British Fishern7 =, Keep
Tally by Quo mt Method

Even in such a mat er-of-fact affair
as keeping count Of Quantities, quaint
survivals of ancient, primitive meth
DDS are still to be experienced In out
of-the-way places, writes Dyke life
in the London Daily Mail.
At q west coast fishing village the
other day 1 saw the fish salesman auc-
ton the various catches as per sample
in a bucket and the oilskin-clad crews
begin to discharge the herring. Be
side the boxes on the pier, into which
the fish were being emptied, stood one
of the crew of each boat. In one hand
he held a small piece of wood-a bit Of
barrel hoop-and in the other an open
pocket knife.
AS each basket was hoisted onto the
quay he cut with his knife a little
notch In his piece Of barrel hoop.
When five baskets of fish had been
landed he cut a deeper notch right
across the hoop, and shouted to his
comrades, who were standing almost
thigh-deep among the glittering her
ring in the hold, TALLY" which was
repeated by the men on board the boat.

Chinese Behind Times

Chinese adoption of American Gull
ture is speeding up, but the Far East
Is not yet fast enough to keep up to
date with American styles, says the
New York Sun. Knee-length dresses
were all the "go" in Hongkong or Pc
king few months ago, when calendars
in Chinese characters were printed
there for distribution in this country.
The calendars now occupying promi-
nent places behind the counters IN
some of Brooklyn's very best Chinese
laundries show Chinese women parad-
ing through ship salons in 1920 Ameri-
can clothes. The main figure depicts
a hice-looking brunette looking over her
shoulder and going away toward the
back of the picture as If to show to
best advantage her short blue skirt and
long black stockings. 1t surely would
shock staid old mandarin, and some
Americans.

After georgette comes crepe de chine
as a fabric for these elaborate types
of the negligee, in the same colors and
made up in much the same way. This
season there are fine wool crepes, also
in flower-like colors but not so much
adorned. They are graceful with flow
ing sleeves, and edges finished with
crochet work in silk. The same silk
provides small tassels that punctuate
long lines by furnishing a finish for
narrow girdles or pointed sleeves.

Of the Burbank place Howard Bolton
emerged therefrom and, entering the

was to lead him to the spot where
Carrie was to meet him. He had
not been to his office since early In the
day; he had been too busy making ar
engagements TO ab6uct the girl of his
heart and cajoling an old aunt of his
to act as chaperon until the parson
had pronounced the Hateful words.
Stealthily he approached the little rus
tic summerhouse. A tall, manly form
confronted him and a booming voice
said: "That you, Bolton? Fine night,

Come right up to the house. l told
Carrie the first thing when / got home

Carrie when she and Howard were

he had seen the light or there woul
have been an elopement-told him ali
about it. And he laughed and said
we were giddy young things and he
had only been joking about not letting
us marry"
Howard found out the reason for
Mr.. Burbank's change Of heart when
he reached his Office next morning.
News had come the previous afternoon
of the ratification of the Argentine
contract, and old Burbank had heard
of it

Burmese Make Festival
of "CrotDning" Pagodo

Messing curious festival not so long
ago at Mandalay, the chief town OF
Burma. A new pagoda dedicated to
the Buddhist religion was to be COM
pleted by the placing of huge crown,
or thi, upon its summit, more than
$50 feet above the ground.
To observe the ceremony came Bud
dhists from Indo-China, from the
Himalayas, from Laos and Chan and
Siam. Warriors from Katschin, sor-
cerers from Mot and people from
other places made a medley Of Ian
guages like that at Babel. On street
corner would be seen a dentist pull
Ing a customers tooth. On another
corner a Mohammedan bird dealer sold
paroquets to Buddhists, who piously
set them free. At very modern booths
one could buy ice cream, soda or tea
Mandalay was a gorgeous spectacle
and the new pagoda was the center
Of it.
Every pagoda has at its summit
thi, or cap, the placing of which Is
often a herculean task. The one now
to be raised weighed several thou
sand pounds and consisted Of a gilded
ball and a great spindle above it.
To get it to the top an inclined
plane of bamboo scaffolding like a
huge toboggan slide had been built,
and was decorated with silk flags and
umbrellas. Six days were required
for the ascent and a seventh to fasten
it in place.

