said. "I am going down to Pratt to

and their habits in winter, isn't 1t
They don't hibernate during the cold
weather like the bear and the rae

put down his grip and began to warm
to his su- ject; "a fish this kind OF
weather will hunt the deepest water 1t
can find in stream or lake and wriggle
into a hole under some log or ledge
of rock. If the assure is just large
enough to admit the fish's body so
much the better. It can suspend the
perpetual motion of its fins and tail
and rest in proper position in its re-
treat.
FISHERMEN who know the habits
of fish will cut a hole in the ice near
some log or rock lodges and armed
with a long spear will reach down in
the water and harpoon the fish In his

rs German carp a good fish to
eat, you ask. Certainly it is, If 1t is
cooked properly. 1t all depends on the
cooking Few people in this country
know how to cook any kind of fish:
I remember once I had a couple or
guests from Topeka visiting me down
at the hatchery short time ago. I
caught German carp that weighed six
pounds dressed. I cooked the fish my
self and we three ate it all in one
meal. My guests said they did not
like German carp, either. Wonder how
much fish they eat at one time when
the fish happens to be the kind that
they really like?
How did I cook that fish? Why I
baked it, First skinned the fish and
scraped the fat off its back Then I
made incisions around the frs and pull
ed them out. Pulled. you understand
so that I drew the most of the bones
out with the fms. Then I stuffed that
fish with a couple of stalks of celery
green ends and all. nd an apple, an
onion, a piece of bacon and sprinkled
a little pepper in to hurry the union
of the favors. No salt? Why of course
not. I had soaked the fish in salt wa
ter an hour or so after I cleaned it.
"Then I creased pan by frying a
little bacon in it and placed the fish
therein with a couple of strips OF bacon
On its upper side and basted it with
ground cracker crumbs and corn meal.
7 baked the upper side to a doughnut
brown and turned it over and served
the underside the same way.
"Was it good? I tell you that we
three picked the bones of that carp
and he weighed six pounds dressed"

Administration Will Discipline
the Insurgents in Congress
By Denying Them Any Share of
the Patronage.
AND WORSE THAN THAT
Effort Will Be Made to Prevent
Their denomination.
If That Fail They Are to Be
Beaten at the Polls.

Washington, Jan. A story was in
circulation today among the Repub-
hcan "insurgent" members of the
house that the administration had
definitely decided to withhold from
them their quota of patronage and
that from this time forward the ac-
tive work of disciplining the Republic
cans regarded by the organization as
recalcitrant would be prosecuted
with vigor.
1t was reported that Minnesota
congressman who has acquired the
displeasure of the regular organiza-
ton through his 'insurging acts,
had been told at the postoffice depart
ment, for instance. that his recon-
mendations in regard to the appoint
ment of pOStmasters would receive no
consideration. He was given definite
ly>to understand, so it was stated, that
the hand of the administration would
be against him and he could expect
no consideration of any sort. The ru-
mors went still further and said that
active efforts were to be made in the
home districts of the Republican in
surgents to prevent their renomina-
ton, and that if this effort failed
they would be antagonized at the
polls.
1t is asserted several thousand dol
lars already nave been spent IN the
district of a Wisconsin member to pro-
mote the candidacy of a rival Repub-
lican aspirant for his seat. A Ne
braska member, whose majority over
his Democratic opponent at the last
election was very slender, declared he
knew active efforts were being made
against him in his district by the Re
publican national congressional COM
mittee, and he added he had no doubt
the organization would oppose him at
the polls IL 1t failed to defeat his re-
nomination.
He quoted a Republican leader of
the house as saying publicly that she
preferred Democrats in congress in
place of Republican insurgents

SANTA FE WINS APPEAL
Granted a New Trial on Charge of
Violating Service Law.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-The United States
circuit court of appeals today reversed
the judgment of the district court in
the case of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway against the United
States. The railroad is charged with
violation of the hours of service act.
The Judgment of the lower court is re-
versed and the case remanded with in
structions to grant a NV trial. The
suit was started by District Attorney
Sims, who charged that the railroad
was keeping telegraph operators on
duty for a longer period than nine
hours. allowed by the hours of service
act. In the lower court a judgment of
800 was entered against the railroad.
Attorneys for the railroad showed
that operators appeared to have been.
on duty from $50 a. m. to $3.50 p. m,
but that they had been relieved from
noon until 8 p. m. The court held as
the men had only nine hours of actual
time on duty that 1t was no violation of
the hours of service act.
