THEY KEEP POND WATER CLEAR
Goldfish and Sunfish Are Terrors to Gre
Scum and WippIers

Scum and Wigglers.
Fish have their uses to humanity
over and above serving as food material
or as unwilling caterers to the sport of
the fisherman, says the New York
Sun. Although it may seem odd SO to
speak of them, they often are as indis-
pensable to country place as dog or
cat.
If that country place happens to be
one that is supplied with running wa
ter, and this is used for ornament in
ponds or fountains, two things are pref
ty sure to bother the owner.
One is the well-known green scum
which spreads over the waters of ponds
and fountain basins. When its growth
begins the plant is pretty. 1t starts
gets high, in May or June, and sends
upward a delicate, graceful, wavy
thread of vivid green. Until it reaches
the surface it remains pretty, but once
there it spreads along and rots, and is
soon offensive in several ways.
The other nuisance from standing
water, even when it is often renewed
and directly from the springs, is mos
quitoes. The wigglers grow there.
The remedy for both these troubles
is fish, and the two kinds that will cure.
them happen to be the two most desira-
BILE for other reasons.
Goldfish will keep the green scum
from growing; and yellow perch, or, as
they are generally called, sunfish, will
destroy the mosquito wigglers.
The sunfish one has to catch, but the
goldfish can be bought two for quar-
ter in the fish and bird stores of the
city.

Spokane's Big Boy.

The biggest boy in the world lives
in Spokane, says the Chronicle. His
name is Eddie Black. He is six feet,
three inches tall, and is now IA years
and six months old and growing like
any other healthy boy.
Until about two years ago he was
rather delicate boy. His chief diet
was bread, water and tea. In fact,
upon this he lived and thriyed. He
could not eat meat or vegetables. In the
last two years, however, his appetite
has demanded more substantial food.
He has grown strong and vigorous.
Indeed he is we'll proportioned. The
last pair of shoes he bought were
No. IL. Now they are pinching his
feet, and his next ones must be No l3,
and be made to order.
Eddie is light complexioned, quiet,
and as his father says, good boy. He
purposes some day to become brick
mason like his father. But this far in
life he has spent his time in school.
He has attended the Franklin building.
where his tall, stalwart form is a
familiar sight among the other chill
dren of his age and grade.

houses. OF course they will all re-
member some pleasant features con.
nected with the service of their con-
stituents, such as free entertain ment,

the office seeker, the fine and coarse
work of the lobby member and the
thousand and one vexations, many
will get enough of the 'good thing"
But the citizens who spend this same
season their time and money travelling,
and who use the Wisconsin Central
lines between st. Paul or Minneapolis
and Chicago or Milwaukee will be sub
ject to no such annoyances. They will
get the best service on earth and a

Earlv Marriape. or Rova,tv.

Queen Isabella of Spain, who came u
the throne at three years of age, wa.
married on her sixteenth birthday
Queen Victoria of England, who was
crowned at eighteen, was married al
twenty. Queen Maria da Gloria dc
Braganza, born in the same year as
Queen Victoria, assembled the throne OF
Portugal at the age of seven, and at
fifteen welded the duke of Leuchten-
berg, one of the Beauharnais family,
who left her a widow before she was
sixteen, and the year after she married
Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg
Gotha, from which alliance the reign
ing house of Portugal proceeds. From
these examples it will be seen that
there is nothing premature in these
projects of marriage which the qeeen
regent and the privy council of Holland
have set on foot on behalf of the if
teen-year-old Queen Wilhelmina.

VIII Lecture in The Dalles.

Mrs. Clara Hoffman, of Kansas City.
delivered most powerful address en-
titled "The Dominant Issue," Sunday
evening, October 9. The national
reputation of Mrs. Hoffman as a
speaker of great force and power drew
an immense audience to this meeting

unable to find seats until chairs were
brought into the aisles. Mrs. Hoffman
spoke with great eloquence and fervor.
The rich melody of her voice, the deep
pathos of her pleading, combined with
her motherly face, added to her strong
magnetism as speaker, held her
hearers in wrapped attention.-Chi.

