The Fish Trap That Deputy A
G. Fletcher Took From a
Creek Near Cloverdale.

greatest obstacles and annoyances. Such
was tire experience OF Deputy a. u.
Fletcher in Cloverdale recently. Word
was received at the Fish Com missioners'
Office that there was salmon trap in Sui
phur Creek. near Cloverdale, and he
started out to destroy the trap and arrest
the offenders. for it is against the law to
use such contrivances at any time or kill
salmon out OF season.
After considerable search along Sui
pur Creek Fletcher found the trap. 1t was
crude, but effectual, for the purpose in
tended. 1t was made of willow suckers in
the shape OF n huge waste basket and at
the mouth was concave cover with a
hole in the center, through which the flsh
could pass. Once inside it was ''good-by,
salmon" In fact, there was one salmon
in the trap when the deputy arrived. AS
Mr.. Fletcher wanted to arrest the offend
ers he secreted himself in the bushes on
the bank of The stream and waited. Alter
o. while two men armed with salmon spears
appeared, but before they reached the trap
third man appeared, who evidently
warned the two that the deputy was naar,
for he lad seen the deputy in buggy up
the road.
A little later Sonoma Indian ap-
preached. and the men with the spears
told him there was fish in the trap, and
poor Lo fell victim at once. While Mr..
Fletcher would have preferred to arrest
the white men he was compelled to arrest
the person who actually took the fish from
the trap. However Mr.. Fletcher took the
salmon spears from the two men and
broke the ugly implements to pieces
Then he started for town with the pris-
oner, who gave the name of Charlie La
moon, and the salmon and the tishtrap.
The men whose spears he had broken
preceded Mr.. Fletcher, and by the time the
latter arrived in CloverdaIe the whole of
the tough element of the town was out
and gave him hot reception. All kinds
OF insulting remarks we're made. The
prisoner was duly charged with violating
the game law and the fish and trap Were
deposited in Justice of the Peace Connor' s
office.
Then the trouble began in earnest. By
the sway, Mr.. Fletcher learned that the
names of the two men whose spears he
had broken were Charles Mcpherson and
Waiter Mcpherson, his cousin. All that
day n gang OF town hoodlums followed
Mr.. Fletcher and saluted him with rish-
horns. When he sat in the hotel the
gang, led by the McPhersons, appeared at
the windows and footed their tin horns.
Once, when he was on the street, one Of

beloved salt fish, and our only companion
Is Malacca cat. which has also an attach
ment for the stewards pillow. Puss is n
tame little creature and comes rubbing
herself mildly against our shoes. looking
up into our faces and moving her
thoughts. Doubtless she is surprised that
you have been so long looking at her with
out noticing the popularity of her tail,
which so much distinguishes her from her
mates in other quarters of the globe.
Take her up in your lap and see for your
self Did you ever observe such singular
knott So regular, too, in its formation,
and she has outlived both the pain and in
convenience. But here comes her kitten,
all full of gambols and fun, and we find
that her tail is in precisely the same con-
dition. So, then, this is remarkable
feature among the whole race of Malayan

Wasting Electricity.

Ca,elessuess on the part of the motor
man is, according TO recent investiga-
tioDs, the cause of great waste of cleo
and stopping. Sometimes the power is
left on until after the brakes are set, at
other times there are merely partial
currents. but quite enough to foot up a
considerable aggregate In fact, it is es-
timated that as much as 90 per cent Of
power may be lost in this way. So
noticeable has this become that it has
been found advisable to adopt very
simple device by means of which the
lost current is, at least approximately,
measured, and the amount thereof can
be charged up against the unskillful or
careless motorman.
This device consists of strip Of
alloy placed in box prepared to re-
ceive it. The alloy is held against the
wire by weight attached to the lower
end of the strip. 1t is supported by a
short piece of German silver wire of
such cross section as to be heated by the
current which flows through it TO oper-
ate the car At certain temperature
the wire melts its way through the strip
of alloy, thus allowing the strip and
weight to descend There is an auto
matte device to prevent injury to the
recorder or the stoppage of the car in
case the wire should melt under an alb
normal current. The recorder is pushed
into place, at the same moment closing
the car circuit. To insure.its use the ar
rangement is such that unless the re-
corder is in place the circuit is open,
and the car will not start. A record is
kept of the number of miles each man
runs and the number of inches of alloy
melted during the run. This is returned
at the end Of month and is posted ar
over against the mans name. 1t has
been estimated that a considerable saw
ing is effected by this means. New

.1hs GREAT lAoY.n
Tue Trick Time Has Played with an An
cient Etruscan Dame.

