Anglers are warned that the newfish law, which permits fishing with hook and line the year round, is not yet in effect nor will it be until April 15, when Governor Hanly will make ■ a proclamation to that effect. A numj her of fishermen have been indulging I in the sport already, thinking perhaps i that the time was so near that nobody would think anything about the I closed season. A resident of Winona I Lake has received a letter from State Fish and Game Commissioner Sweeney stating that the new law will not be in effect until April 15, and all offenders in the meantime lay themselves liable to arrest.

THE STAGE KISS. What It Really Meant Rather Thar What It Seems to Be. Stage kisses'. No one but an actor or an actress can fully appreciate what they mean. The picture as presented to the audience is very pretty, but the vision which looms up before the eyes of the poor player is something like this: A face covered with a coating of cold cream, which has been powdered over with a thick layer of pearl white or brunette powder, as the case may be. On th« cheeks are daubs of rouge, ■which at that close range In no possible manner suggest, as they do to the audience, the rosy cheeks of a country lassie. Over the eyes is rubbed a little dark blue powder to make them poetical. The underlids are heavily penciled, and a mark extends a quarter of an inch from the eye at the end. This makes them larger. Upon each separate lash is a bead of black cosmetic, which has the effect of making them heavy and long. The cherry lips, which to the audience the hero is eager to press to his own, are to his distorted vision at such close range only a gash of carmine painted into a Cupid’s bow. The actress sees before her a picture even less attractive, for ten chances to one the hero, in addition to his grease | paint, wears a false mustache and Is also “smelly” with tobacco. The glare of the footlights tones down this conglomeration of paint, and at a distance the faces are actually pretty, but upon close inspection they resemble nothing more than a very bad oil painting out I of focus. Taken from this viewpoint, some of the very impassioned kisses featured in plays require no little self sacrifice on the part of the players—Harriet Quimby in Leslie’s Weekly. A UNIQUE CRITICISM. The Shout That Made Remington’s Indian Open His Mouth. Frederic Remington’s studio was quiet. A stillness that betokens work pervaded the atmosphere, and the artist, working away at his canvas, “The , Spirit of War,” silently laid on his colors of the scorching sun, and an Indian chief, raised in his stirrups, shouting to his braves, Inspiring them with courage for the fight Remington had not heard a knock at the studio door or the entrance of an unannounced guest. Nor did he realize that two sharp eyes were scanning his w-ork with that critical examination characteristic of the man who “knows art." Suddenly there burst from the visitor ( such a shout as any Indian chief would have been proud of. Another and another shout echoed; through the studio. Remington, start-! ing back, dropped his brushes and pal-' ette and turned in the direction of the thundering voice. “Ah, bah! My- boy, open his mouth. Make him shout. Make him look it. Open his mouth. So—so.” And the stranger gave vent to two more shouts fit for the plains. It was Gerome, and this was his: method of expression in this special | case. Remington, in accordance with i his advice, "opened his mouth,” and . as a result, instead of the slightly 1 parted lips, there is a face so full of 1 enthusiasm, so expressive of a great heartfelt throb giving vent to a cheer, that when one sees the picture he is prompted to the action of Gerome, who made probably the most unique criticism ever given on one of Remington’s best pictures—Scrap Book. Too Much For Him. “Andrew,” said a devoted wife to her husband, “I want $100.” “A hundred what?” exclaimed the husband. “Dollars," she replied calmly. “What for?” “Oh, a whole lot of things.” “Um—um,” he hesitated. “I guess I shall have to check your extravagant, my dear." “Do,” she smiled, “and make it payable to my order, please.” He collapsed then and there. o There’s only one good 5c cigar—Lady Wayne Seconds —at the Model 82-6 Best cigars on eath —Lady Wayne Seconds. 5c straight at the Model. 826 For a good job of spouting, roofing, copper or galvanized coding, see Thos.

