I hoped to catch some trout. After a
long time my search was rewarded.
found a spring hole which was alive
with them.

where with rocks l made a small pool.
Then went back to the big pool and
began to drive the trout into the small
pool. Down they went into my trap.
All had to do was to wade in and
just pick them up with my hands. I
gathered up as many as l thought l
needed and carried them to a rough
lean-to-one which 1 had thrown up
the night l came to this region from
the Lost pond district.
Doubtless people who have always
ished with line and hook can scarce
ly conceive catching fish with the bare
hands. But it is the simplest thing in
the world. In some instances during
my life in the forest l could have OBJ

the water out of the dam. In the shall
low pools were stranded quantities of
fish. l did this out of necessity, and
as soon as l had all l needed l i'm
mediately damned up the broken
places so that the fish left behind

OF course many of the fish l caught
in the Big Spencer stream country

some sort of preparation on my part.
To cure the fish, selected several flat
rocks and built a smoke hole with
them, in which l hung the fish on

Respect to National FIass.-There

Respect to National Flass.-There is
nothing about which civilized nations
are so sensitive as the courtesy due to
their national flags. A deliberate in
suit to a flag will bring even the most
patient of nations to boiling point.
Flag incidents always lead to strained
relations and often to war.
How seriously nations take these
things is shown by the suddenness
with which a war-cloud loomed up
when Huerta, the Mexican dictator,
quibbled about saluting the American
flag after his officers had illegally ar
rested United States marines.
1t was a flag incident that renewed
the Balkan war after Turkey had been
successfully crushed by the three al
lies. There was strong ill-feeling
among the allies as to the division of
the spois A small Servian party
crossed the Bulgarian border and was
quietly looting a village near VratZa,
when the local postmaster hoisted the
red, green and white Bulgarian flag
over the postOffice. He was shot in the
act and the flag riddled with bullets.
Next morning Bulgaria declared war.
Flag incidents keep cropping up ac-
cidentally, but apologies smooth mat
ters over 1t is, for instance, mortal
insult for a ship to fly another nation
al flag below its own, as this implies
capture and conquest. 1t has occasion
ally been done with flags on gala oc-
casions. A Russian warship did it some
years ago during call at Portsmouth.
1t was. of course, followed by a COM
plete apology to the local admiral.
This explains, why, when the British
admiralty issued a universal code or
signals some years ago for use by all
the nations, there was good deal or
international heartburning over the
colored plate of national flags that
prefaced it. The Union Jack, natural
iy, came first Diplomatic relations
particularly with Germany, were rather
strained for some time, though there
was no danger of war. 1t was recalled
that alphabetical order was impossi-
BILE. as many nations spell each others
names differently. Britain, for example
would count Germany among the G's,
while Germany calls itself Deutsch
land, among the D's.-Philadelphi

This Years Wheat Crop.-Despite a
wheat crop estimate this year Of $780,
OOO. 900 bushels, the largest on record,
there is no prospect, according to the
department of agriculture, of greatly
reduced prices. Such Il large crop
would augur very low prices. said the
department in statement recently,
were it not that the worlds crop of
wheat and competing grains do not
promise more than the average of re-
cent years. Besides. more than the
usual diversion of wheat from its use
as food for live stock may be expect
ed because of the present relatively
short supply of corn in sections where
there is promise of abundant wheat.
With corn selling in Kansas for
about seven cents more per buShel
than wheat. it is not surprising. otli-
cials say. that much wheat should be
consumed as feed by animals 1t is
estimated that about 100000 BUSH
els of wheat of last years crop was
consumed as animal feed.
Wheat sold for only IA cents Il
buShel more than corn on July |, ac-
curding to the average of prices for
all states, just announced by the de-
partment of agriculture. In Kansas
corn was selling for seven cents more
buShel than wheat This was due to
the failure of the Kansas corn crop
last year and the fine prospect of the
wheat crop this year.
The average price Of wheat for the
country on July l was 16.9 cents a
bushel This is 1913 cents less than
the July average for the past five
years. In North Carolina the price
was S1.O5. while in oklahoma it was
6i cents.
The average price of corn was 1915
cents a bushel, or six cents bushel
more than the five-year average. In
Iowa corn sold at 63 cents; in North
Carolina 9S cents.