In the Etruscan museum at Rome are
gathered many relics Of the mighty race
that In prehistoric times held sway over
northern Italy. The most interesting of
these remains of the ancient Etruscans Is
a tomb. which ages before the Christian
era was perhaps the most important In the
country. Two bodies were then laid In it.
The tomb was opened I'm this generation.
In the lower compartment were found
the bones of the high priest of the nation.
His name and rank were inscribed on the
door.
In the larger and chief chamber were
found little heap of human ashes, n horn
comb, headband and chains of gold
The only inscription is "Me Larthia"-
(the great LADY,
She was evidently so great her power
was so felt, that IL was not considered TO
be necessary TO put her name upon her
tomb. Ii could never be forgotten. 1.-THE
Great Lady"-that would be enough for
all time.
And now in the whole world there Is
not IA human being who can tell who this
great lady was or has any knowledge of
her life or her death. All that remain
that speak of her living presence among
men are few ashes, a coarse, bent comb
and some worn golden chains.
The spectator smiles at the inscription,
but there Is shudder underneath this
smile. 81, too, shall some day be forgotten.
1, tool" he says and hurries ON. But yet
In his heart he hopes 1t will not be wholly
SO with him.
A genial poet, Frederick Locker, who
died not long ago In England, said once,
with a pathetic attempt to joke:
"When am gone, surely 1t will not be
with me as with other men? Somebody
will remember. Some of you will wish
me back again. Piccadilly will not be
quite so crowded when 1 am not there"
He was right in degree. His thoughts
are not dead. though his body is. Even
his pitiful appeal, written on this page to-
day is a word from live soul to living
souls, who answer 1t again.
The secret whisper in each man s heart,
"My body may die, my name may die, but
/ shall live," is true.
When we, like 1.-THE great lady" have
gone on into some other of the habitations
of God we shall take with us the characters
that have been shaped here on this thresh-
old of life. That which was good and
true in us cannot die, and the freed soul
will not then care what men think of the
chains or rings or even of the body that
we have discarded and left behind.a

LEAF CUTTING BEES.
Honey Gatberers That Snip Pieces From
the Rose Leaves.

Honey Gatberers That Snip Pieces From
the Rose Leaves.
"Some Common Bees and How They
Live" by A. Hyatt Verrill is an article
that appears in ST. Nicholas. Mr.. Verrill
says:
Perhaps some of my readers may have
noticed on their rosebushes a number of
leaves in which neat round or oblong holes
were cut. This is the work Of the leaf
cutting bee, pretty little insect looking
much like the common honeybee, but
with stout orange red legs and metallic
green reflections a bout the head. Although
the mutilated leaves are ell too common,
the nest for which they are sacrificed Is
seldom seen, for this little bee is n carpen-
ter as we'll as leaf cutter and hides her
home away deep in the heart of some old
post or board The hole is much like that
of her busy relative, the carpenter bee,
but smaller, and, instead of forminga tun-
mel at right angles to the entrance, pene-
trates directly into the wood.
When the hole is drilled TO heEsatisfac-
ton, our little friend stops carpenter work,
and, flying to the nearest rosebush, selects
a tender, perfect leaf From this she cuts
oblong pieces, which are carried to the
nest and formed into "a thimble shaped
tube at its bottom. This tube Is next filled
with pollen and honey, on which tiny
egg is placed. Another trip is taken to
the rosebush, and this time perfectly cir
cular pieces tri1e larger than the diam
eter of the tube are cut. These the little
worker forces into the upper end Of the
tube, forming "a tightly fitting stopper.
These operations are repeated until the
hole is filed with tubes, one above anoth-
or. The lowest eggs hatch first, and each
young bee waits for the one beyond to go
FORTH in the same manner as the young
of the large carpenter bee.

his boots In better condition and making
them last longer than any of his brother
officers When asked what he did to them
to prevent the leather from cracking and

Mutton bone" When an explanation
was demanded he said:
at is nothing, assure you. My man

he cleans and then bakes. After rubbing
the leather with cream, he then frotles
them as hard as he can with the bone.
