Straggle with a Salmon. '
i tr oirin nt record breaking
I landlocked salmon, weighing four
I at I teen oounda and thirteen ounoea.
by Edward .Hyde- of Bath, Me.,
waa the feature of a week of
excellent fishing, relates the New York Sun.
The fish waa not only a record breaker ,
for the lake, but tha largest ever taken In
northern Maine Inland waters, Rangeley'a
best la a fourteen pounder, taken about
1807, and a thirteen and half pounder,
secured two years ago.
Mr. Hyde atarted out at 4 a. m. to da a
little trolling and to whet his appetite for
tha breakfast which he proposed to catch.
He paddled oft opposite his private camp
alone in a canoe. He 'had barely got the
trolling line out Its length when tha strike
came, and It was not many seconds before
It was apparent that there was a big fish
at the other end
A few minutes later the big fish went
Into tha air, fifty yards away,' and for a
full hour from that time Mr. Hyde simply
held on. Time and again the salmon left
tha water In savage, determined leaps, but
tha tsckle held fast and a taut Una kept
the fish moving.
Then the pa' began to tell and twenty
minutes later the salmon waa brought near
enough to tha canoe to give the angler,
heart palpitation. He was prepnred to see
, a big fish, but not the monster that was
fighting thirty feet away. Ten minutes
mors of battle and tha task of landing
began. .
At first Mr. Hyde thought of the landing
net, but ha soon saw that this would be
useless. Then the possibility of shooting
the flsl) presented Itself,, but was discarded,
and finally, as a last resort, Mr. Hyde tired
tha fish by forced rushes and then made
for the sloping, sandy shore, grasped the
Una. dropped tha rod. dragged the fish Into
the shallow water of tha beach and fell
upon It bodily. .
Two hours had elapsed since tha 'strike
and the final victory and tha struggle had
also called for about alt the strength tho
angler possessed. The salmon was thirty
four Inches long and was seen by a number
of visitors as It hung In state on the cabin
door, where, unfortunately. It was allowed
to remain too long before steps were taken
for Us permanent preservation.
Swimmer Attacked by Sturgeon.
A wild panlo was created among a crowd
of boys who were swimming In the Alle
gheny river, off tha Patterson coal fleet, at
the Pittsburg end of the Sixth street brldgo.
by the appearance among them of on Im
mense fish, which was afterward discovered
to p a sturgeon. There was a mad scram
ble among tha lads for7 places of safety,
but tha fish was In a fihtlhg humor and re
fused to allow them to escape.
All of tha beys finally succeeded In get--ting
back on tha coal float with the ex
ception of William Wlederselnv aged 10
years of Allegheny.
' Just as ha waa about to pull himself on
to tha coal float the big fish sunk Its teeth
Into tha calf of tha lad's tight leg. Tha
boy was rapidly being dragged down under
tha water again when his screams brought
Jacob Miller, the watchman of the coal
fleet. Miller seised the boy's srin and then
picked up a base ball bat which waa lying
on the floor. With the bat ha beat tha fish
over the head, but even after life waa ex
tinct In tha body of the big fish It. still
hung on to tha boy's leg. Its Jaws had to
be pried apart before the boy waa released.
The lad waa taken home, where a phy
sician was called to dreas the wounds.
The fish measured almost six feet in
length and weighed ninety-eight pounds.
furiously and the light rod she was using
bent nearly double and almost broke.
Prof. Van Ness hurried to his wife's
sssistance and between them they managed
to bring to the surface a take trout which,
the professor says, was two feet long.
The big fish gave up the struggle very sud
denly and floated on the surface of the
water as If dead. Much pleased. Mrs. Van
Ness gave the line a slight pull to get the
fish aahore. Then, gaspjng as though in a
death struggle, tha big fish opened Its
mouth and out came a smaller fish firmly
attached to the hook. Tha small fish was
limp and nearly dead, and when hauled
ashore measured eight Inches. The big
fish, relieved of Its burden, gave a snap of
Us tall and disappeared beneath the sur
face. O
Professor Telia Owe.
A fish story Is related by Prof. Myron
J. Van Ness, principal of the Lake Placid
(N. Y.) High school. According to the
professor he went with Mrs. Van Ness
the other afternoon fishing In the Cascade
lakes, which are owned by the club of
which Governor Hlgglns is a member.' They
fished along the shore and he met with or
dinary luck. Mrs. Van N,ess, though get"
ttng maw bites, was unable to land her
fish.. At the next bite she allowed the fish
plenty of time to take the hook. When
she attempted to . land It the fish fought

