Evans Meets Old
Friend He Hasn't
Seen in rs Years

Fortytwo years ago in the old
Nj. l. and N depot in Centerville
a group of young railroad men
were sitting about the Office. II
was in the days Of the old pin and
link couplings when brakeman
went In between the cars to make
coupling and did not know
whether he would come out with
all or his fingers or not.
One of the group made the re-
mark he would not lose his little
finger for $1,000. Dick Evans, an
other of the group, remarked that
he might lose it for nothing. The
next Cay at Glenwood, Mayhem,
the man with the thousand dollar
fingers, came out from between
cars with mashed thumb.
One day this week, Dick Evans,
city health officer. saw a man
standing on the corner Of Seventh
and Main streets.
LET me see your hand" was
Dicks greeting. The stranger
held up his hand. There was a
fiat thumb much in evidence.
Hello. Arthur Mayhem" was
Evans reply.
They had not met in forty
years, but they made up for lost
time in a regular old time re.
uion.

More Fish Along; Texas Coast Than
 in Many Years

Austin. Tex, May 15.-Returning
 from an inspection trip along the
 coastal bays, extending from Mata-
 gorda to Aransas Pass. J. E. Jeffer-
 son. state game. fish and oyster com-
 missioner, reported that indications are that there are more fish in Texas
 bays than in number of years. He
 attributes this great increase to two causes: First. the fish had received
 very little protection during the war on account of the board of food con- trol setting aside fish protective laws. but a year ago this nullification Of
 state laws was withdrawn and fish received full protection from the fish commissioner, which protection was
 augmented by the destruction of all fishermen's boats and tackle during ] the storm last September. Thus the ] fish were allowed to spawn and grow unmolested. Second. the recent storm
 has made many new cuts through the islands, which afford additional pas.
