FRENCH FISH STORY.

Though their lakes and ponds are
few and their rivers comparatively
destitute of fish. the French people are
extremely fond Of angling. Indeed,
nervous and eXcitable as the average
Frenchman may he, he is content to
sit by a stream with pole and wait
all day for Il bite.
In certain country town not far
from Paris there existed a fishing club
named the Intrepid Fishers of Marpi-
gnOn. 4 pretty stream goes through
Marpignon, but for many years not
one fish had been seen in this stream.
from which circumstance, ii followed,
the Intrepid Fishers had little to do,
says Harper's Weekly.
The excitement may be imagined,
therefore. when the word ran through
Marpignon that large barbel-a
tough and gamy fish-had been seen
In the stream. The Intrepid Fishers
turned out and, having ascertained
that there was indeed barbel in the
stream, Immediately stopped the wa
ter some little distance above and be-
low him with gratings so that he
could not get away.
Then they ranged themselves joy
fully along the stream with hook and
line, and all went to fishing for the
one fish.
BY and by one Intrepid Fisher
caught him and Immediately threw
him back into the water. In the
course Of time another caught him and
did the same.
For three days one veracious ac-
count has 1t the Intrepid Fishers kept
at work catching this one barbel, and
at the end of that time the fish died
of exhaustion and loss of blood. Then
the intrepid Fishers counted up the
notches that they had made on their
fish poles, and the man who had
caught the barbel the most times was
declared the champion fisherman Of
Marpignon and received great henors.

n MODEM COMMERCIAL PARADOX

One Of the paradoxes Of modern COM
mercial development is illustrated by
the fact that by the discovering OF the
physical connection between the two
Americas a more powerful union will be
effected. The construction OF the Pana-
ma Canal win separate the two conti-
nents ia . physical sense, but the practi-
cal result of that separation will be the
welding together more firmly than before
Of the commercial, social and political
relationships between the people of the
Western Hemisphere.
Although one of the younger members
Of the American sisterhood, North Dako-
q has . vital interest In the results that
are to flow from the completion OF The
Panama Canal. That the Canal viii be-
come practically an extension OF the

To elect Senator Beveridge of Indiana
as United States senator from Iowa to-
succeed the late Senator Dolliver and
carry on the forward movement" in
the republican party, in which the To-
dianian has been leader, is the start
ling suggestion of Prof. Macy of the
chair OF political science in Grlnnell
college. Prof. Macy says there is
nothing in the federal constitution to
prevent the Iowa legislature electing
Beveridge as senator from this state, if
he will merely declare it his legal resi-
dence. The professor gets his idea from
the English system, under which mem
bers Of parliament are elected by districts
without regard to Observation-Disclosures
town Herald.
The idea contained in the above crops
out frequently in the newspapers, but,
so far as we know, never yet has been
put in practice in the United States.
The Herald is slightly in error in saying
that. like the English system, senators
can be elected without regard to res
idence. This is not exactly true. The
constitution provides that senators must
be residents of the states they represent.
II, as Prof. Macy suggests, Senator Bev-
erage should move to Iowa and declare
IL to be his legal residence, there is
nothing in the federal constitution to
prevent his election this winter by the
Iowa legislature, if that legislature shall
see fit to do so.

A CUP OF TEA.
u Plays a Curious Part In Chinese
Business Etiquette.


