ISAAC WALTONS REPINE
AT TARIFF PROHIBITION
Fishermen Who Delight to Cast Flies
iii Pleased at Clause Shutting
Out Feathers.

Fishermen who like to cast fly will
find no comfort in the tariff bill as II
has come from the Senate Finance Com
mittee. Within the last few days many
fishermen have complained that the pro-
hibition in the bill against the importa-
ton of feathers of wild birds would be
a blow to the man who wants to make
his own flies or TO the fly manufacturer
who is obliged to depend upon the i'm
portation of feathers of foreign birds
for material for most Of his high-class
flies.
An exception in this prohibition is made
in the case of feathers used for scien-
tiic or educational purposes, and there
have been many suggestions that fishing
tackle should be included in this ia
vored group. The Senate Finance Com
mittee, however. has not made any con-
cession of this character. although they
have adopted an amendment which re-

Cities Service Company, the leading
public utility holding company in the

public offering, through these bankers,
OF 5000 600 per cent five-year converti-

There is an authorized issue of 10000
T1 but only s5,OOO.OO0 have been issued
of which 100000 were absorbed by
British public last month. Besides the
large equities back of these notes, there
are the additional features of converti-
bility at any time into the per cent
preferred stock of Cities Service Com
pany. The notes are in denominations
of 800 $500, and $1,000. so that the small
as well as the large investor has an
opportunity to acquire an investment
which will net per cent for f1ve years.
Cities Service Company was organized
less than three years ago, and has &C.
quired substantially all the common stock
Of the Denver Gas and Electric Com
pany, the Empire District Electric Com

the rate of per cent per annum on
the preferred stock since organization.
The common stock started on per
cent basis until December 81. lyll, when
the rate became per cent, and per
cent has been paid since the beginning
of 1918. Earnings last year were equal
to 9.29 per cent on the outstanding COM

including the interest on these notes
for seven and a half months and the
preferred stock dividend. The total sur
plus to May 81, 1913, was Ss55, Oils. There
is no bonded debt, and the market value
of the preferred and common stocks is
over slS,0Oo0o0: the equity back of the
100000 notes Is over three and one-half
times the total notes issued, and at

Little boy, you who think it is the
very height of humor to poster the

frightened little monkey out there, and
then see If such sport is funny, really.
Little Mike the monkey, who is no
more than handful of monkey at the
most is sick and sad Little BOYS
whom he loved as a general proposi-
ton have not been the chums he
thought they would be, and he repudi-
ates them all.
Faith in Man Shattered.
Never again will he be the jolly
monkey he was
1t all happened yesterday. when he
chung to the side of the monkey cage
and conversed with a group Of young
boys, as is his ioyial custom. He asked
them for something to eat.
They gave him something. and he
shreked joyfuly. But when he nut #
in his mouth and bit down on it his
joyful note changed to one of grief
There was something in the morsel that
stung his tender mouth and burned
and panied.
Joke For Boys-Not Mike.
He spat and sputtered, but the little
boys with a warped idea of humor only
snickered. 1t was a great joke-for
the boys. But little Mike suffered
agonies.
Folks out at the zoo had to doctor
the little monkey tenderly and battle
his mouth with a soothing lotion. II
was a grateful Mike that allowed them
to place the big syringe in his mouth
and wash out the sting Of the cruel
substance that the boys had given him
Now he doesn't speak to little boys
any more. Maybe the fact is not SO
great a catastrophe for the boys as for
him. 1t was a sad blow for Mike e
find that the friends whom he loved
and trusted would treat him so.
