The Jordan brothers Of Richmond
Island carried to Portland last week
the strangest fish that has ever at
tracted the attention Of the fishermen
and fish dealers of that port. 1t was
what Is commonly known as an elec-
trio fish. for. according to the tales OF
fishermen. the fish when alive is by
some mysterious power capable OF I'M
parting to its enemies an electric shock
of voltage high enough to give IT
ample protection. 1t is said that the
shock is so severe that it will knock
man completely off his feet. This fish
is a monster specimen of the hnny
tribe. measuring full six feet in length
and being more than yard in width
1t in some ways resembled monster
founder. It's upper side was black
while the under side was dirty gray.
On the underside directly beneath it's
eyes was large mouth with tongue
resembling that of human being.
The eyes were small and set close to-
gether. giving it an extremely ugly ap-
pearance.

APACHES RESENT CHANGE

Taylor P. Gabbard, for seven years
Indian agent at the Clear Creek re
serve, near Campo Verde, has been
promoted for efficiency and in a few
weeks leaves for his new station at
Sacaton, Pinal county, where he will
have charge of the Pimas. He is to
be succeeded by DR.. ]. j. Taylor of
Supia, in the Grand Canyon.
According to a dispatch last week,
arrivals from the Verde state that
Indian superstition was somewhat
viciously manifested over the change
being made, when bucks and squaws
went to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gabbard to protest against their leav-
ing. All were skeptical over the
future welfare of the tribe that num-
bers over $50 of both sexes, and not
until their suspicious were allayed
would they acquiesce.
These Indians addressed Gabbard
as their brother, and in many in
stances We're men and women seen to
be weeping when it was learned that
the great white father had ordained
that a change should be made. The
squaws were particularly alarmed
and openly stated that the leaving Of
their agent meant sure death to those
who had reached over sixty years of
age. In short, there was consterna
tor for few days at the many wicI~
ilrs and had not Gabbard been per
sonally Oh the ground and again ex
e'ted his influence, i is quite prob
able there would have been nothing
left at Clear Greek except the res
erve in name only

QUIPS ON SUFFRkGETTES

Recently an advertising agency of
fered cash prizes for the best epigram
matte definitions OF a suffragette.
Here are some of the results:
A suffragette is a woman who
thinks she has been devoted long
enough
Not satisfied with the last word, she
also wants the first
She is the corset needed to reduce
the government waste
She is a woman who needs the
poll for her vaulting ambition
A suffragette is a sting of beauty
and a jawer forever
A woman who would rather break
windows than clean them.
A woman whose troubles are GER
tainly not little ones"
One who spends more time airing
her views than viewing her heirs.
woman who will spare no panes
to get her rights
A woman who would rather rock
the country than the cradle.
A female creature, queer and quaint
Who longs to be just what she amt
The hen that would cackle and never
Is the woman known as suffra
gette.
We can't efface, we can't forget her,
We love her still-the stiller the bet
ter!

A LAND OF FREAKS

If ever there was place on this
freakish laws and freakish deeds OF
of its people, Los Angeles land its
environments ought to capture 'the
whole bakery" for, whenever any
thing bobs up too peculiar in Its
way to be attributed to any other
spot OH Gods green earth, you may
safely check it up to Los Angeles,
especially when dogs-Which are the
Notwithstanding babies" for that
locality-are concerned. Here is one
of its latest farces, as 1t. appeared III
the Los Angeles Tribune of recent
date:
A Jury composed of twelve women,
later dwindling down to eleven when
one of the fair jurors suddenly re-
membered that she had a dress to
finish and asked the court to ex-
cuse her, brought in a verdict before
Judge Melrose at Tropico last week,
favoring the claiming OF bulldogs.
Tango, a bull pup, owned by R. w.
Gammons, was the center OF attrac-
ton in the courtroom, although his
master had been summoned before
the court by neighbor, M. l.. Steele.
The case consumed the entire day
Steele at the outset OF the case III
sisted on jury of women, statlng
that only the members of the fair Sex
could Judge such a case where hui
name treatment was the main point
to be decided. Some forty or more
women were ordered before the court
and in an hour jury had been Sc
lected. Many were excused, various
statements being made by some OF
them which barred them from serv-
ing in the case.
Steele, who conducted the case for
the prosecution argued that the chain
which held Tango was too short,
that the dog had not the liberty
which such a canine needs and fur
Their alleged inhumane treatment on
the part of the owner of the bull
pup.
There were scores and scores OF
witnesses for both sides and every
one wanted to have something to say.
Miss Sofa unearthed the sensation of
the case, when, with pointing finger
directed at Steele, she shouted: you
treat the dog in the most inhumane
manner by throwing stones at it.
Steele promptly denied the allegation.
Gammons pleaded not guilty, stat
ing that Tango is chained for the
benefit OF the cats in the district as
we'll as the community He told
dramatically the righteousness Of the
three-months-old pup, how the life OF
every feline would be miserable
should Tango get loose.
After the jury was out for many
minutes they returned headed by
Forewoman Hapgood, who said: We
the jury find that Tango has not
been cruelty treated as charged"
Wool, wool" went the pup and
patter, patter went his tail, as
hundred hands started applause and
the proud GammOns placed the ten
foot chain about Tangos neck and
paraded him back to his home to
once more be chained up.

