know something about Mr.. William
Jewhillikens Florence. 1t sounds highly
sensational. not to say disveracious, so tc
speak, to talk about an so pound salmon.
and especially so for Florence TO talk
about it, but l was there when that fish
was received and / saw il weighed, an6
I'm sucker if it d dn't weigh exactly sc
pounds. 1t was beauty, too; firm and
hard and every way up to standard, only
thought as an expert in ichthyologic
and pIscatorial matters that il weighed
little 'uppards' fer its length and girth.
But good firm fish meat is heavy for its
weight, don't you know. Everybody in
the crowd saw it weighed just as l did
and of course everybody went around
telling the story to everybody else about
Florence's fish. Some Washington
friends of Billy's saw it, too, aud they
helped in circulating the story and Flor
ence stock jumped away up. Well, the
fish was taken away to be cleaned, and
the next. day it occurred TO me for some
reason to go and see the man who did the
cleaning. He was an honest colored
man, and when l asked him about tile fish
he grinned all over. 'Da's de funnies'
fish / ebber seen in all my bawn days, boss,

the darkey lugged it in and it was heavy

took out dipper full for closer exami-
nation, the darky assisting, and not being
able to discover what it was, had it
washed. That settled it. 1t was bird
shot, very fine, and by actual weight on
the scales there was just so pounds and
10 ounces of it in the bucket, and Flor
ence had loaded the salmon with it, He
must have rammed it down with the
ramrod, but it was there, and there was
no denying it. AT the same time, con-
tinued the gentleman after a gloomy
silence had lowered over the crowd for a
minute, "a 80 pound salmon is not such
bad catch"

Ths cadl,. wonarou. w,.aom.

Many years ago there lived in an east.
ern land man who was prominent and
thought to be rich. When he died, how
ever, it was found his possessions were
very slight indeed. In his will, among
some trifiing legacies, was the following:
"Of the three young men who consider
themselves my children, have Just
claim to one alone. The others are not OF
my blood, but adopted. will not saw
who the rightful heir is, but have left the
matter to the decision of the cadi. In hie
possession is 900 pieces of gold, which
will be given to my true child after he
has proved his claim"
The three reputed SONS at once re.
paired to the cadi. He thereupon handed
each of them gold ring, saying:
"Take this ring and go about in the
world and seek your fortunes. Use tho
jewel as talisman, watch over it, pre-.
serve it, and after three years return ta
me. / will then announce who is the
true son of his father, and deliver to him
the thousand pieces of gold"
The boys at once withdrew and disap-
peared in different directions amid the
crowded haunts of men. They never
crossed each others path nor heard OF
one another, but at the appointed time
again made their appearance before the
cadi for veal or woe.
Where is your ring?" he asked of the
first and eldest.
The gold band was handed to the Judge
with the remark:
1T is here. 1t has brought me luck.
have had good worldly fortune, and all
goes well with me.
Then the second was questioned.
Here is my ring" He opened his
cloak and showed it, bound around his
neck by silk ribbon. Fortune has fol.
lowed my every footstep. 1t has been q
continual blessing"
at last the cadi turned to the young.

The boy was silent. A blush stole over
his face and his eyes fell to the earth
Then, after struggle, he managed to
say:

The cadi, handing him over the thou.

BIue Bl ooded ArIstOcrnts I'm the sWIF al
Comey Island.


