No child will be ignorant who can be taught to appreciate the home paper. It is the stepping stone of intelligence in all matters not to be learned in books. Give your chil- dren a foreign paper which contains mnot one word about any person, place or thing which they ever saw or per- haps ever heard of and how can you expect them to be interested But let them have the home paper and read of persons whom they met and places with which they are fam- iliar, and soon an interest is awak- ened which increases with every weekly arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed. The Pioneet publishes Tamarack news each week.

St. Louis, Mo., May 16.—How a youth managed to play the dual role of a respectable young man by day| and a daring burglar at night is ex- bected to be revealed in the eircuit court here next week, when Samuel A. Cheatham is placed on trial for the murder of George Wurzburger. Ar- rangements have been made to begin the trial Monday. The murder of Wurzburger, who was a clerk in a well known pawn shop, occurred in the office of the establishment on the night of January 31st last. The crime evidently was the deed of a thief, as watches and money aggre- gating $2,000 were stolen. The find- ing of a pair o fsleeve buttons led the police to suspect Cheatham, whose mysterious disappearance from his lodging place had puzzled a large circle of friends, who believed him to be a young man of respectability and possessed of means. At the time of his disappearance he was supposed to be engaged to marry an estimable young woman. Cheatham was traced throug hthe south and thence to New York, but it was not until his return to this city that he was arrested. He is said to have admitted his guilt, but later entered a plea of not guilty. Morton Eighty-eight Years 01d, Washington, D. C., May 16—Form- er Vice-president Levi P. Morton, who now makes Washington his per- manent place of winter residence, quictly celebrated his eighty-eight birtnday anniversary today. Though the serious illness which he experi- enced about a year ago left him slightly enfeebled in body the form- er vice-president is as alert mentally as most men of half his age and he continues to take a keen interest in politics, finance and all public ques- tions of the day. It is not without iaterest to note that Mr. Morton has aviained a greater age than any oth- er man who ever held the vice-presi- dency with the single exception of the first vice-president, John Adams, who died in his ninetieth year. Shellfish Commissioners Meet. Boston, Mass., May 16.—Delegates from nearly a score of states border- ing the Atlantic and the Gulf were present here today at the opening of the annual convention of the Nation- al Association of Shellfish Commis- sioners. Addresses dealing with the scientific culture of oyster, lobsiers, and various other phases of the shell- fish industry were presented by Dr. Julius Nelson of the New Jersey 2gri- cultural experiment station, Prof. E P. Gorham of Brown University, Frederick L. Perry of Connecticut, and others. Following the adjourn- ment of the convention Saturday the delegates will go to Gloucester and later will visit the fisheries of Rhode Island and Connecticut. Presbyterian Assembly Under Way. Louisville, Ky., May 16.—Prompt- lysat 11 o’clock today the retiring moderator, Rev. John F. Carson of Brooklyn, dropped the gavel calling to order the 124th annual session of the general assembly of the Presby- terian church in America. Nearly the entire body of commissioners, number 868 and their alternates of equal number, together with many interested spectators, filled the spac- ious auditorium of the Warren Mem- orial church to listen to the farewell sermon of the retiring moderator. To Photograph Savages. New York, May 16—A new explor- ing expedition to the upper Amazon will leave New York early in Septem- ber for a three years’ trip. The party is under the direction of the Univer- J sity of Pennsylvania and is led by Professor Algot Lange. One of its chief errands will be to obtain moving pictures of the sav- ages—there are about three hundred and seventy three tribes of whom civ- ilized men know next to nothing—. and to make phonographic records of their speech and music.

TAKES IT UP WITH POWERS Capture of Fishing 8macks by Wan ships . During - 8panigh-American War Costs Uncle 8am Large 8um for Indemnity. i BY GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—It was a “fish bil” #hich caused congress to pass a joint resolution to direct the president to; an endeavor to bring about an under- standing among the - great powers, which would result in incorporating ini the permanent law the principles of, exemption of all ‘private property at from capture unless it were/ own to be contraband of war. Nowadays with The Hague tribunal In occasional operation and with at- tempts being made for general arbi- tration treaties the efforts of the government are toward eliminating from the fleld of spollation private property whether at sea or on land. Un- der an agreement which it 1s thought has been given the effect of interna- tlonal law unfortified cities on the sea coasts hereafter are to be immune from bombardment. Various other ar- rangements have been made looking to the introduction of “the humanities Into warfare.” It has been said that it was a fish bill which led to agitation of the ques- tion of the exemption from seizure of private property at sea in time of war. Doubtless it was a pure accldent in the matter of date line circum- stance, but it was on the last day of one Lenten season that the attorney general sent to congress a huge fresh fish bill which was promptly referred to the committee on appropriations. This fish bill or rather collection: of fish bills was simply a list of judg- ments rendered against the United States by the Supreme court. Pald by Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam paid for eleven boatloads of fresh fish, simply because the huge navy which he collected in the West Indian watera-thought for the first month or two that the chief end and alm of its guns was to seize Spanish fishing smacks and their loads of smelts and other things finny. If the fish had been pickled, smoked or salted it would not have been so bad for Uncle Sam, or so good for the Spanfard, but on the day of thelr capture the