Over the Atriatirm of lege,
An• accidental eXchange or overcoats
at a local restaurant •one evening ' re-
cently recalled a queer story to an old
lawyer who Was dining at the lathi-
er side of tbe room. "One evening in
the early seventies," he said, "a garcon
hurrying through a crowded cefe not
very 'timer= here knocked dowetwo hats
that had been hanging above a ample oe
°verge:oats on a wall rack. Ile picked
them up and restored them to the pegs
and by that simple act condemned a very
estimable gentleman to four years of
acute mental torment and started anoth-
er individual, considerably less estimable,
On a rotte that led eventually to a sui-
cide's grave. The funny part about it
was that the garcon didn't know either'
man from Adam's house cat. If he had
been told later on of the trouble he caus-
ed, he would probably have had a stroke
of, apoplexy. I remember being told that
he was rather fat. • . •
"I am something of a student of tsetse
-
tion," continued the, old lawyer, "and I
have frequently amused myself by trac-
ing out the extraordinary consequences
of some apparently trivial incident. It is
, nearly always the shifting of a pebble
that brings down the avalancbes of social '
life, and -Inethis-tase—butele will ,brletly-

- --"The-fritegarceirCitri a matter of course,
hung the hats over: the wrong garments,
and a few, minutes afterward a young
fellow who bakilleit.tnished his dinner
got up and walked off with another man's
overcoat. - By an odd coincidence it was
so much like his own that he wore it for
a week without discovering the cheese.
Midi one day he felt in the -inside pocket
and pulled ottt several letters that were
strange to him. I think I could repeat
their contents even now from memory, '
but There' are professional reasons.why I
cannot be very explicit. Suffice it to say•
that they put hire in possession of certain
facts, partly of a commercial and pertly
of a personal nature, that spelled abaci- •
late rain,,for tae mite _whom they con-
tented. ' • • - ,
As I have already hinted, the young

might 'meetly have turned ,the tables upon
him. So he made a tool of a miserable
old:drunkard, who had once been a law-
yer, and they proceeded to .put. op :the
screws. The business • man had missed
the letters, of course, " but he. hadn't the
faintest idea ere how he had lost. them,
and imagined thatabey had been stolen
out of his coat at his office, ane' that
theory, by theway, resulted in the abrupt
discharge of • several entirely innocent
and unsuspecting etnploeees., .
"When the ex shyster approached him,
he promptly fiew into a penic and paid
the first installment of • blackmail almost

somewhat eommonplace,". said the old
lawyer musingly,. "and I will merely

•• "It seems incredible, but this went on
for three solid years. Then opday the
victim got desperate and did what 'he
should have dime at first. He came over
to my ;office arid made a clean breast a

a warrant for the fake veterinary, and

"There the story paver ends, but there
Is one thing to add—namely, bow I
found out the truth aboat the overcoats.
It was very simple. My blackmailing
gentleman had become •a good deal of a
wreck during his years of sueeessful oper-
ation, and not long after I put a period
to his little game his former 'victim died.
That destroyed any lingering hopes he
may have had of renewing the squeeze,

OLDEST FISHING CLUB.
Located In Philadelphia and Bates
• Back to 1732.
Indian scalping being 'forbtilden•by the
decrees of `Nation Penn, the early Phil-
adelphians were obliged to look about
them for other forms of rerreation. This
may account for the fact that theoldest
fishing club in .the world lute its head-
quarters in the Quaker City. It came
into being in 1732, the birth year, of
Washington, and , has been preserved
through till the succeeding generations.,
Instead of calliug itself a mere club it is
the "Fishing Company of the State In
Schuylkill." Its organization is not that
of a company, but ef a state. and the
maintenance of this' little mock govern-
ment has added an element of play which
a plain, matter of fact "fishing club"
could never suggest: '
• There Is a delightful modesty ahout
the records of the state. • Not once are
the members disgracedhy the recording
of large catches. On the other hand,
they seem to have taken a. keener inter-
est in the minute details of angling than
In the amount of killing. They delighted
more in rare catches than in tee feats of
the professional fisherman. lir 1770 it is
recorded by order of the goveneor, that
"Ben Scull, the prince of fishermen, pro- •
duced a trout which he caught in Scbuyl-
kill that measured 15 Inches." This was
an unusual catch, for trout were few in
Schuylkill, We wonder why "produced"
is used in the record. 'Why 'did not the
governor order it recorded that Ben
Scull taught sueli a trout in Schuylkill?
Was it -because he was a conservative
official, who di'eaded to state on his own
authority that Ben Scull did, "catch"
such a trout, and did be word his record
purposely so that any skeptics among
us may Imagine tbat Ben was a prince
of 'jokers as well as fishermen 'and that
the fish which he "produced" was caught
elsewhere than in :Schuylkill?
A tale that seems worthy to go down
to history along with the adventure of
Jonah with the whale is recorded on Oct.
5, 1791. On that date, says tbe record,
"a four foot sturgeon boarded One of
the frigates." defter sotuething of a
struggle the boarding party was cap-
tured—ettuder-relatet served ti.
"delicious repast." We wish the chron-
icler had Leen more explicit; but per-
haps, after .all, it is better that he
should leave each of us to picture for
himself the "boarding of a frigate," the
surprise of the crew, the slimy struggle
and that final capture.—Leonidas Hub-
bard in Outing.