Devil Flan Steals Boat.
Captain John A. Brackenrldge of Austin,
Texas, spent a month fishing at , Tarpon
and tells a fish story which he says can
be vouched for.
"Al Leach, a railroad engineer on the In
ternational & Great Northern," he said,
"was sitting In his boat which was an
chored near the Tarpon jetties, fishing for
mackerel. I and a number of others oc
cupied gasoline launches possibly ten yards
away from Mr. Leach's owboat,
"Suddenly we heard a cry of alarm, and
looking up, we say Mr. Leach and his boat
moving slowly out to sea. As we watched
the speed of the boat seemed to increase
and we started the launches, three of them.
In pursuit of the rowboat, which continued
to move rapidly. We put on all the power
of which tha launches were capable, but
could not gain on the boat.
"We pursued the rowboat for possibly
half an hour, barely holding our own dur
ing the entire chase. All of a sudden a cry
came from the rear launch, and turning
we saw a sight the like of which never
greeted my eyes before. A huge devilfish
swam slowly to the surface; his long arms
and huge body seemed to cover a space the
slae of a house. The monster only allowed
himself to be aeen for a moment, and soon
disappeared under . the water.
"Finally with a swlsb It came to the sur
face. It waa the biggest thing I ever saw
In the nature of a sea monster. It was a
huge devilfish and had the anchor of Mr.
Leach's boat In Its mouth.
"One of the men in the launch had a har
poon, which he threw with all bis strength
at the devilfish and struck It In the back.
The pain from the harpoon caused It to re
lease the anchor. 'A quick flirt of the body,
the harpoon snapped and the fish disap
peared beneath the surface.
Ketersiaa'i Tnseel with Alltarater,
' H. C Eaeterllng, a motormaa on the In
terurbaa electric line connecting Bt. Peters
burg and Veteran City. Fla., bad an ex
citing experience while en route to Veteran
City, says the Atlanta Constitution. East
erllng saw an alligator about ten feet long
lying In a puddle by the side of the track
and stopped the ear to see If be could not
catch the big saurian. Easterltng Is fresh'
from a long term In the United States
army in, Alaska, and did not know much
about 'gat ore, so he walked right up to the
gator and 1 took hold of him around the
tuck. The people on the car then had a
spectacle of a regular catch -as -catch-can
wrestling match between a monster reptile
and an athletle young man. , The mud flew
In all directions and the twe rolled about
In the water, the 'gator snapping Ms huge
Jaws, but the young man managed to hold
them away from him.
, Finally they separated and the 'gator
started to make away (or the woods, but
Easterllng's blood was up and he was de
termined to catch the prise. He grasped
an empty barrel lying near and succeeded
in getting the monster's head In It, and
ropes were then speedily fastened about
him and he was hoisted aboard the car and
brought to town and placed In a local boo.
He did not seem to like his surroundings,
however, and started to commit suicide by
eating himself up, beginning on bis taU,
but he was prevented from doing himself
any Injury and now Is a star feature of the
too. Easterltng declares that he got,
enough of wrestling with such an antago
nist and does not want any more of it.

