What Kind Of Noise is Worst

Many nervous woman has occa-
sion to consider what kind of a noise
Is most likely to Danish sleep. 1t Is
not strange that the crusade against
unnecessary noise should be led by a
woman, and that she should fpd
thousands of eager supporters among
her SEX The country and the city
present different problems to the seek
er tor quiet. The steady roar of the
city street is often less trying than
than the persistent crow OF the early
rising rooster or the clang of the cow
bell. The neighbor who sifts coal ash
es before the light belongs to the
same class with the one who narrates
his family affairs at dawn under The
window in a loud and cheerful voice,
The shrek of the whistle, the cali of
the newsboy, the rattle OF the milk
cart are all trialsome, as a certain
old lady used 90 say or her children,
but perhaps tho most unforglyable
noise for sensitive person is one
which occurs >at slightly irregular in
teryals, and for long period. The
drip OF a water-pipe, the whine OF a
dog the slam of a blind these are
the noises which destroy temper and
sleep, even for wel women. When one
has struggled through a night tor
1ured by such Objectionable clamors,
one realizes the full meaning of the

KING OF ALL CATFISH.
A 'tOld Joe" He Is Known to Fish
erman Of the Cumberland.

A sold Joe" He Is Known TO Fish
erman Of the Cumberland.
Just how or when he received his
cognomen no one seems to know,
but should you call the name odd
Joe" anywhere along the Cumberland
River above Celina, Tenn, your
hearers will at once become atten-
tive, and usually the. qnery, '5Iags
you seen him or Who saw, him
last?" will greet your remark.
"Old Joe" Is an immense catfish,
eight to nine feet long, and II is
thought viii weigh more than TWO
hundred pounds. He was first seen
about twenty years ago in the Cum
berland River where Marrowbone
Creek empties into that classic
stream in Cumberland county. Since
that time hardly week passes dur
ing the fishing season that some one
does not see this huge fish, writes
a correspondent OF the Louisville
Courier-Journal, and always near
where he was first seen. The furth-
est point that he has even been
known to roam was a mile.
Many plans to capture or kill "Old
Joe" have miscarried, and from the
way he has eluded the various traps
and snares set Tor him he must be
wise as well as large. Fishermen
anxious to possess ''Old Joe's" scalp
have camped on the river for weeks,
remained all day waiting for
chance shot, placed poison In the
river, dynamited all along for a mile,
and after becoming worn out would
leave in disgust, only to learn from
some one that "Old Joe" had been
seen the day he broke camp floating
near the surface of the water, evil
IDENTIFY enjoying a sun bath.
After old Joe's" habitation was
established steamboat men began to
look for him and there are very few
pilots on the upper Cumberland that
have not seen "Old joe" II at any
time a pilot spoke Of having seen
dog or snab in that locality he was
promptly told 1t was "Old joe"
Recently a well known pilot on
the Cumberland River had a good
look at the king OF the upper Cum
berland, and in speaking OF his OBJ
servations says: Some time since
l had the pleasure Of seeing this en-
ormous catfish. In length I sup
pose 1t would measure close to eight
feet, possibly more j was in a posi-.
tion to get good view of him while

to the deep. Old Joes' habitation
Is in the neighborhood Of the mouth
of Marrowbone Creek. This Ash, |
suppose would weigh more than two
hundred pounds. His tah seemed
to be larger than a palmleaf fan"
As "Old Joe" has been a familiar
figure for twenty or thirty years II
Is hard even TO surmise how old he
is, but river men are Of the opinion
that he must be more than hfty
years old.

SAVING THE SPRINGS
Suggestion Made to Rock

ADDING TO ATTRACTIONS
Each of the Streams to Be Given
Appropriate Name.

L. II. Grabill, Assistant Engineer in
Charge, Says Cast Will

MARBLE OR GRANITE FRAME

Special care for the preservation of the
springs in Rock Creek Park and the
naming of each after some man of ma
tional repute. add to the attractions of
the public reservation, has been recon-
mended to the board of control Of Rock
Creek Park by l.. r. Grabill. assistant
engineer in charge Of the park
The lack of development Of the park
springs was recently called to the atten-
ton of the Commissioners by the Bright
wood Citizens Association. A resolution
unanimously adopted by the association
sets forth that there are a number of
large springs of pure water in Rock Creek
Park. which have not been properly
cared for. much less developed and orna-
mented as they should be-
Development Suggested.
The association asked that certain
portion of the appropriation made by
Congress each year shall be used for the
enlargement, development and Ornamental
ton Of at least one spring. and that
each of these springs shall be named
and so improved by the use of granite
or marble around about them as Will
cause the purity of the water to be pre-
served and the sanitary features Of the
spring made apparent to everyone"
further request was that each of
these springs shall be named for some
person of national character in our coun-
try, and thus cause them to become a
monumental feature of interest to our
people and facilitate the acquaintance
of the general public with the attractive
features of Rock Creek Park"
Assistant Engineer GrabiIl is in gen.
eral accord with the suggestion, and be-
lieves that the expense can be met out
of the general appropriations for main
tanning the park.
Springs Are All Small.
There are no large springs I'm Rock
Creek Park" he has reported to the
Commissioners. There are several small
springs. all of which have been cared for
and protected to some extent One Of
these, near Pierce's Mill. was recently
flied on account of a report received
from the health department that the
water was impure.
Such springs as exist should be kept
clean and in an attractive condition No
attempt should be made at artificial or
namentation but bubbles and loose stone
may be arranged TO form a protecting
basin. Like other features of the park
the springs should present an appearance
Of nature. which cannot be secured by

Silver Not Down and Out.
From the Mexican Herald.

IT is always of interest here in this
great silver producing country to hear of
any possible widening OF the market for
the white metal, and So many and SO
ramifed are the interests in Mexico that
depend on silver mining that the matter
is one that touches most OF US. Men of
expert knowledge Of the silver market
are precisely those who do not Yield to
the prevailing mood Of pessimism as to
the prospects Of this metal. They still
regard silver as a genuinely hopeful
proposition" and urge the purchase Of
good mines.
There may be something done in the old
countries Of white mems civilization to
enlarge the use of silver, by making IL
the backing of silver certificates, as has
been suggested often OF late. But we go
along with those experts who see the
bright future OF the white metal in Asia
and Africa. and those economists and
able business men who have pointed out
the peril of the white race from the build
ing up OF vast industrial system in
countries which will have the two advan-
tages of cheap labor and silver money
are, we must believe, speaking with q
coed basis of reason.
Silver Is by no means down and out"
Entire races OF men have to depend on 1t
i'm making their way along new lines OF
activity-lines that will grow rapidly and
which will be a menace to the manufac-
turing white nationS-

DIR. Thirkield dwelt OH the motives of
men in performing their religious duties.
He told his audience that some persons
were Christians because of fear, others
from a sense of duty and tradition and
still others from a pure love for Jesus
Christ. To the latter he paid a glowing
tribute for the fervOr of their beliefs and
their charities. due. he said, to the origin
Of their belief.
During the course Of the rally musical
program was rendered. Those taking part
