ONLY A RIVER WHITEFISH.
Story of Man Who Know Fish When
He Saw Them, Also a Rail
road “Ad.”
William C. Harris, angling ed
itor of Outing, and rightly called
the Izaak Walton of America, is a
man who can come pretty near to
telling exactly what fish you will
find in Blank brook, in Blank
township of Blank county, Idaho,
Texas or Rhode Island. New fish
es and new facts about them, he
loves as a miser loves gold, only
he does not hoard them, but gath
ers them to give out again.
One day Harris chanced to be in
j St. Paul. He was talking with
! General Passenger Agent Charley
! Fee, wHio said Harris should go to
Montana to catch grayling in a
stream at that time much adver
tised.
Harris said there were no gray
ling in the stream. The railroad
man laughed at him as a New
Yorker who pretended to know
more about a certain Montana
river than a man who had fished it.
The dispute waxed warm. Har
ris was due in New York on a
certain day, and by taking the first
train west he could have six hours
on the stream and still keep his en
gagement. in an nuur» uc
the stream with a local represen
tative of the railroad. He waded
in, made one cast, and was fast to
a silvery thing that tore about
mightily like that of a grayling.
It came to the net, and the loeftl
representative of the railroad
fairly shouted:
“There, there; it’s a grayling!”
“Pack this carefully in moss,”
said Harris. “Send it to your gen
eral passenger agent.” Then he
walked to the telegraph office and
wired that official:
“Am sending one of your gray
ling. It’s an infernal old river
whitefish.”
Then he took the train for New
York and kept his engagement.
A MAN AND HIS SHOES.
The Thicker the Soles He Wears the
Larger the City from Which
He Hails.
“You can almost tell from
what country a man comes by thp
weight of his shoes,” said J. W •
Davy, of Chicago, who represents
a shoe company, to a Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter. “You might
not believe it,” he continued, “but
the thicker the soles of his shoes
the larger the city from which he
comes. In New York it is almost
a fad, and the soles of the shoes
there are exceedingly heavy.
They arealmost as heavy in Chica
go. Men there wear shoes to pro
tect their feet. They have not
time enough, it seems, to bother
with rubbers. So they make one
pair of shoes do the work for all
kinds of weather. Here in Mil
waukee and in other cities of this
size, I notice, the men wear light
shoes and rubbers. I suppose
they have time enough to wear the
overshoes. Up in the country I
find that in many places leather
boots are not worn at all for sev
eral of the winter months. They j
wear heavy socks and then put J
rubber overshoes over these.”
German “Sunday Schools.”
In England the term “Sunday
school” has a definite meaning,
and is exclusively used to denote
a place of religious teaching. In ;
Germany, however, the race for
commercial supremacy has led to
the establishment of Sunday;
schools at which mechanics are
given practical instruction in
their trades. There is, for exam
ple, a school for masons, at which
' the students, many of them me
I chanics who* work during the
week, spend several hours on Sun
day morning in learning the high
er branches of their craft. Sim
ilarly there are Sunday schools for
tailors, Ironmongers, bookbind
ers, and followers of other trades
—even barbers and blacksmiths.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano ia the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the founda*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reajhed the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the, zultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
jlalm to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money. to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of olher of Ihe
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, qualily considered
