bored In the plankIng. The hsh Dit quite
eagerly. and several were pulled through
the holes and laid on the Wharl wlthln

ers. turning to o companion. saia
The oueeresr way to catch fish that
ever saw was on the African cohst. where
the natives do 1t by proxy,
:" How il that ?" inquired the other.
"Didn't YOU never hear Of it; no! Well,
ri tell YOU. One day we We're cruising

canoes two or three miles of our lee bow.
II took tine glass, and after looking IA
moment said they were either fishing or
catching boobies. Making boobies do
their fishing, guess chimed III the second
mate. | had heard about the natives
making use Of these stupid birds for such
n purpose. but had never seen 1t; so | mo-
fioned TO the man at the wheel To keep the
shin away. and we ran down toward the
canoes. II was lovely day. and we had
inst light breeze from the northward and
westward. with "a sea a. smooth a. mill-
pond. We were soon near enough to see
the fishing operation distinctly.
There was flock OF boobies lowering
around, and once in a while one OF them
would dart into the water and seize fish.
As soon as he got to the surface he would
GIVE II toss in the air, and ~ it came
down catch il IN his open bill. IL would
then be part way down his throat, with half
the BODY aud the tail sticking out. If lert
alone the bird would gradually work 1t
down his gullet and dispose of it, but
this he WA not permitted TO do. The mo-
ment he appeared on the top IF the water
one of the canoes was alongside and the
poor BOBBY was seized and dragged on
board. One of the negroes would catch
him bv tine throat, and, applying pressure.
compel him to dlsgorge his prey. when he
was Mt once released with the request

The natives had been quite successtul,
as each OF the canoes WAS well loaded with
fish. After a while made signs 10 them

bushel of the fish. giving them ten-pound
chunk of salt horse IN return. The tsh
we're mostly sea bass, weighing four or five
pounds apiece, with few pike among

In republic there should be no politics
in the birth Of baby, though its parents
reside or have lived in the Executive Man
-ion. There is no throne or place for he
reditary rulers here. and therefore the adj
won't Of baby in the home Of Grover
Cleveland is IA matter of pleasing interest
to the admirers of his young wife who
stand in the ranks of both parties.
The relative ages of Baby Cleveland and
Baby Mckee make possible tn lights OF

In the shelters, and 81. 900 persons had
been accommodated under Salvation
army roofs, Of whom 23s had been con-
vcrted. Last month permanent situa-
tions were found for ninety OF them.
In the quarter just ended the number
Of applications TO the labor bureau was
i,i71, and employment was found for
926. In tho labor factory 800 men and
30 women are already employed;
farm had been purchased. on which
work would be commenced immediate.
ly, and match factory would bs
started In u day or two. where ninety
women would find employment at real.
ly decent wages. With respect to the
matches, his only fear was that the
output would not be sufficient for tho
demand. In which case thcy might bs
called the Darkest England lIghts."
In the Rescue homes 100 poor women
were now leading virtuous lives. and
laundry had been bought for sixty Of
them. Many other items OF the work

OF iaboring men. These people lost every.
thing, barely escaping with their lives
aud scaht covering for thcir backs. Hum
drcds OF animals were seen In the river
floating past Cherokee Wednesday, the
horses still tied to fragments OF their
wrecked barns. Hundreds of chickens
hogs and cattle followed each other Mt in-

The Illinois Central is also heavy
loser. Superintendent GIL says that

pushed further than hve miles on tho
south branch and the north Is still inac-
eessible. The Central has force OF 200
men at work at tho bridge nt Cherokee,
and with no bad luck temporary bridge

bridges on country roads from Cherokee
to Storm Lake are gone. and Cherokee is
only accessible By water.
