged his grievance,
but insisted on forcing it constantly on
my attention also. I began to be more I
than ever sorry that my friend Dr.
Benison had been unable to accept my
invitation, just as sorry as I was, for :
Maurice’srsake, that Miss Lena Tem-
perton had also called oif at the elev-
enth hour (that is about 7:15 by my
drawing-room clock), leaving me tete- .
a-tete with Maurice, and he at any
rate not too well pleased.
He had been engaged to pretty, smart
Lena Tcmperton just three months.
and up to now things had gone as such
things should, altogether as smoothly
and happily as the most anxious of
mutual friends could desire.
Maurice had practically invited him-‘
self and Lena to dinner with me on this
occasion, and only on Monday (this was
Thursday), when I chanced to meet her '
just entering St. James’ theater, Lena
‘had reminded me of it. I openly shared
Maurice’s surprise, at any rate, for no
real excuse had been contained in that
.hasty note which had arrived from her ,

an hour ago; but I saw no just cause
why all the sex should suffer for Miss l
Lena’s defection.
“Your accusation is
enough, Maurice,” I began.
“I tell you straight, I am not going
to be played with. It is making a
laughing stock of me, and I won’t stand
sweeping
it. I left her after dinner on Monday, I
and she appeared then just as sweet
and as fond of me as she has always
been. She was going with her people
to the theater, and I had an appoint-
ment at the club, but we were to meet ,
again twice between then and now. 3
Tuesday it was at Mrs. Fairbank’s ‘at
home.’ Lena knew very well I only
accepted for the sake of seeing her, I |
had told her enough times. And with-
out a word she calmly stopped away.
She used to think‘ nothing of sending
me two, or even three notes in a day
if occasion arose, but now she could
not spare time, it seems, for a word.”
“Excuse me, Maurice, but you really
will smash that glass—were none of
them there '1” ‘
“Yes, of course; Bessie was, for one.
(Bessie is the third Miss Temperton, ,
just out.) And she was most evidently
avoiding me. But I managed to get
hold of her once for a second, some-
how. I was determined not to be cut
in that barefaced manner."
“What did 'she say ?”
“That Lena couldn’t come, so she
was there instead. Couldn’t come, in-
deed! Why, she went scarlet as she
said it.”
“Bessie is very young,” I pleaded.
“Bessic’e sister apparently isn't,”

“And yesterday?” .

place, after dinner; the old folks were
dining out. But a note came from her

enough—to say she would be unable to

pression that was comparatively hope-
ful. “For I really think you might do
something” (despondency overtook
him again) “if” anyone could,” he
“In what way do you suggest?” I in-
quired, humbly.
“Well, I don’t exactly know,” said
Maurice, “unless you could contrive to
1 see Lena, and get at the bottom of all
I this mystery and tomfoolery from her.”
“Mightn’t you do something of the
sort yourself?"
“Haven’t I been plainly shown I am
not wanted?” he asked. fiercely. “And
by Jove! where I am not wanted you
will never find me.”
His mood was evidently not one to
. yield to remonstrance; so. making the
5 best of a bad job, I promised to see what
I could do, and to let him know as soon
as possible the results of my endeavors.
The first smile I had seen on his face
that evening was the immediate result
of my concession. ’
But at first my efforts were quite un-

