DUCKS CAUGHT IN DRIFT NETS.
A Method which Is Bound to Result In
Large Catch.

Large numbers of ducks, unmarked
by shot or bullets, are sold in the
market every day by fishermen. The
impression has always prevailed that
the birds were trapped, and so they
are, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
but not in the fashion that one might
suppose. They are taken by chance
in drift nets out in the bay while the
fishermen are busily gathering in the
fnny inhabitants of the deep.
Anyone who has visited the fisher
mems wharf could not but take an in
terest in the gear spread out to dry.
The most peculiar looking net is what
is known as the 'tremel-mesh." 1t
consists of three nets, the largest hav-
ing meshes about eight inches in d.
ameter, and the smallest two or three
inches. The nets are placed in the
water overlapping each other, the
smallest drifting in front. Small fish,
in plunging about in the small mesh
net, tumble through the larger meshes
of the big net, and become securely
entangled in the pockets thus formed.
Ducks very often have the same fate.
The net drifts down upon a flock feed
ing in shallow water, and as they dive
for food they become entangled in the
smaller net and are held secure until
taken out by the owner of the net.
In this way hundreds of ducks are
bagged and sold in the markets every
day. The easiest place to take them
is in San Pablo bay, where the water
is shallow. Since the opening of the
game season many fishermen have done
a profitable business in ducks taken in
this way.

SETTLED THE BILL.
Hotel Keeper That Preferred to Pay an
Intended Suicides Fare.


Suicides are never wanted by hotel
proprietors. Each one costs a hotel
a considerable amount of money, and
for months the room in which it oc-
CURED is Stunned. At one of the lead
ing hotels of this city lately, says the
Washington Star, a guest acted strange
ly, and the proprietor made up his mind
that the man was going to do some
thing desperate. So one night he went
to the guests room. There was no
answer to his knocks, and the door
was locked. A look over the transom
showed his guest writing letter, a
pistol at one side and bottle of poison
at the other.
"Let me in or I'll break open the
door, called the landlord. ...
The door was opened after a little
hurried work disposing of the things
on the table.
Il don't want any suiciding here"
said the landlord, entering. whats
the matter with you, anyway"
''Out of money, out of work and can't
get out of town." sullenly said the
guest.
"Well, how much cash will you take
and agree to get out of town." asked
the hotel man.
Il could get home for $2O," was the
reply.
Heres the money; now pack your
grip and take the first train
The man went. 1t was a good bust
ness transaction for the landlord.

There is no relief in sight for the
people as against the politicians
in the recent discovery by which
a fellows insides can be photo
graphed. The politicians are
never long enough in one condi-

they could, they are so black in

PARET'S EXPERIENCE.
The Bishop of Maryland Tells Good
Story at His Own Expense.

The Bishop of Maryland Tells a Good
Story at His Own Expense.
Bishop Paret tells a good story, and
at his own expense, says the Baltimore
American. AS it happened, he was
on a Washington train recently, and
was seated in the immediate vicinity
of a couple of men who were rather
under the weather." as the saying
is. Presently one of the men, with a
forcible expletive, remarked to the
other that some one had robbed him of
o $40 bill. His friend remarked: 'Oh,
l guess not; you must have it about
you somewhere" But the other in
sisted that he hadn't, and that he had
the bill when he came aboard the
train. Some one had robbed him, and
he proposed to find it if he had to
search the whole crowd. GAS it hap
pened," says Bishop Paret, 81 had n
500 bill, and that was all, and as was
the nearest man to them, and the
first likely to be approached, / felt a
little uncomfortable. Then it oc-
Cured to me to pretend to be asleep
Sure enough, in a minute more l was
accosted with: Say, neighbour But
l made no answer. Then the man
grabbed my arm and shook me, but
to no use, as 1 didn't wake up. He
kept on shaking, however, and always
a little more forcibly, until at last his
friend interposed with: L say, Bill
let him alone, will you; he's drunkerr
YOU are!'"

The republicans of this congress

The republicans of this congress
ional district are not going to be
switched off the congressional
track by any movement of the pie
consumers. The pie politicians
can fight for that until the
national convention adjourns and
tells them how many OF them
ranged up at the wrong coun-
ter, but when that fight for
spoils is over the republicans
of this district who are not
in that scrimmage will insist that
the voices of the voters be heard
and that every energy of the party
be employed to return to congress
the noble old republican who broke
the record in Texas and went into
congress without contest for his
seat, or a suspicion that a dollar
had been employed to buy a vote.
