Our New Caviar Producers.

Strange stories are told OF many
queer fish, but few fish are queerer
in appearance or stranger in their
habits than the new caviar-producer
OF the lower Mississippi. 1t has as
many names as confidence man.
and few thieves ever eluded justice
as pers!stently as this species has
concealed its development from the
naturalist. In Louisiana It Is
known as billtish. billdom, and pad
Gle-hsh; in Mississippi, spoon-billed
cat or spooney; and in Arkansas as
the spoonbill or 5poonbill-sturgeon
The lakes and rivers of these three
states supply at present much OF the
caviar and dried sturgeon" OF the
markets "Polyodon spatula" is the
dignlied title by which the spoonbllI
is known to naturalists, though the
word 'polyoCon" signifies many
toothed, while the fish has no teeth.

The Hungry Children.

If city school children are fainting
at their desks from hunger it is high
time organized measures were taken
for their relief, declares the New York
World. 1t is not to be expected that
teachers should keep bottles of milk
in their classrooms, as has been done,
to provide pupils with sufficient nour.
ishment to get through their lessons.
The extreme conditions are assumed
to be temporary and as such they
should receive the attention of charit'
able societies. But the periodical re-
ports of breakfastless school children
indicate permanent conditions of pri'
walton and undernutrition among some
part of the school population which
should be remedied. No child can
study on an empty stomach, and the
attempt can only result in nervous
weakness and dwarfed mental and
physical development. Shall regular
meals be provided for underfed chill
dren, and, if so, shall they be paid for
by an appropriation from the educa
tional fund, or must the expense be
met by popular subscription?

Death of Pet in Fight Brings Sorrow
to Owner.

Milo P. Ward, a westerner, who
spent seven years in the hills Of Ore
gon seeking pocket" that contained
gold enough to put him on his feet
after fortune of S5O0,000 had been
swept away, has received bad news
from home.
1T was tragic to me-" he said, al
though it was only the death of pet
bear that tramped with me during my
days of loneliness and solitude in the
hills in the hunt for gold that allowed
me to hold up my head again"
Ward found the pocket that he
sought. 1t contained $4,000 worth Of
good, yellow gold, and he is holding
on to it. After losing his vast for.
tune in 1898, Ward, who had been a
miner in former days, got out his pick
and shovel, red shirt and rife, and
disappeared in the hills. He knew
there was gold to be found, and after
seven years of hard work and ex'
posure to danger he succeeded in 10
eating rich pocket" After three
days of digging he started for civiliza.
tion with the yellow metal.
My faithful companion during the
most of that time" said Ward, was
Bob, who came to me as bear cub.
We met in an unusual way. One night
after hard days work l cooked my
meal and lay down to sleep. During
the night l felt the pressure of soft
foot on my hand and instantly start.

see but few feet away. A rustling

Some time ago some of the boys

Wanted All the Warts.

You would be surprised if You
knew how careful outdoor advertisers
are to have their signs just So" said
the billboard painter. "They have all
sorts of notions as to just how they
want their advertisements to look. and
the slightest deviation causes trouble.
Not long ago gang of lis painted a
big billboard in the center of which
was a large pickle. We thought we
had done rather a neat job of it. but
the firm for whom we did it refused
to approve, saying there were not the
required number of bumps or warts
on the pickle.
THE upshot was that We had to
paint out that pickle and put on q new
one, with the spots for the bumps
marked so there could be no mistake.
| never see a pickle sign now that do
not want to stop and count the bumps
on it."
Agricultural settlements were es
tablished for the tribe, hut they do not
seem to have been very successful as
civilizing agencies. The settlements
serve as houses for the women and
children, but the men are seldom
found In them.
The females generally hawk stoler
property in the villages and act az

Uncle Sam Slow PAY.

The United States as a debtor is
slow pay, if not sure. Among the
claims allowed by the auditor for the
war department in the last fiscal year
were those of Hezekiah Davis. George
Dixon, Edward Gervais, Ingram M
Richardson and Andrew J. FetheroN
for transportation services and sup
plies of Oregon and Washington vol
unteers in 1866 and 1856" The
Richardson claim was for $3.S7. The
navy department allowed number OF
claims dating from 1868, one of them
being 1851. The Southern Pacific
company succeeded in getting Sc
cents on a claim five years old. This
looks like favoritism to a great cor
poration, or it may prove that the
smaller the claim the more quickly II
will be passed.-New York Sun.