FAMOUS CITY OF WITCHES
Twenty Persons Put to Death tc
Stamp Out Black Art.

stamp Out Black Art.
Salem is famous in early Colonial
history for it's witches. The delusion
which led to the execution Of twenty
persons and the torture Of fifty origi-
mated through the hysteria Of the chill
dren of the Rev. Samuel Paris, says
the New York Times. In the winter
Of 1912 his daughter Elizabeth, aged
Q: his niece Abigail Williams, aged II,
and several friends used to meet and
practice tricks. A half-negro slave,
Tituba, began to teach them what she
called the black art" and soon they
were barking like dogs or screaming at
some object they said they could see
although invisible to everyone else.
Witchcraft was a very real thing to
the people Of the seventeenth century,
and Cotton Mather and his teachings
encouraged the belief in it. Some one
had to be blamed for the folly Of the
girls, and Paris beat Tituba until she
admitted that she had bewtched the
children.
John Indian, her husband, through
fear, accused others, and the young
people Of Salem, notably Ann Putnam,
spread the stories. At length regular
reign Of terror prevailed in the village.
Any one who had grudge against an
other could accuse him, and strangely
enough, some Of those thus calumin-
ated admitted that they really were
obsessed. A special court was formed
to try those who had sold themselves
to the devil. and it was unsafe to ex-
press doubt Of any ones guilt.
Paris got the Rev. George Bur-
roughs, pastor Of Salem, hanged as
friend Of the witches, and one coionist
Giles Corey, a man Of 80, in connec-
ton with the craze achieved the dis
tinction to be the only man ever slain
in America, by the old punishment Of
peine forte ct dure. Accused by Ann
Putnam, he was determined to do all
he could to save his property for his
""milv " he was brought to trial and
convicted it would be confiscated, and
the one way he could avoid this was to
refuse to plead. So he stood mute as
the charge was read to him, and, ac-
cording to custom, his obduracy was
punished by the peine forte ct dure.
Iron weights were piled upon him but
not quite enough to crush him. Then
he was left to linger in agony and fed
with only enough bread and water to
keep him alive.
Tradition has it that the brave old
man stood this torture with such cour-
age that he taunted his prosecutors
and asked them to pile on heavier
weights. He died this way and four
days later his wife also was tried for
witchcraft and hanged.

Bauer has always been a fayorite in
London, which was his home early in

Another point which the Telegraph
emphasizes in its tribute is the fact
that the pianist's programs are in,

REAL THRILLER

For two hours last night spectators
who filled every seat at the Hawaiian
opera house sat spell-bound as thou
sands of feet OF picture film were un-
reeled which depicted a powerful
story of white slavery, under the IL
tie Of The Traffic in Souls"
This highly sensational and inter
esting photo-drama, founded upon the
Rockefeller white slavery inyestiga-
ton, began a brief engagement in
this city. the picture. realistic to a
startling degree, creating a profound
impression. At frequent intervals the
efforts of company of talented play
ers were accorded enthusiastic ap-
plause. - ~,
In the treatment of a delicate sub
iect, the picture as presented last ey-
ening leaves little room for, crit
icism. 1t might be said that while
there are occasional flashes of real
ism, many of the climaxes reached in
the development Of the plot are to an
extent overdraWn. One noticeable
feature of the work is that the police
department of great metropolis Is
shown in a most favorable light
EsDecialIv is this depicted when a
police officer. brfbed by an agent In
the Illicit traffic, while receiving the
money. quickly returns the sum to the
donor, and at the same instant adj
ministered q sound thrashing to the
white SLAYER.
1t requires six reels Of film to prop
erly set forth story that retains the
interest OF the spectator to the last.
The setting Is realistic and original
and some excellent photography has
been Incorporated in the production.
1t may be said that there Is nothing
contained in the thousands of feet of
motion picture that would serve to
offend those of prudish or sensitive
inclination.
As a drama. all ends well and virtue
triumphs. The effort of a metropolis
tan police department In running
down the evil doors and breaking up

interesting feature to local police
who attended the perform
ance in large numbers.
