IS when something happens to you, like
getting lost or losing your lOllypop."

I think you are going to have an ad-

school boy and the Mississippi river
fisherman Some catfish are content to
weigh half pound while some Of them
lie in the channel of the great aIluvial
rivers and let the foOd-laden water
flow through their crotOn tunnel faces
until they attain a weight Of $50
pounds and have to be hauled out with
Windlass. When the Mississippi
fisherman feels a tug boat pulling on
his line he gives three cheers and hauls
away until he peers into the cavernous
grin of channel cat Then he loads
him on a wagon, wraps wet leaves
around him and travels through the
country saving on catfish steaks until
nothing but the grin is left The cat
fish is not as talented gastrOnOrnical 1y
as the speckled trout, but he is a su-
periOr article OF food when skinned and
dehorned and should not be scOrned on
account Of his looks.
Catfish are said to be able 10 leave
the water in dry spells and travel long
distances on land, pushing themselves
along with their spines. It was this
talent which inspired the early Ameri-
can steamboat men to build craft which
could waddle over sand bars when
T necessary and navigate long distances
on the damp remains Of a river which
had evapOrated two days before.

CatEisb Is So Named Bseaus5.I5 Looks as Mue h
Like Cat as Il Looks Like Fish. Says Fitch

-HE catfish is so named because
he looks about as much like a
= fish as he does like a cat
He is one OF the commonest citizens
in American waters and if his DISPOSE
ti0n was as bad as his looks he would
be more unpopular than a crocodile
He consists Of a vast, comprehensive
mouth with a specially constructed
head, built to accommodate it After
a catfish's head is finished there isn't
enough left OF him to make a. very i'm
pressive body. He is therefore mostly
head. However, it is a flat head with
a slanting brow The catfish is not
noted for his intelligence. He can be
caught with common hook and any
old bait as easily as a confidence man
can be hooked by smooth oil well
promoter
The catfish is literally decorated
with spines and wears two horns over
his face which look like the whiskers
Of a Chinese mandarin. He is more re-
spected on account Of his spines than
for any other reason No man who has
caressed a kicking catfish in a careless
moment can bring himself to be IA
miliar with him again very soon. A
hornets tail hurts worse than a cat
fsh's spine, but not for so long.

When the city primaries are held
November 9, Olympia electors will
vote on candidates for nine Offices,
mayor city attorney, clerk, treasurer.
cOuncilman-at-large, and four ward
Councilmen, one of the latter being
due to the recent resignation of
Councilman North and the appoint

Under the new code for third class
cities passed by the last Legislature,
the mayor, attorney, clerk, treasurer
and councilman-at-large are to serve
for two years, and the ward council
men for four years, so that half of
the council will be elected at each
biennial election, but this feature of
the law does not become effective
until 1916. Consequently, the exec
utive officers chosen at the regular
election December 9 will serve for
one year while three of the ward
cOuncilmen will serve three years.
These are successors to EshOm of the
First, Ramberg of the Third and Hord

RANFT FINED $25-APPEALS.
l.. 4 p. Crew Found Guilty of Petit
Larceny but Company Appeals.

Appeal has been taken to the local
superior court by the Olympia Light
& Power company from the decision
given by Police Judge Milton Giles
the latter part of last week when he
found Harry G. Ranft, superintend-
ent of the company, and II members
of track-laying crew guilty of petit
larceny for removing gravel on South
Main street belonging to the city,
Ranft being fined $25 and costs.
The case is the outgrowth of the
quarrel between the city. and the
company over it's tracks in the South
Main street paving district. This has
finally been compromised, the city
agreeing to pay the company $500
to remove sufficient dirt from under
its tracks to lower them to the new
grade, the company being allowed to
use the gravel for ballast.
