Storm CenterS
BY JANE MLEAN,

BY JANE MLEAN.
A wide sea waste with lowering clouds
Sweeping above the roll of foam.
Pale rain ghosts clad in misty shrouds
A ship at sea sails spread for home.
And rain, wind maddened, shivering by
Till westward CLEANS the first clear sky.
Long lashes cast discreetly low,
The Quivering of tender chin
Rose color in a wavering glow,
storming the tide that swells within.
Till with the tears that quickly dry
Eyes misty still, the storm sweeps by.

FISH DYING IN
STRANGE MANNER

Estherville. Feb. 11.-W. j. Pullen
went out to Swan lake again recently
to look after the fish in the lake Just
what is the trouble out there he is not
able to say. 1t seems the people
around the lake thought the fish lack
ed air. Their condition Is most Pc
culiar at any rate. They are dying
by the hundreds. They seem to be
able to come up to the holes when
cut in the ice, but they soon expire
on reaching the top Of the water.
From the looks Of the fish they have
been practically dead for weeks, the
fleah on portions of their bodies is
white and In some cases somewhat
decayed. Mr.. Pullen is at loss to
know Just what is the trouble or just
what can be done for the fish.
