The Gregg-Seager company, wholesale, dealers in iron, steel and heavy hard- ware at 106-108 Washington a v e n u e JN, have sold their business to the Minnesota Iron Store company of 204-210 Second street N. The stockholders of the Gregg-Seager company have disposed of their wholesale iron trade in order that the officers who were conducting the business might de- vote more time elsewhere to the firm of William C.

Fred Warren a boy arersted yesterday for swimming inside the citv limits with- out a bathing suit conducted his oun case in court this morning and after sub- jecting the complaining officer to a rigid cross examination, was acquitted Wai- ren in company with about thirty other bovs was bathing in the river at the up- per end of Nicollet island In the midst of their sport they were surprised by an officer All but two of the boys escaped and the officer, in order not to xeturn empt> handed took them along Warren took tho trouble to bring with him his bathing suit, which he thought might be used as evidence in court He called his witnesses and after calling the officer a liar he proceeded to prove that he nad been out of the water some time when arrested and was dressed and comb- ing his hair preparatory to going out on the street When the defendant closed his argument the city attorney admitted that h© had no case and the boy was dis- missed Warren's friend and chief wit- ness Harry Nelson, admitted his guilt and w a s fined $3 Mr and Mrs. Hovey C Clarke returned to Minneapolis yesterday from a two months' trip abroad Most of their time was spent in London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam "American interests, manufacturing and otherwise/' said Mr Clarke, "are, of course, making great headway abroad, but the thing that appealed to me most is the universal deference shown American trav- elers as compared with those of other nationalities This respect is particularly pronounced at the custom houses The old-time incivility and officiousness of the customs officials disappears the moment he discovers that you are an American They draw the line so fine as to distin- guish now between Americans and Eng- lishmen The American has a magic meaning to them, evidently, which the word English does not convey For in- stance I was repeatedly taken, on gen- eral appearances, for an Englishman The moment I spoke, my nasal twang, or something akin to that, announced my or- igin The officials knew the difference, and when I said simply 'American,' tha* was enough They were all smiles and affability In France the customs official, when I said I was a citizen of hte sister republic, instead of examining, wanted to carry my baggage " ' Ah no, monsieur,' he said, 'eet ees not necessaire Zee Amerlcaine' Mon Dieu' He ees ever'ting' "In Amsterdam I was truly impressed with the greatness of Minneapolis My friend, Tutein-Noltheime, a noted banker, said to me 'You need not tell me about your Minneapolis interests On page 203 of my book on America you will find a complete description with illustrations of your Minneapolis saw mills ' " Then Mr Clark bowed very low and acknowledged that the Amsterdamians weren't so slow after all. SAYS SHE IS HIS WIFE Miss O'Brien Charges Her Alleged Common Law Husband With Non-support. Claude E Dezotell, residing at 1712 First avenue S, was arraigned in the municipal court this morning on a charge of refus- ing to support his common-law wife Ac- cording to the testimony of Miss O Brien, Dezotell induced her to go to La Crosse with him last January, promising that as soon as they had arrived there they would be married Tho witness said that at the time the arrangement was made she was under the influence of morphine and could not remember the entire conversation But she said they went to La Crosse, where they lived at a boarding-house as man and wife under the name of Ellis The* w i t - ness further stated that she was intro- duced to the friends of Dezotell as his wife, but that he never made any arrangements for the marriage ceremony They lived In this manner until April 22 and then re- turned to Minneapolis, Miss O'Brien go- ing to the home of her parents When they parted, Dezotell promised to con- tribute to her support, and at that time he gave her $9 She says she received no additional money until yesterday after- noon, when she asked for money to pay some of ner general expenses, and he gave her 5 cents An occupant of the boarding-house in La Crosse corroborated Miss O Brien's testimony concerning thei** life in that city. Judge Holt continued the case until next Monday, as the evidence of the state did not establish the fact that a common-law marriage had really taken place according to the law of this state. Funds are now being collected to make a fight against payments from the state's internal improvement fund in accordance with the acts adopted by the late legis- lature It will be remembered that the legislators cut this fund into the smallest possible pieces and scattered it broadcast over the state without system None of this money has as yet been paid out, however Behind this movement is the Minnesota Good Roads association, but as this as- sociation has no funds it becomes neces- sary to secure the sinews of war by ap- plying to the interested individuals for private subscriptions President Q W Cooley of the Good Roads association, is confident that there will be enough money on hand with which to take the proceed- ings to the court of last resort for final adjudication It is contended that the action of the legislators in dividing the money of the internal improvement fund in the manner which has prevailed for several sessions of the legislature is illegal The people have formally decided that the state shall have a highway commission for the purpose of supervising all road work in the state and have placed a fund at the disposal of such a commission. The legislature has stead- fastly refused to create a state highway commission and has cut up the internal improvement fund in any old way, but largely for the political advantage of the members of the legislature There was $62,600 voted out of this fund by the last legislature in sums ranging from $100 to $3,000, altho by far the larg- est number was in driblets of from $100 to $400 It is contended by road experts that this sum will be practically wasted except possibly where the money is used in the construction of bridges MONEY FOR AUGSBURG The Free Church Conference Con- tributes $8,000 in an Hour- Foreign Mission Reports.

