fifteen minutes, through many aerial
leaps and numberless soundings, rod
bending double and reel shrieking In
agony, only to have him flop loose
just as the net was slipped beneath his

"JIM" HILL GUESSED WRONG
RaIIroader Once Made the Prediction
That St. Paul Would Never
Amount to Much.

There are few men who can chal-
Ienge successfully the foresight of the
late James J. Hill, but Capt. Jerry
Turner of Lansing, Ia, who visited st.
Paul for the first time in fifty-two
years the other day, is one of them.
Captain Turner relates how he over
heard Mr.. Hill make the assertion that
st. Paul never would remain long as
the head of navigation on the Upper
Mississippi, and that was more than
half century ago.
81 was then plying the Upper Mis-
sfssippi on the steamer City Belle"
Captain Turner said. "Mr. Hill, who
ut that time was clerking on the
wharf, was aboard the boat discussing
prospects with the captain.
"Wacouta is the logical head Of navi-
cation on the Mississippi" Mr.. Hill
said. "St. Paul cannot long retain the
distinction for this reason. Just as
soon as the farm lands on the Upper
Mississippi are we'll under cultivation,
the upper channel is bound to fill up,
and boats of any consequence will be
unable to ply that far north"

IF THE G. O. P. ELEPHANT
COULD SPEAK THE TRUTH
VOTERS of the U. S. A.

VOTERS of the U. S. A.
We, the Republican party, being at
our wits end and desperate, put 1t
up to you:
For nearly four years now Demo-
cratic Administration has been in
power. Contrary to every law of
reason, every principle of progress,
the country is at peace and alive,
nay, humming with prosperity. Busi-
ness is rushing. Wages are high. The
only discomfort is the discomfort of
those who are reaching for bigger
chunks of plenty.
We are flabbergasted. All this has
happened during period when the
rest of the world has been agOg, when
international crises were impending
on all sides. when we would have
sworn only Republican statesmanship
could pull the nation through.
No war has engulfed us. No panic
has paralyzed us. No nation has
with impunity continued to infringe
upon our rights.
We can't deny what has been done.
All we can do is take our oath we
could have done it better. How, we
do not know. If only we said 1t loud
and long enough we hoped the coun-
try would believe us.
But the country is busy and our
voices grow hoarse. We are having n
hard time.
Woodrow Wilson has nothing to
show but what he has accomplished.
He has none of the glamour of the
what-mlght-be. We. on the contrary.
have our old promises and policies.
mellowed by age. but still bearing
the stamp of the nations solid inter-
ests. Protection, privilege, govern
ment by nfluence-surely the country
has not given them their last trial.
Wall street is with us. Big bust
ness is with us. But o, Voters, we
confess it, we need you. Don't keer
looking ut the peace and prosperity
around you. Try to get our point of
view. Whatever Wilson has done, the
man Is a Democrat. and neither Fed
eral Government nor Federal offices
were meant to be forever In such
hands.
Let's forget issues and talk as
friends. Turn him out and give us
chance!

Fish Couldn't suhmeroe.

Sitting on his porch the other morn
ing, ]. w. Stewart noticed good
sized catfish floating downstream,
Statesville IN. c. correspondent of
the New York Sun writes. The fish
was very much alive and was in much
commotion, apparently trying to go
under water and for some reason
unable to.
Mr.. Stewart was interested and he
got his boat, went out on the river and
captured the fish. He put Il in a tub
of water and found that it wouldn't
sink. This led to further examination
and Mr.. Stewart says he found the
fish had swallowed large quantity
of wheat-having access to the wheat
as a result of the recent floods-the
wheat grains had swelled SO the fish
couldn't digest them and altogether
that gorge of wheat had put that fish
In bad fix. He not only could not
go under the water, but he was doubt
less suffering much "misery" on his in
sides.
In all his long experience on the
river Mr.. Stewart says he had never
come across a case like that.

EMBLEM OF GERMAN GENIUS
Great Author Describes River Rhine
as Index of-the Character Of
country's Literature.

On leaving Cologne the stream winds
round among banks that do not yet
fulfill the promise of the Rhine; but
they increase in interest as you leave
Surdt and Godorf. he.peculiar char
acter of the river does not, however,
really appear, until by degrees the
Seven mountains, and "The Castled
Crag of Drachenfels" above them all,
break upon the eye. Around the
Nieder Cassel and Rheidt the vines lie
thick and clustering and, by the shore,
you see from place to place the islands
stretching their green length along,
and breaking the exulting tide.
Leaping into the broad bosom Of
the Rhine come many stream and
rivulet upon either side. Spire upon
spire rises and sinks Us you sail on.
Mountain and city-the solitary island
the castled steep-like the dreams of
ambition, suddenly appear, proudly
swell. and dimly fade away.
"You begin now," said Trevelyan,
''to understand the character Of the
German literature. The Rhine is an
emblem of its luxuriance, its fertility,
it's romance. The best commentary to
the German genius Is visit to the
German scenery. The mighty gloom
of the Harz the feudal towers that
look over vines and deep valleys on
the legendary Rhine; the gigantic re-
mains of antique power, profusely
scattered over plain, mount and for
est; the thousand mixed recollections
that ha11Ow tho ground. tho Stptply
