| Fishermen are very much like other
persons; they are more or less super
stitous, TO- one thing. and hey proclaim
claim their fears and whlms with
| shameless tongue.
The old saying. When the wind ia
in the north the skillful fisherman goes

pressed in verse. 1t has been proved
one on many occasions. Probably the
reason for its being is that the fisher
| man who originated II, did not care to
brave the north wind himself one day.
There is the old one about its being
the worst luck in the world to prepare
fish stringer before departing on a
trip. There is the other that the rod
must not be jointed until the reel Is
seated on the butt piece. The repre-
hensible habit of splitting on the bait.
in the good old angleworm days, is
fair sample of the illogical way in
which these offerings 10 fate are made.
But the worst OF all Is when anyone
steps over a fisherman's rod. Forty
miles Up in the air,
The theory that after such an action
no luck could possibly attend the owner
OF the rod that day was ludicrously de-
feated yesterday. An old fisherman
was hopefully angling in the Tidal ba-
sin. Some measure of fortune had at
tended his efforts. and he had a few
fish to show for his time.

and stepped merrily across the rod rest

The stopper declined. on the basis OF

The skeptical one broke in upon the

turned and at the moment the clicked
reel began to sing. With a scream of
joy. Both made simultaneous Iunge
for the rod, the fisherman winning the
heat. And in few moments 4

TALE OF TWO PARROTS,

Carl Ainsworth. has a large, green
parrot, her head is a most beautiful
yellow, and her wings are made up
of pretty green, red and blue feathe
She is a most interesting bird. She
gets behind the door and peeps
through the cracks, and when she
sees anyone she laughs and says,
"Peek boo.''
She eats cake, candy and lice, an
she likes coffee, tea and cocoa. She
is fond of bananas they being
her native food.
Carl calls her Pedro and is very
proud of her. He often hangs her
cage out on the front porch where
she amuses herself whistling dogs
around her. She calls, then. and they
look around in a bewildeped manner
trying to find out who called them,
then she screams, "get out" in such
a harsh voicethat they sometimes
fall over each other trying to get
away She always laughs, ha, ha ha
when they run. No doubt she thinks
she has played a good joke on them
Maggie Miller lives in the next
house from Carl's home. She has a
parrot too. Its smaller and younger

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE
Last Year Successful Period From
Agricultural Standpoint.

Agricultural Standpoint.
Dun's Review of Trade says:
At the opening of the new year it is
gratifying to note that 1918 was the
most successful period from an agri-
cultural standpoint that this country
has ever experienced. Nctwithstand-
ing adverse climatic conditions, the
total yield OF winter wheat surpassed
all former records, and while the corn
crop fell considerably below the ban
ner production of the preceding year,
higher prices more than compensated
for any loss in output. Consequently
the value of the nations farm prod
ucts reached unparalleled totals,
while the export trade of the United
States in those staples touched figures
never before attained
The foreign commerce statistics are
particularly significant in connection
with the monetary situation, the large
balance of trade in favor of this conn-
try indicating that gold imports may
be inaugurated early in the year 1914.

FORMER PARIS MINISTER is
INDICTED FOR LAND SCHEME

The Louisville Times of Tuesday
evening contained the following:
ION charge of using the United
States mails to defraud while. vice
president OF Texas land company,
the Rev. G. w. Argabrite, pastor of
the Franklin-street Baptist church,
1892 Washington street, this city,
was arrested by a Deputy United
States Marshal March 26. He gave
bond in the sum of $4,000 to appear
for trial at Corpus Christi, Tex, May
I25.
The arrest was made on request
of the United States Marshal at Cor
pus Christi, and on the authority of an
indictment returned by Federal
grand jury in that city charging Mr..
Argabrite, as vice-president; A. D.
Powers, president; R. Downing, secre-
tary, and E. A. Luck, director of pub
licity sales, of the Gulf Coast Immi-
grafton Company, of Arkansas county,
Tex, with setting up and operating a
scheme to defraud and using the Unit
ed States mails as a means therefor
1.-The defendants in the indictment
are charged with entering into an
agreement with Charles G. Johnson,
trustee OF certain lands at Rockport,
Arkansas county, Texas, to pay him a
percentage of the sales of the land
which had been subdivided into lots
and acre plots. Literature describing
the land as exceptionally productive,
having large vineyards and bearing
garden vegetables in abundance and
containing statements that Rockport
ic elf nh
which the Government intends to ex-
pend large sums, and that the town is
on a railroad, was circulated through
the mails, according to the indict-
ment, when" the indictment reads,
in truth and in fact the said tracts
and parcels of lands were not in cult
walton and not producing grapes, etc.
1t is further charged in the indictment
that there is no railroad running into
Rockport and that there is no deep
water harbOr in the vicinity of the
town, and that money secured by the
defendants named in the indictment
was not divided as per agreement
with the trustee of the land.
when Mr.. Argabrite was arrested
here and taken before United States
Commissioner John P Haswell he
said he had no knowledge of the
meth pursued by the company to sell
the property; that he was innocent of
any wrong intention, and that his
name was used by the concern with
out his authority"
Rev. Argabrite was formerly pastor
of the Paris Baptist church, and was
a resident of this city for several
years. He has a number of friends in
this city who will regret to hear of his
trouble.