POLICE ALL ON EDGE EAST HIGH BACCALAUREATE WHERE WERE THE POLICE? Few on Hand to Guard To-day's Band Parade. The surprising negligence of the police department came near breaking up the band parade to day before it had covered half its route Two policemen only headed the paraders—a vanguard worthy of some "turn-out' at a country cross roads Along the line of march no p olicemen could be seen If the marchers had been highway robbers the blue coats could not have taken a more consistent leave of ab- sence No notice was given mtime to clear the road of vehicles The procession was obliged to halt from time to time, that the front ranks might engage in a hand- to-hand struggle with obstructing drivers and chauffeurs ' Call that a parade 9 " asked a man from Duluth ' It looks to me like a game of progressive football " Changes in the Force Will Soon Be Announced. Mayor J C Haynes is not yet readj. to announce the prospective changes in the police department, but there will un- doubtedly be some coming in a few days There are reports that Captains Runge, central precinct, Hein of the north and Bosworth of the east precinct are to re- tire, to be succeeded respectively by for- mer Captain Thomas Coskran, Lieutenant Michael Mealey and Lieutenant Patrick Quealey Friends of former Captain John Land- berg and Inspector John Stavlo are try- ing to land their favorites in the captaincy of the south precinct but are waging no war on Captain George Sinclair Simon McNulty is reported to have hopes of a place on the detective force Rev.

Dr Shutter repeated the Biblical story of the Babylonian king who came to the parting ot the ways and chose bv lot the road to Jerusalem The story typified man's experience in life, except that at the parting of the ways he is constiained by his own will only Dr Shutter hoped that the many students before him would choose the rarrow way thru liff Thev should take their religion into the market place or where\er their secular duties called them "There is no divoice between religion and business At the parting of the ways every one must decide what business what profession must be his life work In that decision the question to be answered is 'What can one do that one loves TO do'' It must be not only a task that one likes, but also a task that brings aonor to God " fet<N WESLEY'S BIRTHDAY It Will Be Celebrated by the Methodists of Minneapolis Next Sunday ^ Minneaoolis Methodists will celebrate the two-hundredth anniversarv of the birth of John Wesley Sunday June 14 The meet- ing will be held in Wesley church at 3 p m Addresses will be delivered by Bish- op C H Fowler of Buffalo, N Y , Bishop I W Joyce of Minneapolis, and Governor Van Sant WHAT HE LOST.

