ROOSEVELT WON'T TALK.
Refuses TO Discuss Story That He is to
Equip Military Expedition.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Theodore
Roosevelt refused yesterday to discuss
the report that ne contemplated re-
cruiting his division, already partly or
ganized for possible service in Mexico,
to Europe in the event Of a war with
Germany.
'''1 haven't a thing to say said
Col. Roosevelt, when asked about the
report.
From intimate friends of Col. Roosc-
velt il was learned that he is prepared
to recruit his proposed division on
short notice. II was stated that the
disposition Of the force will depend
entirely upon the War department and
the President.
Col Roosevelt is understood to have
the names and addresses Of men with
military experience in sufficient number
to furnish practically a full eomple-
mcnt of officers for from 10000 to p
600 men. All these, it was said, would
be available on short notice.
f, At the Langdon hotel. Col. Roose
welt received many callers whose mis-
sion was obviously military rather thar
political. The fact that Col. Roose
Welt POSTPONED his projected trip t,
Jamaica also was considered significant
One of the men close to Col Roosa
Welt said that his arrangement hat
gone no further than the recruiting O
force, provided he should receive TIL
necessary commission from Presiden
Wilson.
Al the same time il was admitte,
that Col. Roosevelt s temperament i
such that he wanted to see active ser
vice, if possible, in the event of wa
with Germany.

DUMMERSTON.

The play, Above the Clouds, present
cd Friday night in Dummorston under
the auspices of the ladies' club was
decided success. The acting was ex
ceptiOnally good and much credit is
due the stage manager, Mrs. Lila Reed
for the way in which the play was pro
dueed. The music by Mr.. and Mrs. E.
ii. Miller and Abbott Richmond added
greatly to the enjoyment of the oe-
casion. About $50 persons attended
the play and partook of the excellent
ehicken-7ie supper which was served
afterward.

INDIANS USE A GRABHO0K
Have Unique Outfit Which They Use
In Fishing for SaImon-Poles
Are Twenty Feet Long.

The Indians fish for salmon with a
"grab-hook," a large iron hook fas-
tened to pole by loose cord three
or four feet long. A hole at the blunt
end of the hook that slips over the
tip Of the pole keeps 1t in place until
the fish is hooked. Then the hook is
pulled off the pole and the cord gives
the fisherman a chance to play his
fish If necessary before dragging 1t
ashore says the Southern Workman.
The hooks are made by the black
smith, but the poles, about 20 feet in
length, the Indians make them
selves of red fir. Taking rough
piece Of dry wood of the required
length, they patiently work at 1t with
drawshave and knife until 1t is the
right size and tapering to suit the
workman. Then it is usually hard
ened In the Goals before putting on the
cord, which they braid themselves.
II pole breaks, as often hap
pens, the broken parts are dashed
together with string pitch is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
a hot stone, which makes the pole as
strong as before. The Indians gen.
orally fish from the bank or from
platforms built over the water. They
thrust the long pole out acr0s the
river as far as they can and let the
current carry 1t down and into the
bank, trusting to chance and a quick
Jerk to hook the fish If they feel one
In the water.

Under this talk PalOma stirred I'M
easily, and at the first opportunity
burst out: "It's far from safe for you

"Not so far as L can learn. Only
today made official report that moth
ing whatever could be discovered about
him. Certainly he Is nowhere In Ro-
nero, and it is my personal belief that
the poor fellow was either drowned
In the river or made way with for his
money. Probably the truth will never
be known"
Longorio had come to spend the
evening, and his keen pleasure In
Alaire Austin's company made him so
Indifferent to his personal safety that
nothing short Of rude dismissal
would have served to terminate his
visit. Neither Alaire nor her compan-
ion, however, had the least idea how
keenly he resented the presence Of Pa
Iona Jones.
1t was remarkable wooing; on the
one hand this half-savage man, gnawed
by jealousy, needless of the Illicit ma
ture of his passion, yet held within the
bounds of decorum by some fag-end
of responsibility; and on the other
hand, a woman, bored, resentful and
tortured at the moment by fear about
what was happening at the river bank.
1t was late when Austin arrived.

poultryman started supplying the lead

Through the publicity the drug store
gave him, opportunities by the score
