Fishermen's Queer Ways.

Fishermen have queer customs. A
few years ago the fishermen of Pres
ton, Lancashire, used actually to go
fishing on Sunday. 1t seems incredi-
Bile, but they did. A clergyman Of the
town used to preach against this Sab
bath desecration and pray that they
might catch no fish. And they did not.
But they found out how to make his
prayers of no avail. The fishermen
used to make little efIigy of the par
son in rags and put this small guy"
up their chlmneys. While his rever-
ence was slowly smoked and consum-
ed the fish bit--like anything!-London

MAKING OF SOCIALISTS.
Ray Stannard Baker Says That Is Ef.
feet of Mr.. Rogers Attitude.

Ray Stannard Baker was in Law
renee yesterday interviewing w. Ros-
coe Stubbs about the freight rate sit
uation. Baker is associate editor of
McClure's Magazine, and is getting
up a story about the freight rate
question, says the Kansas City Star.
He attended the recent freight rate
convention at Wichita. In an inter-
view Mr.. Baker says:
Just such actions as those of Mr..
Rogers are making socialists in this
past in this country when one man Is
bigger than the law. There isn't any
use of a man defying the law. I
think it was decidedly poor grace on
the part of Mr.. Rogers to joke of Mr..
Hadley and the investigation which
he is conducting. But / am an op-
timist. I do not know just how all
these things are going to be worked
out, but feel they are coming. The
people of this country will wake up
some day and assert their right to
own this government.
"At present the government Is en-
tirely too largely controlled by the
Standard Oil and the railroads. The
senate of the United States ought to
be brought nearer the people. And
I have said I am hopeful,
"Kansans know more about rail-
road rates than most people in this
country. / should say that WiscOn-
sin is about the only other state in
which the people are generally so well
posted upon this situation. But
looked on this Wichita gathering and
talked with a number OF men out In
that country, cattlemen and others
They showed a good understanding OF
the situation. Most of all, the busi-
ness men of the state are in it.
believe that they are starting in the
right direction"
Mr.. Baker says that j. Ogden Ar
mour in his article in the Saturday
Evening Post of recent date, virtual
ly charged commission men with be-
ing dishonest. He says that Is only
Mr.. Armour's side of the story. The
American people, however, are pleas
ed, he believes, that Mr.. Armour
should have vouchsafed some infor-
nation on the subject and that the
thing of which they are desirous Is
publicity.

EXECUTION OF SPIES.
The Way the Death Sentence Is Car
ried Out In England.

ried Out In England.
The ceremony Of disposing Of a con
demned spy in the English army al
ways follows definite precedent. The
unfortunate man Is surrounded by
detachment of infantry, and after he
is provided with pick and shovel he
is marched Off to selected spot and
ordered to dig his own grave. This
done, the tools are taken from him
and his eyes are bandaged. The at
tending chaplain reads portions select
ed from the burial service, and from
the ranks of the escort twelve men are
selected at random by the officer in
charge. These men, having stacked
their own rifles. are led to where twelve
other rifles are awaiting them, six Of
which are loaded with blank cartridges.
One of these is handed to each man, so
that no one knows whether the rife he
holds contains a bullet or not and none
can say for certain that the shot fired
by him killed the prisoner. The firing
party then marches to an appointed
position. The commands Present"
"Firer' are given, and almost before
the last word rings out the volley is
fred and the spy falls into the grave
he has dug. Nearly every man Is more
or less affected on being selected to
form one Of the firing party, and many
men have been known to faint away on
being singled out, while others are so
overcome as to be scarcely able to pull
the triggers Of their rifles.

Echo, Feb. 12.-Sheriff Shut, OF
Morrow county. has been in this vicin-
ity for a few days trying to locate
William Davis, who is said to have
forged several checks at this place of
late. He forged them on a sheepman
near Heppner whom he claimed to be
working for. He first forged a num-
ber in small amounts which totaled
over 500, and the last batch amount
ed u nearly that much. They were all
honored by the Bank of Echo, and
the first ones were honored by the
Heppner bank, and it was not until
several days after the last ones had
been received that it was discovered
that they were apparently forgeries.
Davis spent some time in Echo and
seemed at his ease, and left suddenly,
saying he had job. The entire coun-
try is being searched for him.

the following morning he was aston

Fish and Game Commission of New
 Hampshire Made Money.

Concord, N. H., Dec 20.-Five hundred and seventy-five licenses have been issued by the state fish and game commission to sportsmen outside the state this year, netting a revenue to the state of nearly $6,000. For the further protection of game within the woods. 1t Is thought the commissioners may suggest to the governor and council in the biennial report that all residents of the state except the foreign population who carry a gun into the woods be fined $1. The Greeks. Poles and Armen- fans, 1t is said, go into the woods. in season and out. killing anything from a song bird to a deer. and for the purpose of restricting this prac- tice as much as possible 1t has been suggested that this class pay $10 for hunting privilege as do hunters outside the state.
 In the closed counties considerable damage has been done by deer and there is a movement to have the stat utes revised so as to permit deer hunting in all counties within cer- tain time.