August Zodrow's petition for a license to open a saloon at Mound, Upper Lake Minnetonka, was presented to the county commissioners this morning, but was held on account of notice that a protest would be entertained Several cottagers and residents of the upper lake oppose the granting of a license on the ground that Mound would with a saloon become a fa- vorite resort of the worst element of the lake crowds There is no licensed saloon there at present By a vote of the county commissioners one quarter section has been taken from school section 50, (Long Lake) and added to section 49 Eight acres ha\e been taken from section 91 and added to sec- tion 50 Several citizens from Long Lake appeared before the cc inty commissioners this morning" to protest the first named change, a petition for which was made by J H Winslow The board granted the request notwithstanding fhe objec- tions urged Routine business matters were pushed aside by the Norwegian Lutheran Free churcheds this morning in order to start raising funds for Augsburg seminary Professor Sven Oftedal, who took charge of the subscription list in the absence of the Rev Andreas Helland, treasurer of the seminary, secured ty 000 in about an hour. Over $10,000 is epepected before the convention closes Much attention was given to the work of the Lutheran board of missions, which is supporting several. stations in Mada- gascar The board is in rather sore straits as its income was about $2,000 less than expected and the expenses were great owing to considerable traveling to and from Madagascar by the missionaries The Rev and Mrs Sageng are still in France unable to proceed farther on ac- count of lack of funds The Rev Elias Aas, Lakeville, Minn , and Professor J H Blegen spoke ardently for the cause of the mission work among jthe heathen and it is hoped that with the liberal spirit pre- vailing at this meeting that there will be no lack of Interest when the call comes for means The Lutheran board of missions was authorized to make such arrangements as it deemed best with the United Norwegian Lutheran church regarding the division of the mission field in Madagascar.

It is i question that has often been asked and often answered both ways. Recent extensive investigations in England havp solved the pioblem in a satisfactorj waj An elaboiate series of chemical analyses in the laboratories of the Lancet the oldest medical periodical in the world, show that the oyster sup plies all classes of food substance—proteid car bohydiate, fat and certain mineral salts—but that the percentage of nutiitive material is com paiatively small About foui fifths of the oyster is water tho there is but little more solid matter in mutton or beef, and the meat lacks some of the food mattei of the shellfish Jloieover the fle&h of the oyster is particular ly easj of digestion being largely, in fact, as similated by the substances within itself (oi these reasons, apait from the gastronomic delights of the oyster it Is recommended as a food, especially for invalids with delicate dlges tion It is most easily assimilated when eaten raw It is not generally known that a considerable peicentage Of the mollusk is soluble in various liquids This makes the choice of beverages taken with the 03 stei of importance in its diges tion The best solvent 1B gin with four parts of watei Ihis is in accord with the English custom of drinking gin with ovsters About 42 pei cent of the solid matter Of the shellfish is dissolved in this liquid about 37 7 per cent in chablis and about the same amount in cold watei Oddly enough, stout has no effect on the oyster, and beer only a slight effect Champagne, how ever, is, scientifically, a highly suitable accompa nlment to the dish The rough analysis of the oyster is as fol lows Per » Cent Moisture 77 0 Organic matter 21 4 Mineral matter 16 Total 100 0 The liquor contained in the oyster shell has generally been considered valuable It con- tains almost no nourishment, however, in fact, but 9 per cent of organic matter The edible part of the mollusk consists chiefly of liver, hence its capacity for digesting itself.

"I've went out with a whole lot of gil- lies, an* general just goin' fishin* was enough to take the curse off, but the gang I went out with yesterday needed some- thin' stronger 'n' that.

