gigantic fishing here"
1t didn't please them. They wanted
to swim ashore or have the coastguard
take them ashore, but when Mr.. Bow
ser had caught his first fish they also
cast in their lines. It simply was good
fishing. The fish were running strong,
and they were to be caught at the
rate Of three minute. In hauling in
big one, one Of the men fell over
board, but he was rescued, and the
''unaloid" went on. Mr.. Bowser's boat
was anchored In the middle Of the
channel, and during the three hours
there five or six steamships passed up
and down. They whistled for the mo-
torbont to get out Of the way, but she
did not move. Mr.. Bowser said 1t was
for them to turn out, and they had to.
Many an epithet was hurled at the mo-

Mr.. Bowser and his friends fislled
for three hours. Then they counted
up. They had 76 fish Of good
size. The other men told Mr.. Bowser
that II he would start the boat for
home they would give him their share
Of the fish. He agreed to this and. by
sheer good luck, he got the boat started
and headed in the right direction. The
trip up the river was made without ac-
cident, but 1t was by the grace Of
Providence that she did not run into

Fight Plant Diseases.

While continual effoat is being made
to introduce promising new plants into
the United States, the various
branches Of the Department Of Agri-
culture are striving to avoid making
additions to the imported insects and
plant diseases that are already COST
ing millions Of dollars yearly. For
eign countries have listed several thou
sand insects Of troublesome kind, with
many plant diseases that are not yet
included among these immigrants.
Besides special guarantees and plant
inspections the further precaution is
being taken Of restricting the numbers
of the plants introduced and growing
for a considerable time In greenhouses
or under conditions of isolation. to
make sure that all pests have been re-
moved. After It is made certain that
the plants are thoroughly freed from
insects and diseases, they are propa-
gated more extensively, and are dis
tributed In the usual way to growers

OLD lNDlANHISTORY
A. Nee. BEEoE

With changed customs and con.
ditions, Indian women seem to
have done work that man should
do, in some instances, but, as DR..
Gilmore OF the State Historical
Museum, has we'll said, In general
there was just distribution of la
Dor between the sexes in the old
times" If, as rarely happened, a
captive women whom Sioux had
married was disrespected as a for
eigner by anyone, her husband i'm.
mediately resented and fully repsll-
ed such an attitude. as an insult to
both himself and his wife.
Owing to the hysteria of the late
war, there has been more inclina.
ton to deprsciate some foreigners
during the past four years than
i there ever was among Indians.
True and full nationalism is not
aided by disparaging persons If
other nations. No people known
to history, not even Romans, made
more systematic effort to proclaim
themselves as superior to all other
peoples, than did the Prussians for
a full generation before the war;
the old and true Germanic idea of
equality among men had become
replaced by the educational teaching
and literary claiming that the Prus-
sian was "super-man'', destined
to rule over the true Germanic PEG.
pies as we'll as all the peoples on
earth. " This idea is too clearly told
in Prussian literature to be denied.
And many of the more scholarly
Prussians regard this teaching as the
fatal and degenerative mistake of
the Prussians.

A comedy young woman came to the
door.
"You are" queried walser.
II am Mrs. Walser,"-she answered
in very sweet voice. "You have
business with my husband7"
"You are my sons wife?" shouted
the old man. "Why, I thought

And suddenly he flung his arms
about her and drew her to him and
kissed her. And ut the audible sound
Ernst came to the door, looking shah
by and thin. but with fire in his eye
and fists doubled to repel this assault
upon the ssanctity of his home. See
ing his father he halted dead.
, "Come here, my boy" cried the old
man. Its all forgotten-the clock

"Well, marry her, but from this mo-

disown you by the memory of my
father" He pointed still to the time
piece. "When that clock, which my
father made In 1888. goes wrong by us
much as ten minutes in a day, will
ask you to come back to me-" he said.
"Now got"
And Ernst went.
The old clock never varied by as
much us minute day. Its melan-
choly tick was wearing the old mans
heart away. He moaned in his misery
as he sat ut his desk. How gladly he
would have had his son back, servant
wife and all! II only he had not been
so hasty! = -
A good boy, too Ernst had always
been a good son to him. He swept
his fingers across the glass, and the
clock licked heavily in answer.
And then a wonderful thing hup-
pened. A sudden whirring sound was
heard, and the hands began racing
furiously. And then they stopped and
the old clock stood still at half past
four.
That was the precise time ut which
Ernst put on his hat and left the
house.
The old man fell back in his chair
and stared In astonishment at this
phenomenon.
Presently, when curiosity overcame
his terror, he opened the case and
peered in. And swiftly enough the
cause was revealed. Wedged tightly
into the mechanism was q clOckwOrk
mouse.
Walser drew out the. mouse and
looked at it. Years before he had
brought that mouse home for his son
Ernst, in the days when he was baby,
playing about the floor of the nursery.
The child must have placed his toy
inside the old clock and forgotten all
about it.
Walser rose up solemnly and put on
his hat. He turned to the clock and
his voice was choking with emotion.
Il know now" he said, that this is
judgment and a miracle in one"
Ten minutes later he arrived at a
dingy, shabby house, and, made, his

Among the western Sioux, and
most other Indians. captive women
were not'ill treated. They had, in
general, all the rights and privileges
Of native born women of tribe.
And by taking women as captives

breeding was largely avoided. Ev-
en- today, these Indians are perti-

place between persons that are blood
relatives, relatives even more rem tie
than are considered in statute laws
being excluded from intermarrying.
When in war the Sioux took wo-
men as ,captives, even from the
Crow Indians their bitterest ene-
mics, such women were not en-.
shaved or ill-treated. They married
men in the tribe where they were
captives if they desired to do so,
but were not forced to do so. OF
course they did nearly ALWAYS mar

known among Indians.
But if a captive women was I'm.

Sioux, she was allowed to go back
to her own people after time.
The Sioux, and some other Indians,
prided themselves on the matter of
Of using women 80 we'll that captive
