CAT CATCHES FISH.
Draqs Them From Water to the Shore
and Then Eats Them.

Hancock, Md,-Not content with the
ordinary yarns that are spun by an
glers, somebody is telling tale about
cat that goes fishing.
As everybody knows, the ordinary
cut fears water rs much as tramp
despiSes it; but, according to the Han
cock man, the cat Of which he talks
and writes wales into the adjacent
creek, adopts a policy of watchful
waiting for fish to come its way, and
when this happens it grabs the mem
Der of the finny family. Tugs it ashore
and then proceeds to eat 1t.
A more imaginative narrator Of fish
stories would have embellished the
foregoing yarn with additional details
as to how after getting its prey to the
shore the cat hunted up some brush
and wood, made fire and cooked the
fish before eating it, but the Hancock
man wisely refrains from putting such
strain upon credullty.

ABOUT PREPARING
MEATS FOR SHIPMENT
Farmers Given Some Advice
by Dairy and Food Com
mission Nickel

Farmers who have had hard luck in
shipping dressed meats to the commits
sion houses at Portland are cautioned
hereafter to take more care in prepar-
ing them for shipment. J. D. Nickel,
dairy and food commissioner sends out
this warning, stating that during the
past 16 months the city health depart
ment of Portland had condemned 49,
426 pounds of meat that was killed and
dressed by farmers. Mr.. Nickel makes
the following suggestions: The car
casses of veal and hogs must be entire
ly free from animal heat before being
offered to the transportation company
for shipment. Also, all careasses of
veal should have two sticks, one in the
thoracie cavity and the other in the
abdominal cavity so as to spread the
carcass and hold it apart. In hogs
weighing over 200 pounds, il would
be well to have them split through the
hips and shoulders, as hogs sour very
quickly during hot weather. The in
sides of veal should be thoroughly
washed with hot water and wiped clean
with clean cloth until all slime and
dampness is thoroughly removed. The
sprinkling of cayenne pepper ON the in
sides of the carcass tends to prevent
the work of flies.
All carcasses except veal must be
wrapped in a clean cloth before being
offered for shipment.

Another Of Honor Gang

Government Control
Makes Gamblers Nervous

New York, Aug. 22.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The drastic overhauling Of the coal
supply industry by the government
promising as it does similarly drastic
treatment of the steel, copper and other
lines, caused a good deal Of nervous
liquidation in the first hour of today e
session of the stock market. Price re-
cessions ranged from one to more than
four points.
After the first hour trading died
down and through the midday well into
the afternoon the general list simply
dragged along at gradually improving
values. 1t has been said for some time
past that the market was practically
sold out, but today's demonstration in
dicates that such was not literally true.
Bethlehem B more than recovered its
loss by midday and substantial recov-
cries were made in the others. The cop
per stocks continued weak.
In the later afternoon there was a
good deal of shifting about in fairly
active trading. Distinct improvement
took place in the steel group at inter
walls, especially Bethlehem b shares,
which advanced rapidly above 1l2.
