months beyond the time ha allotted" to
her. Bhe became stationary at the time
Mr. -Budd -laid the new concrete floor In

The hen, a fins example of the Brahma

hours after ths concrete hid been put
down and sank ankle deep In the mix

"set" and ths hen was anchored. As It
was impossible to get her out. Mr. Budd
provided a seat for her. One point that

the hen was not Unpaired In the least.
Mr. Budd thinks fatty degeneration of
ths heart finally took his prlzs "stand

Ths wedding was deferred, but Bt. Charles
Is not discouraged and will try again as

Postmaster A. L. E. Green of Playa del
Ray made the strsnge discovery that a
phonograph will attract and charm fish,
reports ths Los Angeles Herald.
He has had a machine grinding out
negro melodies on the pier, and noticed
that anglers invariably made good catches
.when he kept It going and had no bites
when he shut It off.
-."The other day he had the music turned
on constantly and everybody who cast a
11ns caught fish.
"Whenever I play the song, 'In the Even
ing by the Moonlight,' scores of pampano
and sea trout are pulled In and nobody has
bad luck," said Green. "I cannot account
for It otherwise than that the music draws
the fish, and that they have favorites like
human beings. Any one doubting this can
see me demonstrate any day."

Here's Your Fish Story.
Harry E. Fcsaler of Reading, Pa., one of
the few anglers with a reputation for
veracity, reports a remarkable catch. Ha
spent some time boating In ths Manatawny
and hauled in qu(U a few sunflsh and
perch. He was about to quit for ths day
when he felt a terrific tug at his line.
Fessler tried to pull the line out of ths
water, but could not. The boat was pulled
sbout in spite of his efforts to land his
catch.
Finally, after hs had almost been hauled
overboard and had been pulled up and
down stream, Fessler managed to wrap ths
line around the rudder. Then, taking art
oar, he crept upon his catch. To his amaze
ment he found two large bass hooked on
his line. Hitting them with the oar, hs
finally managed to subdue them and hauled
them In the boat. Both were beauties. Ths
one measured twer.ty-two and one-half
Inches and the other eighteen Inches in
length. Besides the bass, ha landed fifty
six sunflsh. V.
