A Flood Of Fish in Kansas.

Over 10000 fish were caught below
the dam on Spring river at Baxter
Springs, Kan, in day. c. L. Smith
of. the Baxter News and O. G. Rum
mel of the city council caught over
1000 after supper.
Most of the fish were young carp
and quite small, but very good to eat.
The river in places was perfectly
black with them, and fishermen
dipped them up in buckets and dip
nets. Next day the river was lined
with men, women and children, who
seemed to get all the fish they could
carry home in a little while.
These fish probably come from
stocked ponds, which have been over
flowed by the high waters. There are
three varieties Of carp and few bass,
perch and Graphic, but all are small.
About Is years ago just such run OF
fish came to Baxter Springs, but they
were all jack salmon, weighing from
a pound to a pound and half. About
1000 were caught in one day below
the dam, but they never appeared
again. in such quantities. -Columbus

"Touched by Royal Lips"

A hat made of straws, every one Of
which had been touched by royal lips,
was worn by an Englishman at Bou-
logne.
The man who wore it had followed
the King when he was Prince of

ing the straws through which he alb
sorbed iced drinks, and when he had
secured enough he had them made

Separating Gamblers and Legislators

I'm the old days when the capitol
of Alabama was located at Tuscaloosa,
there was a good deal Of open gam
bling at that seat of legislation" said
Mr.. d. M. Lowrey of New Orleans
1T was the custom in those times for
men of all grades Of society to risk
their money at games of chance, and
the lawmakers who gathered at Tus-
caloosa were among the best patrons
of the gaming tables
THE proprietor of one of these re-
sorts, wishing to keep the State So
Ions separated from the ordinary Gus
toners of his place, put up big sign
in the apartment devoted to faro, po-
ker, roulette and the like, which read:
Members of the Legislature please
take the table to the right; gamblers
take the table to the left-it's hard to
tell you apart

Two Castles Under the Hammer.

Two English castles are about to
come under the hammer, each includ-
ed in the sale of extensive estates,
Kingswear castle, South Devon, will
be offered this month, with several
properties in the neighborhod.
1t dates from the reign of King John.
During the civil war it was. strongly
garrisoned by the kings men, but was
successfully stormed by the army of
Sir Thomas Fairfax, early in the year
1916. The garrison were taken pris-
oners.
The Hanwell castle estate is to be
offered next month. 1t is situated in
Oxfordshire, and the sale will include
the whole of the village Of Hanwell

Passing of Lightning Rod Agent.

what has become of the lightning
rod and the interesting fellow who
peddled these things in the old days?"
asked man who is fond of bordering
the old things. 81 guess he has dis
appeared, too. Time was when the
rural sections Of the country were
filed with lightning rod agents.
'In some Of the states, notably
Tennessee, a good revenue was de-
rived from the privilege tax imposed
on lightning rod agents. But in 1895,
now about 10 years ago, the report of
revenue collected in that state showed
that only one agent was doing bust
ness there, and he was roaming
around in the mountains of east Ten
nessee. Of course, the alert revenue
collectors and agents may have over
looked some of the fellows engaged in
this business, but the chances are
that not many were missed. BY this
time l suppose there is not one in the
state. He has probably disappeared
altogether.
Back in an earlier time you could
find but few houses without rod run
ming up from the roof at one or both
ends to catch the lightning and con-
duct it to the ground But it is not
so now. The lightning rod has dis
appeared, and the agent, too, has

Capturing a Shark on a Coral Reef.

Capturing a Shark on a Coral Reef.
A five and half foot shark was
captured Yesterday inside the reef Off
East Niu ranch, affording a great deal
of sport for those who took part in
the capture.
The water at this point is very shall
low for nearly a mile and a half out
from the shore. At low tide it is
coral fiat covered with mud. At high
tide there is from Is inches to two
feet Of water on it.
For several days past the surf has
been very high. Yesterday afternoon
it seemed higher than ever, rolling up
over the coral reef in great breakers.
During the Afternoon Emil A. Berndt,
who with party of friends was spend
ing the day there, saw a splashing
about so yards from the shore. Pres
entity it became clear that it was

eePOCK 7"

When Jack Maston was taking his
gang Of men to his logging-camp up
among the head waters of the andre
scoggin river his cock fell i'll and had
to be sent back, along with the man
who was to have served as cookie"
or cooks assistant.
After a delay of one or two days
Maston secured couple OF French
Canadians to take their places.
Peter, the new cook, huge, black
bearded fellow, with evil, narrow eyes,
soon began to amuse himself by bully
ing the cookee, VINO, on account Of
the smallpox scars with which the
little mans face, was covered, he
abusively called "PCcly.'

I en- unexpectedly one evening, found
Peter bclaboring Pocky with the soup

feefteen potat. Hey?"

the assistant, trying to ward eff the
paddle.

again at the cookies head.
Hold on, Peter" said Aaston. 81
guess the soups all right. You let the
boy alone
A cook in logging-camp, if he is a
good cook, is an important person,
not accustomed to brook interference,
and Peter turned angrily.
81 amt want no boss tell me bout
my beesness," he said. 'Ill mind my
beesness, me-"
And Selling Pocl1y by the collar, he
flung him half across the room.
Maston took two long strides for
fard.
Peter" he said sternly, 'if you ever
lay, hand on that boy again it will
go hard with you"
The cooks face turned black. He
threw down the stack of tin plates
which he had just picked up, and
doubling his fists, he cried:
81 amt 'fraid no Yankee boss hever
see. lick you so quick as lick dat
boy"
He made at Maston. The next mo-
ment the burly lumberman had
stretched him on the floor.
From that time on here was nc
more abuse for Pocky. Peter had
transferred all his malice to the boss
whom he watched with eyes that often
Redeemed with hate. And meanwhile
Pocky was watching Peter
The huge tier of logs increased rap
idly. Maston had conceived the idea
of placing them upon smooth and
solid railway, leading to the water.
He believed then, that by knocking
out two props at the foot, he coult

would thus be saved, and tbAy wculC

During the last days of March tha
wear the weather became unusually
warm. and so much rain fell that the
mountain stream rose suddenly.
AS the rain continued Mastcn grew
anxious. If the water should ris'
enough to float the raft of logs dis
aster must follow, for the stream wa
bound to abate within a few hours at
ter the closing Of the storm. Anothe
quick freeze would be sure to come
and then the logs would be held fas
until the ice broke up, when the.
would go out with it and be scattere'

On the third night of the storm
