Cohahsey Greek, May Z, 1919.
&. Thinking that our friends might de-
sire to learn how the sturgeon fishing
is progressing at this time o fthe season
! nee more take my pen in hand to in
form them. The catch for this year up
TO the present time is less than any
previous one in the history of the busi-
ness. While there are a few firms who
have their usual number of fish caught,
others are so far behind that they do
not anticipate on making any money
during the season. Nearly all of the
firms are under a heavier expense than
previous years, and from Cape Shore to
Bay Side, l think l can safely say, there
are not more than three Or four firms
who are up to the catch of last year.
Last week | stated that the average
catch to the boat wal 10 fish. They
may possibly come up to Is now, but
the past week has been a very poor one.
On Wednesday, May LIST, n of D..
p. Leonard's boats wa blown away by
the heavy storm which was raging at
that time. The men who were manag'
lug the boat carefully guided her into
one of Delaware's creeks, after the
storm subsidized on Friday, they headed
their boat for Bay Side arriving there
on Saturday. Mr.. Leonard sailed his
schooner up and down both sides of the
bay in search of his boat and crew. but
failed to find them until Monday when
they sailed up to the his schooner which
was hove too near the Ledge light
house. MI. Leonard deserves consider
able praise for his bravery in breasting
the storm in Search of his boat and
crew. As near as We can learn, there
is very little difference in the catch Of
fish from Bay Side on down the Bay,
all firms seem to capture a few. AS
the old saying goes among the Usher.
men, we are all waiting for the "full
moo rum when we hope to be reward
ed with sturgeon in great numbers.
Capt. Stevenson, of the schooner N.
G. Price, is always at his post and his
clear and silvery voice a be heard at
any time during the day as he gives his
commands "hard lee" to his jolly crew,
who herald the answer back "ah all 4!
SIR" to him. He shouts again, weigh
anchor and every eye is turned toward
his vessel, as the crew all with n ac-
cord begin to sing some old seaman's
"Shauty," while the melodious voice
of Capt. "Nuck'i a be heard above
all the rest, ''weigh well, my jolly crew,
for l am ever with you"
Capt. Harry Dolbow, with his whal-
ing ship. now quickly seeks a harbor as
night draws neal. He inform us that
m night upon the storm tossed waves
of the Delaware Bay is sufficient to last
him a life time. ONE OF You.

walked OH. After some time he became
aware that he was being followed by a
lion, which stopped when he stopped

keeping about the same distance behind

night to spring upon him. He knew
that a few miles ahead was deep drift
in a river, and OH the opposite bank
higher up was farm: He went down
the drift, put q large ant heap between
himself and the lion, hastily stuck his
stick in tho ground and hung his hat on
it so that it should just show above the
top Of the ant heap, and then, still keep
ing the mo:nd between himself and the

the bank concealed him. Then he hur-
ried up stream till he got to the farm.
Next day the ground round the ant heap
was found torn up in all directions, and

deeply, and at length with his own
hands carefully prepared for the great

There ara all the way from 40 to so
tons of parissg green lying uncalled for in

monumental display of idleness is that
there are no. potato bugs this summer.
This is only ly-eonparatively true. There
are few potato bugs, but the number
has been small. As result of the. dis
appearance Of the bugs the farmers of
Minnesota have not only been saved the

A piece Of glass abratled by tho beach
And six on seven shells,
A bottle with bllebclls
And two French copper coins, rang'd there
with careful art
To comfort his sad heart.

To God and wept and said:
"Ah, when ut last We lie with tranced breath,
Not vcXing thee in death.

The Echoes of an Eagles Nest.

The most wonderful echo in the
known world is that heard from the
Eagles Nest i'll the lake regions of Ire
land. The rock known as eagles
Nest' is the most prominent peak to be
found among the heights that surround
the Killarney lakes. Its apex is 1850
feet above the surface of the water, and
the extraordinary echo is heard to the
best advantage from a spot 100 feet to
the west from an opening called the
DEVILS Mouth. at that point the effect
Of the re-echoed sounds is absolutely
startling, the slightest whisper being re-
peated as often as 1000 times. The re-
bound is always clear and distinct and
appears to come from the crags, cliffs
and peaks which surround the expert
