worth Co to continue this special
half - price sale for a limited time
longer
In addition to selling a 50c bottle of
Dr Howards specific for 25c C R
Woodworth Co have so much faith in
the remedy that they will refund the
money to anyone whom it does not cure

TARPON TACTICS
Wonderful Feats Flights and Leaps of
the Silver King
Iu the big puss tarpon can best be
caught from near the bottom of the
channel and hould be tished for with
fifty feet of line and a heavy sinker
In shallow water the tarpon leaps
high in air the instant he feels the
hook but in the pass he often tights
for a minute or two before coming to
the surface More than once when I
had come to fear that my tarpon was
n shark he has suddenly shot above
the surface like a bullet from a gun
and in the first wild shake of his head
thrown hook and bait fifty feet in the
nlr and one even sent a four ounce
leaden sinker flying over my head from
nearly twice that distance Other tar
pon when struck came straight up
from the bottom one grazing our gun
wale as he rose and another leaping
over the stern of the canoe As soou
as a tarpon was tired enough to let us
pull the canoe beside him we removed
the hook from his mouth and let him
swim home to his family It happened
once that a tarpon was less tired than
we had assumed On that occasion we
swam home and he had a good man
story to tell his friends
It had been counted a poor year for
tarpon yet in fifteen consecutive days
of fishing we were fast to forty four
tarpon each of which had jumped for
us from one to twelve times is
high water mark of twelve vas
made by a tarpon which was j i nu
lated to his later efforts by the pres
ence of a pursuing shark and the
twelfth jump was a double number
There was commotion in the crimsoned
water new vigor at the other end of
my line and it was an hour later when
I finally landed ou a sand bar a shark
with an aldermanic stomach A knife
drawn across this distended organ dis
closed the tarpon in sections with the
hook still fast in his jaw and enabled
the camera man to photograph to
gether the subjects he had recently
photographed separately Although
this suark was only one uitn tue size
of our big hammerhead yet he made
but two bites of his victim
Our work at Boca Grande ended with
the red letter day of the season of all
seasons I was fishing in the pass with
fifty feet of line and the bait was di
rectly under the canoe when a tarpon
struck fiercely quickly carried away a
hundred more feet of line and then
swam so swiftly toward us that I fear
ed from the loosened line that he had
escaped Then fifty feet from the ca
noe there shot into the air a giant tar
pon measuring as we learned after
ward an even seven feet Up up up
he rose until the camera seemed to be
pointed at the zenith and before the
rattled camera man could get his aim
the silver king had turned gracefully
in the air and was plunging downward
The captain swears that he saw swing
ing clear of the water the ribbon which
marked twenty five feet on the line as
it hung plumb down from the tarpon
Once I gave my own estimate of the
height of the jump to a group of
friends and after a glance at their
grieved expressions appealed to the one
of most experience on the coast and
with the tarpon After a single mo
ment of hesitation he remarked firmly
We fishermen must stand together

When Drammers Come Easy
At the Players club in New York
one evening there was a guest from
out of town a playwright well known
for his extraordinary facility in turn
ing out the alleged drammers that
do the circuits It
is no uncommon thing for this pro
ducer to grind out five or six of his
plays annually
Some one innocently asked the play
wright if it was rather difficult to find
new ideas for his plays
Really I dont know was the frank
answer of the man who has made
thousands of dollars from his dram
mers I have never tried it New

Wooden Almanacs
An antiquary in Chicago took a curi
ously engraved block of wood from a
case
Here is an original almanac a Sax
on one he said The engraved fig
ures on it all concern the moon They
forecast the new moons and full moons
and lunar changes for the year hence
being devoted to lunar matters the
Saxon block was called an
or observation of all the moons

No answered the disgusted pas

Real Genius
That artist is a real genius re

cant be a real genius or people
wouldnt be saying so many compli
mentary things about him before he is

Superstitious Golfers
The two chief golfing superstitions
are that two up and Gve to play never
won a match and that it is unlucky to
win the first hole It is hard to say
which is the sillier of the two London