' r About the Limit A newly married couple came In a hotel where we were resting and asked how much It would cost to get two bowls of boiled rice and milk and were Informed that the price was 15 cents per portion. The groom pulled a small package wrapped In a bit of newspaper from his pocket and, opening it, displayed about a double handful of rice, which he said they had gathered from their clothing after the shower which followed the early morning wedding. He Inquired how much would be deducted if they furnished their own rice and upon being informed that no allowance could be made became Indignant and remarked that they would wait until they reached home for their dinner rather than submit to such unfair dealing and left the place. The proprietor said that the young man owned one of the best farms in the town and had established quite a famous reputation locally for economy, although that is not exactly the way he expressed it.—Forest and Stream. Lowell Got His Whacks. In his volume on the practice of diplomacy John W. Foster relates an illuminating anecdote concerning James Russell Lowell when he was our minister at Madrid. At a royal reception Minister Lowell, in plain evening dress, was preceded up the palace stairway by a minister from Central America, gorgeously appareled, wearing a jeweled sword, who was saluted at each landing by the magnificent halberdier with a heavy whack of the battle ax on the marble pavement. As Mr. Lowell . wore no insignia of office, he received no attention. At last, his patriotic blood boiling, he addressed the halberdier in excellent Spanish, “Do you know who I am?” “I don’t.” “Well,” said Mr. Lowell, “I am the minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, the greatest nation on earth, and if you don't whack the next time I pass you I will forget you at Christmas!” And the halberdier whacked thereafter as directed. Child Cynics. A London writer exclaims at thinking “there is really nothing to account for the extraordinary critical mood which the modern child has developed In regard to toyland.” The modern child will simply not make believe. Little boys and girls alike become sticklers for the “correct thing," and if the build of a steamship or a motor car, the cut of a doll's frock or the mysteries the eye does not usually see are not “just like” the real thing there is trouble. It is said that toy i makers have even now to employ sciI entitle experts and French milliners if ■ they hope to pass the critical eyes of ' the “new child.” The fact is the modi ern child Is born a cynic and a sated i little darling. It has no emotions, no desires save to destroy and be lived and breathed for by necessary parents. —Boston Herald. Romance of a Necklace. Some years ago an old Frenchwoman died in a poor part of Dublin, and her little effects were put up for auction. ’ Among other odds and ends was a ' necklace of dirty looking green stones, | which did not attract much attention, i However, a shrewd pair of dealers I thought there might be “money in it” | and decided on purchasing, clubbing together £5 for the purpose. On taking it to a well known jeweler he promptly offered £1,500, which sum they refused and sold the necklace of purest emeralds for £7,000 in London, where Lord Rosebery on his marriage purchased it for something like £20,000. The old Frenchwoman's mother had been attached to the court of France, and the emeralds had once formed part of the crown jewels.—London Answers. A Smooth Villain. “Before we were married,” she complained, “you always engaged a cab when you took me anywhere. Now you think the street car is good enough for me.” “No, my darling, I don't think the street car Is good enough for you. It's because I’m so proud of you. In a cab you would be seen by nobody, while I can show you off to so many people by taking you in a street car.” “You dear! Forgive me if I gave you pain in saying what I did.” —Chicago Record-Herald. The Story of a Charm. A titled English lady has a story of a woman who had a little Japanese charm given her. Every time she wore it some mischance happened, and she generally fell ill. Her son at last took the jewel to the keeper of the Japanese curios in the Paris museum and requested to be informed what the charm represented. “This,” said the expert at once, “is the emblem of sickness.” The woman never wore it again. Translation Called For. Downright Woman—Where did you come from? Classic Tramp—Madam, I castigated my itinerary from the classic Athens of America. D. W.—l asked ye where did you come from? C. T.— I beat my way from Boston.—Baltimore American. A Marked Advantage. Lawyer—l say, doctor, why are you always running us lawyers down? Doctor (dryly)—Well, your profession doesn’t make angels of men, does it? Lawyer—Why, no; you certainly have the advantage of us there, doctor.—lllustrated Bits. Not Thankless. “Well, Harry, what are you doing nowadays?” “Writing for the press.” “Thankless sort of work, ain’t it?” “Bless yonr heart, no! 'Bout everything I write is returned with thanks.”
