ONLY A RIVER WHITEHSH.
Story of Man Who Knew Fish When
He Saw Them, Also a Bail
road “Ad.”
William 0. Harris, angling ed
itor of Outing, and rightly called'
the Izaak Walton of America, is a
man who can come pretty near to
telling exactly what fish you will
find in Blank brook, in Blank
township of Blank county, Idaho,
Texas or Rhode Island. New’ fish
es and new facts about them, he
loves as a miser loves gold, only
lie does not hoard them, but gath
ers them to give out again.
One day Harris chanced to be in
St. Paul. He was talking with
General Passenger Agent Charley
Fee, who said Harris should go to
Montana to catch grayling in a
stream at that time much adver«
tised.
Harris said there were no gray
ling in the stream. The railroad
man laughed at him as a New’
Yorker who pretended to know
more about a certain Montana
river than a man who had fished it.
The dispute waxed warm. Har
ris was due in New York on - a
certain day, and by taking the first
train west he could have six hours
on the stream and still keep his en
gagement. In 36 hours he was on
the stream with a local represen
tative of the railroad. He waded
in, made one cast, and w’as fast to
a silvery thing that tore about
mightily like that of a grayling.
v i j ii. _ __x <-V»a 1 Ann 1
11 Calllu iu iuc -
representative of the railroad
fairly shouted:
“There, there; it’s a grayling”’
“Pack this carefully in moss,”
said Harris. “Send it to your gen
eral passenger agent.” Then he
walked to the telegraph office and
wired that official:
“Am sending one of your gray
ling. It’s an infernal old river
whitefish.”
Then he took the train for New i
York and kept his engagement.
A MAN AND HIS SHOES.
The Thicker the Soles He Wears th<
Larger the City from Which
He Hails.
“You can almost tell ijrora
what country a man comes by the
weight of his shoes,” said J. W.
Davy, of Chicago, who represents
a shoe company, to a Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter. “You might
not believe it,” he continued, “but
the thicker the soles of his shoes
the larger the city from which he
comes. In New York it is almost
a fad, and the soles f the shoes
there are exceedingly heavy.
They are almost as heavy in Chica
go. Men there wear shoes to pro
tect their feet. They have not
time enough, it seems, to bother
with rubbers. So they make one
pair of shoes do the work for all
kinds of weather. Here in Mil
waukee and in other cities of this
size, I notice, the men wear light
shoes and rubbers. I suppose
they have time enough to wear the
overshoes. Up in the country 1

boots are not worn at all for sev

wear heavy socks and then put
rubber overshoes over these.”
German “Sunday Schools.”
In England the term “Sunday
school” has a definite meaning,
and is exclusively used to denote
a place of religious teaching. lu
Germany, however, the race for
commercial supremacy has led t«
the establishment of Sunday
schools at which mechanics art
given practical instruction is
their trades. There is, for exam
pie, a school for masons, at which
the students, many of them me
clianics who work during the
week, spend several hours on Sun
day morning in learning the high
er branches of their craft. Sim
ilarlv there are Sunday schools fo»
tailors, ironmongers, bookbind
ers, and followers of other trades
—even barbers and blacksmiths.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser’s
Subjects at Present Residing in
South America.
German migration to South
^America, and especially to some
of the southern states of Brazil,
is periodically a cause of com
ment and concefn to some who
think they see therein a sinister
scheme of imperial conquest.
For two or three strong reasons,
saj’s the New York Tribune, such
fears seem to u3 to be not well
founded. One such reason is i
that the number of Germans in
Brazil is not, after all, ominous
ly large. The total population of ,
Brazil, according to the census
of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later
census returns are available, but
careful estimates now place the
total at more than 17,000,000, of
which number less than 3,000,000
are Indians and negroes, leaving
certainly more than 14,000,000
whites. Of these, in 1901, only
2,700,000 were immigrants, and
of the latter number only 300,000
were Germans.
The latest and highest esti
mate of the number of Germans
in Brazil is only 450,000, or a lit
tle over three per cent, of the
whole. Really, we canncft'regard
tjiat as a dangerous percentage.
Nor does it represent the largest
foreign element, by any means.
Portuguese immigrants into Bra
•1 _ A _ • _ _ _ __J
/Jll die l YY itc as UUJLUCI VUO, auu
Italians three times as numer
ous, as the Germans. Nor yet
are these Germans so massed in
certain states as to form a ma
jority of their population, as
some have imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Rio
Grande do Sul, where there are
200,000 of them, but the whole
population of the state is 900,000,
so that the Germans are less
than one-fourth. In Santa Catha
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
total of 300,000, or one-third,
the largest proportion in any
state. In Parana they are 47,000
in 280,000, and in Sao Paulo 30,
000 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed out as ominous
that these Germans continue to
use their own language, to pub
lish newspapers in German and
to demand the official use of that
language in courts and schools.
Well, the same may be said of j
Germans in New York, and in
Milwaukee, and in many other
parts of the United States.
The conquest which Germany
hopes for in Brazil is riot polit
ical, but commercial. The profit
she looks for in this migration of
her subjects is to be found in in
creased commerce. In that Ger
many reckons shrewdly. Every i
shipload of Germans landed in
Brazil creates a demand for
many shiploads of German man-1
ufactured goods. Every so-called
German colony in Brazil means
a market for German trade.
Upon this feature of the case too
much stress cannot easily be laid.
Provisions from Trees.
There is a tree which grows in
Sumatra, Algeria and China which
is known as the vegetable tallow
tree. From its fruit large quanti
ties of oil and tallow are extract
ed, and the fruit is gathered in
November or December, when all
the leaves have fallen. Excellent
candles are made from the berries
of a tree which grows in some
parts of South Africa and the
Azores. At Sierra Leone is found
the cream fruit tree, the fruit of
which is very agreeable in taste.
In Ceylon there is the breadfruit
tree, from which a food is made in
the same way that we make bread.
It is said to be equally good and nu
tritious. In South America we
find the milk tree.—Philadelphia
Ledger.

Curious Incident.
A man on Twenty-third street
furnished much amusement to a
number of people on a recent
windy afternoon by a predicament
he fell into, or rather that fell
onto him. A large gunny sack
dropped from the roof of one of
the buildings, and, as it descend
ed, filled with air, coming down
with mouth wide open, like a bal
loon. It struck the unfortunate
man squarely over the head, cov
ering him completely down be
low the shoulders, and pinioning
his arms so that he had difficulty
in extricating himself. He strug
gled as if he thought he was'being
kidnaped until he managecLto get
the sack off his head.—N. y Post
