How Sawfish Uses Its Saw.

More energetic than any other
sharks are the sawfish, whose snouts
are prolonged into a broad blade of
cartilage, which is horizontal when the
fish is swimming in a normal posi-
tion and has both its edges set with
slightly curved teeth about an inch
apart. The end of this formidable
looking weapon is blunt and compare
lively soft, so that it is quite incapa-
BILE of the feats popularity attributed to
it of piercing whales bodies, ships
timbers, etc. 1t attacks other fish by
a swift lateral thrust of the saw be-
meath them. Then it feeds upon the
soft entrails, which are apparently the
only food it can eat from the peculiar
shape of it's mouth. 1t has an enor-
nous number of small teeth, some
times as many as so rows in one indi-
vidual, but they are evidently unfit
for the rough duties required of their
teeth by the garbage-eating members
of the family.-Fish Lore.

Fish InsensibIe to Pain.

How sensitive to pain are fish? A
correspondent writes: II have small
pond which is stocked with trout. I
keep an accurate account of those l
catch and note when I lose any. The
other morning a big rainbow trout
broke the worm hook with which had
hooked him. That evening / hooked
and landed good trout, also with
worm tackle, which proved to be my
friend of the morning, as right down
in his stomach was the broken gut
and hook, and, besides this, In his lip
was a March brown fly hook which,
according to my fishing hook, must
have been there many weeks. A fish
with fly hook in his mouth, a worm
hook In his stomach and ready to gulp
down bait must be quite impervious to
what we mortals call pain"

MARRIAGES
EIRN-STANDHARDT

Mr.. Louis Kirn, son of Alder
man L. A. Kirn and Miss Edmee
Standhardt, daughter of retired
merchant stole a march On their
parents and friends last Thursday
and went to Wellsville and were
quietly married by Rev. j. G.
H ouse, pastor OF the Presbyterian
church of that place. The young
couple returned to this city and
each to their respective home with
the expectation of keeping the
wedding a secret for future date.
The bride however was betwixt
love and duty and it caused her
some sorrow as we'll as Joy. She
fl nally "broke down" and admit
ted to her parents Eat the
breakfast table that she was
no longer Miss Edmee but
was now Mrs. Louis Kirn. The
announcement proved quite a
surprise to both parents and
friends of the popular young
couple, but as there were no SER
ious objections parental blessings
followed and the couple were
allowed to arrange for the bridal
trip to Colorado where they may
locate. A feature of the 70 nance
is the fact that the happy couple
have been sweethearts since child
hood, and that when the bride was
only three weeks old, (twenty lone
years ago) her mother took her to
see her future husband", who
was then only one week old, the
bride being two weeks older than
her husband. The couple are
members of two old and highly
respected families of Montgomery

GOVERNOR FOLKS VISIT
A Fair crowd created him last Satur-
day. Not much enthusiasm
was shown. Folk appoint
ees In evidence.

Last Saturday was Folk day in
Montgomery City. The Governor
arrived here on the noon train
from st. Louis and was met at the
depot by the following reception
committee:
Senator A. II. Drunert, of Jones'
burg, former Circuit Judge, H. w.
johnson, S. S. Nowlin, j. L. Nc
Quie, Prosecuting Attorney E. p.
Rosenberger, II. S. Jacks, G. @.
Crump, w. L. Gupton, all of
Montgomery City; Silas Carr,
George Wyatt, Hester Walton and
George Young, of Jonesburg, and
John Cullen, of Wellsville.
The Montgomery band furnish
ed the music.
The committee escorted Mr..
Folk to the hotel Bob Caruthers,
where he was royalty entertained.
A little after 2 o'clock it became
apparent that the circuit court
room would not hold the crowd
who wished to hear the Governors
address and the committee pre-
vailed upon the Governor to de-
liver his speech in the open air.
John w. Jacks called the meet
irg to order, and Prosecuting At
torney E. p. Rosenberger was
hosen Chairman. Mr.. Rosen-
b erger in brief, but ssable speech
introduced the Governor to the ex-
pectant crowd. The audience was
p erhaps all that could be expected
at this time of year when the
ia Imers are so busy. 1t was COM
p osed largely of the towns people
OF this city and the adjoining
cities OF the county.
A large percentage of the audi.
ence was ladies.
Mr.. Folk made a strong temper.
a nee talk and asked the support o.
those who could endorse his course
since he has held office. Among
other things he said.
sis it better for an official tt
serve the lawless elements than tt
serve the people? l do not thinl
SO. The lawless elements say
they always stand by those who
serve them, and ridicule the ides
that the people can be depended
upon to stand by those who serv,
against their enemies.
81 am willing to trust the peo
PIC. | believe they will be faith
full to those who have been faith
full to them. The lawless saloon
k eepers of the cities are fighting
n OF for existence, but for the privi
lege of lawlessness. / say frankl,
that | prefer to be defeated witt
their opposition than to be electe'
with their support.
81 want to be elected over thei
protests or not at all. l do nc
want their votes, nor do
W ant or accept the votes of an,
man who believes l should hav
violated my oath of Office by al
lowing the saloons and other in
terests the privilege of lawless
} ness.
81 do want the votes of all thos
who believe l did right.
, Before leaving the city 3o,
: Folk promised the committee ths
he would speak at the Old Settler
Picnic at New Florence ne1
, August.
