and aptitude in all the selections. Each

hours to complete the exercises no one
was wearied and all seemed sorry when
they closed. Loud were the praises be-
slowed that night. This school is

room. Mr.. l.. J. Williams, who is a
competent judge, also visited the school
the last week in March and expressed
himself as well satisfied with the work
being done. Our colored people NAV

STRING OF FISH RESTORED.
cnpt. l.. II. Kuhn's Story Verified by
Most Fortunate Catch.

Ahpt. H. ~ Nuuh Story NtI1lieu Dy
Most Fortunate Catch.
Capt. L. II. Kuhn, an expert fly fisher
nan, OF Hancock, Nd, while out on the
Potomac several days ago, had not cast the
ay twenty minutes before he captured a
Fery large bass. He had taken two small
bass and sunfish, when he changed the fly
to a blue jay. and the first cast he made lie
hooked the big fish, which he landed after
vigorous fight.
He put the bass on the strinGcr and kept
Oh fishing. a short Willie later he looked
pown to take view of the big fish in the
water, when 10 his discontinue he observed
HAT the fish and stringer were gone. He had
congratulated himself upon making the
largest catch of the season, and returned
home with dan.pened ardor. Very few
would believe his story.
Early the following morning Mr.. Thomas
c. Hughes, another wcllknowu angler,
walked into Capt. Kulln's place OF busi-
ness with the fish, sure enough. He found
the string about zoo yards above the point
at which it was lost Capt. Kuhn was very
proud of the vindication this brought him.
The bass pulled down the scales Mt four
and one-G quarter pounds, and the suppesition
is that he would have weighed quite i've
pounds When first taken.
