Fishing With Electric Light.

Bud Ashlock of ElizabethtoWn, KY,
who is one Of the best fishermen in
that section or any other section, is
fixing to scoop UP all the Elizabeth
town sports who use the reel and line
Whereabouts. He has new contriv-
ance which he thinks is sure to catch
them, says the Elijah ethtown News.
A small wire runs through the eyelets
on the pole down the line to just below
the hook, where q small electric light
Is attached. The wire is connected on
the bank with a small portable bat
terry. When the line Is dropped into
the water the light is turned on and
attracts all the fish for fifty yards
around. OF course the first one to see
the wriggling minnoW takes the cork
under, and the fish is landed. Every
body is waiting now to hear from Bud
when he goes fishing. 8ss

Al VOYAGE Of Death.

In the Sea Of Okhotsk the salmon are
suicidal and one Of the most startling
examples OF the spendthrift side of
nature may be found in the rivers
that run into this sea. When six years
old the salmon begin voyage Of
death. Ascending the river Of their in
fancy they race in countless thousands
upstream until lack Of food and lack
of elbow room kill them off. A recent
traveller declares that however many
millions Of salmon may run up the
river, not one ever reaches the sea
again alive. What becomes of the
rivers of dead salmon? The seagulls
wheel down upon the, scene and feast
upon their eyes, scorning anything less
dainty. Bears, wolves. foxes and
sledge dogs are made comfortable for
the year.

The Vanishing Trick.

Into the grocer's shop walked an an
Client, lady with slow and halting
tread and carrying on her arm a bas-
ket containing a large earthenware pot
with lid. Placing the basket on the
counter, she made various purchases,
which she put carefully in the pot and
had her bill made out. &.
BY the way" she said before paying
this, do you mind keeping this pot
with the purchases in it until / come
back and pay for them, as have to
buy other things some distance off,
and it will be more convenient for me
to leave the things here till later?"
This request was willingly acceded
to, and, lifting the pot carefully out
of the basket, the old dame placed it,
with an effort, in corner; then, plac-
ing her basket on her arm, left the
shop. Hours went by, day ripened
into evening, and evening gave way
to night, but the old woman did not
return. At.last the proprietor thought
of examining the earthenware pot to
see if by any chance it had its owners
address upon it, and great was his as
constituent, not untinged with dis
may, to find that it possessed no bot

W:scheraft In the Nineteenth Century.
Most people believe that witchcraft
among civilized people ended when the
Salem witch mania" ran it's course
and died out in the year 1892. 1T did
as far as America is concerned, except
among savages, but in other countries
the belief in the superstition did not
die until much later date, even If it
can be truly said to be dead now. In
France an old beggar was tortured to
death as late as 1907 on the charge Of
being one who 'scommuned with evil
spirits" and in Spain witch was
burned in 1908. In 1850 in France a
man and his wife tortured a suspected
witch to death, and nothing at all was
done with them by the criminal courts
on account of the lingering belief in
sorcery. Four years later a witch was
drowned in England. and in 1860 one
was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1879,
1880 and again in 1889 witches were
publicly burned In Russia, and even
as late as 1890 regular judicial trials
Of witches were had in Prussia, Po-
land and Austria-Hungary.

AND HE GETS HIS MONEY

Fargo Forum: Ex-Secretary j. l..
Hooker and Attorney lilly returned
from DEVILS Lake last night, where
they went in connection with affairs
relating to the board of barber ex-
aminers.
A day or two ago Mr.. Hooker was
arrested on charge preferred by a
member of the board, alleging OBJ
struction of the business of the board
by the reason that. as secretary, Mr..
Hooker declined to turn over the
books and records. Mr.. Hooker de-
clined to do SO until some Sass. O4,
which he claims to have expended
out of his own pocket for books,
blanks and general expenses was re-
funded to him.
When investigated in the court at
Devils Lake the charge against Mr..
Hooker was promptly dismissed and
further, Mr.. Hooker was properly Sc
cured for the amount which he claims
was due him and he will now turn
over the books and records of the
board. 1t is generally conceded that
the accounts and affairs of the board
Of barber examiners have been &C
curately and properly kept by Mr..
Hooker and generally he is in favor
with the trade over the state. for
the administration OF his office and
his strict enforcement of the barber

SILVER WEDDINGS.

They Had Their Origin In the Reign
'of Husues oapet. "
The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hughes Capet,
king of France in $751; a.. .~,,.aAs,s. T., u
Once as Hughes was arranging his
uncle's affairs he found on one of the
estates a servant who had grown gray
in the service Of his relative He had
been such d friend Of his master that
he was almost looked upon as one of
the family. a.5.s.,s. ~
On the farm with this old man was
also a serving woman who was as old
as he and also unmarried and who had
been the most devoted and hardwork-
Ing Of the women servants Of the kings
uncle. When the king heard these
praises of the two, he ordered them to
be brought before him and said to the
woman: Id ,s..
Your service is great, greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than
man, and therefore I will give you a

better than a dowry and a husband.
The dowry Is here--this farm from this
time forth belongs to you. If this man
who has worked with you five and
twenty years is willing to marry you,
then the husband is ready =.
Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant confusedly, 'how is it possible
That we should marry, having already
silver hairs?" f..
"Then it shall be silver wedding"
answered the king, ''and here / give
you wedding ring" drawing a costly
ring from his finger and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
France and raised such enthusiasm
that it became a fashion after a TWEEN
ty-fve years marriage to celebrate a
silver wedding.
