Gigs" after the manner of the Goldfish, are
hooked about theNaW or in the belly.
As soon as a fisherman feels a fish on his
hook he catches up blight of the line with
his scoop and another below this with his
reel, and thus reels up the line on these two
sticks in loose coils until the fish 10 brought
10 the surface. when skilful toss throws
him of the barbless hook on the ice, where
he gives one cOnvulsye flap and instantly
freezes solid. The elastic whalebone line
is thrown of the sticks without tangling
and paid out through the hole again for
another trial. IL fish are not found plenty
at the first hole, the fisherman SHIFTS his
ground until he "strikes a school" They
are sometimes SO plenty that they may be
caught as fast as they can be hauled up.
One woman will bring in upward OF a
bushel of little fish--they are generally about
five or six inches long-from single days
fishing. This fishing lasts until the middle
Of May, when the ice begins TO soften. A
good many are also caught along the shore
in November in about foot OF water, when
there are no tide cracks in the ice. Al this
season the EsquimauX use little rod about
two feet long, with a short line and little
ivory squid, at which the fish bite.

A Noted Old Negro.

General" Fluker, an old negro, en-
ployed in Bingham's job printing ONCE, on
Oglethorpe street, Brunswick, Ga, has
lived for the greater part OF century, and
his life has, indeed, been very eventfnl one.
The old darkey is native African, and
SAYS that he was captured on that contin
by slave traders when be was but seventeen
years old, and brought TO this country in the
hold OF slave ship, In company with
great many other blacks. who were sold in
Virginia In the early part Of the nineteenth
century 40 slaves.
The old man has vivid recollection Of
the appearance OF the slave ship as IL landed
on the shores Of his native land, and the
wonder and CONSERVATION IL caused among
the natives. He says they fed at its APP
proach like so many frightened deer at the
intrusion OF man In their native wllds,
and stood peering from behind trees ana
other hiding places In terrined wonder al
the great winged monster OF the deep.
OF course it was not difficult among such
hest OF savages for the slavers 70 capture
a. many natives as they wished for their
cargo. He said that when he recovered
from the terror which had been caused by
the capture, claiming and loading OF the
captive slaves, he was far from the familiar
scenes and sounds OF bis native shores, and
that when he saw the light again 1t was in
the presence OF vast crowd Of white men
and American slaves on the shores or the
new world.
When he landed he was sold TO Mr.. Ed
ward Cook In Norfolk, Va.
He was put to work on the plantation OF
this gentleman, and remained the property

The Association has been negotiating for

Major Burke I'm Exile.


Major f. A. Burke, the defaslting State
Treasurer of Louisiana, appears TO be happy
and moderately prosperous in his Central
American home.
From time to time we have seen in print
reports TO the effect that the Major was in
hard luck and in bad health. These re-
ports, however, made their appearance at
time when the Louisiana authorities were
considering ways and means TO kidnap the
ex-Treasurer and bring him to justice.
Later, when the fugitive felt more confident,
he made himself prominent in defending
President Bogran during the recent revolt
at Tegucigalpa. At last accounts the Major
was fOurishing. He lives like a prince
with Bogran, and is said 10 be the richest
man in Honduras. He is the Presidents
right-hand man and adviser, and is yir-
tuaily the controlling power in the Repub-
lie.
Whether Burke Is living on the fortune
he carried with him, or whether he is make
ing money, is not definitely known. He
claims that he looks 10 the future for his
profits, and promises, when lie has accu-
INFLATED enough, 10 return 10 New Orleans
and pay his debt to the state with six per
cent, interest. it 10 not likely that the
Louisianians feel much confidence in his
promise. Many years ago man named
Meiggs, in San Francisco, became involved,
like Burke, in various defalcations. He
fed the country, aud went TO Peru,
where he made himself a millionaire.
lie was famous az railroad cen
tractor and as developer. The
indictments against him in san Francisco
were dismissed, but he would neither re-
turn nor square up his Indebtedness. He
died in South America, and a monument
WAS raised to commemorate his name.
Burke will probably be less successful than
heiggs, but he will follow mis- example and
remain in perpetual exile. A man Of his
proud and sensitive nature will never vol
unfairly return TO live among people
whose authorities would now send him to
the penitentiary If they cauld capture him.
Still there are few who wish the man any
personal harm. II he can in any way re-
deem himself in Honduras, by all means
let him go ahead and do it.-Atlanta Con-
stitution.

Stories of Georgia solons.

Here are some stories told about members
Of the Georgia Legislature;
When one Of them introduced bill on the
first day, and the Speaker asked "shall this
bill be committed or engr0ssedY' he replied,
being somewhat at loss, 'Jes let it stay
thar awhile, Mr.. Speaker"
They tell me that another brother missed
the roll-call one morning, and In dire dis
tress went 10 Governor Northern, hum bly,
petitioning him to be reinstated. One Of
them asked another for chew Of tobacco.
''l'll return the favor some time" said he.
"NO, you needn't return it," said the other
"rm making 81 day and don't mind the
expense"
Another one went down TO Bob Harde-
mans Office TO know how much salary he
could draw. "0h,r said the treasurer, II
guess you can get all you want" WELL"
said the legislator, 81 need some mony Tor
myself, and the old woman needs some, and

of the family until Lee surrendered his
sword at AppOmattOx, and the negroes
were freed.
When he first arrived in Virginia he was
unable to speak word OF English, and
was compelled to express himself by signs
and gestures TO his fellow-slayes and labor
ers on the farm, as well as to his master.
IL was not long, however, before he be-
came very much attached 10 bis master
and his masters family, and rose rapidly
in their favor by reason OF his faithful work
and general good behavior.
When war was declared with Great Bril-
tain in 1912, the General" became mis-
masters body servant. and attended him
faithfully until that war was ended. lie al
toward served his master in the capacity Of
body servant through one Of the Indian
wars, and then when his master was called
TO the front in the war Of the COnfederacy
he went with him into the hrst battle of
Manassas, and cooked his last meal before
the surrender at AppOmattox.
After the war the old darkey came South,
and has always met with the same good
will and confidence from the white people
that he mertted from his master during
slavery. and has always been held high IN
their esteem.
He was married the eleventh time sun
day, and has thirty-eight children, who are
scattered from Virginia to California. He
forgot when first questioned as TO the num-
Der OF times he had been married, and said
he had actually lost count Of them. The
number eleven was finally settled upon,
however, as an approximation at least.
"GeneraP' FluKer is celebrated in Bruins
wick for the enormous quantities OF food
which he has eaten here on several occa-
sions. He says he once ate quarter OF
beef, several lOaves Of bread. and several
dozen pies within two hours time.
The old man is hale, hearty, and active
even yet, and works hard every day as
pressman at Bingham's printing otfice.-
