FISH FOODS OF LENT AND HOW TO SERVE

THEM.
Modern science commends the FISH foods OF Lent
as Offering a wholesome change from meats and
heavier food at a season when such change Is
most welcome and needful. This departure In diet
therefore seems to be commanded by the laws OF
health as well by the Church canons. By
most happy coincidence. the fathers OF the Church
ordered this fast al time when 6rea' many hsh
were in prime condition for food, or just before the
spawning season.
After spawning, many fish, like shad, smelts,
nackerel and others, utterly unfit for food and
some actually poisonous There are many FISH in
our summer markets which. for this reason. are

Attempted kidnapping.

Friday night last a bold and al
most successful attempt at kidnap-
ping was made in the city, ard
the reason therefor or whom the
party making the attempt are still
unexplained.
Mrs. Shoemake, widow of the
man killed in the Katy yards in
this city two years ago, lives with
her family IN a house on north
Cherokee street about opposite the
roller mill. The family consists
of six children and the mother and
they occupy four-room house on
the east side of the street. Friday
night some time after midnight
Mrs. Shoemake heard a noise in
an adjoining room where the older
children were sleeping, which was
quickly followed by the screams
of one of them. She rose from her
bed and went to a window and
called for help, then turned to-
ward the room where the children
were, calling to them and at the
same time calling to an imaginary
person to bring a pistol. She had
succeeded in getting all the child
rem except one together and then
went into the room joining the one
in which the children were sleep
ing and was met by the missing
one, a girl about six years old,
named Trixie, who said, MAMA,
they had me in their arms" The
noise made by Mrs. Shoemake and
some trouble the scoundrel
had with the window caused him
to drop the child, and as he went
out of the window, which he had
evidently entered, the sash fell.
All this occurred in less time than
it takes 10 read it. The child is
the only one who saw the assail-
ant and she can give no descrip-
ton.
Next morning the tracks of a
pair of wide, rather shabby No. I
or s shoes were found beneath the
window, leading through a neigh
bor's yard and out the front gate,
but no other evidences could be
secured.
There is no conjecture why the
attempt was made except it be up
on the the theory of pure fiendish-
ness. The family are in quite
moderate circumstances and the
hope of a good ransom would have
been merest folly. - Muskogee
