Twice II ooked Same Fish.

: A fish story is told by an Alberta
reader. While fishing in bay on
Vancouver island he. hooked a very
large spring salmon, but the line broke
and the fish. escaped with the spoon
in it's mouth. A month later, while
fishing in the same spot for fatfish,
our reader hooked a. sal-lon through
the, back as he: was pulling hissline.
The fish was landed safely, and to
his surprise he found the. same spoon
was, in it's mouth that he had lost.
The reader says he knows it was the
same spoon, as he had made it him
self, and it was very old pattern.
This remarkable fact shows that fish
do not travel Very much in summer.

Burmese courtship.

Courtship in Burma is a more open
and natural Irritation than 1t Is In
almost any other part of the East. The
young man usually manilests his in
terest at one Of the pagoda feasts by
shy attentions; he then calls in com
pany with his boy friends to find that
the young lady with a bevy OF her
friends is awaiting him. He means
business, however, and If the families
consent he persuades her to eat Il
meal with him in public, and by virtue
Of this procedure his bachelOrhood Is
brought to an abrupt end.

Letting out advertising space on the
sails Of their sloops has become Il
new source of revenue to fishermen In
the vicinity Of Long Island sound, the
New York Sun states. An ingenious
fisherman who scnsed the value of the
great white sheet of his sloop, which
sailed around the sound, passing hun
dreds of persons on shore and in
boats, was the first to offer his sail
for rent. Persons living in cottages
along the shore may gaze from their
windows and see an advertisement Of
their favorite breakfast food or coffee
gliding across the. waves. s.

TREASURY T0STUDY
WILSON PROMISES
Mr.. Mellon to Determine
Binding Effect of Ex-Presi-
ieni's Negotiations.

Secretary Mellon has stare work
on memorandum to be presented to
the Senate finance committee this
week setting forth how far the
Treasury considers itself committed
to the negotiations of the Wilson
administration with reference to the
funding of the nations loans to
Europe.
-.S Treasury is understood to take
the general position that the nego-
tiationS of fofr~ Secretaries Glass
and Houston with the representatives
or the allied governments We're mere
1y in he nature of discussions lead
ing up to a settled scheme. The
Treasury. however. is understood to
view differently the matter of the
British accumulated interest, on
which there was an understanding
for deferment for three years, or
until the spring of 1922. pending a
funding agreement involving all the
loans.
Since payment of the acG1snulated
interest on the British debt now has
been deferred for more than two
years. ii was explained. it would .ap-
pear that such an understanding was
taciUy in effect. though this govern
ment might have the right to demand
interest payments at any time.
Negotiati tons with the allied ma
tfons on the funding scheme for the
present are at a standstill. and 1t
was stated authoritatively today
that the Treasury would await the
. action of Congress in defining IT'S
powers in the matter before discus
sionS would be resumed.

From present indications Budget
Director Dawes and Public Printer
Carter have decided to reduce for

essential publications in "Uncle Sans
Big Book Store" which in recent
years has assumed the status of be-
ing the largest book store" in the
world, as it's output is supplied by
the largest printing Office on the face
of the earth.
1t seems that the public printers
have been powerless in the past to
the big print shop" without con-
gressional action, but under the pro-
visions of the budget law this can
be done.
This big store of public documents
is not a general book store, as 1t
sells the output of one publisher

Many Copies Returned.
Public Printer Ford said in 1918.
speaking of the waste of paper and
printing, and an added expense to
the government printing office: "As
an evidence of the faulty. distribution
of government publications, 229.624
scopes were returned from libraries
during the year and about nine out
OF every ten were condemned and
sold as waste paper being either OBJ
solete or in excess of demand. How
there is no relief in sight, as this dis
tribution is governed by law"
For some years this huge government
book store" occupied a seven STORY
building on G street, known as the
Chion building. in the care of super
intendent of, public documents. In re-
cent years space in the government
printing office has been provided for this

ports Of the legislative, executive. finan-

partments of the government. The re-
suits are printed for instruction and

few days ago."
The package was put in the car at
the feet Of the man and his wife, but
the latter eyed the, box suspiciously.
She had heard her husband say to one
of the men on the farm, 'Ill bring
back some dynamite" and she knew
that they intended to blow up an old
dam in the river that crossed the farm
land
whats in that box, Herbert ?" she
inquired. "Is it dynamite? ?"
"Well, what if it is ?" evasively re-

you think I'm going to ride one mile

er my feet you're making mistake.
