sure to show at least a few of these little
bodies which suddenly appear. dart swiftly
across the sky and then vanish. The So
called Aquiifds, which may be seen during
tho entire month, move in every direction
from the constellation Aquila: the Lyrids
similarly appear to move outwardiy from
the constellation Lyra- The shooting stars
proceeding from Aquila are blush, swiftly
moving bodies, while those from Lyra are
yellowish and slow moving and frequently
leave trains behind them. Toward the close
of the month the Aauarids will become nu-
stars from the constellation Aquarius and
they form the most heavy shower of the

places in my field will yield 30 or
40 bushels to the acre. and some won't
make bushels. It is the same way
all over Rawlins county We are short
of hands in Rawlins county, and wages
are sky-high. Men who understand
the business can get from $3.50 to
$3.50 day and board. Rawlins coun-

HIT By A BIG BASS.
George Clark says He Was Nearly
Knocked Out of Boat.

The tellers of fish stories will kindly
retire behind the curtain while they
recover from this one which George
Clark, formerly state printer, is going
around proudly exhibiting.
Mr.. Clark is a fisherman for the love
of it and he follows wherever duty
calls him. It called him to Lake View
and he answered. Getting out in the
middle of the lake with a boat he
threw out tempting offers to the bass
to come and get caught. In the midst
of his endeavors he was startled by a
sudden splash and saw a big seven
pound bass making straight for him.
For a while he thought it was going
straight over the boat. But no. 1t hit
Mr.. Clark right in the pit Of his stom-
ach and nearly knocked him out of the
boat. Before the ex-state printer
could recover from his establishment
the bass had Topped out of the boat.
The only thing that remained Of the
big seven FOUNDER was widening rip
pies of the water where it had been
disturbed by the plunge on his return
| to his native water.
Honest. that place where the fish
4 hit me was sore for several days after
wards. Those bass are the jumpfngest
/ fish ever said Mr. Clark Now when
ever he comes out to Lake View the
bass all thump a welcome with then
! tails on the bottom of the lake.