New York Butchers Will Raise-Kil-
lions to Attack the “Big Five.”
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—New York re ‘
tail butchers, co-operating with the re-
tailers in the other large 'cities, have de-
cided to fight the beef trust to a finish.
They intend to establish independent
slaughter houses, independent supply sta-
tions and independent distributing sys-i
tems in all parts of the country, com-l
pletely severing their business relations
with the “Big Five,” the Armour,
Swift, Morris, Cudahy and Schwarz-
schild & Sulsberger combination.
Those back of this gigantic enterprise
estimate that they will be able to raise
at once from $15,000;000 to $20,000,000
to carry it out, and they are confident
'- that later they can get as many millions
more as may be necessary.
John D. Rockefeller is named as one
of the capitalists who may put large
sums of mone into the fight to down the ‘
y l The De y Patriot, subsequently incor-
beef trust.
The Chicago packers, it was announced
from that city last night, assert that it
will be impossible for the retailers to
carry out the plan. They declare the
Chicago packers have options on all of
the available cattle on the western
ranges, thus completely cornering the
supply. Men back of the antitrust move-
_ ment, however, hold that it would be im-
ness to come round to see me, if only 3
. dependent slaughter houses in New York
; for a few minutes.
‘ Lena is pleased to consider herself a
_ great admirer ofmine, and I counted
; on her girlish friendship and warm
. heart to help me in the reinstating of
my friend Maurice, in her favor—if she
came. Which she did not.
; “Dreadfully sorry, quite impossible
to come. Please excuse, yours in great'
~ haste.” As Maurice read the words (I
, had much rather he had not, but he in-
sisted), I began to have considerable
doubt as to the safety of my furniture.
“Take m-my advice and don’t have
E any more to do with her,” he stuttered.
- "I don’t intend to, and so I tell you.”
But he did not tell it as a fact calcu-
lated to bring him pleasure, and, with
all due deference to his last expressed
‘ wish, I could not bring myself to let the
breach between them grow to a width
past mending if it lay in my power to
prevent it.
. But I must confess my patience with
Lena’s recent behavior and her strange
' treatment of her lover had reached a
somewhat lo-w ebb when I started for
her home next morning. And I can
: qfiiite believe my expression was war-
: l (e enough to cause the hearty laugh
i with which my old friend, her mother,
greeted me.
“My dear, I am glad to see you. I
was coming to you, but this is much
better. You must excuse my laughing.
It’s the first chance of a good laugh I
have had for days. I have been at my
wits’ ends to 1; now what to do. Is poor
old Maurice really as upset as all that ‘2”
“He is upset to the verge of—”
"Not giving her up— Now don’t say
that. It would break her heart, 1 am
sure.”
, “I don’t know,” I said. I felt I had
; no right to be very hopeful, for Maurice
5 had been extremely vehement, and on
‘ the last occasion altogether averse to
5 taking any3 steps toward a reconciliae
. tion.
“At any rate, he is deeph annoyed,”
3 I went on, “and it is without his knowl-
edge I am here to seek an explanation.”
l “And you shall have it—it is just like '
. you to come. When I heard your knock
‘ I said as much to Lena. She didn’t
want me to see you, but I put my foot
2 down on this nonsense once for all and
1 had my own way.”
I “Was that the secret of the scuffiing
l I heard?”
“Yes, but bless me, here she is! Well,
child, I’m glad you’ve come to your
senses at last, I’m sdre.”
Her head was enveloped in a large
shawl and her pretty face pale and mis-
erable. She flung herself at my feet.
“0, I have been silly, I know! They
' have all been telling me so. But you i
i will forgive me? Maurice will forgive
me?”
It was at that moment-we might
have been rehearsing a stage play, so
! opportune did his entrance appear—
. that Maurice walked in. He couldn‘t
keep it up any longer, be explained to
me afterwards, and had insisted on
; forcing an entrance.
I saw him catch hold of Lena by the
shawl and answer a piercing shriek
from her with a request that she should
cease to be a little donkey and listen to
reason..
3 And then I heard the rest from her
‘ mother in another room. The mystery
invoked a solemn warning against in-
flammable hair restorers.

her the supply.

Landreau, the American postmaster at wood’s Magazine, W110 quoted and 0013‘ ,
Mayaguez, Porto Rico, who is here on his
vacation, saw Secretary of the Treasury
Gage with regard to the financial situa-
tion on the island, especially in reference
to the rate of exchange. He says the Por—
to Ricans refuse to recognize the value of
the peso fixed by this government. Its
value was fixed by Secretary Gage at 60 '
cents, the value of the Porto Rican peso
having fluctuated for years between 45
and 70 cents. The quantity of the coins
is only about 5,000,000 pesos, and the
comparatively small amount of coin in
circulation enables the banks to secure
and hold them at higher figures than the
rate fixed by the United States. Lately
they have exchanged at from 61 to 63.
cents in American currency. Mr. Lan-
dreau suggested that this government re-
coin the pesos, stamping 60 cents on one
side and one peso on the other. Secretary
Gage agreed to take the matter under ad-
visement. This is, however, a subject
with which congress will have to deal.

’. Schuylkill Haven Iron Worli‘s Sold
: While waiting for the carriage at the .
St. James theater the other night, Lena .
had stood just a little too close to her
brother’s lighted cigar, and in a mo-
ment, fanned by the draft, all her pret-
ty hair was in a blaze. She was sur-
rounded directly, and the flames ar-
, rested, but she was terribly shaken and
frightened, although, beyond the loss
of her curly locks, no real damage was
. done.
But it was enough for Lena’s nerves;
! and too much for her faith in her lov-
' er’s affection. She wouldn’t have a wig
ordered, she wouldn’t write or explain,
or even let anyone else do so for her.
Nothing moved her, until Maurice him-
self came to' make light of her fancies,
and proved her, even to herself, to be in
the wrong.
Leno’s hair is nearly long enough
now to do up again, but Maurice still
declares he likes it short best.

a so called practical joke perpetrated 4
by Bryan G. Hughes, who is more or less '
known as 'a “funny man,” a panic was
caused on the Fourth avenue bathing ,
grounds about noon yesterday. The lives
of more than 1,000 persons were imper-
iled. Excited over the finding of a bag
marked and sealed with the stamp of the
United States mint and said to contain
gold, the crowd became frantic. The bag
contained a mass of brass shavings, for
the possession of which a score of bothers
fought. The crowd moved up to the board,

children were thrown down, but fortu-
nately there were no serious accidents.

loading at Philadelphia with supplies for
the destitute in Porto Rico, has been or-

due to the desire of the department to
have the supplies ready for distribution
in Porto Rico with as little delay as pos~
sible, and also because the vessel has
already taken on a good cargo at the
Quaker City. The war department will
send the transport Wright to Baltimore
to receive the relief supplies contributed
by the people of the state of Maryland
