A New Fish Story

Folks, here is an absolutely new
story: The other evening, while we
were camping for the night over on
the Boise river, we got into CONVEX
sation with a fisherman who was
about to try his luck. In the con-
versation he stated that he didn't
care a helIuva lot for trout fishing,
but preferred angling with bobber
for perch and catfish. He also relat-
ed that at his boyhood home the kids
used to fish in pond which was fed
by some cold springs. They were
after bullheads and perch, but a kind
OF fish which they called suckers
bothered around their hooks. And,
by ling! what do you think? When
he came West he discovered that
what the kids had been calling suck
ers were nothing but trout!
Oh, yes, folks; this Teller had some
liver and preserved minnows for
bait.
A Topeka paper recounts the har-
rowing story of couple of young
ladies who attended a dance one
evening and the next day We're af-
flicted with chiggers.

TARIFF TOO SLOW
At Present Rate It Will Pass On Sept. 20, 1916, is McCumber's Estimate.

Washington, May 5.--An estimate that at the present rate the pending tariff bill would be passed on Septem- Der 29, 1946, was given to the senate by Senator McCumber, North Dakota, republican, in charge of the measure. HA said an expert had based his cal culation on the fact that just two of the 2,000 odd committee amend ments to the measure had been act ed on in thirteen days.
 Asserting that the tariff bill had not been discussed for e-nfth of the time it had been before the sen ate, Senator McCumber declared:
 We have all gone off on eXtran- eous matters. Unless we get down to the bill itself, I'll tell you what will happen. You will get tired of hearing your own voices and before you have considered one-third of the bill you will be ready to swallow all of it''
 Senator Curtis, Kansas, republican, suggested night sessions beginning next Monday, saying he thought this would improve the situation. Sena- tor McCumber admitted night sessions might become necessary but ne thought if the senate would get down to work, meeting from II a. m. to 6 D. m., the measure could be passed in a reasonable time.

TAILOR OUTWITS
 W0ULD.BE ROBBER
WveStS Gun From ASsailant and Holds Him for Police

New York. May 5.--Daniel Enison, 55 years old, was pressing clothes in his tailoring establishment at 200 West Twenty-fourth Street shortly after o'clock last night when man, who later said he was Charles Gam ble, 20 years old, of Fair Oak street, San Francisco. entered.
 Good evening"" was the tailor's greeting. What can I do for your"
 You can throw up your hands and keep them up until leave this place." replied the visitor. as he drew a pis- tol from his coat pocket and held it at Enison's head.
 Enison later told the police that just then he noticed two men peering through the door from the sidewalk and suspected that they were con- federates of the hoid-up man. He obeyed the mans command, but told the youth that there was no need for welcome to anything of value he cared to take.
 | This statement assured the robber that he would meet with no resistance, and he lowered his pistol foot or more as Enison started toward him. When within two feet of the visitor, however, the tailor suddenly brought both hands down on the robbers arms and threw him to the floor.
 Then the men rolled up and down, Enison trying all the time to get hold of the weapon. Eventually he man. aged to knock it out of the robbers hand, and. despite. his age, adminis- tered good drubbing to the fellow. ] Two girls who were passing heard 1 the tailor's cries for the police while the struggle was in progress. They l hurried around to Policeman Krahn who was regulating traffic at Seventh avenue and Twenty-t third street. The policeman jumped onto an automobile and got to the tailor's shop to find Enison holding down his captive with his foot and his neck. Krahn ar- rested the fellow and examining the pistol found it was empty
 At the West Thirtieth street station Gamble said that he arrived in this city few days ago and admitted that the two men that the tailor saw in front of his place were confederates who were to go to his assistance in the event the tailor put up fight They ran away, however, at the be- l ginning of the fight. Gamble was 1 locked up on charges of robbery aid carrying a pistol.