"There was a Ashing club at a little lake down there," continued Paretic No 29, "and all of the members were what Grover Cleveland calls gentlemen anglers We didn't fish with the idea of bringing in big strings, but we had keen compe- tition to see which one coud land the big- gest ones So one spring the club offered a gold medal for the one who could land the heaviest bass during the year Each fish, according to the regulations govern- ing the contest, must be weighed by the president, who would record the name of the fisherman, the date and the size of the fish "Several members who didn't know what to do with their money added boxes of cigars and cases of wine to the prize Naturally the Competition was spirited with so many useful articles, as well as the medal and the glory, involved Sev- eral pools were made on the result, and from the first the wise ones picked either Judge Jones or old John> Marshall foi the winner. Judge Jones used to average twenty- two hours a day on the water when con- ditions were propitious, and eighteen when the weather was bad He knew more about bait, lines and all sorts of tackle than any h\ing man John Marshall had fished the lake for more than twenty years, and tradition said that he could get into a boat any time and row straight to the spot where the biggest lot of bass was located He was quite as industrious a fisher as the judge and we figured that as each one would catch three times as many' bass in the course of the summer as any other angler, the chances of land- ing the biggest were in their favor. It got along well toward the end of the summer, and the judge was leading with a monster fish whose official weight was recorded at 6 pounds and 13 ounces sTohn Marshall had landed one that tipped the scales at just a trifle over 6 pounds, but his hopes of beating the judge were ack- nowledged to be slim Some others strung along with four-pounders, but the judge's fish was the biggest ever caught in the lake since the club was organized, and he had figured out just how he would have the medal engraved, and had invited sev- eral friends ^to help him drink the wine "I am not much of a fisherman and I had no expectation at any time of being a factor in the competition The best bass I had tak^n was only a trifle o\er three pounds, and I had serious doubts of ever being able to land a fi\e-pounder if I got onp on my hook One hot day, however, when I had been fishing for some hours" without any luck, I was just about to start for the shore, when I struck something that felt like a half-grown sperm whale. My line went whizzing out so fast that the reel fairlj screamed but I managed to check the shark before he got it all out. I played him for three-quarters of an hour before I finally got a net under him ' He certainly was a beaut>, and looked fully as big as the judge s prize-winner. I took up my scales and weighed him. Just five pounds and nine ounces "Then I lifted up my \oice and cried and cursed, to think I had come so near winning and failed Just then I would have given a year's salary if that fish had gone six pounds. Then a thought struck me "When I cairied that fish up to the club- house I could see men coming on the run from all dupctions Before the fish was weighed at least six bets were made that it would go o\ er the judge s mark The j u d g e ttoodV b j affecting indifference, but a good deal worried nevertheless John Marshall was openly gloating, for he pre- ferred to be beaten by me than by the Judge, whom he hated as one can hate a successful rival " 'Six pounds and one ounce,* said the president "Then the judge swore, probably for the first time in ten years Hi>? w h i t e h a i r stood straight up, and he fairly foamed with rage " 'I don t believe it,' he shouted 'The scales are fixed ' " 'If you doubt the accuracy of the offi- cial scales, judge ' said the president stiff- ly, 'you are at liberty to try your own ' "The judge did and his own scales gave me half an ounce more than the official ones The medal was mine, for nothing over five pounds was caught again that year " ' But I thought >ou said the bass only weighed flv e pounds and nine ounces whea you caught him, * said Paretic No 10 "Have you e\er read Mark Twain s story of the Jumping Frog'' asked No 29. "When that fish was weighed at the club there was just six ounces of buckshot in- side him If any one had been sharp enough to turn him upside down my name would have been mud, but they didn't."

Fred Warren a boy arersted yes terday for s w i m m i n g inside the c i tv l imits w i th ­out a bathing suit conducted his o u n case in court this morning and after sub­jec t ing the complaining officer to a rigid cross examinat ion, w a s acquitted W a i -ren in company w i t h about thirty other bovs w a s bathing in the river a t the up­per end of Nicol let island In the midst of their sport they were surprised by an officer All but t w o of the boys escaped and the officer, in order not to xeturn empt> handed took them along

