 He clutched the oars in earnest A few luSty strokes drove the boat down to where the glare from the campfire of the Boss crew of "clammers'' flared out across the water. There he turned in to get the jack light.
 X dirtier bunch of men than the five lounging about that campfire couldn't ] be found anywhere else in the world except in another "clammer's" camp. The practice of the early pearl fishers was to put the clans in vats and al- low them to die there and rot. This muck was aftcrward carefully han dled" for whatever pearls it might con tain.
 The ordinary jack light is simply an oil burner-in early days candle, or fire of pine Euots-urrunged with re- necrur-On the bow of the boat in such way as tn throw the full brilliancy of the light down upon the water, leaving the fisherman himself in dark ness. Such a light, if the night be dark and the water quiet and clear, renders objects beneath the surface perfectly plain to considerable depth.
 While the Boss was fastening the iack light to the bow of the boat the Pearlhuntcr stepped ashore to blacken the points of the freshly Sharpened spear in the blaze of the campfire, for all fishermen know 1t Is never advis- able to strike with spear that gilt around the fire. But toss of his hand. a toss of five hands in response, was all that passed between them men that would lidve carried a com rade for miles nt need; that would share the last bite with him; that would knife him just as readily at a fancipd grievance. Such were the river men; law unto themselyes-a simple code. warped fantastiCally- with knife and pistol for judge and jury; leftover product of other days when clansmen followed their chief and asked no questions; bi-product of the border who found it. hard to disarm when civilization came in.
 The Boss slipped an oar into the water and laid the boat more toward the south shore over the deepest part of the bar Hardly hId he done so when the Pcarlhunter lowered the point of his spear. The outline of an immense black bass took shape under the glare of the jack light, half hidden among the swaying verdure. as if ly- ing in wait for his prey, which in all likelihood he was, a scaly tiger of the stream in ambush, The spear slid into the water and stole toward him. All unalarmed he lay, his fins idly flaming the fern-like moss In which he lurked, little suspeCting the fve-pronged death creeping upon him. The points were within three feet of the glossing scales when the Pearlhunter struck. There followed a moment of fierce furry among the waving ferns: a little

shower of spray broke the surface of the water, and all was over. A fish does not struggle long when the spear goes home.
 "SiX-poundpr. If he's an ounce" chuckled the Boss when tho fish lay in the bottom of the boat. The Pearl hunter rested his spear upon the gun vale and bent above the jack light. The boat drtfted on.
 It was perhaps hali an hour later when, in the leisurely manner Of men returning from a season of successful sport, the two fishermen, with the pick of all they had tloated over In the bottom of the boat. rOwcd up the stream. The glare of the campfire was beginning to sllther upon the drip ping oar blades and the ripples they raised when the Boss laid the boat nearer the south shore with the re. mark:

 The Boss was in the very act of turning the boat across the river to the camp when he was startled by an excited exclamation from his COmnan- ion. who had suddenly leant low and dangerously far out over the water, He was up on the instant and had flashed the jack light around the boat. In his dripping hand there was an i'm mense river mussel.
 The old Boss had no sooner caught the blulsh-purple glitter shedding from the hinge knobs of the giant bivalve than he uttered a shout that walked the echoes up and down the river shore, and brought the five men at the camp running down to the waters edge.
 "A Blue Moon 1" he yelled. "By the gods. a Blue Moon 1"

INDIANS WORSHIP SUN Ancient Customs Carried Out
 Amid Weird Surroundings.
Every Year in Midsummer 5annoek Indians Go to Dancing Grounds
 for Rite of Thanks.

Pocatello, IdahO.-Every year in midsummer the BannOck Indians travel Unlicensed trail to their dane ing grounds. Between 500 and 1000 of them gather yearly to worship the sun.
 In the vast quiet of the evening, when the hush has fallen over the sage brush and the sun Is great ball or red fire sinking behind the mountains, the dreary beat of their tomtoms and the low. ghostly chant of their song can be heard for miles. The sound grows In strength as one approaches until with a great burst of glarlnS campfres and seeming confusion the camping grounds are reached. Indians In their native garb are everywhere, hldeous in their war paints and with gllstening naked bodies.
 In the center of a corral made from limbs stands d pole. Back against the walls are the dancers and the chant CTS, and In rhythm to the beat Of the tomtOms the dancer advances to the pole. eyes upllfted in worship.
 The young bucks who dance are not permitted to eat or drink for three days and are accompanied by the tom toms beaten by the squaws. The dance is a religious rite and festival of thanks to the gods for bOuntiful crops and herbs. streams full of fish and the sky full of fowls.
 Now and then one falls to the ground unconscious from physical eX- haustion and Is carried to the side to recover.

Gustav Stoney of near MontgomcryyilIe was awakened from hls reverie when a goat butted him over the rail of the pigsty among the pigs. The porkers crawled all over him and Stoney and the pigs gave grunts, squeals and yells. Finally Stoney's son came to his fathers res cue. He chased off the pigs and Stoney, the elder, emerged from the p!gs;y. He was cut and bruised.

HE MIGHT CHARGE FOR A LOOK
Certainly, at Price Druggist Wanted
for Oil, Little Should Go
Long Way.

Recently, one cold morning, several
women were waiting in North side
drug store until the street car came.
A colored woman entered and asked
the druggist for certain kind of oil.
He went to the rear of the store
where he kept the stock, and coming
back, said: "It is 1925 an ounce.
How much do you want?"
The colored woman was plainly dis
concerted at the high price. After
a seconds hesitation her face bright
ened. as she said earnestly: 'Maybe
a drop would be enough"
Just as seriously the druggist re-
piled: Lady, we don't sell it by the
drop"
The ludicrous side of the situation
struck the women spectators and they
began to laugh. One of them re-
marked: "Well, at that price / think
smell would be sufficient" INDIAN

OUCH! LUMBAGO PAIN!
RUB BACKACHE AWAY
Bottle of Old "St.
Jacobs OIL"

Kidneys cause Backache? No!
They have no nerves, therefore can
not cause pain. Listen! Your back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or a strain, and the quickest relief is
soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs OIL"
Rub it right on your painful back,
and instantly the soreness, stiffness
and lameness disappears. Don't stay
crippled! Get small trial bottle Of
"St. Jacobs Oil'' from your druggist
and timber up. A moment after it is
applied you'll wonder what became of
the backache or lumbago pain.
Rub old, honest "St. Jacobs Oil"
whenever you have sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism or sprains, as it is abso-
lutely harmless and doesn't burn the
skin.-Adv.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
