The Only Way Out.

Down on the eastern coast, where the
British province of Nova Scotia juts cut
into the Atlantic, that king of game
fishes, the salmon, is captured by a
method which your true angler consid-
ers very unsportsmanlil<e. A long net,
knit from fine, strong Irvine, is run out
from point or l,eadland distance of
several hundred feet The end of the
net is Topped SO as to form large
pouch, in which the only opening is a
narrow passage, where the end over
laps the side of the pouch for several
feet Buoyed by blocks of wood, and
anchored firmly by heavy weights,
the fish trap is ready for business
Swimming with the tide comes q
lordly salmon, the most active and wary
of the inny tribes. Lazily floating, oc-
casionally lunching on some small fry,
he is at once the emblem of security
and freedom. Suddenly he stops. His
progress is barred by curiously meshed
his watery path. He will GO around it,
and SO he turns toward the shore. Soon
he finds the water getting shallow, and
still that barrier is before him. He
swims out to sea again, keeping close
to the net. Presently he sees narrow
opening through which he can easily
pass. The next moment he finds he is
entirely surrounded by netting In
vain he swims furiously around, or leaps
out of the water in the attempt to get
over the net The way by which he
entered is still open, and were he but
wise enough to do so, he has only to go
out But the overlapping nets confuse
him. so angry and desperate he rushes
mad,y at the opening IN the net; the
mesIes yield slightly, and there, firmly
fastened by the gills, he remains until
hooked up by the fsherman's GAIT and
thrown into boat
THE farmers of this country have
been slowly but surely meshing them
selves in net of class legislation.
Special privileges to monopolies have
been readily granted by legislatures
elected by the plundered producers
At last it would seem that the people
are awakening to the fact that If they
are poor, il is simply because they have
been robbed But instead Of turning
enslaved them, the farmers, seeking the
shortest way out, blindly and stupidity
hasten to enact more class legislation
So we find them to-day fighting for
not freedom for ali, but special privi-
Ieges for themselves. Will they learn
wisdom from the failures Of tho past?
Who knows?
The salmon still tries to escape by
going through the net

THE CADET PASSED IN.
How House DOOrkeeper Was Over
whelmed by u Naval Academy Youth.

How House DOOrkeeper Was Over
whelmcd by u Naval Academy Youth.
The self-importance which comes to many
of the cadets at the Naval Academy when
they first don the blue uniform, with its
gold lacing, is illustrated by an occurrence
which happened on the House side Of the
Capitol on the day after the opening Of the
extra session.
One of these young gentlemen, who has
been In this city long enough to know all
the regulations pertaining to the manage
ment of the floors of the House and Senate
but who either cared nothing for them or
believed that United States Naval Acad-
envy cadet can walk in where the public
fear to tread, was anxious to see the ses-
sion OF the House. He made several at
them to be so crowded that to effect an
entrance was an impossibiiity. Nothing
daunted, he decided that the best place for
such parsonage as he to witness the pro-
ceedings was on the floor itself.
He went down stairs and started boldly to
walk In the main entrance. Naturally one
of the doorkeepers stopped him and said:
Young man, what right have you to go
in there?'
The United States naval cadet was thor
oughly indignant at being stopped. and his
attitude and expression plainly indicated his
feelings. He drew himself up to his greatest
height, threw out his manly chest as far as
his close-fitting jacket would allow him,
mental who dared to arrest his progress,
tapped the aforesaid manly chest with his
right hand and remarked, by the right of
this uniform" and haughtily strobe by the
doork eeper in on the floor.
The audacity of the young man took away
the breath of the attendant, and before he
could recover the cadet had disappeared on
the floor.
