Curious Wav Of catchino Fish.

Curious Way Of Catching Fish.
Indians OF Bolivia have a peculiar
method Of going fishing. A writer in
the Geographical Journal says: H''They
use the milk Of the .naanuna' or .soli-
man tree, the scientific name of which
is, I think, Hura crepitans, of the
euphorbia genus. for catching fish.
went with some of the Indians to
lagoon in the forest. Here, floating on
, the surface of the water, perfectly
alive and yet absolutely unable to get
away, were fish Of allI kinds, big and
small, from which they selected the
most palatable for food. The milk is
merely poured into the water, and as
it spreads every fish which comes in
contact with it becomes paralyzed and
yet Is not affected as food. Moreover,
the effect appears to last for several
days without killing the fish. The milk
is also used as cure for toothache,. as
a caustic and for the purpose of sui
eide, for which teaspoonful Is en-
ployed. AS a poison they say the re-
suits are painful"

JUMPING JUSTICE
 PROVED COSTLY
JACK BELL FINED $9o AND COST BY JURY IN JUDGE klRk's
 COURT YESTERDAY.
Was Charged With Aggravated As- sauIt lAfteH Administering Whipping to Justice Joe
 Afford.

The severe whipping administered to Justice of the Peace Joe Afford last week by Jack Bell, who is a hanger on about a low class of gamb- ling house, when not working at his vocation as professional nurse, cost the latter $90 and all the costs in the case yesterday afternoon, ac- cording to verdict returned by jury of six citizens in Justice Kirk's court.
 There was the usual conflict of testimony that marks such cases, and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Scott Wood made some interesting notes in connection with the case.
 Justice Afford, the prosecuting wit ness. and Jack Bell, testifying in his own defense, were the most inter esting witnesses examined. The otn- CTS for the most part were hangers on about the rear entrance to the Carl Rowher bar, where there is said to be often in operation a negro craps game. Some teamsters were witnesses, who were about the Val ley >street vicinity at the time.
 Justice Afford testified that he had lno personal acquaintance with Bell and did not remember ever seeing him before except when Bell appear ed in hls court when negroes fined for gambling were on trial. Afford stated that the afternoon he was as- saulted he started down Valley street to see his wife at the Iron Mountain depot and tell her good bye. Passing the rear entrance to the Rowhef bar he noted several negroes standing about, some of whom he had fined, but he never gave them much consideration. After pass ling the place he stated he was struck with something heavy on the lback of the head. and thought a negro hit him, but looking around saw Bell, who knocked him down, and beat him. He said he was 5S years of age, justice of the peace, and physically unable to cope with a man the size of Bell.
 Bely testified that he had no partic-
 ular acquaintance wt1h Afford and Ithat he had no grudge against him, lbut that he and big negro had been lscuffling in the entrance to the sa- loon. when he turned to run to the
 walk, and stepping out the door brushed into Afford He states Al
 ford said something and raised large stick to strike him, when he
 reached out with his fist and knock ed Afford down, and then beat him,
 while they were struggling for pos session of the stick Bell testified
 that he Headed guilty to a simple
 8 assault for the case in DeVall's court
 and had Teen fine1 st and cost. He said an unknown witness accolhpdu
 jed him to the justice court on that
 occasion.
 Bell was defended by Mclaughlin
 and Ledgerwood, while the case oi the state was looked after by Deputy Prosecutor Wood and w. G. Bouic
 The jury was composed of c. G' Rowe. Fred Stearns, D. G. West, J'
 H. Lowery. John Austin F. A. Coultree. It took She jury more than an hour to reach verdict.

Idea That Men in High Position
Have Been Slow to
Recognize. .t,
PRACTICAL END TO FRICTION
Scheme Devised by officials Of Electric
Light Companies Bound to HaVe
Far-Reaohlns Eheets-Equally
Beneficial to Employer
and Employee.

Tho report adopted by the conyen'
tion of the National Electric Light as
sociation in Manhattan ls tho most
thorough-going and far.reachlng effort
yet made by any large body OF en-
ployers In this country TO reduce frie'
tion with employees and TO inspire the
devoted service which springs from
good feeling.
Profit sharing with employees is an
old story here; pension funds to which
employees contribute are familiar,
both in public and private employ
ments This proposal Of the electric
companies goes further than either, 1t
includes profit sharing, pension fund
provided by the employing company
for the benefit Of It's men, the pay
ment Of the entire cost OF injuries by
accidents which are not due TO the
gross carelessness Of employees, with
full wages for disablemont up to ak
months and one'half wages thereafter;
and q company savings bank system
which should pay somewhat higher In.
terest than the public savings banks
do.
That plan, which sounds like Utopia,
was devised by ~ Of the executive
officers Of tho largest electric compan'
les In tho country, and II accepted by
the companies represented at the con
vention, II will affect some 100000 mon
and women employed by those com.
panies But perhaps more striking
than the extensive character Of tho
plan itself is the argument Of the re-
port upon which II was based That
report draws distinction between
labor and service, Labor is defined as
the performance Of an assigned task
for which wages are paid and tho OBJ
legation ends with the payment, But
service implies devotion to the In
terests Of the employer through pc,
riod Of years, increased efficiency
through that devotion, and continuity
Of service with lessenlng Of soldier
ing or an elimination OF II altogether"
For such service tho report holds that
The Harrison times., 1911-12-02
"SERVICE" is SOUGHT

tho employer ought to pay something
In addition TO wages, and expresses tho
belief that tho corporation which
does recognize and discharge the OBJ
legation laid upon II by long and faith.
ful service will richly realize on the
Investment"
That theory is not new. Many pri-
vato employer has recognized II by the
care Of his employees and their fam.
flies through sickness, and has reap.
ed his reward in the conscientiousnes
of the personal devotion Of his men as
well as in the quality Of the service
rendered. But much Of the antagon.
ism toward corporations has been due
to tho feeling that they were squeez.
ing tho Juice Of human kindness out Of
the relationship between employer and
employee, that the worn-out employee
was liable to be thrown out on tho
scrap heap along with the worn'out
machine which no had tended Here
is series Of related corporations pro.
posing to incorporate human kindness
az part Of their system and to
make It's rewards automatically, with.
out regard to the attitude Of any par.
