FUNNY WAY TO CATCH FISH.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: Here is an
experience I had in my vacation: This morning

quite good sized salmon when he big fish

anchor and reeled in as fast could and father
rowed my end of the boat to the salmon first.

IL in front Of the fish so that IL he swan away

in 1t lifted up the net with the fish. He
dandy, and was the first fish had seen caught
that way. When got up him he
had a sucker in his mouth twelve inches long,
that when he tried to go down the sucker kept him
up. He was brown trout and weighed three
pounds. When father cleaned him he found In
his stomach an archer spinner. Don't you think It

SPASMODIC AMERICANS.
Then Trade zcith the BraaHans by
Fits and Starts.

Mr., Hutchinson. special agent for the United
States writing from Rio Janeiro Of American trade
IN South America, explains that the preference for
British products is mainly due TO the fact that
English capital is largely invested in Brazil. and
these investments naturally a decisive IN
fuence in procuring the importation OF British
products. There is also general complaint as TO
the American methods OF packing goods FOR ship
ment, which operates against the promotion OF
trade between the United States and South Aner-
countries, fact often and persIstenJy alluded

protests. many American shippers continue TO pack

HIGHWAYMAN MISSES BOOTY
Holds Up Prominent Physician and
Rifles Pockets, but Fails to Find
Major Part of VaIuables

DR.. J. w. Jauch was held up and
robbed by single bandit of $33 in silver
and gold while returning from a call
on Twenty-second street shortly after
IL o'clock last evening on Toberman
street, between Washington and Six
teenth streets. In his haste the foot
pad overlooked valuable watch, dia-
mond ring, valued at $3.50, and stick
pin and $5.05 in money.
AS DR.. Jauch was passing along Tober-
man street man approached him from
in front and suddenly leaped forward,
placed revolver over the physicians s
heart and commanded him to hold up
his hands. After relieving the doctor
of the money in his side and hip
pockets the thief snatched at his watch
chain.
In some unaccountable manner the
robber broke the chain close to the
watch, which he overlooked He did
not take notice of the two brilliant
diamonds that the physician was wear
ing and missed a S. bill and a nickel in
the doctors glove.
After rifling the victims pockets the
highwayman commanded the doctor 20
walk to Washington street board a
car and not get off until he reached
the city at a penalty of his life.
DR.. Jauch informed the officers as
soon as he arrived at the Occidental
hotel
