Kansas City, June "a monster
blue catfish, weighing 1871 pounds,
feet inches in length, and with
a mouth eight inches between the
Jaws and 20 inches across, was land
ed out of the Missouri river near the
Hannibal bridge yesterday morning
by Philip Rudolph, a river fisher
man, after a three hours tussle in
which his boat was overturned twice.
Rudolph was towing net near the
foot of Broadway when the net jerked
with such force as to overturn the
boat Rudolph barely succeeded in
grabbing the net before the entan-
gled cat started away with it.
Then the fight for supremacy be-
gan and it was ''even money most of
the time Finally, with the aid of
grab hooks, the boat, man and fish
were towed to shore by reinforce
ments and the fish was landed. 1t
REQUIRED three men to carry the
monster to the city market, where
Rudolph disposed of it for $13.75, 10
cents a pound, to the Miller-Back
Fish company. Fish dealers estimat-
ed the age of the fish at 95 years. 1t
will live "a hours out of water, they
say It will be cut into steaks to-
day. Old timers say the fish is the
largest ever caught in these waters.
Blue, yellow and channel cat are the
largest fish found in inland rivers.

How English Beauties
Keep Faces Youthful

Christian Miller. F. C. l., noted Eng
lish health expert, attributes the early
aging of American women mainly to
the national nervousness. The wom-
en- of England, she says, can teach us
the inestimable lesson of repose.
Another valuable lesson to be learn
ed from the English woman is. that she
does not go in much for cosmetics, the
continual use of which, must. ruin any
complexion. The beauty devotees. of
King Georges realm have the merco-
lized wax habit, a. more wholesome
method of keeping the face girlish-
looking and healthy. Ordinarily mer-
colized wax, used like cold cream, re-
juvenates the. worst complexion.
American women may easily acquire
the habit, this wax being obtainable
at drugstores generally in the United
States. 1t is applied at night and
washed off in the morning. One ounce
is sufficient to completely renovate a
bad complexion. 1t has a peculiar ac-
ton in keeping the face free from the
particles of dead and devitalized scarf
skin which are constantly APPEARING

New Pastor Approves Christian
Church RemOdeling.
Work on Improvement May
Begin in Near Future.
MAKE SEPARATE CLASS ROOM
Increase in Congregation De-
manded Changes.
Other Items of Interest on the
North Side.

Probability is stronger than ever
that by fall the Central Avenue Chris
tan church will be remodeled and en-
larged. Plans for the improvement
oe the church were submitted to Rev
John D. Zimmerman, the new pastor.
He approved of them they were
with the exception of recommending
ono or two changes in the interior.
The idea is to raise the church six
feet, make over the interior and add a
tower and belfry at the northeast cor
Iser. An ornamental window on the
east side may be another feature.
Separate class rooms are to be provid-
ed, as well as a kitchen and dining
room to be fitted up in the basement
formed by the raising of the church.
The need for the remode1ing has been
felt for over a year. Last summer,
with the assistance of the women.
separate class room was built just west
of the church to relieve the oVercrowd
ing of the building. 1t is used as the
class room for the Excelsior Bible