fish were very fresh. The day thereafter they were less so, the third day the American saftors con- voying the prizes had strong smelling suspicions, the fourth day the smell needed another word beginning with an “s” to do it justice, and on the fifth day the fish went overboard. ‘The Spanfards were good fishermen. Jullan Bengochea and Francisco Gon- zales, in a 10 by 12 smack, the Poder de Dios, had $1,425.74 worth of fish, for which Uncle Sam paid, besides glv- ing $4,000 for injury to the olfactory nerves and to the feelings of Jullan and Francisco. Every one of the elev- en smacks when captured was loaded to the gunwales with fish. Nothing like the hauls that these Spaniards made has been known in either sacred or profane fishing history since that day twenty centuries ago when ‘the nets did break with the burden of the catch.” The claimants got from Uncle Sam’s purse about $5,000 each. There are eleven Spanjards who are firm be- Hevers in fisherman’s luck. Most Pecullar Cage. .. The committee on claims some time ago asked the house to allow a great fireworks company which was séeking to recover money from the govern- ment to take its case before the court of claims. -The _newspapers of the time contained much of the matter, but there were some things which es- caped public attention. The case itself 15 one of the most peculiar -which ever called for con- gressional action. The plaintiff fire- works_ company bought hundreds of thousands of what it supposed to be blank cartriiges from the navy de- partment. The company gave a spec- tacular reproduction at Columbus, O., of the fight at San Juan Hill, Cuba. The cartridges’ purchased from the governmernt were used on a mimie firing line, which proved to be ter- ribly real. At the first round of the volley fir- ing two spectators fell dead in the grand stand' geats and half a dozen others were made subjeots for the hos- pital. The ammunition used with such fatal Tesults is known in army and navy ciroles as the “gallery cartridges.” The claim of the fireworks company, supported, as it was, by an accident that roused the country, created in- terest and comment and a little indig- nation in‘the house. Members began another what “gallery re, and because no one seemed to know they turned to their war-like brothers of the naval and military committees for light. *They didn’t get it. Not one of the men who have a volce in reporting appro- priations for millions of dollars’ worth of material for the army and navy and who talked wisely about the. need of this and that bit of equip- ment, knew anything about the ammu- nitfon in ‘question, and this in facs of the fagt that it has been used for years in thé:twin services, and will | continue to: be used as long it s Decessary (o make men accurate . marksmen. ;The gallery cartridge is ‘ons with a Hght charge, used for close sh £ WOVED B Fish B DICTIONARY MAKERS AT FAULT Soms 'Notable Blunders, With: phantine Efforts at Wit, Have Been Put on Record. Dr. Johnson perpetrated many jokes in his dictionary, but among his most famous blunders was his definition of “pastern” as “the knee of a horse.” The dictionary makers often took pccasion to make their definitions hit their enemies. Wesley defined “Meth- odist” as “one that liveth according to the method laid down in the Bible.” Dr. Johnson defined oats as “a grain ‘which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.” He defined “pensioner” a8 “a slave of state, hired by a sti- pend to obey his master,” which defi- nition ‘'was made much of by the doc- tor's enemies when he himself was awarded a pension. Balley’s dictionary defined the Lo- riot or Golden Oriole as “a bird that, beling looked upon by one who has the yellow jaundice, cures the person and dies himself.” Fenning, who was the next dictlonary maker, was afraid of this, and merely said “Loriot, a kind of bird.” But one of the best bits of misinformation was given in the dic- tionary of Edward Philips, who in one place declared that “a gallon is a measure containing two quarts” and in another place declared “a quaver 18 a measure of time in music, being the half of a crochet, as a crochet is the half of a quaver,” which leaves the subject as clear as mud. SALVAGE SHOT FROM THE SEA Seamen on English Coast Earn Money by Selling Old Projectiles to the Admiraity. Shot picking is the “art” of retriev- Ing shot and shell from the bottom of the sea. In order to practice this Ele-| in possession of & boat, plerity of cour: Age and a license. 5 ‘Target practice is carried on almost every day -at Portsmouth, Fngland, and the admiralty are willing to pay & good price for shells which are re- covered from sand banks and shallow water. . Shot pickers go out to sea in boats, ‘watch the firing intently while it s in progress, and then, as goon as the last shot has settled in the water, dis- perse in various directfons In order to discover the shells. These. are-located by means of a long line weighted with lead, which has a small buoy fixed at one end. This end is thrown overboard, and the boat 15 rowed slowly in a semicircle. The welghted line drags over the sand beneath the water and catches against any shell that is projecting above the sand. A thin, firm pole s then lowered, so that it makes a clean line from the shot to the side of the boat, and, while this is held in place by one man, a pick is thrust down by another to draw the projecting shot from the sand bepeath the water. The Drunken Parliament. There was a Scotch parliament once which would not have cast a sec- ond glance at' the Temperance (Scotch) bill which has just made its third appearance in the house of com- mons. The first parllament which met in Scotland after the restoration of Charles II. had not the least hank- erings after temperance.reform. It acquired the name of “the drunken parliament,” in fact, and lived up to Its reputation. Scott in his “Tales of a- Grandfather” gives evidence: “When the Scottish parliament met the members were in many instances under the influence of wine, and they were more than once obliged to ad- journ because the royal commissioner (Middleton) was too intoxicated to be. profession nowadays & man must be have properly in the chair.” Depar Classified unenf The Pioneer Want Ads OASH WITH GOPY 14 cent per word per issue 15 cents. 80 your want ad gets to them all.