Warren took tho trouble to bring wi th h im his bathing suit , w h i c h he thought might be used a s evidence in court H e called his w i tnes se s and after call ing the officer a liar he proceeded to prove that he nad been out of the water some t ime w h e n arrested and w a s dressed and comb­i n g his hair preparatory to go ing out on the street W h e n the defendant closed h i s argument the c i ty attorney admi t ted t h a t h© had no case and the boy w a s dis ­missed Warren's friend and chief w i t ­nes s Harry Nelson, admit ted his guilt and w a s fined $3

Mr and Mrs. H o v e y C Clarke returned to Minneapolis yes terday from a t w o months ' trip abroad Most of their t ime w a s spent in London, Paris , Berlin and Amsterdam

"American interests , manufactur ing and o t h e r w i s e / ' sa id Mr Clarke, "are, of course, m a k i n g great headway abroad, but the th ing that appealed to me m o s t is the universal deference shown American trav­elers a s compared w i t h those of other nationalit ies This respect i s particularly pronounced a t the cus tom houses The o ld-t ime incivi l i ty and officiousness of the cus toms officials disappears the m o m e n t he discovers that you are a n American T h e y draw the l ine so fine a s t o dist in­guish now be tween Amer icans and E n g ­l ishmen The American has a magic meaning to them, evidently, wh ich the word Engl i sh does not convey For in­s tance I w a s repeatedly taken, on g e n ­eral appearances , for a n Engl i shman The m o m e n t I spoke, m y nasal twang , or someth ing akin t o that, announced m y or­igin The officials k n e w t h e difference, and w h e n I said s imply 'American,' tha* w a s enough T h e y were al l smi les and affability

In France the cus toms official, w h e n I said I w a s a c i t izen of hte s is ter republic, instead of examining, w a n t e d to carry m y baggage

" ' Ah no, monsieur, ' h e said, 'eet ees not necessa ire Zee A m e r l c a i n e ' Mon D i e u ' H e ees e v e r ' t i n g '

"In Amsterdam I w a s truly impressed w i t h the greatness of Minneapolis My friend, Tute in-Nol the ime , a noted banker, said to me 'You need not tell m e about your Minneapolis interests On page 203 of m y book on Amer ica y o u wil l find a complete description w i t h i l lustrations of your Minneapolis s a w mil ls ' "

Then Mr Clark bowed very low and acknowledged that the Amsterdamians weren't so s low after all.

SAYS SHE IS HIS WIFE Miss O'Brien Charges Her Alleged

Common Law Husband With Non-support.

Claude E Dezotel l , res iding a t 1712 F irs t avenue S, w a s arraigned in the municipal court this morning on a charge of re fus­ing to support his common- law wife A c ­cording to the tes t imony of Miss O Brien, Dezotel l induced her t o go to L a Crosse w i t h him last January, promising that a s soon a s they had arrived there they would be married Tho w i t n e s s said that a t the t ime the arrangement w a s made she w a s under the influence of morphine and could not remember the entire conversat ion B u t she sa id they w e n t to La Crosse, where t h e y l ived a t a boarding-house a s m a n and wife under the n a m e of Ell is The* w i t ­ness further s tated that she w a s intro­duced to the friends of Dezotel l a s his wife, but that he never made any arrangements for the marriage ceremony They l ived In th i s manner until April 22 and then re­turned to Minneapolis , Miss O'Brien g o ­ing to the home of her parents W h e n they parted, Dezote l l promised to con­tribute to her support, and a t that t ime he gave her $9 She says she received no addit ional money until yes terday after­noon, w h e n she asked for money t o pay some of ner general expenses , and he g a v e her 5 cents A n occupant of the boarding-house in La Crosse corroborated Miss O Brien's t es t imony concerning thei** life in that city.

J u d g e Holt cont inued the case unti l nex t Monday, a s the evidence of the s ta te did not establ ish the fact tha t a common- law marriage had really taken place according to the law of th is s t a t e .

