TO LURE THE TROUT.
Young San Francisco Girls Marvelou
Skill as a FIymaker.

Young San Francisco Girls Marvellous
Skill as a FIymaker.
Every good housekeeper hates flies and
does the best she cnn to get rid Of them, but
there is one little girl in San Francisco who
earns a very comfortable living by making
them. OF course they are not the ordinary
flies that buzz around sugar bowls and fall
into the cream pitcher, but flies that anglers
pay fancy prices for SO that they may coax
trout from the streams.
Martha Benn is only 16 years old. but if she
worked steadily every day she could earn $40
a week, and that is good deal for little
girl. She is the daughter Of a man who for
years and years has tied flies for a livelihood.
Martha Benn knew how to tie the flies long
before she ever thought Of earning money by
her knowledge. She used to watch her father
Mt his work, and gradually she learned just
how he did it. Then she began to make few
flies herself. which she gave to her friends,
and now there is demand for all that she
can make.
There is no sentiment about that demand,
either. Fishermen do not buy flies because
pretty girl made them. They buy them be-
cause they are well made, strong, and look
SO natural that the fish cannot help taking
them. Then with her supple fingers and
keen eyes she can tie smaller flies than her
a
used in these days, when most of the trout
caught within reasonable distance OF San
Francisco are fingerlings.
When she remains steady at her little table
she can make three dozen flies in a day, from
which she receives from 81 to SI.50 a dozen.
But her father will not let her devote all her
time 10 the work, which is very tiresome to
the fingers and eyes. But she succeeds in
making very comfortable income much
larger than almost any other girl of 16 could
earn.
1t is very interesting to watch Martha Benn
tie flies. The material comes from all over
the world. In particularly gaudy fly there
may be feathers from an ostrich from Africa,
of a rooster from North America, Of paro
quet from South America, OF a swan from
almost anywhere. and there may be fur and
silk in it. too. Now there are thousands of
different kinds of flies. Nearly every fisher
man has his own peculiar favorite, so. of
course. there have to be great many differ
ent materials used
The little fiymaker tied ''royal coach
man" while the San Francisco Examiner man
watched her. First she took a bare No. IL
hook and piece OF gut. Taking a piece OF
prepared silk about one-quarter as thick as
that ordinarily used in sewing, she made
few turns. which fastened the hook to the
gut. Then she made the body of the fly ont
of piece OF ostrich feather and n bit of gold
foil. The next thing was TO add the backle,
which in this case was made of a red feather
taken from the neck of rooster. All that
was needed then were the wings. which she
deity clipped from a swans feather and the
real wing of a paroquet. All OF these differ
ent members were bound to the hook by the
bit of silk. All it needed was a bit OF varnish
to set it. and the fly was finished. and after
you looked AT il YOU couldn't blame greedy
trout for grabbing it.

A Georgia Chickens Hickory Limb.
from the Atlanta Constitution

This snake story comes from Floyd Springs:
large chicken snake captured small
chicken there month ago, and had swallowed
It's right foot and leg when discovered by the
chickens owner. The snake was killed, but
not before it had bitten Off the chickens leg.
The owner believing it to be an unusually
fine chicken, made a small wooden leg and
fastened it on with strap. The chicken
walked off very proudly. and paved up the
earth recklessly with its hickory limb. Now
it is almost frying size and is still in good
shape, and will be exhibited at the Atlanta
Cotton States and International Exposition
next year.

As women here are into everything else a
new field is open to them in the military line,
and as the idea is English it ought to take at
once. In England n brigade OF volunteers
has been recruited exclusively from among
women. This accounts for the popularity of
fencing among the fashionable English bellies.

Fastening in found Wright and the two
Henry Jaeksons in the corridor. En-
right, who was absent soon put in an ap-
pearance. They were placed in their
cells when it was found that two bars,
in the water closet had been sawed
off, and iexas Jack had been reconnoi-

Lewis last winter The bars, though,
had been cut in q different place. AZ

it was undon btedly the intention to dig
q hole through the bricks in the rear OF
the building which could have been done
IN lew moments, when the whole
crowd would have made their escape.
The Sheriff and his deputy began hunt

esting operation. A well made saw man
ufsctured out Of clock spring was
found fastened to the inside of Texas

Sheriff on tle righ. track for some to-

Of the broom, so as to be entirely con

The Sunrise hop given at the Odd Fell
lows hall Wednesday evening was
pleasant success. A large crowd was in
attendance, and the committee having
the affair in charge deserves much credit
for the manner in which it managed 1T.
The hall was decorated with bunting.
Dancing was kept up until half past five,
when the dancers dispersed.
Alderman John Hurley, chairman of
the Macon councils fire committee, Chief
L. M. Jones, Of the Macon fire depart
ment, and Mr. William Scha tzman, of that
city, were in Savannah Friday on bust
ness. Friday afternoon they were taken
in charge by Chief Puder and Mr.. E. G.
Gleason and were driven out to Thunder
bolt, where they were royalty enter

most pleasant guests and their entertain
ers were sorry to see them depart so
early.
A "tacky party was given Thursday at
the bone of Miss Gussie Klugs, No. 80
Jones street. Tacky parties are quite
fad Just now, and Thursday evenings en-
tertainment excelled anything of the
kind that has been given this season.
The parlors were beautifully decorated
with flowers and ferns, and a most enjoy
able evening was spent. The characters
were comical in the extreme. The ladies
did not try to look their best, which is
usually the caseat entertainments. How
ever, they did not look out of place, as all
were dressed in a like manner. They
were adorned in every color imaginable,
and presented quite a spectacle. The
gentlemen's paraphernalia would remind
one of Bill Nye or SUIT Lovingood, and
would have made them turn in disdain
had they been present on this occasion.
Dancing and general hilarity were the
order of the evening. At 10 O'Clock a
luncheon was served, which proved to be
one of the most interesting parts of the
programme. Dancing was then ind ulged
in until the "wee' small hours.