The most aristocratic of Coney Islands
many visitors, the first to come and the
last to go, are the blue blooded racers
from the Gravesend stables. There can
be no doubt of their pretensions to noble
ancestry, and their fame is known to all
the world. These distinguished visitors
inaugurate the bathing season and give
an air of life and vivacity to the beaches
long before summer fairly comes.
$50 soak your feet, they are told, and
instead of taking the suggestion as an in
suit, as human aristocrats would take it,
they wade out into the breakers and seem
to enjoy softening their hoofs.
The best time TO see the race horses
bathe is between 5 and 9 o'clock. They
come trooping down to the beach in all
sorts of picturesque costumes. Some are
swathed from head to tail in blanket suits
of gigantic plaids or gaudy reds and yell
lows. Others affect low cut busters of
modest colors, and few come stripped,
with nothing on but their light shoes.
The beauties step daintily down to the
very edge of the water, and then, like
fashionable human bathers, they hesi-
tate. The waves look cold and wet. Sir
Knight rises, as if to leap the ocean, and
tl,e plunges in with great splutter and
splash that vets the bare legs of the col
ored boy IN his back. He churns the wa
ter into foam about him and whirls sud.
denly, az il for a true start. My Lady
goes in, step at time, and draws back
coyly from each threatening wave. She
knows better than to plunge, and is
coaxed, not driven. If she is only timid
she hangs her head and shivers, with the
feet al bunched up beneath her. If she
is very brave she goes out into deep wa
ter and turns her tail to the combers.
1t is great sport for the crowd in the
pavilion when the water is full of horses.
The spectators applaud when groom, in
Gritc of his shouting and yanking, is car
ried out upon dry land, and if a rider
rets bucketful of water in his face they
howl with delight. When the bath is
over and the wet clothes are stripped off
the flyers roll and wallow in the dry
sand. They shake themselves, leap play
fully to the end Of their bride reins, and
roll again. Twenty roll at once, and
when they spring up they send the sand
flying in every direction. They are ath-
ietes, every one of them, and as graceful
rs kittens in their horse play. When
they are finally ridden off to the stables
they don't need bracer to keep them
from catching cold.

Would BE AnnihiIated by the Quick
Firing Arm, OF These Days.

A military writ r in the NineteeRth
Century says: Magazine and machine
guns would seem to sound the knell
of possible employment of cavalry in
battle No matter low dislocated are the
infantry ridden at SO long as they are not
quite demoralizeo, however ruse the
cavalry leader, wever favorable TO
sudden unexpected onslaught is the
ground-the quick firing arms of the
future must apparently stall off the most
enterprising horsemen. Probably If the
writer were arguing the point with Ger
man, the famous experiences of Won
Bredow might be adduced in bar of this
contention. In the combat of Tobits-
chau, in 1866, von Bredow led his cuiras-
sier regiment straight at three Austrian
batteries in action, captured the Is guns
and everything belonging to them, with
the loss to himself of but 10 men and
eight horses. 1t is true, says the honest
official account, that the ground favored
the charged, and tnat the shells fired by
the unusually skilled Austrian gunners
few high. But during the last 100yards
grape was substituted for shell, and
Bredow deserved all the credit he got.
Still stronger against my argument was
Bredow's memorable work at Mars la
Tour, when, at the head of six squadrons,
he charged across 900 yards of open
plain, rode over and through two separate
lines of French inf ntry, carried line of
cannon numbering nine batteries, rode
1000 yards further into the very heart
OF the French army, and came back with
a loss of not quite one-half of his strength.
The Todtenritt, as the Germans call it,
was wonderful exploit, second Bala-
klava charge, and bloodier one, and
there was this distinction, that it had
purpose, and that that purpose was ac-
chieved. For Bredow's charge in effect
wrecked France. 1t arrested the French
advance, which would else have swept
Alvensleben aside, and to its timely effect
is traceable the sequence Of events that
ended in the capitulation of Metz.
The fact that although from the begin
ming of his charge until he struck the
front of the first French infantry line,
Won Bredow took the rifle fire of whole
French division, yet did not lose above
so men, has been a notable weapon in the
hands Of those who argue that good cav
airy can charge home on mistaken in
fantry.
But never more will French infantry
shoot from the hip as Lafont's conscripts
at Mars la Tour shot in the vague direction
of Bredow's squadrons. French cavalry
never got within yards of German in
fantry even in loose order, and the mag
azine or repeating rifle, held reasonably
straight, will stop the most thrusting
cavalry that ever heard the charge"
sound.
