City Fallen on Evil Tines.

Ispahan, now threatened with crnr mercial ruin by the Persian rebels, has already had more than her share Of the running process. For the civ. which now holds only s0,000 inhabit. ants, was once girdled by wall q miles in circuit, and, as the capital of the Persian empire. provided sccpre home for 100000 people. But all that vanished with the eighteenth century. when Teheran assumed p-ide of place as the new capital. Even now Ispahan proclaims in her miles of tenantless streets and tum- ble-down palaces how splendid she was formerly, and how as the mighty central emporium she dominated tht markets of the east.

Brinqinc Home the Catch.

sI make it a rule said Col. Ste phens. never to bring home more fish than we can eat at a single meal. never let fish lie in the dead water in the bottom of boat. l never put a chain through his gills and drag him behind the boat until he is water logged I leave these habits to the ignorantes who infest the beautiful lakes of northern New York, seeking what they can destroy. Now, a nine pound pickerel is a splendid catch. especially when you have him on a six-ounce rod, and a 12-strand line. My little steel rod will bend itself into T circle. It looks like the hair spring of a watch when very busy Having landed my nine-pounder, l place him right alongside of me on the seat of the boat, and keep him there till we go ashore When served, he is as firm as a rock, yet tender. fresh and sweet. It makes all the difference in the world in the taste of a fish the way you treat him after he's caught. "- New York Press.

was greeted with ripple Of applause
as he passed to the stage. When he

greeted with generous applause.
Mayor Drinkenberg opened the meet

charg for admission. Announcement
had been made that DR.. Cook would

Cooks Mt. Mckinley Statement.
At the conclusion of his polar lecture
DR.. Cook said that he would make
brief statement, giving his side of the
Mt. Mckinley controversy. He then,
referring to some notes, made the fol-
lowing statement:
''At the time of my arrival in New
York, after two years and three months
in the Arctic regions, and when all
America was rejoicing over the double
gan a warfare to rob me of the glory
of an achiev ement which was, and is,
rig htly mine. Confident that my rival
had triumphed after nearly quarter
of a century in quest of the great un-
known, 1, with all good Americans, re-
joiced in his success, and in Copen-
hagen, declared that there was glory
enough for two. Despite the bitter at
tacks which have been made upon me,
my attitude in this respect is un-
changed.
Fell as Victims
"When this warfare failed, the enemy
began this flank movement on the
climb of Mt. Mckinley; men with
money to burn in the flame of infamy
entered the arena. Men of this com.
munity whom had previously believed
to be honest, fell as victims. Their
statements were absolutely untrue
Still, nurse no spirit of revenge OF
malice against these misguided men
My counsel, however, has been in
structed to continue their investiga
tion until we catch the guilty money
givers higher up.
Hamilton and Missoula have clear
ly shown their disapproval of this bat
tie of injustice. They have shown thai
they do not believe this malicious turr
of rival powers. Your fairness ant
your faith is a pledge of human nature
worth more than millions thrown into
the hell of bribery.

trust my case to the citizens of Mon
tana as jury. After you have read
