UNIQUE DIVING FOR FISH.
Curious Method Employed by the
Natives a Panlaune River.

A unique method of fishing is en-
rloyed by natives along the Panlaung
river says the Rengoon Gazette.
Two dugout boats are employed
about 80 feet long, with two men with
long poles, one in the bow, the other
at the stern punting the boat along.
They stretch a long rope made of
hamboos and plated grass about 100
yards long and weighted about every
ten yards with big stones. This they
let down into the water and the fish
are frightened toward the bank.
The divers then jump in three at
a time, remaining down about 20 Sec
onds.
They carry gaffs about Is inches
long and fishhooks with cords at
tached. When they strike fish they
let go the gam and the fish is hauled
up in the boat.

Palestine with motor car, the consul

ease, even roads that had been pro

being traversed without difficulty. He
says that great interest has been
aroused throughout the district, and
that a number of people are talking
of investing in cars. He recommends
a light, strong car, with good clear

THEIR MONEY IN OLD noors.
How Russian Farmers In Kansas Hid
Their Wealth.

Ellis county has more money hid
den in tin cans and old boots than is
deposited in the banks said Val L.
Gross. banker and broker of Hays
City. Kan, to a correspondent Of the
Washington Post.
"Old boots are the proper things,
continued the Kansas banker. be
cause the people who hide their money
in our county, as a rule, have no old
socks to use for that purpose. They
do not wear socks. They are Rus
slams, who have no working knowl-
edge of our banking system, and who
show no disposition to learn much
about it.
They do their own banking. Their
strong box consists of tin can or an
old boot, and their safety deposit vault
is hole under the barn or in the Gel
lar. When they want to buy some
thing. they pay cash for it, When
they sell something they demand the
cash and hide it,
1T is a conservative estimate to
say that more than half of the actual
cash of Ellis county is hidden. Our
deposits come chiefly from lie Amer
leans. Comparatively few of the Rus
slams do any banking business. We
have conducted campaign among
them for years, and some of the young
er element are beginning 10 patronize
MS. But the old-timers are still hold
ing off. and probably will continue to
do so for the rest of their lives.
Perhaps 20 per cent. of the people
of Ellis county are Russians. Nor,
strictly speaking. they are German.
Russians Originally they went from
Germany TO Russia. and later cam
to this country. They are a sturdy.
honest people, industrious, very reli-
gious and great moneysavers. AS
debt-payers they are celebrated. They
never hide behind the statute of linn
itations. If Russian buys a horse
or farm. he is just as sure to pay for
il as he lives. Mortgages are only
used as protection in case of death"

Head Ache

II so, it will interest you to
know that it can be stopped
with DR.. Miles Anti Pain Pills;

effects, and this without dam
ger OF forming a drug habit or
having your stomach disar-
ranged. They positively con-
tain no opium, morphine, CO.

Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain,
and leave only sense OF relief.
The reason for this is explained
by the fact that headache comes
from tired, irritable, turbulent,
over-taxed brain nerves. Anti
Pain Pills soothe and strength
en- these nerves, thus removing
the cause. They are harmless
when taken as directed.

How to Cure a Cold.

Be as careful sas' you can you
will occasionally take cold, and
when iyou do, get. a medicine of
known reliability, one that has an
established reputation and that is
certain to effect a quick cure.
81 a medicine is Chamberlain's
loagh Remedy. 1t has gained a
Eor,1 wide reputation by its re-
- liable cures Of this most com
mon ailment, and can always be
depended upon. 1t acts on ma
ture's plan, relieves the lungs,
aids expectoration, opens the Sc
cretions and aids nature III restor-
ing the system to a healthy condi-
ton. During the many years in
which it has been in general use
we have yet to learn Of a single
case of cold or attack OF the grip
having resulted in pneumonia when
this remedy was used, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain
preventive of that dangerous dis
ease. Cnamberlain's Cough Re
mcdy contains no opium or other
narcotic and may be given as con-
tidently to baby as to an adult.

Scarcity of Humor,

1t is to be feared that if the papers

would be often left blank. There is no

imitation of it which people are fond
of calling the saving sense OF humor.
