New Meaning of Mlntriuue.n

The latest verbal importation from
France that have had occasion to re-
mark Is no more than the comforting
Of a new meaning upon an old word.
In English Ito intrigue" has always
meant to plot surreptitiously, whereas
In French it was always used (by ex-
tensiOn) to indicate the state Of puz-
. zled doubt in which we may find our
selves when we have reason to suspect
surreptitfous plot; and this sec
ondary French meaning is now pass
Ing over into English, so that we may
'rread in the light stories that run
through our magazines, "she intrigued
me-" meaning that she puzzled me, and
mot meaning that she involved me in
IAN intrigue. This Gallo secondary
meaning viii probably force itself into
our yielding Anglo-SaxOn, and we shall
have hereafter the privilege of EN-
lploying ito intrigue" in either of two
oiiHerent intents. l doubt if this will
be to the profit of the language; but
nrotest is idle, since the fate Of nov
city always depends upon its ultimate
usefulness Matthews in

RETURN AFTER MANY YEARS
TiIefish Again Caught In Vast Mum.
bers, Though They Were Believed
to Have Been Wiped Out

Tilefish are a fish with short but
remarkable history, writes a CORE
spondent. Their discovery was dra-
matte. In May, 1879, Captain Kirby
of the schooner Hutchings., out Of
Gloucester, Mass, was trawling for
cod off the Nantucket banks. No cod
was found, but large fish, unknown
to science was present In great num-
bers. In very short time 5000 pounds
of the new species were caught. The
fish proved to be of high food value
and good keeping qualities. There was
a big popular demand for them, and
huge quantities were caught for three
years. Then the supply failed as sud-
denly as it had appeared. In the
spring Of 1882 the boats failed to
catch single tilefish. A few days
later incoming boats reported having
passed through miles of dead or dying
tilefish. They covered an area of 5000
square miles, and were estimated to
number 1.0OO,0OOOOO.
rTOu IOoL 10 1919 no trace OF tile
fish was found in any waters of the
world, adds our correspondent. Scien-
tific men were convinced that the fish
had been suddenly and mysteriously
exterminated. Then, early in 1915 a
government boat, in almost the identi-
cal spot off the Nantucket banks as
that in which tilefish were first taken,
again caught some of the same species.
Again there proved to be vast num-
bers Of them, and new grounds were
also discovered along the New Jersey
coast. Since then the tiefish has been
caught without interruption, but the
riddle of its strange disappearance for
33 years has not vet been solved

WIRELESS IN THE POCKET
Small, Cheap Apparatus That Is Real.
Ss iy "a Marvel Of ingenuity,
Costs Only SIS.

It is now possible to pick up wire
less message from any of the big sta
lions within reasonable distance in
this country with the aid Of an ordin-
airy umbrella, a patent pocketbook and
a telephone. ~ '2' .c'
~ The umbrella will act as the aerial,
the p0cketbook contains miniature
receiving set, and, of course, the tele-
phone must be a high-resistance in
strument. - Il,
It has even been possible, inventors
OF the pocket receiving set say. to use
an ordinary bedstead as an aerial.
You must not expect with this sim
pie installation to get in wireless
touch with Paris, Berlin or Moscow,
but II you want the mild excitement
of picking up messages from a home
station within reasonable distance you
must follow these directions:
Take your umbrella with you and
the pocketb0ok, select nice lofty po-
sition, and having earthed one corner
Of the pocketbook-say to a water
pipe or something equally damp and
handy, hold your umbrella out at
arms length. There should also be a
telephone handy, and It would be more
convenient to use the headgear worn
by telephone operators.
Having rugged yourself out as hU-
man wireless station all you have to
do is to listen. You will be as rock
In a wireless sea with invisible waves
Of understanding running down the
stick of your umbrella.
1t is claimed for this pocket receiv-
ing set that it Is comparable in sensi,
tiveness with the most expensive and
elaborate tuner on the market.
The cost of the pocketbOok Is about
$5.-London News.

