We were cempling in northern Wis. consin, and one evening after our sup- per of black bass and bacon we lay under the pine trees smoking and tell ing fish stories In which it was always the “bigger bass” that got away. The guide listened with the gravity of a man who knew all about fish storles, and finally he knocked the ashes from his pipe and told us a story. “Once long ago,” he sald, “there was a terrible big trout up in Smith's pool. Hvery fellow who fished in the pool had hooked him one time or an- other, but he always got away, bit off the snooduor something. “I tried to catch him myself a dozen times. One day I was sitting by the pool when, splash, a young robin fluttered out of the nest on a limb above the pool into the water below. In a minute there was a rush, a gleam of yellow, and the odd trout had thrown himself clear out of the water and had swallowed the young robla whole, - “What did 1 do? Well, 1 climbed that tree In short order, got another one of those young robins, balted my hook with It and threw it In just as lightly as I could. In a minute there was another rush, another gleam of yellow, and again the old trout jump- ed clear out of the water as he swal- lowed the robin, and in a minute more I had him hooked. “It was lucky I wasn't fishing with any of this newfangled rigging these boys use and that I wasn’t bothered with a reel to look after, or I would have lost him sure. As it was it took me a devil of a time to get him out. “Good to eat? Great Scott! We didn’t try to eat him. He was so full of hooks we sold him for oid fron, you know." That ended our fish stories for that night.—J. J. A. In ( Sicago Tribune. PRIMITIVE ANCHORS. Stones and Wooden Tubes Filled With Lead First Used, There appear to be two ideas which have led up to the invention of the modern anchqr-first, that of attach ing the vessel by means of a rope or chain to a weight sufficiently heavy to keep the vessel from moving when the ght has sunk to the bottom of the and, that of using a hook instead of or in addition to the welght, as to catch in the bottom. The English word anchor is practical ly the same as the Latin ancora and the Greek angkura, meaning “that which has an angle,” from the root ank, bent. The earliest anchors made on the hook principle probably only bad one fluke instead of two. In the “Sussex Archaell, Coll.” there is an fllustration of what has been surmised to be an anchor made out of the natural forked branch of a tree. It was found with an anclent British canoe at Burpham, Sussex. There Is in the British muse- um an interesting leaden anchor with two flukes bearing a Greek inscrip- tion. Its date Is about 50 B. C., and it was found off the coast of Cyrene. The Invention of the anchor with two flukes is attributed by Pausanius to Midas, by Pliny to Eupalamas and by Strabo to Anacharsis. Diodorus Siculus states that the first anchors were tubes filled with lead, while another classical writer says that before introduction of metal anchors lumps of stone with a hole through middle for the attach ment of the cable were used. The form of the anchors used by the Greeks and Romans is well known from representations on Trajan's col- umn and in the catacombs at Rome as an early Christian symbol. This form does not seem to have changed materially for quite a thousand years, as is shown by the Bayeux tapestry. The Girls Were Still One Ahead. A young and bashful professor was frequently embarrassed by jokes his girl pupils would play oun him. These jokes were so frequent that he decided to punish the next perpetrators, and the result of this decision was that two girls were detained an hour after school and made to work some difficult prob lems as punishment. It was the custom to answer the roll call with quotations, so the following morning, when Miss A's name was called, she rose and, looking straight In the professor's eye, repeated, “With all thy faults I love thee still,” while Miss B.'s quotation was, “The hours | gpend with thee, dear heart, are as a string of pearls to me.” Ladies’ Home Journal. wel Nea, second, 80 w ooden the the Respect at Last. “Briefleigh is, 1 think, one of the greatest lawyers in this state” “Why, I heard you say once that you didn’t consider him any good.” “Ob, that was years ago.
