PLANTING TROUT. One Point on Which the Old Mae Wanted More Light It was the policy of the officers of a certain railroad line in all their adver rising matter to place great stress on the excellence of the trout fishing to be reached by their lines, and in order tc provide the trout it was necessary from time to rime to plant the advertised streams with fry. On one occasion an old gardener named Conelly, who had charge of the station grounds, was sent out with the cans of fry, procured from the state hatchery, and a railroad map marked to show exactly where to plant the tiny fish Conelly returned that night, however, with part of the fry still unplanted. He needed further instructions from the general passenger agent, who bad marked the map. “Say, mister,” said Conelly, scratching hfs perplexed head with one hand and pointing to the can with the other, “shall I plant thim fish wid the tails up or down?” “Why,” shouted the Irascible agent, “you thundering blockhead”— “Aisy, aisy!” murmured Conelly. “Oi’m no such blockhead as ye’d think. The sbpot on the map where ye towld me to plant thim trout Is all blled down to mud. If thim small fish is to go In that stbream st ail, at all, ’tie wan by wan they’ll have to go In, like banes. All I’m askin’ is this, Is It beads up ye’ll have thim, or tails?”— Youth’s Companion. An Expert Accountant. “Do you not think, Miss Smiles,” he pleaded, “that in time you might learn to love me?” “Possibly,” the girl replied. ‘Tf you could render me a statement of what you are worth, Mr. Giles, I might learn to love you. I’m very quick at figures.”—London Mail. The Te«t. “Come in here, I wish to tell you a piece of gossip Mrs. Smith told me.” “Is it good?” “Is it? I had to promise not to tell a soul before she would tel! me.”— Houston Post He Enjoyed !♦. Hoax—Did you really enjoy your stay In Paris? Joax—l came home in the steerage — Boston Record.
