STORIES
FOR LITTLE CHILDREN
By L. Roy Ferris.
DEVILS RIVER.

Are these Devil River bass"
asks the diner in the fashionable
cafe at San Antoine. To which the
Mexican waiter points to the hand
some embossed sign on the wall
Devil River Bass" this settles all
arguments and the price is paid, no
quibbling. This little narrow swift
stream is pointed out with pride, by
natives as 1t rushes thru the sandy
cactus country: indeed 1t is a dia-
mond in the setting, so to speak, with
its green grassy banks and inviting
clear crystal waters. 1t is the bus
lest little shallow stream in the
United States. While only a scant
quarter of a mile at the widest point
and from two to six feet in depth
depth, it is the fisherman's paradise.
The millionaire, with his $3.50
steel diamond tipped, jointed pole,
with agate guilds, hobnobs with the
ignorant Mexican who with his Naya-
10 blankett over his shoulder and the
most primitive fishing tackle imag-
Unable manages to catch his share
and, yes, his rich friends share, for,
be it as it may, when thesun takes
a notion to suddenly drop down be-
hind the Santa Rosa Mountains across
into old Mexico, the wearer of the
highly colored blanket finds he has
several bright pieces of American"
money to jingle-which will buy
guitar strings, cigaret paper, frihoIe
beans, and a little "muscal", if you
please, whish means in American,
the fermented juice of the Leichegea
weed which is as dangerous in its ma
tive state , owing to it's sharp dagger
Mexico Missouri message., 1917-01-18

like leaf, as 1t is when made into
cheap whiskey. Well, a fair ex-
change is no robbery, so the million
aire strolls back to the hotel amid
the admiring glances of his friends
as he displays his catch.
Many caves are found along the
banks of this stream. One of which
the writer was thinking seriously of
exploring but, when being told that
sixteen skeletons were found in that
cave a few months previous, 1t was
put off for some future time.
Whether these people were killed
by Mexicans is not known, but that
some terrible disaster overlook them
was an evident fact. Their bones
were on exhibit at a small town
few miles away.
Now, for the honey part of this
story, the nativeAmerican who are
mostly ranchmen visit the banks of
this stream to rest and hunt honey
with the aid of a stick Of dynamite.
The entrance to small caves is
opened and instead of lard-cans and
dishpans full of honey is sometimes
found by the wagon load. Honey
that bees have been storing for years.
Swiftly the river glides until it
empties into the muddy Rio Grande.
Then, as tho refusing to mingle with
the dirty waters of that stream, the
curious sight of river from the
Mexican side to the middle of the
stream yellow with midland from
the American side to the center, as
clear as crystal, refusing to mingie
until they have travelled several miles
together.
