SCARED BY A FISH
Or Maybe 1t Was a New Species

A VISION IN RED EAGLE LAKE.

lt Couldn't Have Been a Dream, the
Angler Admits That, Nor a Bear, hor

Dog, but Anyhow and Luckily 1t Got
Away.
In camp on Red Eagle lake In the
Glacier National park, devoured by
mosquitoes as big as cultures, as fierce
as tigers and as numerous as drops OF
water in the Pacific ocean!
This is a bad beginning for a fish
story. The language seems to suggest
that the narrator has already become
unreliable. AS a matter of fact, phrases
which are strictly accurate may be
palpably misleading
The language Of hyperbole Is needed
to present an adequate picture. Per
haps the mosquitoes are not quite so
big or fierce or numerous as stated, but
they seem to be.

guage of vivid metaphor shall be laid

The Cruel Methods In Use In Portu-

Mozambique being one of the prin.
cfpal convict settlements of the Portu-
guese government, many poor crea-
lures make desperate dashes for liber-

before the eyes of their guards. 1t
was no uncommon event to hear the
fortress gun boom forth, announcing
that another poor soul was running
this CHASTITY gantlet of the sharks soon
er than exist like half starved dog
in deplorable surroundings.
There being no capital punishment
under Portuguese law, many of the
convicts were of course Of the most
desperate type notorious murderers,
and so on Some of them. after
certain time and as a reward for good
conduct were allowed to work on
parole, leaving the fortress in the
morning and returning at night, ply
ing their various trades to their own
advantage Others Of more danger
Gus character might oe seen working
in chains on the road, guarded by
slovenly half caste sepoys.
Outside the dungeon cells were
whipping posts over which poor crea-
lures had to kneel. their arms and
legs being bound to iron rings while
lashes were administered with chi
cote, strip of hippo hide Palma
toria was another torture used. AL
though illegal TO Portuguese law, it is
/ nevertheless still widely used, causing
excruciating pain The implement
employed is a dat, spoon shaped
heavy piece Of hard wood about an
inch and a half thick, with handle
eighteen inches long, the spoon head
being perforated with five holes. The
person to be punished extends the
palms OF his hands, and sharp regu.
lar blows are administered, which at
each stroke suck up the flesh. The
bravest can rarely stand more than
thirty blows, for the tortured hands
swell to double their natural size
The sentence is often several hundred
blows, the punishment continuing on
succeeding days until Justice is sat

Reports come from West Carroll
ton that somebody in that peaceful
village is trying to do some dirty
work to the members of the Paper
Makers Union. 1t is said that net
long ago a man by the hame Of
Wilhelm, superintendent of the
West Carrollton Mill found out the
name Of one of the members of the
union and by the way was employed
in the Aetna Mill of that place.
Wilhelm got the idea into his moo
die that this man was an agitator,
and it is said went to the manage
ment of the Aetna Mill and ac-
quainted them with the fact. OF
course Wilhelm thought that the
management of the mill would rise
in their might and discharge the
officer of the union at once, but
such was not the case. The man
agement of the Aetna did ask the
man if he were an officer of the
union and when told that he was,
the management informed him that
they did not care as long as he did
his work and delivered the goods.
So the purpose of the trip of Will
helm, if true, did not materalize as
expected. From last reports of
West Carrellton, the Paper Makers
Union is in fine shape and all men
are at work.

Kick of the Mule.

A wise man, in his own estimation,
announces that a mule kicks because
1t doesn't know any better. This will
greatly surprise many students of con-
temporaneous mule life. If ever there
was an animal with low cunning ex-
pressed in it's eye and It's twitching
nostril, that animal is the mule. It's
ability to place kick where it will
give the greatest offense to its victim
is something marvellous. - Cleveland

COTTON CULTURE

A new system of cotton culture,
which lessons the danger of injury
for the boil weevil. has been devel.
oped by the office in the Bureau of
Plant Industry which is in charge
of cotton breeding. By this system
it has been made possible to control
the formation of the branches and
shorten the season required for the
setting of the crop.
The formation of the branches is
controlled by an improved method
of thinning. By leaving the plants
closer together during the early
stages the production of vegetative
branches is avoided and larger num-
bers Of bolls are developed on the
lower fruiting branches of the main
stalk of the plant.
This method of later and more
gradual thinning makes it possible
to leave more plants in the rows
than Is now customary, and yet in,
furious crowding is avoided because
the vegcta,ive branches are sup
pressed. instead of being allowed to
grow up and smother the luwer
fruiting branches where the early
flowers and hollis are produced.
Earlier planting is means of
securing larger yields in regions

HARM DONE BY FIRES
Soils of Country Losing Fer.
tility through Damage by
Forest Fires

A definite relation between the
amount of humus, or vegetable mat
ter in the soil, and its crop. produc-
ing power as shown by yields of
corn, is given in figures just issued
by the department of agriculture.
The department therefore advocates
the use Of various methods to intro
duce the required humus into the
soil.
Experts of the forest service state
that the soils of the whole country.
and particularly of the south, have
lost and are losing immense amounts
of this sourcepf soil fertility through
forest fires, which apparently do
little immediate damage, but rob
the soil of accumulations Of humus.
In many parts Of the south land is
being cleared for farming, and
where such forest land has not been
burned, there is large percentage
of vegetable matter, which provides
considerable fertility and good
texture. Moreover this soil has a
greater capacity to absorb and re-
tain moisture, and thus is less likely
to be washed and quilted under
heavy rains. For these reasons,
leaving out of account the damage
to standing timber, the departments
authorities are agreed that fire
should be rigidly kept out of wood.

have maintained their settlement on
the lands, will be allowed preference
rights to make entry Of the lands
