A single man stepped from the

The way 1 came to not a

lie was so homely, so dreadfully home-

attracted my attention as soon as he
spoke; and. after 1 heard his voice (it
>\as a 4•good" voice Pink had), 1 took
a fancy to study him.
When the train started I walked
through to see il Ihere was any one
on board I knew, and in the smoker,
with two or three fellow-passengers,
1 again found Pink. He smiled at
me, and said "(iood-eveiling1* in a
pleasant way: so 1 sat down by him
and lit a cigar.
"Ooing West:'" I asked, by way of
opening the conversation.
•Yes," lie answered, promptly;

••Nope; I'm a tenderfoot. 1 reckon,

the same color as his hair and eye-

ternal sort of fashion.
We talked on other subjects for a
while. Then Pink, after a silence of
some minutes, said earnestly, with a
slap of his list on his bony knee:
"All I want all I want is f see all o

It was no mora than I had e.\|ieet-

It was not long until Pink was a
miner, of course, anu a good one. too:
and as such he cordiaiicd for the next
couple of yc:n s. always in the same

One day the man who had been
superintending the property dropped

added, "of course I have nothing to

We went dow n to take a look at the
p "op rty; we arrived in the evening, 1

looked just as 1 expected he would,
barring the deepening of the crows-

It was not long before we hail them
out, but it was too late to save Pink.
His back was broken, and we knew ho
could only live a few hours. We put
him to bed, tenderly, and watched by
him. Once in a while he would come
j out of his unconscious state and talk
queerly. At last, about daybreak, as
I sat looking at him, his eyes opened
suddenly.
! "What day is this?" he asked.

All this he >aid slowly and painful,

FISHING MADE EASY,
An Invautiun That Make* Angling Purely
Automat le.
"The Complete Angler" is not in it,
says the {Sheffield Telegraph's Lon-
don scribe, with "the automatic ang-
! let-," which is the name an ingenious
gentleman has given to his invention
of a method of "fishing made easy."
All that the easy-going angler need
do is to lix his tackle, light his pipe
and wait for results. The tish will
catch itself. The automatic attach-
ment by which this desirable process
' is carried out is an admirably simple
I contrivance.
It is simply a reel of ordinary di-
mensions, fitted with a spring lever,'
can be put in and out of gear at will.
It is adaptable to all kinds of rod
fishing from that of the lordly sal-
mon to that of the socialistic and
revolutionary perch or roach. It re-1
Auoes the chances of losses from
V'ftakage of the line and rods, which
'« always a serious item, particularly
| cn salmon fishing.
The manner of automat ic angling is
Us follows: When set,, the line is held
in tension by a light pressure trigger,
' The moment the fish bites the pull re-
leases the trigger, and allows the line
to pay out as fast as the qickest run-
ning tish can take it The moment
the fish halts for rest the pressure ou
•he trigger ceases, and the process o/
rew inding the line commences.
Should the iish resent this and dart
off again, the automatic angler places
no obstacle in his way. Disport him-
self as long and as frantically as he
may. the moment the fish pauses he
linds himself drawn in. lu the long
I run the mechanical appliance ia bound
to win for in the matter of patience
the fish is simply not there.
Of course when a fish, by setting
the automatic action at work, signals
thai he has ••taken hold. ' the angler
, can throw the automatic gear out of
gear and play with his captive in the
ordinary way. The appliance has
been proved simple and certain in
action and rodsters who have tried it
are enthusiastic. Ladies now indulge
in the "gentle art," and automatic
anglers will enhance the pleasure of
the pastime to them.

Mi> Laverty, an Irish lady, who
lived thirty miles from the American
Richmond, was in the provident habit
of laying in a store of groceries to
last an entire quarter, since she could
not repair to Richmond oftcner than
four times a year tin one of these
pro\ Uioning expeditions she laid in
a store of mutches a disastrous in-
vestment, since not a match would
strike. Wild was her fury, which
kept alight and aglow by her recur-
ring daily trouble to get her fire
alight and aglow without a match.
Her wrath, thus kept at a boiling
point for three months, gave the
sCorek *eper a hot quarter of an hour,
when she burst at last into his store
and thundered down the parcel of
match boxes upon the counter. Hav-
ing waited with deferential patience
until the storm had spent itself, ha
said suavely: Allow me, madam."