GUN W|ELDER IS
HIMSELF VICTIM
FACING SENTENCE IN BUTTE
PULLS GUN IN COURT ROOM
CAUSING PANIC
First Shot Fired Point Blank at Fed
eral Prohibition Officers; Gun
man May Die From
Wound

Butte, Mont.-When called upon by
Judge Pray in federal court to stand
up for sentence after conviction on
liquor charge, John O'Leary drew
two revolvers and fired twelve shots
in the crowded courtroom. He open
ed fire in the direction of four feder-
al prohibition officers, who were on
one of the seats for spectators. N. E.
Baynham, one of these officers
dropped to the floor and made a fly
ing tackle, throwing OLeary dow1
while he was still shooting. Eleven
shots were fired without hitting any
one, and the twelfth inflicted s
wound in OLeary's head, which may
be fatal, according to attending ply
sicians, who say part of the bullet
lodged in the brain.
More than 100 persons were in
the court room at the time and a
panic ensued. Judge Pray remained
calmly on the bench, though one of
the bullets, apparently DETECTED from
the ceiling fell to the floor in front
Of his desk. The first bullet fired
left mark on the marble wall about
six inches above the heads of the or
ficers, who were in the line Of fire.
The other shots went wild while
OLeary was struggling with Officers
Baynham and Earl Koehler. Bayn-
hams fact was black with powder
when the Struggle was over
'OLeary came to the federal build
ing in rented automobile, which he
ordered to wait for him, indicating,
according to the officers, that he
planned to escape after the shooting
for which he had prepared by buying
ammunition on the way.
1t is the theory of the officers that
O'Leary was accidentally shot while
scuffling with the officers, whose
action had prevented his taking de-
liberate aim after the first shot.
Notes found in OLeary's room
when it was searched indicated he
had planned the fusillade. To Judge
Pray he wrote: 81 have no hard
feelings against you. Your instruc-
tons to the jury were more than
fair. Today will try to clean up the
docket for you"
The other note he had written and
eft in his room was addressed to his
mother, who is now in Los Angeles.

SICK HEADACHE

Missouri Lady Says She Was
Miserable With Constipa-
ton and Sick Headache
Until She Used
Black-Draught.

Forbes, Mo-. have used Black
Draught, when needed, for the past
twenty-five years." recently said Mrs.
Emma Grimes. who lives in "Green
Valley Farm" near here, "and it has
given perfect satisfaction.
Il began taxing it for bad case of
constipation. l would get constipated
and feel just miserable-sluggish. tired.
with bad taste in my mouth. l
didn't feel like doing anything and soon
my head would begin hurting and i
would have a severe sick headache.
Il don't know who started me 70
taking Black-Draught. but it did the
work. 1t just seemed TO cleanse the
liver. Very soon felt like new.
When l found Black-Draught so easy
to take and easy acting, began using
it in time and would not have sick
headaches.
Il can recommend Black-Draught
very highly for liver trouble, head
ache or constipation"
Constipation leads to great deal of
sickness among those who neglect to
treat it without delay. The poisons
which constipation forces your blood
to re-absorb may cause great pain
and much danger to your general
health.
Keep Thedford's Black-Draught in
the house and use it promptly for re-
lief at the first sign of constipation.

incumbent, with two-fifths of the vote
in, was trailing former Governor
Charles S. Deneen by $1,000 votes.
The hottest contest in the. primary
was for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination, and Governor Len Small.
who had been bitterly opposed by At
torney General Il. j. Brundage, hand
lily won the nomination for another
term by defeating State Senator +. u.
Essington and carrying most of his
supporters for other state offices
through to victory. Among the small
adherents apparently nominated was
o. f. Carlstrom, who in partial re-
turns was leading Brundage by 1000
votes. Senator McCormick's failure
to take the lead over Deneen was
ascribed By political leaders to his
support of the Brundage fight against
Governor Small.
In the Democratic gubernatorial
race, Norman Jones had a comfort
able lead over Lee O'Neil Browne, who
advocated modification of the Volstead
act.
Long Ballots Delay Count.
So long was the ballot that tabula-
ton had not reached congressional
aspirants for many hours after the
polls closed. except that meager figures
indicated the success of Richard Yates
and Henry Rathbone, incumbents, as
congressman at large.
In 1920 precincts of 2260 in Cook
county Chicago Coolidge had 135,IS1
votes to Johnson's 134,O75, while in
$40 downstate precincts the President
polled 57,766 to the Californian's
42,472, giving Coolidge lead of II 900
in those precincts.
Charges of trading were made by
supporters of the Brundage- McCor-
mick Essington faction, but Governor
Small, in a statement, declared that
his nomination for a second term was
due to the better Judgment of the cleo
torate over the vicious attacks that
had been made on his administration,
including his arrest and trial on an
indictment charging misuse of state
interest money.
Three fourths of Cook county's 1900
precincts gave Small 15o,27S to Es-
sington's 141,5 93. while one-third of
the downstate polling places gave the
governor 126.022 to his opponents
100. 903. On that ratio Smalls victory
would amount to $4,000 majority over
Essington.
