A Fish Story.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 "Yes," said the herman, 'I caught them all myself of course. Stale? How can they be, when they were swimming about this morning?"
 He lighted his pipe, sniffed the malo- dorous fish carefully, unused while and resumed:
 How wonderfully intelligent fish are. Did I ever tell you about Pitt Sing. my pet Japanese fan-tailed goldfish? Jacob Hope bred her: she was one of his prize winners; and 1 am not ashamed to say l paid $45 for her, though she is no longer than your finger.
 But about her intelligence. Of course she comes when called and eats out of your hand, and all that childish non sense; but here's a thing she did which indicates thought. reasoning, brain work
 "One day eandlestick fell from the mantel onto the thick glass bowl in which Pitt Sing was dreaming. The candlestick cracked the bowl and knocked small hole in it about the size of a marble. Pitt Sing all alone in the drawing room, saw the water that was essential to her existence flowing swiftly forth through th. hole, and what do you think she did? She plugged up the leak with her tail, and in that position I found her on my return an hour or so later.
 She had saved her life, but the end of her tail, from exposure to the dry air was all shriveled and cracked. had to massage it with cold cream before the poor little thing could swim again"

HAD THEIR PICTURES MADE.
First Indian Bridal Couple to VoIun-
 tarily Face Camera.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Gradually the Indians of the southwest become more civilized and take unto themselves the ways of the white man with whom they come 'n contact as citi- zenship proceeds westward. A few years ago the Indians were united in marriage in an informal way by the buck going to the habitation of his bride-elect and taking her to his home-the tepee. Di- vorces were obtained as easily Since the settlement of the Kiowa- Comanche coun- try. five years ago. there have been many changes among the Apaches, Comanches and Kiowas. Numbers have received mar riage licenses and few have secured diyorces granted by courts of justice.
 Walter War-che-ta-ku and Edith Tah- ba-kaeh, both Comanches, recently se- cured marriage license and were mar ried by w. H. Hussey, probate judge of Lawton. Hardly had the word been pro- nounced making the Indians man and wife until they were in a photograph gallery having their picture made. This Is the first time in the history of the southwest where an Indian bridal couple had a picture taken. Both of these In- dians are of notable parentage. They live at the foothills of the Wichita noun tains, near Mount Scott, the most noted peak in the range.

JAP PROMISES uNFULFlLLEp.
Don't Return to China Property Appro-
 priated During War.

Mukden, May 1.-The repeated promises made by the Japanese for the past three years to return to China the property ap- propriated through the exigencies of war are still unfulhlled. In consequence of this China is expressing much indigna- tion at what is considered a gross breach of faith.
 Yet the recovery is considered doubtful of a large amount of government and private property in numerous places throughout Manchuria which was appro- priated by Japan without compensation, on the sole pretext that China had failed to observe neutrality in allowing Russia to occupy these buildings, mines and land.
 This excuse is not considered honest because Japan is fully aware of China s helplessness to enforce neutrality, while Japan, in regard to abuse of neutrality, is considered equally guilty. Russia holds much appropriated property which has been leased to Japan traders without any compensation to China.

ROBSON AT HAMILTON.
WEALTHIEsT DOG IS DEAD.
"Bill" of Chicago Left an Estate
 Valued at $2o,ooo.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Bill, the wealthiest dog In Chicago, Is dead and buried That fact was made public the other day, when the will of his master, George c. Watts, was flied for probate in Indianapolis, Ind. Of the es- tate, valued at $100,000, left by Watts s2O 900 was set aside for the support of the dog, who had been his constant com panion for years.
 The chief beneficiary of the will rapidly failed in health after the death or ms owner, in spite of the most expensive canine delicaoies that were provided for him. He even had the services of phy- sician, but finally succumbed to grief be- cause of the loss of his master. Bill who was a fox terrier of great intelligence, was buried with appropriate ceremonies.
 When Mir. Watts will was opened about a year ago, 1t was found, among other things, that Willis K. Gore of 5472 Ellis avenue had been appointed executor and Col James Mayfield caretaker for the animal at a good salary. King, the horse which MT. Watts drove for many years was also provided for with an annuity of S30C. He Is now 2l years old, and Is spending the spring days in MT. Gore s pasture south of the city
 The $20000 which was bequeathed to the dog will be d1Nideu between lour cndT- itable institutions-the Old Peoples home, 1850 Indiana avenue; the Chicago orphan asylum, hi20 South Park avenue; the Home for Incurables, Fifty-sixth street and Ellis avenue, and the Salvation army 3gg State street. The above named in- stitutions, with the exception of a few small bequests, will also get the rest of the estate.
 Mr. Watts was Il building contractor. He never married and had no living rela- lives at the time of his death. The dog, Bill, accompanied him on trip to Europe and on all of hls other journeys
