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

The Indians fish for salmon with
"grab-hook," a large iron hook fas-
tened to a pole by a 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 II 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 it
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 a rough
piece of dry wood of the required
length. they patiently work at it with
drawshave and knife until II 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.
If a pole breaks. as often hap
pens, the broken parts are dashed
together with string. pitch is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
n 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 across the
river as far as they can and let the
current carry it down and into the
bank. trusting to chance and a quick
jerk to hook the fish If they feel one
in the water.

World is channlnn.

The world is changing, and human
ity has less patience with difficult peo-
pie Cranky workers are not given
preference even when they are dis
tingulshed by unusual skill. Women
who aspire to popularity know that
they must bury all annoyance at what
ever does not please them in the
treatment accorded them. They can
not afford to voice any sensitive feel
ing or take any step toward retalia-
tioD. The lesson may be hard, but II
is decidedly wholesome. and the pity
of it is that so few women care to take
it.-Miiwaukee Wisconsin.

Ing up" q not Just q suitable term.
We were crawling about on all tours
just far enough out In No Mans Land
to be under the edge Of the German
shell fire and taking what shelter we
could In shell holes while our leaders
picked the way to start across. The
extra heavy bombardment had warned
the Germans that something was about
to happen. They sent up star shells
and 7"S o 8" signals until there was
. glare over the torn earth like that
which you see at the grand finish Of a
PAINS fireworks display, and mean
while they spraSed No Mans Land
with streams Of machine gun fire. In
the face Of that we started.
It would be absurd to say that We
were not frightened. Thinking men
could not help but be afraid. II we
were pallid, which undoubtedly we
were, the black upon our faces hid 1t,
but our fear struck voices were not
disguised. They trembled and our
teeth chattssed.
We sneaked out single file, making
our way from shell hole to shell hole,
nearly all tae time on all tours, crawl
ing quickly over the fat places between
this small shelter. The Germans had
not sighted US, but they were squirting
machine gun bullets all over the place
promiscuously, like man watering a
lawn with garden hose, aud they
were bound to get some of us. Behind
me heard cries Of pain and groans,
but 1t made little impression on my
benumbed intelligence from the mere
fact that whatever had happened had
happened to one Of the other sections
ef ten and not to my own. It seemed,
some way or other, no affair to con-
Germ me. Then q man in front Of me
doubled up suddenly and rolled into a
shell hole. That simply made me re-
member very clearly that was not
to stop on account Of 1t. 1t was some

other though the machine gun bullets
began to drop men almost Immediate
". Once we were started we were
neither fearful nor ratified. We had
been drilled 80 long and SO carefully
that each man knew just what he was
to do, and he kept right on doing it
unless he got hit To me it seemed
the ground was moving back under
me. The first ten yards were the
toughest The thing was perfectly Or
Santzed- Our first party of ten was
composed Of signalers. They were pay
Ing out wires and carrying telephones
to be used during the fifteen minutes
OF our stay In the German trenches
In communicating with our battalion
headquarters. A telephone code had
been arranged, using the names Of our
commanding officers as symbols. Rex
ford /" meant "First prisoners being
sent back" "Rexford 2" meant "Our
first wounded being sent over;;" "Rex-
ford 81 meant I'VE have entered Ger
man trench" The code was very COM
plete, and the signalers had been drill.
ed In 1t for q week. In case the tele-
phone wires were cut, the signalers
were to send messages back by the
use OF rifle grenades. These are rifle
projectiles which carry little metal
cylinders to contain written messages
and which burst into flame when they
strike the earth, so that they can be
easily found at night. The officer in
charge Of the signalers was to remain
at the point Of entrance, with his eyes
on his watch. It was his duty to sound
warning signal i've minutes before
the end of our time in the German
trenches.
The leader Of every party Of ten also
had whistle with which to repeat
the warning blast and then the final
blast, when each man was to drop
everything and get back of our artil-
lery fire. We were not to leave any
dead or wounded in the German trench
on account Of the Information which
the Germans might thus obtain. Be
fore starting on the raid we had re-
moved all marks from our persons, In
Guiding even our Identification disks.
Except for the signalers, each party OF
ten was similarly organized. First,
there were two bayonet men, each
with an electric hashlight attached to
his rifle, 20 a. to give tight for tho d.

SOMEONE PASS THE APPLES.

When every pool in Eden was a
mirror
That unto Eve her dainty
charms proclaimed,
She went undraped without sim
gle fear or
Thought that she need TO be
ashamed
Twas only when she'd eaten of
the apple
That she became inclined to be
a prude
And found that evermore she'd
have to grapple
With the much-debated prob
lem of the nude.
Thereafter she directed her at
tention,
Her time and all her money to
her clothes,
And that was the beginning of
convention,
And modesty as we'll, as | sup
pose
Reaction came about in fashions
recent;
Now girls conceal so little from
the men,
1t would seem that in the name of
all that's decent
Someone ought to pass the ap-
Piles round again.
