CATCHES DEER AND TROUT
Fisherman Breaks the Record for One
Line In a Days Sport.

Izaaks Walton. A fisherman has Just
doae the trick on the Arrow lakes,
says the Toronto Globe. The deer
Weighed 200 pounds and the trout ten.
The fisherman was trolling for trout
when several deer swan past his boat.
One was an old buck and the man
managed to catch hold of him as he
was going by. N
Having no gun, he tried to kill the
animal with a claspknife. The buck
objected so strenuously that he got
away, swimming off with the fishing
line upon his horns. The fisherman
baiied out his boat and started in pur-
suit. After two hours rowing he
caught up with the deer and with oars
and knife succeeded in Staying it..
While the chase was proceeding big
trout got on the hook and after the
deer was safely landed the fish was
secured. It is quite a common occur
renee to see deer swimming in the
lakes of British Columbia, but to cap
ture one and trout at the same time
is infrequent.

PENS TO LAST FOREVER.
Made Of New Metal, They Are Practi-
caIIy lndestructible.

One of the properties of tantalite, q
new metal discovered in Germany not
long ago, is that it can be utilized in
the manufacture of pen which will
be practically everlasting. The metal
is SO hard that diamond drill work
ing at the rate of 5000 revolutions per
minute, hardly makes an impression
upon its surface, and it can be rolled
SO thin that the pen will have all the
desired resiliency.
This pen will therefore withstand
great amount of hard usage. It will
really be a difficult thing to put it out
of business. No character of ink will
affect it; in fact, it will resist all chem
icals to a very deep degree.
A company has been formed in Ger
many to make these pens and to en-
gage in the manufacture of tools of
different kinds. The process of pro-
ducing this metal in a perfectly pure
state was discovered by DR.. Werner
Won Bolton, and his invention has
made the material available.

The Spreading Beech Tree.

As ornamental trees the beeches at
tract attention primarily on account of
their dignity of form and peculiarly
''clean" appearance. They give ample

remarkably free from the insect pests,
and they can generally be readily
transplanted. They thrive best in a
rich, deep, sandy loan, but will grow
well in any ordinary soil. The trees
attain height of 80 to 100 feet. In

SHOOTING in Public.

The reputation, and therefore the
prosperity of this city is marred from
time to time by shooting scrapes" of
the most aggravated type-a type that
mining camps and frontiers indulge in,
and that are unknown in law-abiding
communities.
1t is customary to attribute them to
one thing or another, but one rarely
hears the true cause suggested, name.
ly, lax public sentiment, which finds
expression in namby-pamby juries.
Sometimes these juries verge upon cor
ruption, for the professional juror is
generally equipped with a minimum of
backbone and highly elastic con-
science.
The evasion of jury duty by those
who should consider 1t one of the high
est of duties, togelAer with a general
laxity of public sentiment when crime
is committed and law and order out
ragged by those who can command
money or influential friends, is the
source of the trouble, and there is no
use of seeking elsewhere for it.
The law is wholly sufficient, but
when the enforcement of the law is
submitted to a discriminating or senti-
mental petit jury it simply becomes a
farce. Birmingham has been sadly
afflicted with such farces. 1t has
sowed the wind and is reaping from
time to time the whirlwind. An hon.
est confession is good for the soul, and
the public soul in this community may
as we'll stand up and take its medi-
cine.
The remdy lies in the jury room.
The professional juror must go, and
in order to drive him out-in order to
stop the packing of juries which has
become branch of the legal profes.
sion, every man who is summoned by
the sheriff to serve as a juror should
put aside all private business and be-
come for once good citizen.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
MATTERS OF THE TIMES

RER In beginning life's voyage
~ young man naturally thinks of
companion. Get good first
mate and stick to her. 1t is easy to lay
down laws for achieving matrimonial
bliss, but one of the fundamentals is,
DON'T ARGUE. You may be right but
DON'T ARGUE. More valuable time is
wasted In arguments than in all other
foolish practices put together. 1t is bad
enough for friends to engage in contro-
versial disputes, but when two souls that
are supposed to have but single thought
have two pronounced thoughts on the
same subject Ii is time to arbitrate We
cannot lay too much stress on the disas-
trous results caused by arguing, there
fore you note that we emphasize our re-
marks by writing a warning in capital
letters. 1t has been said that Love flies
out of the window when Poverty knocks
at the door. That being the case, he
sneaks under the bed when a domestic
argument begins and slips out of the
house at the first opportunity. We
haven't time to tell you why two can live
cheaper than one-see fifteen million
authorities on the subject-but If you
won't argue two can live as quietly as
one.

Sons OF the South.

Away back in 1S4S Zachary Taylor
of Louisiana-born in Kentucky-was
elected President, and in all the years
since that time no southern man has
been a nominee of united great party
of the country. When the democratic
party split in two parts in 1860, one
part did make John c. Breckenridge
its candidate, but to all intents and
purposes Zachary Taylor ended the
direct participation of the south in
presidential elections.
But in all the intervening years,
which will number sixty in 1908, the
south has cast great many electoral
votes for democratic nominees, and
Texas, for example, wants to know why
her Mr.. Bailey or her Mr.. Culberson
should not be considered eligible as
possible nominees-why consistent
voting should not confer at least an
occasional right of nominating.

question that cuts very deep, and it
has been carried so far that southern
men who live below border states have
been boycotted by the vice-presidency.
One would think that running mate
to northern standardbearer would
not offend the sectional voter, but there
are some who say it does, and so 1t
has come about that fifteen broad
states growing the country's chief ex'
port crop, have been boycotted from
a White House point of view. There
must be limit to such nonsense, and
1t may be that the limit can quickest
be reached and overcome by little