Sherman County without assaIoon

Sherman county is again without a
saloon. When an attempt was made
recently to have saloon, Miss Maggie
Eaton, of the w. G. T. u, took her
horses and carriage, and with another
white-ribboner, drove So miles in one
day, and opened 40 gates, and the next
day, taking another woman, drove As
miles and opened 80 gates: making 100
miles in two days, and the opening and
closing Of IS gates. By doing this they
found men employed upon their farms
and secured majority of signatures of
the voters, and so saved the county
from saloon, says the Wasco News.

EsCAPADE OF A DALLEs GIRL.

She Outwits q Portland Merchant-Gets
Goods on Forged Orders.
Beulah Gilgard, who was sent from
The Dalles to the Boys and Girls Aid
Society at Portland about two years
ago. has developed into an expert for
ger, and is causing Supt. Gardner no
end of IL ouble. The Telegram gives
the following account of some of her
| escapades:
Some of her latest exploits have been
daring enough to land the 15-year-old
inco-rigible in the penitentiary if any
person cared to prosecute her. The
girl is too young to be dealt with by
the law, but she has now been incar-
cerated at the Magdalen Home, on the
East Side, where the course of disci-
pline is expected to correct her traits.
The principal trouble with Beulah is
a peculiar fondness of getting into
mischievOus scrapes of one kind or
another. This has led her to become
forger with such success that she
has obtained goods from various stores
on written orders made out by herself.
The ludicrous part of it is that the girl
does not realize that it is very great
harm, or that it is damp Perous. The
little forger is certainly an adept.
She forged an order upon her mistress
at house where she was staying for |
her release, and obtained her freedom. |
Before she was found, Superintendent |
Gardner, of the Boys and Girls Aid
Society, was put to great trouble and |
some expense to locate the wayward |
girl.
Mr.. Gardner thinks that if there
ever was born kleptomaniac, Beulah
Gilgard is one.
The girls last adventure, of which
Superintendent Gardner declined to
say much on account of the EN- barrass-
ment it might give the people who
were involved, is causing Fourth
street business man and salesman in
a leading dry goods house to endure

NO TIME TO AIM.
The Luck Shot of Hunter at q Critical
Moment.

|
Moment.
1t is strange fact that the human
| hand, eye and nerve are so constituted
as to act automatically and correctly at
the proper moment, almost without
conscious effort on the owners part.
The author of ''Tales of Nomad" gives
an experience that illustrates this in a
most fortunate manner.
We were passing through grass
about two feet in height, with clumps
OF low scrub here and there. 1 was
leading, and my spoorer, a Kafir named
Jacha, was following me. He had
only one eye, and that eye was keener
to detect game than two pairs of ordi-
nary optics; but on this occasion it
overlooked terrible danger, for the
reason that the danger, though within
few yards of us, was invisible.
There was rustic in a patch Of
scrub six or seven yards before me, and
suddenly ont of it rose a wounded buff
falo with bloody mouth and glaring
eye, which wheeled round facing me in
act to charge.
1t all took place quicker than
thought. My rifle, which happily was
at full cock, went'up to my shoulder
instinctively, and l dropped him in his
tracks with ball through the brain.
So sudden was the whole affair that
my heart had not time even to give a
great thump. do not quite remember
how l did it. / am sure 1 did not take
fine sight, and l doubt whether J

Nomination For MayOr-An Electric
Road to Be Built

Dahlonega, Ga, Dec. 2.-On Monday
night the citizens of this place met for
the purpose of nominating mayor and
council. Col. w. p. Price was nominated
for mayor.
A bill has passed the House, and is now
before the Senate, to give Dahlonega a
system of graded schools. That subject,
together with other interests of the town
was discussed a the meeting The citi-
zens are heartily in favor of establishing
the graded schools.
An electric lire has been surveyed from
Gainesville to Dahlonega, and the Dab
lonega people are hopeful of having an
opening to the outer world in the near flu
ture. The line was surveyed by Prof. b.
NJ. Hall, for the Chestatee Pyrites Com
pany. 1t is to come by the pyrites or cop
per mine, and will no doubt prove to be a
paying enterprise, for there is a large
amount of freight hauled in wagons to
this place, and the students of the North

largely to the passenger traffic
