The ability of girl to do without

Thousands Of girls marry and set up
housekeeping whose experience In cook

inadequate for the daily food Of a
Woodworking husband.
So, also, the girl is supposed to know
by instinct how to mend and sew. A

Two generations ago in a famous
school for girls in an Eastern city sew
ing was an important part Of the cur
riculum. The first task of a new stu
dent was the making Of shirt FOR
father or brother. Every stitch in that
shirt was set by thread. If seam
had to be ripped a dozen times, it must
be fit for the closest inspection. This
zeal on the part of the school was some

she was & years old. So we'll did she
sew at that age that she was excused
from making the shirt, and set at once

muslin collar, covered with embroidery
as exquisite as lace.
The promise of the 6-year-eld child
was richly fulfilled, and her needle was
for long lifetime high satisfaction
to herself and joy to her fortunate
family and friends. Sewing was never
a slavery to her, but always fasci-
mating creative occupation. The patch
on jacket, the darn Of a stocking or
the embroidery of gown or q napkin
were alike welcome calls upon her ca
pable fingers. When people spoke Of
her ability to turn off sewing, she used
to say:I

sportsmen have turned their attention
from the northern lakes to the Illinois
rivers and neighboring lakes. For the
small lakes all along the rivers show
the same wonderful increase In pis-
catorial population.
Complaints Of the alleged effects on
Lake Michigan fisheries at first were

tees, but they have become SO numerous
that these officials have been forced ia
take cognizance of them. The rivers
gain Is Lake Michigan's loss, 1t is de-
clared, and how to prevent the exodus
of lake fish is problem that the SAM
tary trustees are now wrestling with.
SO far. the only solution of the prob
lem that has been suggested is the
building Of fishways at all the dams
and locks along the artificial water
route. But this, it is feared, would
weaken the dams, and it is doubtful If
1T would be possible to construct them
in manner that would permit the fish
to make their way back to Lake Mich
igan, once they had wandered so far
away as the Illinois River. Two meth
DDS of constructing the fishways have
been proposed-one consisting of what
Is known as fish ladder, which would
consist OF series Of steps, over which
the water in descending would turn the
fall into cascade, and thus permit
the fish to climb back in pursuing
their return journey to the lake: the
other comprising a chute with sinu-
GUS track for diminishing the velocity
and assisting the passage Of the fish to
the level above the DAM. Because of
the nature of the locks and dams, their
width and number, it is doubted if this
device would prove successful, even If
the construction did not interfere so
materially with the mechanical opera
tons.
The appearance Of the new types of
fish, entirely different from anything
recorded by former naturalists. has
stirred up the scientists, and the here
tofore despised Des PLANES River has
come into prominence as the center of
piscatorial interest, for 1t Is here that
the new types and increased number of
fishes have attracted widespread atten-
ton.
The strange and new types Of fishes,
never noticed to any great extent until
this year, are undoubtedly the result
of the intercrossing that came about
after the invaders from the lake had
accustomed themselves to the new en-
vironments. On finding it impossible
to make their way back to the lake.
they settled down to make the best of
their life in the narrow confines of the
rivers and accept the condition Of mis-
cegenation with the river fishes as the
best for all concerned.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A False Alarm

On Monday morning report was circulated in Clifton that Telesforc Gomez and another Mexican were murdered in the White mountains. Both Mexicans are well known in Clifton and naturally everybody be- came interested in the report. An unknown Mexican started the report that he had seen the two men and was confident that they had been murder ed. As the return of Gomez and his partner was overdue, the report was accepted for the truth, and a search ing party was sent out to recover the bodies. The next day the supposed Corpses rode into town very much alive. The imagination of the man who saw the bodies must have been wonderful or the dago red must have gotten in its work.

J. H. T. Cosper and Chas. Thomas two of the oldest and best known cattlemen of the Blue country, visited Clifton this week on business. They report a good deal of rain and snow in their country and are of the opin- lon that the mountains are going to be covered with coat of white this year, at least it is raining a great deal. Cattle are in fine shape how ever, and they will make a shipment of fat steers to the local market in the near future. MT. Cosper reports another bear story, which gives him eighty-seven notches on his gun. He was out in the hills on the 18th of this month and mixed things with a big grizzly bear. MT. Cosper is somewhat of a fighter, but this bear weighed 800 pounds and MT. Cosper deposited several pounds of lead in him, before the animal gave up. He was cut off from his horse and as the bear was crowding him in a rough place, there was nothing lett to depend upon but his faithful rife. Things were ex- Ceedingly interesting and when the last shot was fired the muZZle of the gun almost touched the bear. The monster fell at Mir. COsper's feet, thus making another narrow escape for him

A. C. Carpenters Contract for Warehouse

R. l.. Frisby and G. w. White, two of the A. c. contractors who quit work when the cut in wages took place, have accepted contract from the A. c. company to finish the new addition to the supply warehouse. The boys have resumed the work and are working nearly all of the old men. They are now working eight hours instead of nine and the work is progressing nicely, and all parties concerned appear to be well satisfied. There is yet d considerable amount of work to be done on the warehouse. It is probable that this contract will lead to others.

Louis Ferber, who is working sil- yer claim southeast of Morenci, made carload shipment to the Douglas shelter Monday of this week. Assays indicate that a good margin will be derived from the shipment. The ore is from the newly discovered silver district and Louis is of the opinion that he has a good proposition. Other work is being done on the silver claim and if the above sample shipment pans out as we'll as is expected, there will be more activity manifested in the very near future.

Local officers were notified by tele- phone one day this week of a murder that occurred in the upper end of Chase creek. It was a wet day and the officers ruined their clothes to locate the scene of the tragedy. The report stated that Mexican had shot woman. When the officers ar rived in the neighborhood of the shooting no one living there would say anything about it. After thirty minutes or longer they found the woman. She was shot through the palm of the hand and claimed that it was an accident. The Mexicans al ways avoid the officers in cases of this kind and those people should be arrested and fined for handling such dangerous weapons in a careless manner.
