Late yesterday afternoon Lee
Nun a Chinaman who runs a
laundry at the rear of the Chick
asaw Trust company bank, and
Leila Talbert colored, were mar
ried by U. S. Clerk Speake. A
number of people witnessed the
ceremony which took place at
the laundry. Before he was read
y for the ceremony Lee Nun
lighted two sandal wood incense
sticks and holding one in each
hand, bowed three times before
his Joss. Then he placed them in
different parts of the building to
keep away the evil spirits. After
proceeding to burn Chinese pray
er papers in an earthenware pot
he announced himself ready.
The wedding was very interesting

THE LoBsTER's ENEMIES.
It Is Preyed Upon and Destroyed BY
Many Bottom Feeding Fishes.

"-The lobster" said an old fisherman,
has no greater enemy than the bot
tom-feeding fishes-blackflsh, Goldfish,
haddock, and so on.
"They eat the lobster entire when
they find one that has just shed its
shell, when 1t is not only soft but
powerlcss, and they may disable lob
ster and then destroy 1t even when 1t
is in fighting trim. Half dozen black
fish. for instance, might come across
a lobster and manage to bite off its
legs and so partially disable 1t.
THE lobster is agile, quick and
long Jumper through the water, but
the black-fish is quicker and 1t can
easily keep up; and, the lobster finally
disabled, 1t quickly finishes it. In this
way blackfish might get away with
lobster of considerable size.
THE Goldfish gets many-very likely
the Goldfish knows the haunts of the
lobster better than men do. The
skate, clumsy az 1t Is, gets some: If 1t
can blanket a lobster, get one of It's big
nap-like pectoral fins over it, the skate
gradually works the lobster up to its
mouth, and holds it 50 while it eats
It. The skate gets crabs in the same
manner, and there Is a fish called the
crab-eater.
In fact, there is constant warfare
going on at the bottom of the sea
among the jewellers there in the strug-
gle for existence, and the lobster
among them has no greater enemy
than the bottom feeding fishes"

sPEARlNG MuskALLoNeE.
The Sport Illegal, but Practced Because
1t Is Exciting.
(New York Sun !

Ill
The muskalfonge lend itself to snearing
because OF Its courage. Alone among the
swimmers Of inland waters it seems to
have no fear Of man, and certainly it has
none of O. boat. A musky lying half hid
den in the weeds with only the front part
OF its body projecting from the cover WIN
not stir q lin as skin shoots by four
feet over it and 1t win often strike at a
hind the craft.
'Thts holiness by day IS increased by
night, when all fishes are more approach
able, while, the boat and the man stand
rowed within five feet of it. The fish
thus offers an easy mark for the spear
and would be hunted IN this fashion even
more than 1t is but for laws which for
bid it.
Like other fish. mllskallonge leave the
deep holes Mt night and haunt the shall
lows, where they find food more plenti-
full. Often they will lie with the single
back fin out of water.
1t is not so hard to find and spear mus
kalOnge as 1t Is to land them after they
are speared. The fish is immensely pow
erful and IL of large size will put up a
flight against q spear that will make most
men wish they had let it alone
The man stands up to deliver the stroke
and stands up to make the fight and UNI
less he be an expert he is apt to go over
board in the dark. 1t is a difficult thing
to stand in narrow bottomed punt on
rapid water and handle a long stiff pole
with a 20-pound fish thrashing at the
other end Of it, e"
For this reason amateur spearers prefer
spear from which the barb detaches as
soon as the fish is struck The pole comes
out of its socket and floats along There
is a string tied to the barb and the man
handles the fish with the string as if it
were line.
Even so, it is hard to do anything with
the fish, as the barb is in Its side and 1t
has all of its length to oppose to any
effort to drag it through the water II
| is the aim of the sportsman to drive the
spear clean through the fish as near a
vital part as possible so that the SHOCK
will prevent it putting out all it's strength

RABBITS CAME ABOARD.
Game Diet for a Trainload of Flood
Bound Passengers.
CDenver Post.)

Elliot G. Houston of the Denver Re-
cord-Stockman, had an uncomfortable
experience in travelling through the
water belt Of Kansas during the re-
cent floods on his way to his old home,
at Louisville, Ky. With as other pas
sengers he was waterbound for six
days ON a Missouri Pacific train four
miles from bridgeport, Kan. 1t was
impossible either to move the train for
ward or to go back, and in short time
the food supply exhausted and the
male passengers rustled eatables
among the farmers of the neighbor-
hood.
1--WE exhausted the food the first
day." said Mr.. Houston. "At the start
we were told that we could have but
two meals instead of three meas a day.
Every semhlance of food was quickly
gone, and then. lit became necessary for
the male passengers to get something
to eat. The farm houses saved us. Sew
eral of us got boats and rowed from
house to house each day and in this
way secured food sufficient for at least
one meal a day. One means of secur-
ing food seemed to be furnished nv

EVERY MAN 10 HIS TRADE.
Prof. Won Josgleby Discourses on a
Sight from His Study Window.
(New York SUM-

EVERY man to his trade means
plainly enough" said Prof. Won Joggle-
by, that one should not try to do work
to which he hasn't been trained; this
applying, of course as we'll to the learn
ed with regard to work with which they
are not familiar as to the unlearned
with regard to things of which they are
ignorant; but, long as I have been ac-i
quainted with this sayings signifi-
canoe, l am nevertheless all the time
discovering new evidences of the uni
versatility of It's scope. For instance:
True as knew the old saying to be,
should really have thought that !
clothesline, without any previous train
ing; that anybody could hang out
clothes; that all there was to do in this
was to hang them out. But now |
know different.
From my study windows in my new
home / command a view of a range OF
back yards, in which every Monday
morning if the day is propitious and on
sundry other days through the week
with lesser washings, clothes are hung
out to dry. Now, what do the washers
do? Just bring the things out and hang
them on the line, as would have done
Never!
But every time before hanging out
anything suitable preparation is made
for it. The laundress or other servant
| who is doing this work appears with a
| cloth which she throws over the line
and over which she then clasps her fin
/ gers; and then, holding the cloth on it
| thus, she walks down the yard rubbing
the line with it, wiping the line free of
dust.
"A simple thing? Why, very! But I
never knew anything about wiping Off
| the line, never heard of such thing,
| till / saw 1t done. in the manner de-
scribed, from my study window. If I
had had any clothes to hang out l
should have just hung them out, never
doubling, as | said, that l could do it
as we'll as anybody, and as a result l
should have had, on every piece l put
| out, a fine dirt streak where it had
rested on the dusty line. But the
washer knew how.
(which leads me to say-though for
that matter l have felt this way as
long as can remember-that the older
1 grow the more respect feel for every
craftsman and for every laborer, in
whatever work engaged. There may
be things that do that they couldn't,
but l know that there are many things
that they do, including work In even
the most commonplace occupations,
that couldn't touch at all.
There's an art in every trade"