F u n d s are now being collected to make a fight aga ins t payments from the s tate ' s internal improvement fund in accordance w i t h the ac t s adopted by the late l eg i s ­lature It will be remembered that the legis lators cut th is fund into the smal les t possible pieces and scattered it broadcast over the s t a t e without s y s t e m None of th i s money has a s y e t been paid out, however

Behind this movement is the Minnesota Good Roads associat ion, but a s th is a s ­sociat ion has no funds it becomes n e c e s ­sary to secure the s inews of war by a p ­plying to the interested individuals for private subscriptions Pres ident Q W Cooley of the Good Roads associat ion, is confident that there will be enough money on hand w i t h which to take the proceed­ings to the court of last resort for final adjudicat ion

It is contended that the act ion of the legis lators in dividing the money of the internal improvement fund in the manner which has prevailed for several sess ions of the legislature is illegal The people have formally decided that the s ta te shall have a h ighway commiss ion for the purpose of supervis ing all road work in the s ta te and have placed a fund at the disposal of such a commiss ion. The legislature has s t ead­fast ly refused to create a s ta te h ighway commiss ion and has cut up the internal improvement fund in any old way , but largely for the political advantage of the m e m b e r s of the legislature

There w a s $62,600 voted out of th is fund b y the las t legislature in s u m s ranging from $100 to $3,000, altho by far the larg­es t number w a s in driblets of from $100 to $400 It is contended b y road experts tha t th is sum will be practically w a s t e d except possibly where the money is used in the construction of bridges

Did you evei, when enjovlng a dish of oysters, stop to wondei whether they were really nour Ishment giving or just a delusive delicacy, more foi pleasure than ior profit?

It is i question that has often been asked and often answered both ways.

Recent extensive investigations in England havp solved the pioblem in a satisfactorj waj An elaboiate series of chemical analyses in the laboratories of the Lancet the oldest medical periodical in the world, show that the oyster sup plies all classes of food substance—proteid car bohydiate, fat and certain mineral salts—but that the percentage of nutiitive material is com paiatively small

About foui fifths of the oyster is water tho there is but little more solid matter in mutton or beef, and the meat lacks some of the food mattei of the shellfish

Jloieover the fle&h of the oyster is particular ly easj of digestion being largely, in fact, as similated by the substances within itself

(oi these reasons, apait from the gastronomic delights of the oyster it Is recommended as a food, especially for invalids with delicate dlges tion It is most easily assimilated when eaten raw

It is not generally known that a considerable peicentage Of the mollusk is soluble in various liquids This makes the choice of beverages taken with the 03 stei of importance in its diges tion

The best solvent 1B gin with four parts of watei Ihis is in accord with the English custom of drinking gin with ovsters About 42 pei cent of the solid matter Of the shellfish is dissolved in this liquid about 37 7 per cent in chablis and about the same amount in cold watei

Oddly enough, stout has no effect on the oyster, and beer only a slight effect Champagne, how ever, is, scientifically, a highly suitable accompa nlment to the dish

The rough analysis of the oyster is as fol lows Per

» Cent Moisture 77 0 Organic matter 21 4 Mineral matter 1 6

Total 100 0

The liquor contained in the oyster shell has generally been considered valuable It con­tains almost no nourishment, however, in fact, but 9 per cent of organic matter

The edible part of the mollusk consists chiefly of liver, hence its capacity for digesting itself. When the liver is crushed the hepatic cells "are set free and the glycogen is brought into con­tact with the hepatic ferment, BO that a veritable auto digestion of the liver takes place

"Speaking of fishing," sa id Paret ic N o 29, "reminds m e of a contest that w a s held down in the Kinnikinnick valley some years ago "

The president rapped for s i lence and ordered two rounds a t the expense of Pare t i c N o 13, who had violated Rule N o 3 by taking a mixed drink.

