ert J. Kleberg. the manager of the
ranch, that it would be a good idea
to stock the lakes which had been
formed by these flowing wells with
bass. A large supply of these fish
were obtained from United States
government hatcheries and placed in
the newly created fresh bodies Of
water.
1t has been five or six years since
some of these lakes were stocked
with bass. The fish have thrived
wonderfully and in no part of the
country is better bass fishing afford
ed than this remote territory, where
not many years ago there was not
enough water to prevent cattle from
perishing by the thousands of head
in time of drOuth.
MeXicans, gray with age, who had
never seen a fresh water fish until
these new bodies of water were Gre
Iated have become expert anglers, and
upon the tables of the homes of these
people splendid bass are a part Of
the daily food supply. Fishing is
prohibited in lakes which have been
stocked only recently, but in those

AS many of the lakes are connect
! ed by streams of running water pro-
| vided from the artesian wells, the
fish are enabled to travel from one
feeding ground to another. Some
OF the lakes are literally alive with
the gamy fish
1t is claimed that fishing in these
artificial bodies of water is already
as good as in the lakes of Michigan
and other northern states
The largest bass ever landed in
Texas was caught in an artesian wa
ter lake on the ranch of Mrs. King
by Richard Kleberg, her grandson.
1t tipped the scales at II pounds.
1t belonged to the small mouth
species and was 3115 inches long.
1t is a common thing to catch bass
weighing as much as six or seven
hounds

LOWELL A POLYGLOT CITY
Has Nearly Thirty Races and Nearly
Ten Thousand Greeks. The
Coffee HOuSpS.

Perhaps no other city of its size
in the world contains such a poly
glot population as Lowell, Mass. 1t
has among it's 100000 people nearly
80 distinct races and today the pop
ulation is about equally balanced be-
tween English speaking people and
those of alien tongue
The Greeks form by far the largest
foreign colony in the city. They be-
gan going there a few years ago
in small numbers, and at present
number 10000. There is not a po-
litical division in Greece, nor city
nor village that has not representa-
tives. There are 5000 Thesalians,
5000 Macedonians and other hun
dreds from Messenia, LacOnia, Cor
NTH, Crete, Piraeus, Pyrgos, Sparta
and Athens. These people consti-
tute a city within a city. They have
their own newspaper, church, and
peculiar institutions so that the col
Ony conforms in almost every way
to a Greek city in Europe.

The Coffee Houses.

The principal business of the
young men who have had money to
invest is the coffee house, and there
are a score of these. The scenes wit
messed afternoons and evenings at
these places, where gather the old
and young men to read the papers.
drink Turkish coffee and talk politics,
are typical of those seen in the
Athenian coffee houses, where Amer
leans delight to go when travelling
through Greece.
During the last five years many
Americans have contracted the habit
of paying frequent visits to these
coffee houses. Once an American
would be stared at if he entered a
Greek coffee house, but now he goes
in alone and eats foreign things with
as much ease as he would enter a
Chinese restaurant.
Young Greeks work in the mills
largely, although many of the better
educated ones are engaged in profit
able business. There are three
Greek doctors, a Greek band, a
Greek lawyer, a Greek school, Greek
teachers, Greek drug stores and 9TH
err business places.

nell, rector Of the Catholic University

filed and the entire sanctuary space
was needed to accommodate the large
number OF visiting priests who came 10

Rarely has more beautiful tribute
been paid 10 the dead than that which
was embodied IN the sermon of Father
O COnncll. The latter was associated
with Dr.. Stafford many years in the
Ohio diocese and had been requested by
Ut SldHOIu 10 preach the funeral ser
mon. He was unable To do this. but his
tribute today was affecting and eIO-
uuenT.
Father O'ConneH told Of DR. Stafford's

called many traits in his character
which were known only 10 his more
intimate friends.

ties among the poor of Cincinnati and
of Washington. his zeal IN pursuing. his
literary studies IN order to make them

VIRGINIA CLAIMS
$l,62O.OOO DEBT

In consequence OF a little job of Dor
rowing that was done by George Wash
ington, the State Of Virginia is asking
the Government of the United states
to pay back to It the modest sum OF
81 $40, 90
The Father OF His Country, II appears,
had the project OF building up the new
city OF Washington much at heart, and
also his influence was strong In his ma
tive State. So ne got Virginia TO lend
$4,000 to help build the White House
and other public buildings in the Dis
trict of Columbia. This sum has never
been paid back Representative Carlin
has introduced a bill in the House for
the repayment of the original debt with
interest making up the total of Sl,620,000
named.
The bill provides the money shall be
paid to the Mt Vernon Avenue Associa-
ton to which the State of Virginia has
released all its claims for the debt, and
that the association shall use the money
for building 4 magnificent boulevard
along the south bank Of the Potomac
from that point where the proposed me-
mortal bridge will touch the south bank
to Mt. Vernon. The boulevard is to be
200 feet wide and different sections Of
it are to be decorated and beautied
by the different States. The Govern
ment, 1t appears, has never denied the
justice Of the claim, but the State has
never pushed It actively. The Senate
passed a similar Dill some years ago.
but the House did not act on it
Congress has already appropriated $50

ward and the War Department has
