In justsce to County Court Clerk
Roper, who is making the race for
reelection, the Courier desires to
state there is no truth in the report
that he is intending TO make a dou-
BILE play in this race by running sub
ject to the primary, and in case he
loses the nomination, running indie
pendent. II is true he handed out
few of his cards which failed TO say
he was subject to the Democratic
primary, but this was the fault of the
Curriers' job printer and not Mr..
Roper. Neither'he nor the Courier
discovered the omission until after
he had used few of the cards. Mr..
Roper will make the race subject to
the primary. If he fails to get the
nomination. he says he will support
the nominee.

1T SANK THE BOAT
BUT HEN MERRIAM LANDED THE
BIG FISH.
Next Time He Probably Will kno"
Better Than to Take Advice OF
a Friend Fond of Prac-
ticaI Joke.

"Hen Merriam never would say just
what the black bass weighed" said a
man from Monroe county, "and
guess Mark Sullivan didn't know, but
the hammer weighed five pounds.
1T was Sodus bay bass, and when
Hen talked about wanting to go out
and get 1t or one something like its
size some one told him the bass ran
so large in Sodus that fishermen who
wanted to be on the safe side took
big hammer along with them to knock
'em in the head So the hammer Hen
Merriam took with him weighed al
most as much as the cedar boat ne
rowed
Hen, being a railroad conductor
seemed to expect the bass to be right
on schedule time in taking his hook
after he had thrown in, and so when
Is minutes had passed and no bass
had come along he decided 1t was so
far behind time that he guessed II
would have to be abandoned, and ne
was pulling up to go in when the bass
came along and got the hook.
Hen started right in to make up
lost time and yanked that bass IN
hand over hand. When the fish's head
came in sight and within reach Hen
| grabbed his hammer, and being little
mad yet over the bass being behind
time he brought the hammer down
like he was a blacksmith's helper well
on to his job.
But Sodus bay bass are watchtul
and spry, and this one ducked and go'
out of the way of the hammer. The
hammer kept right on coming down
though, and it had to hit something
and so it whanged into the side OF the
light cedar boat.
1T passed right on through the side
of the boat, making hole big enougf
to shove stovepSpe in. The hole be
ing below the water line of course the
water poured into the boat like tor
rent, and Hen began to yell.
"'Hay' he yelled. Somebody bet
ter make extra good time over here OF
there'Il be trouble on this line!
And that was no joke, for Hen hat
hardly yelled that much when his boa
sank and he was floundering in the
water trying to keep from following 1t
He had the hammer in one hand ant
held fast to his line with the other
Mark Sullivan was taking out bass il
boat near by, and he pulled for Hel
right away.
Don't stop for signals!' yelled
Hen. Pull her wide open, of this bas
will get away
Mark got there just in time to tui
Hen into his boat, and Hen was nj
sooner in than he began hauling ava.
on his bass, which was still on tn
hook. When he got it alongside tn
boat he handed the hammer to Mark
and while Hen held the bass with tn
top of its head out of the water Mar
used the Sledge on it.
He tumbled the bass skull in a
the first clip. They lifted the fish int
the boat and came ashore. Nobod
has ever heard how much it weighed

guess Mark Sullivan never knew
When Hen told about the bass he jus
said it was so big it sank the boat.

me to take that hammer along as par

Potlatch.

Potlatch is custom of distributing
gifts practiced by the Kawiutl, Chin
swan and other tribes of the north
west coast. The principal actor in the
ceremony is some member ef the tribe
who has spent years in accommodating
treasures of all kinds, which he gives
away in one grand display of generosi-
ty. All the tribesmen of the villages
for miles around attend the ceremony.
Honor binds the recipients of the gifts,
however, to such an extent that they
become indebted to the giver to double
the amount of the present, so that the
potlatch is, instead of an extravaganza,

One Thinu More,

Light may come from the east, bat
from the west comes picturesque Ian
guage. During the Democratic con-
vention at Denver last July a we'll
known politician, noted for his re-
splendent red whiskers, came to town
in a suit of light gray, with pearlgray
spats over black shoes, and a waist
coat to match. Noticing the style Of
headgear that people were wearing, he
sent out for yard of blue stuff to
wind about the crown of his panama.
With this hat surmountiEg his red
whiskers, and with his otherwise no.
ticeable "getup," he was the center OF
attention in the hotel corridor.
AS he stood in a circle of admiring
cowboys, plainsmen and politicians
who watched him stroke his beard and
mustache, along came representative
from one of the western states.
Hello, JIM" said the westerner
after a brief examination. There's
only one thing the matter with you
you ought to have those whisker:
scrambled a little bit more. Youth!
