show Of indifference 1 was far from

seemed, and lived in shanty far up
on the mountain-side with two com.
panions. The three were making a
rather poor attempt to work a claim
they had preempted.
Getting away from my loquacious
miner-friend, climbed the steep trail
to the cabin and set about an investf-
cation OF 1t with great caution. The
men were at home, and from the

time that evening. approached to the
very door and listened with my ear to
the planks to sounds of revelry within.
The men were gambling and drinking,
and could hear the clink of coins
and the rattle Of bottles and the ribald
iests with which they made their bets
and gloated over their winnings and
cursed their luck when they lost. 1

eeoreIan's Catch Of 500 Fish.

The largest catch of fish yet record
ed is that which is reported here to
have been made by Sid Phelan, Jr. of
Atlanta on his fathers plantation near
here recently when 500 fish were
caught at one time.
The Phelan plantation is located on
the Flint river, and there are num-
Der of pools nearby caused from the
recent heavy rains and rapid rise of
the river. The other day Mr.. PheIan
saw what appeared to be school of
fish in one Of these ponds. He exam
ined and found thAt this was true and
that the fish were being herded, as
Y were. by large snake, which was
swimming around them. He's a
bucket and let 1t down into the pond
where they were the thickest, and
when he pulled it up the bucket was
full of fish. There were over 500,
each about an inch or so long.-Rob-

10 supplement what he had written. The
report was sent to him at Honolulu for

That proof was again in the DEPART

WAKING UP
AGAIN
Vacations Ending and Cabinet
Officers Are Hurrying Back
to Their Work.

Increased Activity to Follow a
Summer of Rest and

By Ernest G.. Walker.

(Mau Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, November 1.-The
gongs are sounding and there is a rush
OF passengers for Washington. All
things have an end, and so have nice,
long, fat official vacations. Never be-
fore, say the oldtimers, have vacations
been quite so long and never before has
the poor old government service drag
ged its way along into October and
early November with so few directing
hands in the high plaees-at least never
before in modern times.
But now it is all over, or will be in
few days. The President s train is
getting nearer and nearer to Washing
ton daily as he journeys through the
South. He will soon be able easily to
ask questions Of the departments, which
will put cabinet officers and bureau
chiefs to work finding out what is what
And in a little more than a week he will
be in Washington himself, settling down
for the winter.
Hence the hustle and hustle of the
cabinet officers, assistant cabinet officers
be on the spot when the President en-
tiers the capital. Some of them will be
at the station to meet him, and others
will drop around at the executive of
fees at an early day to express the
hope that he has had pleasant trip,
and duplicating the official courtesies
which their official subordinates have
been paying them during the autumn
returning period.
The Official Glad Hand.
1t is worth going to the union sta
ton these days to see how hospitable |
the official establishment of the govern |
ment is. Perhaps it is a member of the !
cabinet getting in from the country. |
where he has been worked to death !
having good time and keeping away |
from the worries of the official mail !
He has telegraphed ahead that he will |
come on such and such d train This |
wakes up the anteroom to his big de- /
partmental office. The news goes down |
the line to the assistants and bureau |
chiefs. Great hustling and bustling. /
New show of interest in the govern
ment S work. In the mt an time the
secretary, private secretary, assistant
private secretary and messenger are
the clock, and Just before the
hour they jump away eager
y to the railway station. They take
up their places by the gate When their
boss comes along the platform the
messenger hurries forward to take his
grips, the private secretary and his as
'istant private secretary smile and look
pleasant and give the chief a cordial
greeting. after the higher assistants
nave had a chance to shake his hand.
The official carriage is waiting on the
outside and the distinguished arrival is
peeded to his residence, and after
lay for making ready, gets down to .He
department to work. There is great
prucing up in the department, and it
'egins to look as though everyone con
erned would have to spring to the tasks
