waters into silvery spray. But the fish
lacked the willy experience of the fisher
man, and so slowly, slowly, hand over
hand, the line was drawn in, until at last
the gasping heal was lifted clear of the
water beside the boat. Then another of
the men lent hand, and the fish was
aboard and lay sullen upon the deck.
He was 2 inches over feet long, game

other and another in quick succession.
The wind was down the coast, and the
boat made a succession of sharp tacks,
lodging now far out into the sea and
then back again, while the water grew
rough under the touch of the freshening
breeze, and it was with difficulty that
we could keep our feet.
Two hours more, and daylight began
to break, but still we fished on, and the
gasping mass in the bottom of the boat
came half way to our boot tops. Then
as the dawn frightened we could begin
to see the fish when they rose from the
depths of the green waters to take the
hooks, sometimes dozen of them trail

forward and snap. Many times two or
three would be hooked at once, and
twice we were hauling in all four of the

We had done we'll enough. In the bot

sit quietly down and watch the dancing
waters until, with the sun falling low in

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April Shining that
shore of San Diego bay which lies next
the town are the huts Of many fisher
men-Portuguese, Greeks and Cinnamon
whose daily bread, to speak in para
dox, is the barracuda. With one of these
brown skinned Greeks l cast in my lot,
and the first dusk of an early March
evening found me aboard his odorous
little sloop, with his party of three, float
ing with the slow ebb of the tide out
from the shelter of the bay past the
massive headland of Point Iona into
the open sea. Here we moored for the
night, stretched ourselves upon the
cramped deck under the quiet starlight
and slept. At 2 o'clock in the blurred
misty morning we were aroused by the
little Greek and sat upon the deck. He
already had little fire burning in his
sheet iron stove, and the air was full of
the odor of coffee. There was no time
to lose, for at the barracuda would be-
gin to bite. There was no wind; only
fitful breeze stirred the flap of the sail
intermittently, and we were put at the
oars, where we toiled painfully for an
hour, struggling to pass the matted kelp
beds which inclosed us. Then the wind
freshened, and we slid again into the
open sea.
Already dozen sails were fitting
back and forth, phantomlike, IN the deep
shadows of the mist. "Portuguese!" the
little Greek said scornfully as he busted
himself in rigging his lines. His boat
carried four of 20 yards in length,
thick as clotheslines, knotted firmly at
one end to iron staples driven into the
boats rail, with at the other end the
great evil looking hooks fastened in
bodies of white bone or inches
long, curved throughout their length so
that they will flash and firt through the
water deceptively. A fresh, strong wind
was Juggling at the brown sail and send
ing the salt spray dashing over the low
deck, and with one of the men at the
tiller the sail was hauled into the wind,
and the boat leaped forward, dragging
its four lines through the water.

Lucien Rodd of WHITEHALL N. Y, being

some wears ago he suffered very greatly

his BODY was covered with sores, causing
him great pain and annoyance. That his
head was so covered with sores that he
was hard4y able to comb or even brush his
hair, so great was the pain it occasioned.
That he consulted the local physicians
without successful result; that he took
quantities of medicine with no benefit
whatever, that physicians told him his
disease was ncurable and he had come to
the same conclusion himself and had made
up his mind to go to a hospital and await
death.
That just about this time he learned
about Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, which he began to use.
That this remedy entirely relieved and
cured him, healed and dried up his sores,
enabled him to sleep soundly and com

Politics In Modern Greece.

The modern Greeks are fond of argu-
ment and discussion and will sit for
hours around a glass of water talking
politics. This passion for politics is in
herent. The distinction in Greek poll
tics is chiefly self interest. Everybody
is a patriot, but the good of the state is
a matter Of personal judgment. If NJ.
Tricoupis is unpopular. it is not because
his public virtues are doubted. but be
cause his administration is expensive for
the multitude, and the taxes on wine,
