IL is common to assert that the
Louisiana Purchase in 1903 was made
by President Jefferson. The fact is
that 1t was arranged for without his
knowledge by Livingston and Monroe.
VINO had been sent to treat with Ma
poleon for an entirely different pur-
pose, and Jefferson approved it with
great reluctance. He even went so far
at first as to say that he could not an.

infinite amount of comment. usually
of invidious nature. If there is any

ports that this despicable matrimonial
fortune hunter who could not get his
foot into thousands OF American
homes, actually delayed the wedding
for half an hour while he haggled over
few more pieces of gold as the price
of his consent to marry the Thaw girl.
The whole contemplate barter and

this revolving affair is the reluctance
of Miss Thaw's mother TO consent TO

A STRANGE FISH DEcOY.

"Lau melomelo" is what the
Hawaiian fisherman call this decoy.
1t is made of the hardest wood to be
found in the islands, and is carved
and rubbed till it assumes the shape
of a club with little knob at the
smaller end, to which the line is tied.
The club is from one to three feet
long. A village sorcerer performs
certain rites over it over a sacred
fire. After this is done the club is
magic, and the fisherman must be ex-
tremely careful of t. If a woman
should step over it or enter a canoe
in which it lies the club would lose
all its power and would be useless
ever afterward. After the club has
been charmed the fisherman mixes
candlenut and cocoanut meat, bakes
it, and ties the mixture in wrapper
(of cocoanut fiber. At the fishing
grounds the club is covered with the
oily juice of the stuff, and is then
lowered carefully to the bottom. The
scent of the baked nut meat attracts
certain kinds of fish, which soon
gather and begin to nibble at the
club. AS soon as enough fish are
around the decoy a small bag-shaped
net is lowered very gently until it's
mouth is just over the club. The
latter is then pulled up carefully and
cunningly till it is within the bag.
The fish are so eager for the stuff
with which the club is covered that
they follow it into the net without
fear. AS soon as all the fish are in
it fisherman dives and closes the
mouth of the net, whereupon the rest
haul it I'D quickly.-Washine Posr
