Skeleton of Mermaid,
Tail and All, in Gulf.

! New Orleans, La, July 9.-Skepti-
cal seamen and savants notwithstand-
ing Captain c. A. Thompson, Govern
ment lightkeeper at Pass APOutre,
has in his possession real mermaid
or the skeleton thereof.
Captain Thompson says SO and
local scientists do not gainsay him,
for they cannot tell what it is.
1t is the perfect skeleton Of what
looks like tiny woman, with varia-
tions. That which is most striking
about it is the presence of wind
pipe, plainly discernible as such, and
spinal column, both of the same
structure and in the same relative
position as might be found in HUI
man being.
The body, or rather the thin she'll
like bone structure, is identical with
that of a female human being. There
appears to be no leg formation, the
extremity apparently having been
provided with tail.
The captain says he found the
miniature of the lady of the sea in {
lifeless condition, high and dry or
one of the mud Jumps off the mouth
of the river.

Ever Fish With q Necktie?

Topeka, July 10.--Say, all good
fishermen! Did you ever in your
whole life catch a black bass with the
tail of a buck deer, a piece of of your
necktie or hunk of fat salt pork?
Honest. Did you ever? Prof. L. l..
Dyche, state fish and game warden,
says he has.
"The black bass is peculiar fish, I"
Professor Dyche said today. Some
days it will bite on minnows, other
days on frogs, other days on flies and
sometimes they don't bite at all. One
day down at Lakeview some fellows
were fishing with minnows, but they
fished all day and nothing doing.
81 got hold of piece of salt pork
and some red yarn. It was about
three inches long and wrapped the
pork with the red yarn and used a
casting rod. got seven bass in an
hour with that one piece of pork.
Those bass averaged better than
three pounds each.
another day l was coming home
in the evening along the north road.
| had pretty good string of fish and
met some fellows that hadn't even
had bite. ljollied with them bit.
Then | cut off about two inches of my
white necktie, borrowed pole and
line and put the piece of necktie on
the hook.
81 made a careful cast and just
started to skim the line. Swish-a
bass weighing four pounds struck and
made things hum. l pulled in my
fish, told the boys that was how |
caught them, and went home. Those
fellows watched me going down the
road as far as they could see.
In the fall the best bait for bass |
know is to use the tail of a buck deer.
When you cast l Judge those bass
must think that that deer tail is a but
terfly. They certainly 60 after it
hard. l have caught many bass in
this way. 1t is all in casting anyway.
Some fishermen cast and let the bait
fall on the water as though chunk
of lead. When cast, just before the
bait strikes the water l begin to pull
and | draw the bait across the water
like flash. If it strikes the eye of
Mr.. Bass he will take it. 1t doesn't
matter what the bait is, if it is some
thing to catch the eye of the fish he
will strike it"

They're in air, water, dust, even

The Missouri Pacific Railway.

The Missouri Pacific distinguished
itself in the recent complimentary ex-
cursion given to the Missouri editors
as perhaps never before in its history,
and we may add that so far as our
knowledge and observation justifies
the conclusion no road in the Missis-
sippi Valley, or the entire West has
ever exhibited more enterprise and
elegant courtesy than that extended
to its many guests in the excursion
mentioned from St. Louis to Joplin
and return, June 1917. In addition
to the splendid special train with the
newest and best appointed coaches
first class dining car accompanied the
train and most tasteful meals were
served to all, both going and return
ing, with the compliments of the
road.
As we have many times remarked
and written, the Missouri Pacific is
the pioneer road of our great state
and may thus claim consideration
from our people, but in far greater
measure because of the splendid, safe
and rapid transportation facilities Of
fered, in which regards this great
highway knows no superior.-St.

OH It's good to read from old hsory's page
When the morning stars singing
And rapurous echoes filled the stage
The Emusic of the Spheres set ringing
But the sweetest sound that ever gave birth
To Joy from mortal mans mouth
Is the glorious patter of the rain on the earth
When it's ''playng the deuce with drouth
OH Some folk may talk of grand operas spell,
And it's enchanting to them, opine,
And it's poor poor heart that does not swell
To the notes of the fiddle divine.
But gee whz! Such little things ant Gin it,,
Whether heard from the north Or the south;
TO the rain, when it's making 'me minute
In its ''playng the deuce with drouh
Oh yes! have heard of an angel choir
With it's sweet-tuned harps of gold,
Where souls can listen and tire
And the ''half has never been told.
But who could bark to these heavenly strains
And not feel clown in the mouth
Were he missing the music at home--of the rains
That were ''playng the deuce with drouth?

Why Has the Peoples Bank of Butler
Succeeded?
The Peoples Bank has succeeded
for a number of reasons.
First The people know that their
money is protected by the conserva-
tive management of experienced men,
who believe that the interests of the
depositors should be first in every
instance.
Second. Because many of the
seventeen directors, who are success
full farmers and business men, have
grown up in the community and their
honesty and stability of character are
we'll known.
Third. Because of the real per-
sonal interest shown to every patron,
regardless of the size of his or her
account.
Fourth. Because the officials and
employees are ever accessible and
glad to give patrons courteous and re-
liable information regarding their
business or investments of their
money.
Fifth. Because the bank does not
loan its funds to its officers and en-
ployes.
Sixth. Because all money and val
uables are carefully deposited in a
burglar and fireproof safe.
Seventh. Because the bank always
has money to loan on proper security
and renders every service in keeping
with the operations of we'll managed
bank.
Eighth. Because all persons, re-
CARELESS of social or financial stand
ing receive the same courteous rec
IGNITION on the streets and elsewhere
as they receive in the place of bust
ness.
All these reasons have won the con-
fidence and respect of the people and
thereby their patronage and | believe
these are the reasons why the Peo
pies Bank has succeeded. \