"There w a s a Ashing club a t a l itt le lake down there," continued Paret ic N o 29, "and all of the members were w h a t Grover Cleveland calls gent lemen anglers W e didn't fish wi th the idea of bringing in big strings, but w e had keen compe­tit ion to see which one coud land the big­g e s t ones So one spring the club offered a gold medal for the one who could land the heav ies t bass during the year E a c h fish, according to the regulations govern­ing the contest , m u s t be we ighed by the president, w h o would record the name of the fisherman, the date and the size of the fish

"Several members who didn't know w h a t to do w i t h their money added boxes of c igars and cases of wine to the prize Natural ly the Competition w a s spirited w i t h so m a n y useful articles, as well as the medal and the glory, involved Sev ­eral pools were made on the result, and from the first the wise ones picked either Judge Jones or old John> Marshall foi the winner.

Judge Jones used to average twenty -t w o hours a day on the water when con­dit ions were propitious, and e ighteen w h e n the weather w a s bad H e knew more about bait, l ines and all sorts of tackle than any h \ i n g man John Marshall had fished the lake for more than twenty years , and tradition said that he could ge t into a boat any t ime and row straight to the spot where the biggest lot of bass w a s located H e w a s quite a s industrious a fisher as the judge and we figured that a s each one would catch three t imes a s many' bass in the course of the summer as any other angler, the chances of land­ing the b iggest were in their favor.

It got along well toward the end of the summer, and the judge w a s leading w i t h a monster fish whose official we ight w a s recorded a t 6 pounds and 13 ounces sTohn Marshall had landed one that tipped the scales a t jus t a trifle over 6 pounds, but his hopes of beat ing the judge were ack­nowledged to be slim Some others s trung along wi th four-pounders, but the judge's fish w a s the biggest ever caught in the lake s ince the club w a s organized, and he had figured out jus t how he would have the medal engraved, and had invited s e v ­eral friends ^to help him drink the w i n e

"I a m not much of a fisherman and I had no expectat ion a t a n y t ime of being a

factor in the competit ion The best bass I had tak^n w a s only a trifle o \ e r three pounds, and I had serious doubts of ever being able to land a fi\e-pounder if I go t onp on m y hook One hot day, however, when I had been fishing for some hours" wi thout any luck, I w a s just about to start for the shore, w h e n I struck something that felt l ike a half-grown sperm whale . My line w e n t whizz ing out so fas t that the reel fairlj screamed but I managed to check the shark before he got i t all out. I played him for three-quarters of an hour before I finally go t a net under him

' H e certainly w a s a beaut>, and looked fully a s big a s the judge s prize-winner. I took up m y scales and we ighed him. Just five pounds and nine ounces

"Then I lifted up m y \ o i c e and cried and cursed, to think I had come s o near winning and failed Jus t then I would have g iven a year's salary if that fish had gone s ix pounds. Then a thought struck m e

"When I cairied that fish up to the c lub­house I could see men coming on the run from all dupct ions Before the fish w a s weighed at least s ix bets were made that i t would go o \ er the judge s mark The judge ttoodV b j affecting indifference, but a good deal worried nevertheless John Marshall w a s openly gloating, for he pre­ferred to be beaten by m e than by the Judge, w h o m he hated a s one can hate a successful rival

" 'Six pounds and one ounce,* said the president

"Then the judge swore, probably for the first t ime in ten years Hi>? whi te hair stood s traight up, and he fairly foamed wi th rage

" 'I don t be l ieve it,' he shouted 'The scales are fixed '

" 'If you doubt the accuracy of the offi­cial scales , judge ' said the president stiff­ly, 'you are at l iberty to try your own '

"The judge did and his own scales gave m e half an ounce more than the official ones The medal w a s mine, for nothing over five pounds w a s caught aga in tha t year "

' But I thought >ou said the bass only we ighed flv e pounds and nine ounces w h e a you caught him, * said Paret ic No 10

"Have you e \ e r read Mark Twain s s tory of the Jumping F r o g ' ' asked N o 29. "When that fish w a s weighed a t the club there w a s just s ix ounces of buckshot in­side him If any one had been sharp enough to turn him upside down m y name would have been mud, but they didn't."
