HOW FISH CAUGHT MAN

ENDEAVOR TO LAND HIM

HOW FISH CAUGHT MAN
~ w AND MADE 4 BOLD
ENnEAVOR TO LAND HIN.
A sportsman tells of Il curious
incident. From his story, which
appears 10 be authentic, II ap-
pears that Il party Of fishermen
were out in a boat after gud'
gcOn. One Of the men, whose
horse had become lamcd some
miles from home. had been taken
on hoard, but was not fishing. As
q penalty for wearing spurs he
snt in the bow with his feet
hanging over the side of the
skin.
Soon after his entrance into
the boat one of the anglers
caught a small gudgcon, which
he playfully hung on the horse
mans projecting spur. The in
cIdcnt was forgotten and the
gudgeon hung there, its tail Just
touching the water.
Suddenly the man gave a cry
Of aStcNi,hment, and the others
looking mp saw n large iackfiSh
Splashlng the water In vigorous
fashion. The boat began to
rock; the man in the bow lost
his,balancc and tumbled into the
lake, where he disappeared from
sight.
4 moment later he rose to the
surface, the jackfsh still thrash
ing the water about his foot, and
It was seen that the fish was
caught on the spur. The jack
was a huge fellow and very
strong, and In It's struggles for
freedom It plunged down toward
the bottom Of the lake, dragging
the man feet foremost after 1t.
His weight, however was too
much for the fish and 1t made
small headway.
The fishermen now went to
the assistance of their Compan-
ion. one of them struck the jack
with an oar and stunned it. The
man was pulled into the boat and
the jackfish despatched, The big
fish had jumped for the gudgeOn,
fixed its teeth In lis body and
had somehow been caught by the
gill on the crane-necked spur.

How TO Drive a Pea in a Tree.


We are planting memorial forests
and are learning to protect and pre-
serve our wild life, both animal and
vegetable; therefore, when we are in
the wilds we must he careful not to
destroy timber, and II we want to use
a tree for hat rack, n clothes rack
or gun rack, we must devise some
method which will not injure the tree.
The old-time wOOdsman did this by
Striking his axe into the trunk of the
tree and thereby making perpendic-
ular cut. Into the center of this cut
he would then drive a blunt peg. The
advantage of this lies in the fact that
an upright wound on tree heals
readily and leaves practically no scar
therefore, II when one leaves camp
the peg is knocked from It's place
there will be no injury done to the
tree.--Boys' life.

OUT FOR MEXICAN BUSINESS.

More than 100 American houses
have begun business in Mexico within
the past two years, and all of them
arc greatly encouraged by the more
settled conditions that exist there at
this time. according to a report from
the American Chamber of Commerce
of the United States today.
Numerous other firms. 1t is stated,
arc now making inquiries as to the
credit situation, the volume of bust
ness and other phases of the general
trade situation across the Rio Grande.
Americans are liable to lose large
share of Mexican trade unless they
follow the example of other countries
in extending more liberal credit
terms, the report states.
az 100 American manufacturers
could come down to Mexico City and
study the business OF the CITY," the
report continues, "there would be an
enormous change in the system of
giving credit to Mexican merchants
instead of demanding cash in advance
on order, they would be willing to
give open accounts and ninety days
with absolute confidence.

WHOLESALE PRICES
OF SHOES REDUCED
Retailers, However, Are Slow to
Place Orders and Manufac-
Aturers CurtaiI Operations.

Deep cuts in price quotations on
boots and shoes are being made by
manufacturers, but retail dealers
fairly well stocked up are slow in
placing orders for future delivery.
This comment of agents of the Fed J.
eral Reserve Board, reflects a steady
decline in retail shoe prices. as re-
tailers reduce their inventories, and
replace goods now on their shelves
with new deliveries.
Curtailed operations, and in some
districts complete shutdowps, as a
result of the shoe market slump, IL
reported to the Board. Operations in
the Boston district are reported only
about 40 per cent Of normal, with
manufacturers receiving little spring
business.
Increases In both shipments and
current business are noted In reports
from the st. Louis district. but a
falling of in future orders has re-
duccd manufacturing activity.
Manufactures are buying little
leather There has bees conse-
quent reduction in prices OF both
upper and sole feathers. Tsnneries
accordingly have reduced their scale
of operations. From the Phlla-
dclphia district, reports said that
price concessions have failed "a
stimulate trade. A decrease Is noted
both In finished stock for tmmedist
use and orders for future delivery.
