This land locked bay Of San Diego
and the kelp bed at the harbor mouth
is a favorito home for the black sea
bass or jewish, as it is commonly
called. Catching these fish is excellent
sport They weigh from 100 to 500
rounds and in appearance are much
like the small lnouthed black bass OF
eastern lakes. A long hand line the size
of window sash cord, large hook OF
Quarter inch iron, baited with whlto-
fish. an AK and rowboat are all the
tackle needed for this sport
The baited hook is dropped to the
bottom In 90 feet or more of water, A
vigorous bite and the fish almost hooks
itself. Then the fun begins The long
line plays ont with the rapidly Of q

of the rowboat begins TO take up the
slack line. This rouses the fish. Away
he darts again and stops. The slack is
pulled In again. The efforts OF the fish
become less vigorous Tho line Is made

warned to look out, The fish begins to
run away. The line tightens, This time
it does not play ont. The fish. feeling

Faster and faster goes the boat as
the captive fish tows it seawaM until
the bow is pulled down almost beneath

the fish gets tired coping with such
heavy odds and finally allows itself to
be drawn alongside the boat. a blow

MEMORIES or THE FAIR.

The Old Fisherman was There to At

He looked as though he had driftet,
into Chicago on the tail end of chcal
/ excursion.
He was n thin, old man in a blue
checked shirt and q wispy goatee, and
while two hundred thousand people
wandered about the Worlds Fair
grounds and marvelled at the wonders
of the Columbian Exposition, the thin,
old man sat on stone under the
bridge in front of the Agricultural
Building and fished.
A piece of hemp cord, relic of a cast
off lunch box, dangled from ten-cent
cane with head-of- Columbus handle.
A convenient grasshopper did duty us
bait.
Up above, the thousands poured over
the bridge and spread themselves
about the grounds, but the thin old
man fished on, calmly oblivious to all
about him.
Had any luck?" asked n man on the
bridge.

Capt. King and His monograph.

Capt. Charles King Is mentioned as
the nrst writer VINO has made praU,l-

thor of pleasant paper on the literary
men Of the army in the last Californian
quotes as follows from letter written
by Capt. King: Il devote all months
of the year to literary work. I have
very little time for rest. 1t Is my
custom ordinarily in writing to scribbie
roughly In pencil or with fountain pen,
In a sort of shorthand Of my own, the
story as it occurs to me, and then, hav-
ing gone over 1t once or twice, to read
it Into my phonograph; then the cylin-
ders of the phonograph are taken down

Rhoades, and that young lady very
carefully and conscientiously does the
typewriting In debating to her 1t is
not necessary to bother myself about

Why Brick Carriers Founder.

Cargoes Of brick have to be stoweo
In the most careful manner, says the
Philadelphia Record, or else the vessels
carrying them will founder in the
mildest weather, owing to the strong
tendency of the brick to absorb the
water caused by the leakage which
necessarily occurs on all wooden YES
sells. The brick will absorb the watei
as fast as 1t runs in from an ordinary
leak, and the increased weight of the
brick causes the vessel to settle until
she makes the final plunge, and the
crew are frequently at loss to know
the cause. To new shoals, defective
work in the vessels construction and
other causes are attributed the disas

What will do it 2

Medical writers claim that the sue
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh mus,
be non irritating, easy of application
and one that will reach the remote
SORES and liberated surfaces. The

is proof positive that only one remedy
has completely met these conditions,
and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This

has ever done, and both physicians
and patients freely concede this fact
Our druggists keep it.

The Kaffirs are great swimmers.

The Kafirs are great swimmers.
They can do things In the water which
other boys would look upon with as
tonishment. For example, Kaff1r
boy can ford stream, shoulder high,
running as swiftly as II shot from q
torrent. The way they accomplish the
feat is this: Just before entering the
water they get huge stone, sometimes
- h~avv As themselves, and with the
help of a companion place it upon the
head. A weight like this gives the
boy balance, and he can keep his foot
ing against the heaviest stream. If he
were TO drop the stone he would be SO
light the water would sweep him off
his feet. And this Is Just one of the
Kaff1r tricks to accomplish things
against tide and flood.
