THE BEST FISH STORY YET.

Here is the best fish story yet;
Archie Robertson was over on Maui
recently. He and Captain Parker
went out to the end of the Kahului
breakwater to fish. They got never a
bite.
But-they espied native fisherman
in his canoe, with large catch, and
Archie purchased something big. He
slung the fish on his shoulders and
started to walk along the breakwater.
Halfway along they were stopped by
a native follower of the renowned
Walton. "Where you catch that big
fish2' he asked. "Catchl" said Ar
chic, "Catch! I didn It catch that fish ;
| took a gun along with me and shot
it,
"Auwe.'' was the reply; 81 see that
fish swim by here. He no take my
bait, but you shoot him. Auwe, |
bring gun next time - Then Archie
and the guilty captain walked home
smiling. while the distant strains of
Dieky Davis pianola could be heard
playing that delightful tune, "It is
not always the fish you catch that

PULLIAM RESTS
BENEATH THE SOD
NO MAJOR GAMES

Louisville, August 2.-Silence rested upon
the diamonds of the major baseball
leagues today and the principal leaders
of the national game assembled in Louis
vile to pay the last tribute to Harry
Puliam, late president of the National
league, whose tragic death in New York
cast a shadow over the baseball world.
The body of Mr., Pulliam arrived at Has
this morning, accompanied by j. Page
Pulliam, Mr.. Pulliam's brother; G. w.
Cain of Nashville, his brother-in-law
and Harry w. Russell, one of Mr.. Pull
liam's closest friends.
The body was taken to an undertaking
establishment. The services were held
an hour later in the chapel in Cave Hill
cemetery and were conducted by the Rev.
T. M. Halves, Presbyterian minister.
The body of Harry Clay Pulliam was
brought back this morning to Louisville,
the city he called "home," and from
which he departed II years ago to begin
the rapid climb which landed him at the
top In the baseball world.
1t Is doubtful If any man in official or
public life had more friends in Louis
vile than Mr.. Pulliam. The printers
and employees about the offices of the
daily newspapers, the friends of his
youth, never failed to receive call and
a pleasant word from him whenever he
passed through Louisville.
In consequence the florists were literally
swamped with orders from persons in all
conditions of life, desirous of paying last
tribute to man who did not forget his
friends.
At o'clock this afternon the body was
taken to the chapel at Cave Hill ceme-
terry, where simple funeral service was
conducted by the Rev. T. M. Halves, pas
tor of the Highland Presbyterian church.
The active pallbearers were DR.. Hunt
Stuckey, Harry w. Russell. Robert w.
Brown, Charles c. Dehler, w. B. Thomas
and Claude McFarlan, all OF Louisville.
Among the honorary pallbearers were:
Ban johnson, president Of the American
league: John A. Heydler, secretary of the
National league; John e. Bruce, secretary
of the National Baseball commission;
President Barney Dreyfus of the Pitts
burg Nationals, President Stanley Robin
son of the st. Louis club, President John
Dewey of the Boston club, President
Charles Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club,
President William Shettsline Of the Phil
