MARTHA TUFT !
GREW RESCUED
MEN OF SEATTLE LUMBER SCHOONER
EN ROUTE WITH GUGGENHEIM LUM
BER ARE PICKED UP
(By United Press.)
Seattle, Oct. 14? The steamer schoon
er Martha Tuft, which was wrecked at
the mouth of the Cat&lla river during
a severe storm on October 5th and
whose crew was saved by clinging to
the rigging, is reported as having been 1
picked up and taken to Catalla by the
schooner Henry. The Martha Tuft 1
was en route from Seattle to Catalla
\
with lumber for the Guggenheim*. |
One of th?- strangest of under water
battles was wituessed recently by B.
Radford, the champion bam fisherman
of eastern Pennsylvania. The trouble
Btarted in Red run, a stream that flows I
Into Devil's pool, a favorite haunt of
the black bass.
Red run Is filled with crawfish. Rad
ford noticed that the fish were leap
ing about in an unupuul manner. Look
tog closer, he saw the reason. An
army of crawfish was attacking the
achool of bass, driving them frantic by
nipping at their trails.
Of a sudden the fish all darted away
In the direction of Devil's pool, J>ud
for a few seconds everything was
quiet. Then the water was lashed to a
foam, and dead crawfish flew in every
lUrectlon. When Kadford looked again
he saw a magnificent eleven pound
bass rise slowly to the surface and
lorn over on its side. Scuttling down
the stream were a dozen or so sur
?lvors of the crawfish army, most of
them minus their fighting claws.

I Tilt well dressed man wears clothes

except In the very wannest weather,
usually dark. Xo one ever notices
clean linen, while linen soiled ever so
slightly is very conspicuous. No one
ever notices a hat unless it. is of ultra
shape, dirty or shabby. Xo one ever
notices shoes unless they are loud or
need blacking or are run down at the
heels or shabby. Xo one ever notices
clean linger nails, while those needing
attention are always conspicuous. The
man should not bo lost sight of by the
conspicuonsness of his clothes, either
from being overdressed or shabbily
dressed.? Batten's Wedge.

Oliver Wendell Ilolmes once sent two
poetical letters to the "posteffiee" of an
Episcopal fair at Plttslield, Mass. In
one of them tiio first stanza was:
Fair lady, whosoever tliou art.
Turn this poor leaf With tondere3t care
And hush, oh. hush, thy beating heart.
The One thou lovest will be thero.
On turning the "poor leaf" there was
found a dolkfr bill, with some verses
beginning:
Fair fctdy, lift thine eyes and tsil
If this Is not a truthful letter.
This is the one (1) thou lovoth wctl,
And naught (0) can make thee love tt