Business Etiquette.
When salesman or person seeking
business interview presents his card
at the entrance 10 Chinese mer-
chants place of business the posi-
bility of an audience depends alto
gether upon how he depOrts himself
while awaiting the return of the card
Bearer Should he be so indiScreet as
TO put one foot over the twelve inch
railing that intprvenCS between the
step and the doorway no manner of
persuasion can prevail upon the mer-
chant To grant him an interview.
In case he waits patiently in the
space allotted 10 unknown callers this
fact is noted. and he is usually ush-
ered in
One" in. there is still more delicate
maIier to he disposed of, and i'm case
the newcomer il ignorant of the Gus
tom hc fares i'll with his errand. I'm
mediately upon the callers entering
and taking a seat a servant brings a
serving of tea, which includes small
@''f wa C"Nh HStSou present. Inc
point Of etiquette demands that this
tea shall not be touched until the guest
Is ready to deRart, in case the inter
view has been pleasant one. in which
case the caller is supposed to take up
and drink his tea at parting, and at
this signal all the others do likewise.
However. should it so happen that the
Chinaman is not pleased with his call
er and is in any way annoyed by him
the merchant takes up the tea and be-
gins TO drink at once, which act is a
direct and decided hint that the in
terview Is ended and has not been to
the pleasure Of the merchant. The
caller is then expected to take his i'm
mediate departure.
When a caller has become well ac-
quainted some of the formality is bro.
ken by the Chinese, and on a cold
day a cup of tea is served Immediate
" 20 the guest in a social way. But
the formal tea Is still to be obsery-
ed and partaken OF at parting, ire
spective of the cup given to warm and
greet the caller on his arrival. This,
however, is done only after many vis-
its, when the business dealings have
been of such nature as to warrant
friendship and hospitality-Youth's
Companion.

The skin OF the fish does not suggest
itself as suitable material for the
making OF clothes, yet it is used for
this purpose by tribe of Tartars In
Manchuria. They inhabit the banks
OF the Peony river and live by fishing
and hunting. During the past 100
years they have become nearly extinct
owing to the invasion of their domain
by agricultural Chinese. They are
known as Fishskin Tartars. The fish
they use Is the tamara, species Of
salmon. Both the flesh and the skin
of the fish are supposed to possess
wonderful heat giving properties. Chi.

GRAHAME-WHITE ASSERTS
AEROPLANES WILL END WAR
Aviator Says Sky Battle Too Hor-
rible to Contemplate

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Claude era
hame- White sailed for England today
and with him went the James Gordon
Bennett international speed trophy
which he lifted from America at the
recent International meet at Belmont
park. Before departing he gave sum-
mary of the trend of aviation in gen
eral and its development in this country
in particular.
1T is when We get a speed of $50 to
200 miles an hour that the fun Will
begin" he said. People are not going
to adopt flying as a practical means
of travel until it has been made faster
than other modes now in existence. 1t
will be perfectly possible for passen-
gers to endure any speed because they
viii be encased in an air-tight cham
ber Just as they are now in Vesti-
buled train"
Mr. Grahame-White thinks that the
aeroplane will make battleships use
less, open the secrets of Notifications
and put an end to war. The possibli-
ties of war in the air, he believes, are
TOO horrible for civilization to contem-
plate.

Il get my trees up in the Lake Su-
perior region. 1t took us seven weeks
to sail the 600 miles home, but we

THREE GOVERNORS SCORE
NEW NATI0NALISM IDEA
Norris of Montana Leads in De-
nunciati0n at a Session
Held at Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 30.-New
nationalism, in so far as it affects con-
servation of natural resources, was
denounced by executives of three
states and upheld by Governor Noel
of Mississippi at the conference OF
governors here today.
Governor Norris of Montana started
the denunciation when he said the
theory of the nationalists" originated
in the east, whose natural resources
had been wasted, so easterners could
reap benefits on what the west still
had.
After Governor Norris at the after
noon session had said the idea of the
federal government reaping benefits OF
the vests natural resources was a
selfish one on the part of the fasteners,
and that the states could the best care
for themselves in this respect. Governor
Shaffroth of Colorado gave his version
of new nationalism. He declared mo-
nopolies could be controlled easier by
state legislatures than by congress, and
that new nationalism and the idea oil
greater Capitalization of power was
advocated for political reasons ana not
for better jurisdiction.
Governor Sloan OF Arizona declared
the states could best control water
rights and public lands, although he
said the recently completed irrigation
work done by the government in his
territory was beneficial.
Governor Hadley. in his address on
employers Liability and Workmen' S
Compensation" suggested that COM
mittee of governors be appointed to
draft a bill to be presented to all leg
islatures. No action was taken on the
suggestion, and the subject was de-
ferred until tomorrow.
The question of perfecting a per-
manent organization was discussed at
the executive session, it was under
stood, but no action was taken. Many
of the governors favored this.

ber 10. If found guilty on the two
