offers few attractions, but it Is In Just
such' a place that the city hall cus
todian has been making famous catch-
t-3. : '.;..,'. .' . ' : . . ;
The new form of fishing might still
remain U II d'.s fvered were It not
for. the act that something recently
went wrong with the supply pipe of a
large tank on the roof of the city hall
building. Investigation Bhowed that
a lake trout had tried to find Its way
j through the pipe, and dying in the at
J tempt, had stopped it. Further search
5c revealed the fact that the Jank'waa
lib full of very hungry fish. "Win a hook
C5c and line the custodian captured one
i-i u; trout 'and -e ight bass In a short time,
all of which had come through the
pipes from tM central park reservoir
some five mlhs distant.: investigation
showed a -plentiful supply of fish in
other tanks, and as a result city em
ployes are now making aerial catches
daily which , far surpass those of the
anglers who seek th-ir game under
ordinary conditions.
AERIAL FISHING A SEW PASTIME
-.. Aerial fishing la New York's latest
pastime. , This does not mean angling
for flying flab or from aeroplanes. Of
course piscatorial yarns of varying
dimensions and credibility ore plenti-
ful at this time of the year, but a new
record haB JUBt Deen"eBtablshed which
far exceeds the feat of pimple Simon
of Mother Goose fame In attempting
to catch a whale in his mother's pail.
As a , result city employes are now
making good catches on dry land a
hundred feet or more aboveMhe street
level, and are claiming the title of
aerial anglers. The man to surpass
Simple Simon's record Is the custod
ian of the city hall, who, as a result of
his, catches of trout 'and-bass on the
roofof this building has undoubtedly
achieved a life membership In the
Isaac Walton society. ' For a fishing
ground the root of a business building
La Grande fared fortunately yester
day In that no petty crime was corn-
mitted by the parasites and leeches
following lh the wake of circuses. The
ehootipg at Hilgard reflects the des
perate temperament of the hobo ele
ment and but for watchful eyes of po
lice holdups and house robberies
might have been the order of the cir
cus day. "' '- ' ''' ;-. . . -, .'

Most of the runaways are boys who
are headed toward the west, but each
year tbe stern fact is learned that the.
runaway with little money an find
only one result, a .sentence to hard
labor, In the fields where Imagination
pictures varied assortments of buffa

THE STYLE'S SO DIFFERENT

THEATRE
. "Slabsides" -A Kaleran drama.
A strong western Btory " well
acted showing the Navajoe des-'
ert and dry lake.' More than
one man has died upon - its
brink he found it was dry burn
ing sand Instead of water.
"Unto XJ a Child Is, Born" A
Selig. Drama. Strong, wdl
adted and a study In photoplay.
"Peace Offering" Vltagrapli
comedy. The story is admira
bly worked out and the situa
tions are funny enough to keep
you laughing from start to fin
.lah. It's a Vltagraph.
For this change we have two
good songs. At matinees Miss
.Stephenson will sing an illus
trated song entitled, "Maybe I'll
Come Back This . Afternoon,"
At the evening performances
the very latest song hit. "I Will
Love . You When the Stiver
Threads Are . Shining Mongst
the Gold." She will sing in the
spotlight.
The outbreak of spring runaways
in Chicago and other big cities Is
more acute this year than ever before
although (he number has been grow
ing larger year by year. One Chicago
boy wrote to the postmaster of a tqwri
In the Texas Panhandle saying? ":
"Dear Sir: Do you want to hire
any cowboys? I can ride, rope and
shoot well nough to take care of mj
self. Age,. 19. Can take another fel
low out if you say so. State wages
and when to go out."
. But the dreams of wild riding cow
boys and seven-shooters was given a
cold Bhock, for the postmaster replied,
"Let me shatter the hope that, may
hap, your young life with visions of
romance of wild rides across endless
leagues of . blossoming prairie ' of
thundering hoofs and clashing horns,
of maddened herds In midnight stam
pedes of panting horses and swish
ing lariats of redhaniled outlaws bat
tling to hold their booty In tbe granite
recesses of cliff -bordered ' gorges.
There are no fair and only daughters
of cattle kings whose rescue from
desperate bands of lowbrowed ruffians
will win for you an easy life and j
happy home. The poetry of life has
lost Its metric measure in the golden
west, and your letter came 40 years
too late to secure for you a situation
that would . adjust Its facts to your
fancies. It may surprise you, Harry,
and cause you the natural pain that
accompanies, every stern' disillusion-

b,ut it'll clear off In' a few days, I
guess."; And then dad Just Uancd

and she kicked the cat clean across
