the orderly took from his pocket a

with his finger the part he desired the

officers Brisbin and Smiley were
called to 1922 East Ninth street TO
arrest David Hardenstine, or that was
his name upon the blotter, for getting
drunk and abusing his family. He had
come home and raised a disturbance
and in sQuabble had nearly bitten
the finger off one of his boys. Two
sons then elected the old man from
the house. He went outside and hurt
ed stone through the window be-
side which his wife and little boy
were sitting. The two older boys
went out and the three engaged in
fight, resulting in the father being
badly whipped When he reached
headquarters in the wagon he looked
as II he had run up against a prize
fighter.
The family stated that the fathers
actions had become unbearable and
it was necessary to suppress him.

Cross who had made good his name
and was abusing his wife. The ad.

A Fish Hug.
"A bug that kills fish was captured
in the Erwin Station In Tennessee.
For several months the brook trout
there died mysteriously to the extent
OF 1900 in one month and 5000 in
another. All kinds OF experiments
were tried to discover the cause OF
this excessive mortality. A fence
three feet high, covered with fine
screen, was put around one pond. 1t
did no good. Then boards were put
on edge around the banks OF another
to prevent the young fish from
sleeping in the shallow water. Still
the fish died. Then bulkheads were
put into various spots to prevent the
fish from injuring themselves by leap
Ing. Shade was provided here and
there. Traps were set to catch rats
or other vermin which might be prey
ing on the fish. Some ponds we
cleaned out and the fish assorted.
Nothing had any result. Suddenly 1t
was discovered that great quantities
OF an insect known as belos oma were
around all the waters. And this be-
lostoma, 1t was found, crawled into
the water at night and fixed itself on
young fish, which it killed by blool
suction.
One hundred and sixty-three species
OF fish have been found by DR.. Tarle-
ton II. Bean on our own coast OF
Long Island. Among them are tho

liable fish. 1t is that there are
marked structural differences between
the British and the American fish.

individual 1t does not amount to
much. But when 1t has Its crowd
