A Big Catch of Fish.

Indian Harry Fisk, the boss of the
West Seattle Indians, and Steve Wilson,
another of the clan. have the best record
of the season among the fishermen.
Harry contracted with the Myers can
merry to supply $4,000 fish during the
season. He went down with his crew to
Mukilteo and Peterlike threw over his
nets. Thirty thousand salmon were the
fruits of the haul, and what to do with
all the load was puzzler. The scow
would not hold them, and nearly half
had to be thrown overheard. Harry had
been getting on so well that the next
day he tried his luck again and was as
much astonished as before, for 10000
again filled his seine. His contract with
the big cannery was filed, and Harry
and his crew were richer by the two
days work by $75O.-Seattle Dispatch.

Carp PeelInr the park on rrees,

For some months past farmers whose
fields touch the Darby creek near Ard
more, Pa, have noticed that the bushes
and small trees along the waters edge
were dying. An investigation showed
that the bark had been peeled off the
trunks near the ground. Only bushes
and trees that overhang the creek are
affected. The farmers thought it must
be the work of rabbits, and as the depre<
dations extended for three miles whole
sale raid upon the bunnies was planned.
Herbert A. Enochs says that timely
and startling discovery thwarted the
farmers in their crusade. With loaded
gun farmer sat by the stream to watch
for the shrub destroyers when he beheld
a large carp leap from the water and
catch at the bushes. 1t was after a fly
that had lighted there, but in its en-
deavor to get it tore off considerable
chunk Of bark. Then another carp was
seen doing the same thing. They had
actually girdled all the bushes on the
banks for miles in catching hies.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

In these days of speculation and Of
tremendous fuctuation in Wall street
prices it Is not surprising that weak hui
man nature yields to great temptation.
The wonder is not that cashier, pay
ing teller, president, a custodian of
trust funds, yields, but that SO few
among the large number of compare
lively poor men, handling hundreds of
thousands of dollars and in many in
stances securities valued at millions, fall
by the wayside, 1t stands to reason that
where one is detected half dozen es-
cape disgrace, a lucky turn in specula-
ton enabling them to recoup the strong
box and to replace the borrowed assets.
1t may be doubted if any of the long list
of defaulters intended at the outset to
defraud their employers or their custo-
mers. It's the old story. The unexpect-
ed happened, the money was lost, the
hypothecated securities were sold, and
the inevitable discovery brought ruin
upon the defaulter and shame upon his
family and friends. New York Re

Latest outrzge OF Chinese on MisaionA
The latest collision between foreign
missionaries and tho Chinese populsce
may serve as a typical example Of these
regrettabIeincidents. Two inexperienced
men. beginning to learn the Chinese
language, find themselves planted In q
hostile district, acquire land and erect
buildings in style VIGOROUSLY offensive
to the native people, and it is fair to as
sumo do other things In keeping there
with. The popular hate, which needed
no fostering, SINNERS awhile and at
given moment breaks out in a murder
GUS explosion, the poor missionaries be-
coming martyrs, not to Christianity, but
rather to their own deplorable lack Of
Judgment.
OF course the rioters deserve to be Sc
verely dealt with. It is dangerous to
leave them unpunished. Yet we know
they will not be punished, for the Chi
nese government will do neither good
nor evil that it can avoid, and moreover,
though 1t may not approve of mob yio-
lence, its sympathies are naturally and
necessarily with its own people, and not
with the intrusive and always hateful
foreigners. As for the western powers,
the diplomatic fiasco Of 1891 afforded
conclusive proof that none Of them has
clear enough conscience to coerce the
Chinese in such a matter.-A. Niche In

The tramp fraternity has made itself
unusually obnoxious during the hard
times, and heroic measures have been
resorted to for the purpose of suppress
ing it. In San Francisco the tramps
that infested and robbed the docks were
driven out by dueking them in the sea.
In Boston it seems that the sacred
common had literally fallen into the
hands Of tramps before the police could
be aroused to a sense of their duty. Pc
destrians were accosted at all hours of
the day and night, and if they did not
give were cursed and even struck, ac-
cording to the hour and the loneliness of
the locality. Women were bullied and
insulted and children robbed of their
pennies. Finally the police decided to
raid the common and rid it of its bandit
ii. Twenty-Five arrests were made, the
prisoners were sent ''to the island, the
common is now safe for travellers, and
children may sail their boats in the frog
pond without fear of molestation. New

BACH PROM the Dead Let.er omee.

The average citizen is prone to de-

everybody connected with it upon gen.

of dead letter Office ingenuity and atten-
ton in which he is personally interested,
after which he is thoroughly convinced
that the postoffice department is the only
really good establishment conducted by
Uncle Samuel.
One of these fellows mailed o photo
graph to lady at Wilkesbarre some
weeks ago, and when it was not deliv-
cred to her he fairly boiled over in SIAN
dering the department. Last week he
received a nicely worded request to call
at room 20, postoffice building, for "a
valuable letter." He called. and most
polite young woman handed him the
missing photograph, which he had mis-
directed.
"How in the world did you locate

the dead letter Office, and the photo
graph was forwarded here for delivery"

Americas Great Danger

Said an eminent English scientist recently,
"The danger that confronts the great Amer.

All these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared TO the terrible

wealth is set 1t killing pace, and thousands

there is no tree either on the common or