Angler and Haass Pish.
Two 4 remarkable angling stories come
from Durrus, in Cork county, Ireland,
vouched for by the Cork County Eagle, one
relating to the attempt made to land a
police constable by means of a salmon Ash
ing rod, and the other to the strange ex
perience which befell Dr. Orr, a Huddea
fleld, surgeon, in the same plsce.
Dr. Lewis, the' medical officer of Dur
rus, undertook to land any swimmer In
the river In fifteen minutes, and Constable
Kennedy, a noted swimming champion, con
sented to act the "fish." A belt wss fast
ened across the constable's shoulders and
to this wss attached a strong salmon hook.
A lan oe wood rod and the ordinary salmon
Ashing line were used. The human fish
took the water at high tide and with a bold
stroke swam out ten yards. At this dis
tance Dr. Lewis checked the constable's
progress, and then the fish dived and
turned on his back, but without avail.
For two minutes tt was an even contest
between tha angler and fish, then the con
stable swam away for twenty yards, when
he was again brought up. He dived and
wriggled like an eel. but not another Inch
could he add to his advantage. After
eleven minutes' struggle the angler was
galninc ground, but Constable Kepnedy
gathered strength, and diving, made away
with a powerful stroke. At the fourteenth
minute, when only one minute remained,,
the salmon Une snapped and the fish was
declared the victor. (
More remarkable still was the Incident
which followed. Dr. Orr of Huddesfleld
was fly-fishing In the river when the pony
which brought him from Dunbeacon broke
loose from where it waa tied and fell Into
deep water with the trap attached. The
pony made frantic efforts to swim ashore,
but was hampered by the weight of tha
trap.
Dr. Orr, the narrative goes on, was fish
ing at the opposite aide of the stream and
he threw hla Una toward tha pony. By a
fortunate chance the fishing hook caught
the pony in the ear and held fast. Tha
angler pulled bla line and the pony re
sponded, with the result thst both pony
and trap were safely landed on the shore.

Cj$l tended a rehearsal, at which a

two of the actresses as to the possession of
the center of the stage during a certain
scene. While the manager poured oil upon
the troubled waters Jefferson sat carelessly
swinging his feet from the rail of an ad-.
Joining box. The friend could stand It no
longer.
"Good Lord, Jefferson," he exclaimed,
"this will ruin your play. Why don't you
settle matters? Tou could If you only
would."
Jefferson shook his head gravely, but with
a twinkle In hla eye. "No. George." he re

Professor on Profanity.
Prof. Felton of Harvard was a very im
pulsive man, though of great dignity and
propriety in his general bearing. He had
some theories of his own about correct
English, and waa very much disgusted If
anybody transgressed them.
His brother, John Felton, of the class of
18, afterward the foremost lawyer on the
Pacific coast, was altogether the most bril
liant scholar in his class. Ha was reported
to the faculty just before his graduation
for the offense of swearing In the college
yard, an offense which was punished by
what waa called a public admonition. The
faculty. In consideration of his excellent
scholarship, instead of the ordinary pun
ishment, directed that Prof. Felton should
admonish his brother In private.
The professor waa some eighteen or
twenty years the elder, and waa respected
by his brother rather as a father than as
a brother. He called John to his study,
and told him the nature of the complaint
and proceeded:
"I cannot tell you how mortified I am
that my brother. In whose character and
scholarship L had taken so much pride.
John said, with grot contrition: 'jI am
exceedingly sorry. It was under circum
stances of great provocation. I have never
been guilty of such a thing before. I never
In my life have been addicted to p rotary
Ity."
"Damnation, John," Interposed the pro
fessor, "how often have I told you the
word Is profaneness and not profanity!"
It Is perhaps needless to say that the
sermon ended at that point. Boston Herald.
Wfty She Is Called Miss"
A teacher In one of the Indian schools
relates the following Incident of an Indian
'boy's quick thought. He had asked the
meaning of the word "miss."
"To miss," I told him, "Is the same as to
fall. Tou shoot at a bird or at a mark, and
do not hit It you miss it. Tou go to a
tailor for a coat, and your coat fits badly
It Is a misfit. Tou hope to enter the
middle 'class next year, but you cannot
pass the examinations, and so you miss the
promotion."
His face wore a pussled air and he shook
his head.
"Then." said I, "there Is another meaning
of 'miss.' We called a married woman
'madam,' but an unmarried woman 'miss.'
His face brightened. Then he smiled and
nodded: i
"Ah. r seel" said he. 'he miss the
man." 1