BANQUET GIVEN
TO TEACHERS
Rotarians Royalty Enter
tain at Eccles Hotel
Tuesday Evening

The Rotary club entertained the
Blackfoot teachers on Tuesday even
ing at banquet. There were
ninety-seven persons at the tables
and just about half of them were
teachers. The event was staged for
the purpose of getting the teachers
acquainted with each other, and with
the rotarians, and in the affairs Of
the town, 1t was very informal
affair, sort of go-as-you-please. In
the events that followed the refresh
ments, they told stories, sang songs
and played pranks on one another
Somebody spoke about the difference
in attire for ladies and gentlemen
and said that gentleman had some
thing less than a hundred pockets
in his clothes, while a lady's pockets
we're not so numerous, in fact, she
scarcely had any pockets at all. What
was the difference anyway? What
do men carry in their pockets? Are
their pockets built on their clothing
merely for ornaments or do they
carry some mysterious things about
with them? Following these sugges-
lions somebody proposed that they
search J. e. Estensen and see what
he had in his pockets anyway? Ac-
cordingly they felt in all his pockets
or turned them inside out and be-
sides finding a handkerchief and
bunch of keys and pocket knife
and some small coins they found
powder puff. Mr.. Estensen blushed
like school boy, but quickly re-
covered, claiming that a powder puff
was nothing to be ashamed of any
how. Somebody suggested that Pro-
fessor Blooms pockets be investi-
gated and they found about the same
array of merchandise in his pockets,
excepting the powder puff, and in
lieu of that, they found pair of
very fine lady's hose. Whether he
was intending to present them to
some teacher or not, was not dis
closed. The professor was percept-
IDLY surprised and embarrassed.
Whether he was surprised at being
searched or surprised at what was
in his pockets we are not prepared
to say.
Married Man Fresh
They searched R. G. Bills, the
chairman of the board Of county
commissioners. They rather expected
to find an air gage in his pockets
but they did not. They found let
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-09-17

ter written by some damsel down al
nixon, expressing high regard fol-
Mr.. Bills and expressing a warm
esteem besides. The letter went on
to say that she and Kate were much
interested In the date of his next
visit to nixon. When was he COM
ing down, anyway? Mr.. Bills didn't
have much to say and tried to laugh
like boy. He seemed little en-
barrassed and surprised, but soon
recovered and said,. on the side, that
it isn't SO bad to have good lady
friends anyway, that fat man isn't
generally loved much and that it is
gratifying to know that he has a
few friends.
Searching the Minister
j. d. Gillian was just back from
Methodist conference at Baker
City, Ore, and some of the fellows
were curious to know whether he
had anything on his hip. Certain
irreverent gentlemen have at times
remarked that they believed Method
list preachers kept something in their
cellars anyway, and on this occasion
they saw q good chance to find out
something. The search of Mr.. Gil
lilian's pockets had hardly started
when they pulled flask of whiskey
GU from his pocket. He didn't act
bit surprised, but plead with them
to let him have just one more drink
before they took it away from him.
Teacher-Darkey Story
A good many Of the teachers were
called upon for remarks or to tell
a story, or to sing song and re-
sponded right royalty. Indeed, it
seemed as if the teachers were doing
about half Of the entertaining.
Everybody mellowed up and acted
like lot of boys and girls getting
together in family reunion. One
of the teachers, a Miss Hickman,
who halls from Virginia, made an es-
pecially good hit by telling a darkey
story. She is most perfect imitator
of the darkey dialect and represented
the particular darkey as sitting on
the bank of the stream, fishing un-
til he went to sleep, and when he
got vigorous bite, his pole slipped
out of his hands and in the mix-up
he tumbled into the water. AS he
climbed out, he remarked that he
didn't know whether this niger was
fishing for fish or whether the fish
were fishing for this Niger She
told the story so beautifully that 1t
brought the house down. In conclu-
sion, she remarked that she didn't
know whether the rotarians were en-
PERTAINING the teachers or the teach
ers were entertaining the rotarians.
That was such a perfect application
to the situation that the house
roared with merriment. They sat
till almost midnight and everybody
went home happy.
