FISHING IS BETTER THAN
BANKING, WALTONS DECIDE

FORT PIERCE, Fla, Feb. 12.-
Fishing beats banking and is far
safer than poker playing, accord

hook and line-and the catch ran
from / ,060 pounds to 1850 pounds,

Lack Of Coal curtails Dancing
Causes Early Closing.
Night life in Berlin was dealt hard
blow through the recent police regu-
lation prohibiting public dancing, and
requiring all cafes to close at II p. m.
Many Of the dance halls still keep
open, and have tried to provide substi-
tutes for cabaret performances. but
the would-be merry.makers sit listless-
~ about and seem to show no interest
except when the orchestras strike up
dance music. Then they wiggle their
shoulders, yawn and move sadly into
the dimly-lighted streets at II O'clock.
Until the Ruhr occupation and the
threatened shortage Of fuel. cafes were
permitted to remain open until
o'clock. That made it possible for
theater crowds to visit the dance halls
and cafes after the theater perform
ances. But now this Is impossible. as
most Of the theaters begin their pro-
gram at 80 or 8.
Walters organizations are endeav.
oring to have the theaters open at
$3.50, so that the crowds may visit
the cafes after the performance and
thus prevent thousands Of walters and
other cafe employees from losing their

LUCK WAS WITH SMALL BOY
Hounsstsr Landed Veteran Trout
Whore Experienced Fishermen Had
Met With Dire Failure.

Some queer elements Of chance enter
into the question of fishing. In the
long run the cleverest and best
equipped fisherman will no doubt fare
best, but the latest and most ex-
pensive tackle may once in a while be
beaten by some most primitive con-
trivance. II the latter happens to be
at the right place in exactly the right
moment.
A famous one-eyed trout met with
q most sudden fate after, by fair
means and foul, he had been fished
for from his youth until his old age.
when he had attained the weight Of
seven pounds and was grisly about the
head and shoulders, which Is equal in
his relation to life to being gray
headed"
Veteran fishermen, who had strug-
gled with mighty salmon in the North
west, accomplished fy-fishers who
could fool the timid trout when their
comrades never moved fish," &C
knowledged that this old chap was too
cunning for them. Young men, reck.
less Of expense. wrote to the city for
costly tackle With which to land the
old fellow. Some men tried to take
advantage Of the old trout's physical
infirmities and endeavored to get him
on his blind side.
One day a cry was heard. Work
men dropped their tools and hurried to
the bridge over the stream wherein
the old trout was accustomed to dis
port himself. Excited people were
met. Fastening to the town. A small
boy, with a couple Of yards of coarse
Irvine, a great rusty hook, beam
stick and a piece of beef, had ap-
preached the popular idol in the one
unguarded moment Of long and hon.
orable life and with flendish whoop
had hauled him to the bank.

FIND BURIED MOUND BUILDER
Excavators Find Skeletons Believed to
Date From 500 A. D.

Exeavators Find Skeletons Believed to
Date From 500 A. D.
A burial ground of what Is pro-
nounced to be an ancient group of
mound builders has been unearthed
directly across the river from Albany,
Oregon, by Clyde Peacock, a farmer,
while plowing field.
So far, ID skulls, all well preserved,
have been unearthed. There were
mortars and pesties With nearly ev-
cry skull.
J. G. Crawford, local authority on
prehistoric specimens, holds the theory
that the skeletons were buried shortly
after 500 A. d. because, he said, at
about that time q Buddhist priest Wis
tied this coast and after returning to
China to get more missionaries came
back and taught the jewellers here.
After this visit by the Buddhists, Mr..
Crawford says. pestles and mortars
were buried with their dead by mound
builders.
Upon examining some Of the best
specimens Of bones, Mr.. Crawford de.
clared that the race had been one Of
great size and strength.

While foes of Christ have come and

I've seen successive heresies
Flame up with brazen shout;
I've seen aggressive heresies
Explode and flicker out,
They find their way straight back to

And all is well, and all is we'll.
Along this heightened lifetime,
I've seen intolerance die,
Gods Churches growing closer
In Christian unity,
Each h0noring the Faith Of others,
And join in Gospel zeal like brothers.
But now who says I'm Ninety?
The Family Bible burned,
Just when came into the world,
How have these fellows learned:
For legal proof there now is none
That l am over twenty-one.
Alas for these rash speakers,
You'd think they all were tight
To tell such awful whoppers

But then this Banquet-Oh my Oh
Perhaps I'd better leave it so.
Our Verbrycke chased his Betty,
With Cupid's bow and halter,
With bushes reddening like the rose
And led her to the altar,
And stole my Natal Day away
To make it his own wedding Day.
And now upon the borders,
With lights along the sky,
Reviewing all the f1eeting past,
fondly testify,
I owe the radiance of my life

there was no heading 'em off.
A shower came up at the close of

ORGANIZE FOR COMING cHAU
TAUQUA.

Ii the ehautauqua meeting held un-
der tie auspices of the Commercial
Club bt Nezperce Hotel luncheon
last Hriday evening is any criterion,'
the cdming Chautauqua session, June
1918, twill prove the most successful
of recfnt years, at least so far as pa
tronage goes.
About 40 citizens were in attend
ance and the spirit was fine. After
the gathering had enjoyed good din
ner, provided by Landlord Farrar and
his assistants, President Buckley an
nounced the purpose of the meeting
and introduced Frank A. Mitchell,
committee organizer for the Ellison
White Chautauqua System who drew
interest TO his subject with a descrip-
ton of his work and then gave brief
outline of the program we are to have,
with i character sketch of the talent.
Following his address, the Chautau-
qua committee, or those present of the
So leading citizens who compose it,
proceeded to effect an organization by
the election of S. l.. Shoemaker, presi
dent; W. r. Emerson, vice president;
Leo Robertson, secretary; A. A. Hun
ter, treasurer. w. p. Conger, York
Herren and c. J. Miller were appoint
ed the advertising committee. The
appointment of ticketbselling COM
mittee and ways and means of selling
the tickets was then discussed, and il
was finally agreed that this matter
should he left for President Shoemak-
er to take care of later.
Keen interest was taken in the en-
tire proceeding, and the promise by
the Chautauqua representative that
this year, s program would surpass any
given--and the reasons why-make
the success of the coming event almost
certainty. When Nezperee decides
to, she does, you know.
Mr.. Shoemaker and his co-workers
are now arranging plans for the tick
ct sales, and these will probably in
clude an auto tour, with the American
Legion Band accompaniment, to
neighbor communities.
Following the Chautauqua meeting
short session of the Commercial Club
was held, at which arrangements were
made to take care of Nezperce s share
of the 1000 44-page pamphlets furn-
ished at cost by the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co. giving in good detail the
resources Of the ten northern counties.
1t is understood that Winchester,
Craigmont and Reubens will take and
distribute the remainder of these 1000
pamphlets, Kamiah having spoken
some time ago for $50 of them.