Our New Hotel at Pointe a la,Hache.

THE people of the Parish of Plaquemines
may be proud of the handsome hotel recently
constructed at Pointe a Ia Hache by our dlstln-
guished and enterprising sheriff, Hon. Frank
Movers. The entire opening Of the new she'll
road for travel and it's near completion is al
ready developing a large amount OF travel over
the road and as it now gives a continuous shell
road or paved road from the central part of
New Orleans for fifty miles down the river, it
becomes the first long distance she'll road out OF
New Orleans. While st. Bernard Parish has
been the pioneer in road building and has set
the pace that the rest of the parishes are now
trying so earnestly to follow, St. Bernard land
P%laquemines together have given fifty miles OF
shell road which will be an example to the
whole state of Louisiana and will be wonder
fully beneficial to our own Parish of Plaque
mines. This travel at once developed the ne
cessity for increased hotel Accommodations and
the new hotel with it's adjuncts is now prepared
to take care of so to Is people and will become
a great rendezvous for those desiring to spend
the week end in the country.
The new hotel has all the modern convenien-
ces in the way of bathrooms parlors and fine
sleeping rooms. We understand that one party
of eighteen was entertained there last Sunday
and when the shell road inspection occurred
with it's joint committees a splendid dinner was
served to thirty or forty persons. We wish
Sheriff Movers every success in his new venture
and feel sure that such will be the result.
Lower coast gazette., 1914-02-28

In the February .Woman's Home Companion
appears a most interesting discussion of women
in business. The following extract from the
discussion shows how business women are paid
definitely for their work and how most house
wives receive no definite compensation for their
labors at home: Economic independence should
be as possible for women at home as for women
in business. There is some talk about the para
site woman the woman who accepts her liv-
ing with many Injuries thrown in, and gives
nothing in return. Perhaps she exists, but not.
we believe, in great or alarming numbers. The
fact is that most women work, either at home
or outside. One of the great differences in the
kind of work women do is the kind Of pay they
get. Wage-earning women get actual money
to put in their pockets, and there is an ~intoxica-
ton about the possession of your W funds
that is not quite like anything else. AS one
business woman expressed it: you can buy
clothing and go hungry, or buy delicate food and
go naked, or give your money away and 90
both hungry and naked if you like. You are in
your small way, a god. | dom know that there
is anything better than earning your own liy-
ing; what | do know is that pay day is a good
day, even if its all owing" The average woro-
an who works at home is still in the stage Of ex-
change and barter with no medium Of exchange
to measure values with. There are some parts
OF the countrp where you may pay in kind;

Meeting Of the Parish Committee.

The Plaquemines Parish Democratic Execu.
tive Committee was called to meet at Pointe a
Ia Hache on Saturday, February q, for the pur-
pose of calling a primary to nominate a police
jurynan for the 9Th ward, to take the place Of
Hon. Dave Withan. who recently resigned. The
short time allowed between the order given by
the governor for the election and the dates set
for the election was scarcely competent to per-
NIT adequate notice to be given to the members
Of the committee. AS it was, however, out of
25 members of the committee is were repre-
scented in person or by proxy. In accordance
with the law candidates for the position were
required to make a deposit and to announce
their candidacy on or before Tuesday night,
March Sd.
The Parish Committee then adjourned to
meet on Wednesday noon, March d. for the pur-
pose Of ordering the primary if there be more
than one candidate and if there be but one, to
announce the declaration of his nomination to
the secretary of state as provided by law.
