$25 00.
ad. No person shall kill, sell, or
have in possession after being killed,
any speckled trout, save only from the
15th day of April to the 15th day of
July, under penalty of $10.00 for each
fish. No person shall take, for sale,
any trout less than five inches long, or
fish in any waters, for three years, in
which brook trout have been planted
by the fish commissioners, when pub
lic notice of said planting has been
given under penalty of $20.00.
J he above extracts fioin the fish
laws of Pennsylvania about cover the

In the last section the words " No
person shall take, for sale, any trout
less than five inches long," etc., show
that one may catch and eat trout five
inches long, but that none of that
length or under dare be bought or sold.

Smiling Tlirongh Tears
Telling his wife he was weary of life,
Isaac Sparr, a wealthy farmer near Al
toona, shot himself to death.
It is wrong to suppose that the most
miserable in this life, and therefore
about the only suicide:, are those who
are poverty-stricken.
With more than enough of this
world's goods either the mind or stom
ach may be so deranged as to make
life not worth living.
While with nothing but a firm re
liance upon God's promises happiness
and cheerfulness unknown to the afflu
ent is quite characteristic of those
whom God's love and guidance causes
to smile through their tears, and they
really enjoy life-
This happy peculiarity of smiling
through tears may be classed among
the mysteries of God's kind providence,
and yet it is a tangible fact that is
easily verified.
The Gist of It.
Had there been no income-tax ad
hering to the tariff bill it would no
doubt have passed long ago. It is this
proposition to tax the rich that has
clogged the wheels of legislation and
thrown labor out of employment from
Maine to California quite as much as
the proposition to reform or revise the
tariff which the rich had fixed up to
suit themselves under Republican ad
ministrations. Had Repnblican adjust
ment of the tariff been what the sover
eign power of this country wants then
we should have had no change, no
discontent because of distress under
the Republican regime, and certainly
no ousting of Republicans in order
that Democrats might reform the tariff
and place an equitable tax upon fabu
ous wealth as a means of raising revenue.
The public Eerant, whether he be
a Senator or a Representative, who
fails and deliberately fails to be at his
post of duty when duty calls is nothing
more nor less than a shirk who don't
begin to earn the $5,000 salary he
receives, to say nothing about his
perquisites which he may multiply by
simply staying from his post of duty
in order to avoid voting and acting as"
his constituents would have him vote
and act. Since reduction of pay is in
older these days, why not commence
with our derelict statesmen who once
managed to live on one-half their
present pay ?
In devising ways and means to get
a quorum in Congress hereafter, the
tellers will count members not res
ponding when their names are called.
The tellers will be chosen by the
Speaker, one from each side of the
llousq. When put to the test the
plan was found to be popular. All
but 47 of the Democrats voted font,
and all the Republicans. The Popu
lists, however, did not record their
votes either way.
A Spring Salad.
An appetizing Spring salad is made
fiom cucumbeis, white onions and
green pepper. Chop the cucumbers,
and to each one of medium size add a
toaspoonful of chopped onion and a
half table-spoonful of chopped green
pepper with the seeds removed. Dress
with French ('.rooming. Serve with fish
or broiled beefsteak.
Mrs. J. II. IIonsNYnicn, ir2 Pacific
Ave., Santa Cruz, Cal., writes:
" When a plrl nt school, In Renitlnff,
Ohio, I lintl a sorcra attack of Virnln

A BAD BEST.
It seems that Jack Best, of the
Coxey brigade, is somewhat of a
misnomer, from the fact that he
reached jail for stealing, not chickens,
but patent medicine. Had our wealthy
anti-tariff reform boomers given Best
security for the requisite $200 bail,
the foul stench of a jail would never
have permeated the wardrobe of Mr.
Best- perhaps. We siy perhaps with
. more or less emphasis in this case,
! because we can't tell for certain, about
. it. Mr. Best, (Coxey's best man for
all we know) gives about the following
version to the sad mishap : From a
! feeling of fellow-kindness he took an
' other young gentleman to sleep with
; mm one nignt, who perhaps would
have been obliged to sleep out under the
broad canopy of heaven. And unforl-
unatcly his bed room was in the im
mediate neighborhood of some of Dr.
Huber's liniment which was stored in
the bath room. No doubt their strict
sense of cleanliness led them into the
bath-room, where the temptation to
steal the liniment got the better of
Best's distressed friend. Somewhat
lika other more important cases re
corded in history, the distressed young
gentleman not only stole the liniment
from the doctor, but out of his kind
ness of heart and full appreciation of
Mr. Best's favor actually gave him a
number of bottles to sell. Mr. Best
then proceeded to cut rates on the
doctor's prices it seems actually selling
the goods as low as five cts. a bottle,
and making money at that. It was
not until Mr. Best discovered that the
liniment was stolen by his bunk mate,
and the iron arm of the law had em
braced him, that he made his humble
confession, which we must admit re
flects somewhat upon the character
and integrity of the bunk mate of Mr.
Best.
MIES POLL 4ED'S AWAED.
In arriving at a verdict of $15,000
for Miss l'ollard it seems the jury took
the usual method of allowing each
juryman to maik down whatever he
thought best. Then by adding the
amounts and dividing by twelve the
result was the amount determined
upon as the jury's verdict.
In commenting upon this mode of
concentrating twelve different conclu
sions into one conclusion or award,
the friends of Mr. Breckinridge are
disposed to criticise it severely from a
legal standpoint, holding that the ver
dict or amount should represent the
views of all the jurors and not be the
result of an accommodation of their
combined views or judgment, which
they hold is thus reached without the
exercise of judgment. Holding that
such a verdict is unfairly gained, they
even claim that a competent nidge
would have dismissed the whole case
on its appearance as an impossible
action, ine veraicc seems to give
pretty general satisfaction to every
body but Breckinridge and his
counsel.
