TRAILING A FISH.
Diamond Stealing Trout is Tracked from Nebraska to New York With Results.

ZtI came east on the trail of a fish" remarked Jean Devereaux, a business man of Omaha, last night at the Grand Central station.
 Tt was like this. Last summer went fishing in Cut-On lake, north of Omaha, at one time a part of the Missouri river. I hauled up big trout. How that trout got in Cut-Of lake is mystery, because trout are scarce in that whole section of the country I knew the only way to make my friends believe me when I told them I caught the trout in the lake was to take it home alive.
 T tied a string to the trout's tail and fastened it to a seat in the boat. Then with my hat I dipped up enough water to half fill the boat, and, taking off my clothes, jumped overheard and pushed the boat ashore.
 Just as I had finished dressing milk wagon came by and for a couple of dollars the driver consented to help me We filled the cans with water and then stood the trout on his tail in one of them. As we drove hom l changed the trout from can to can to keep him in fresh water.
 At home my wife had the bathtub filled with water and we dumped the trout into the tub. We kept that fish in our bathtub until a week ago, when the neighbors began to kick because we had to go to their houses every
  So we decided to ship the fish to q friend of mine here in New York.
 Would you believe it? My wife cried when I sent that trout away. You see, it had become so tame it would eat out of her hand. Now it was on account of this habit of his that all our subsequent trouble came about and I had to come east.
 Just half an hour before I put the fish in the tank to ship it away my wife went to the bathroom to bid the fish goodby. In her grief she forgot to take it any bread and when she put her hand in the tub to pat it on the head the trout snapped at her hand. Later she found that one of the diamonds in her ring was missing. She didn't tell me about the trout stealing the stone until the fish was on it's way to New York.
 T telegraphed to my New York friend not to dispose of the fish until I arrived. I got here yesterday just in time for the autopsy There in the troUt's mouth. caught in it's gills, was the diamond from my wife's ring New York World.

REASON WOMEN WEAR OUT
Through Mistaken Idea Of Duty She
Works on With Rare Periods
Of Relaxation.

Why 90 some women grow old
and others keep the secret of perpet-
ual youth? Here is one answer:
One reason why the average wom-
an wears out, grows plain before her
husband, is that, through mistaken
idea Of duty, she lays out for herself
at the beginning of her married life
a scheme or plan Of duty and en-
ployment for her time, every hour
filed with work, with rare and short
periods Of relaxation.
This she follows religiously for
years, feeling that she has done her
duty, because every household event
occurs regularly and on time, while
she soon becomes merely a machine,
a thing without life Of itself OF vo-
lition. She settles into a rut and
goes round and round on the same
track everlastingly.
Can any woman keep brightness,
originality of thought OF speech, or
even mere prettiness with such a
life? And without those things
how can she keep her husband and
growing children full of loving adj
miration, which is the strong chain
by which she can bind them to her
How bright and jolly the neighbor's
wife seems when she calls. In nine
cases out Of ten it is because the
surroundings and talk of your home
are variety to her, and rouse her to
originality and brightness of speech.
Cultivate broad attitude toward
the world and its people. Let your
interests be far-reaching, and there
will be renewed vigor when it comes
to solve the problem Of the home.

MONEY AND HAPPINESS.

It is not the mere accumulation
of money that hurts men. 1t is the
sacrifices they are willing to make
for money. It is the desire to ADAM
don themselves to unwholesome self
qualification; to become walking ap-
petites; to lose all obligation for
self-restraint, all obligations for la
borious days and temperate nights
that is what persuades philosophers
that the root of evil is money. For
without labor and "self-mortifca-
tion," and the requirement of that
strength, both moral and physical,
which comes to him who has learned
to say ''No" to his own appetites and
his own desires, there is no true
greatness, no advance to those high
er levels of character and spiritual
discernment which mark men off
from one another as they mark
men off from the beasts of the field.

FOREIGN OWNERS OF LAND
Arc Not Allowed In State OF OkIaho-
ma-some States Limit an
Aliens Holdings.

Several states of the Union spe-
cifcally prohibit foreigners from
owning land within their borders.
In Oklahoma it is prohibited alto
gether. Other states allow natural
lied aliens to own land and those
who have declared their intention to
become so.
This is also the law in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. Nevada makes
no restrictions as to foreigners ex-
cept Chinese, who are not permitted
to own land in that state. Some of
the states, including Indiana and
Iowa, limit the amount of land an
alien may own to $50 acres.
In South Carolina the limit is 500
acres and in Pennsylvania 5000. In
New York and Texas the laws are
similar in their effect to the law re-
Gently passed by the japanese diet.
This law restricts the ownership of
land in Japan to such foreigners as
come from country which extend:
similar privileges to japanese resi-
dents, says Case and Comment. The
operation of the japanese alien land
ownership law, it is said, will not
materially change the status Of
Americans in Japan in the matter
of land ownership. Under the terms
Of the treaty of 1894 citizens of each
country may own or hire and occupy
houses, manufactures, warehouses
shops and premises in the country
Of the other and may lease land fol-
residential and commercial purposes
but the treaty does not confer rights
to own or hire agricultural lands.

EXCITING FIGHT WITH SHARK
Diver Is Attacked by Monster Who in
Turn Is Set Upon by
Fellows.

Martin Lund, diver whose fame
as shark fighter extends all over
the Pacific, had the most exciting
shark experience of his life the other
day. He is engaged at present by
the company doing the dredging in
the entrance of Pearl harbor, Homo
lulu, where sharks are particularly
thick. He was at work, IS feet be-
low the surface, when he was at
tackled by 30-foot monster, which
dashed at him through the coral.
Lund always carries a knife, and
with this he fought back, Sitting the
great fish in several places while
lodging its rushes. The blood from
the wounds attracted two other
sharks which, instead of attacking
Lund, made a vicious onslaught on
their wounded fellow. The wound
ed shark defended himself, the three
fighting back and forth over the
diver for several minutes, repeatedly
striking his air hose and life line
Finally the wounded shark swan
off, pursued by the others. Lund
lost no time in signalling that he
was through fo- the day and ready
to go up.
