them landed which have weighed 200 POUNDS.
One of the most thrilling adventures ever ex-
perienced in this exciting sport happened to
B. Macready OF the Los Angeles Journal and f.
V. Pendeerton, retired apitalist of this City.
These gentlemen in rowboat one afternoon
hooked an enormous jewish, which towed
them about three miles out to sea and around
to the lower point OF the island. which is bare
and rocky. While near the shore the great fish
was brought to the surface in what was sup
posed to be an exhausted cond dition. Just as
they were about to lift the monster into the
rather frail craft the fish gave a tremendous
jump and overturned the boat. The men had
fastened the line to the craft so that, notwith-
standing their inability to pay any further at
tention to Mr.. Fish, he was still held by the
line
But now they became seriously alarmed as
to their own fate. Their best efforts we're en-
ployed to regain a handhold on the boat then
too far from shore for the best swimmer to
consider himself safe. And to add to their
conservation, they soon discovered that their
"catch" was towing the overturned boat
farther out to sea, where the breakers wer>>e-
coming very troublesome Every ef/rt to
stop the onward pulling of the fish pJ<yed un-
availing. In this dilemma thor/hts of a
watery grave began fitting throue/ their dis
tressed minds. They were percfEd upon the

trepdation lest by sudden yanfk they should
lose their balance and fall into te sea.
They were almost in the ag,h hy of despair
when with joy inexpressible they observed
that the sea monster had turndd toward the
shore. This course was pursued until shallow
water was reached when anot( Ter turn was
made in the direction of deep waSer. In mo-
ment the fishermen agreed to \bandon the
helpless craft and swim for their\ lives, leay-
ing fish and boat behind.
With nerve and fortitude they both Nsched
the rocky point, greatly exhausted, but ~
gra:ified that they were alive. After lonS>
tramp they reached Avalon Bay and recounted
their adventure to few intimate friends, who
on the following day took a sailboa. ana went
in search OF the overturned skiff, but so far as
known it was never recovered. An incident of
the trip across the island on the return is that
these gentlemen found the cropping of lead
mine, which, being reported to ono Benson,
was afterward located and worked with great
success.

How a Ukiah
Trio Gained Waltonesque
Regulations.
Dlvulged by Frank L. Perkins.

There is an incident in connection with a
fishing expedition in which engaged in Men
doclno County that viii ever remain green in
my memory. By it the regulations of Attorney
J. A. Cooper, local sportsman named Fitz-
gerald and myself were firmly established.
Cooper, Fitzgerald and myself set forth in
buggy for Walker Greek, which flows through
Walker Valley about twelve miles north of
Ukiah. Arrived at the fishing ground the two
proceeded to whip the stream towards its
source for a mile or two and then returned.
Fitzgerald returned first. When 1 inquired
his luck, he opened his basket and sadly gazed
upon fifty-three small fish. When the attor-
nev returned he also developed marked re-
luetanee to showing the contents of his basket,
but finally admitted that his luck was limited
TO thirty-seYen.
"Our regulations are ruined,' groaned the
disciple of Blackstone.
"We will have to sneak into town by an un-
frequented road" said Fitzgerald.
Suddenly bright idea flashed into the Sc
date attorneys mind, and he astonished us by
jumping into the air and cracking his heels
together. 81 have it." he fairly shouted; "get
in and help me and we are all right"
He speedily unfolded his plan and we went
to work. euSSSring plenty of moss and ferns,
we stuffed botINI baskets and q large bucket
with theEe materiAs nearly to the top. Then
the ishiwere carefully laid on top, the largest
neal tlye surface, and\ \e were ready.
whT we drove intG\town that night and
STOPPED in front of theAGrand Hotel all our
fIEnds crowded round tolsee the result of the
Catch. 1t was about block in the evening
and the light was dim.
'''Gaze on these beautidE," exclaimed Fitz-
gerald, dragging a basket into view. There
are just 563 beauties in there. Look at
Cooper's basket here. Heihas 672 more. And
even Perkins stayed witlt the team and man.

1t Had a
Miscellaneous CongIomeration
In Its Stomach.
Caught by John Hamlin.

The pig has always been held up to scorn
and contumely as the greediest and least to be
emulated OF all the living creatures OF the
world but it can't hold candle to fish of the
scuIpin family that is common in the waters
of the bay, and, in fact, all along the coast.
This creature is called by the fishermen
capisori, and by those who are unfamiliar with
piscatorial nomenclature plain "hog" fish.
There seems to be no limit to its capacity,
and one caught off the Bay Farm Island
bridge at Alameda by John Hamlin, the bridge
tender, few days ago, puts it in the front
rank of the gluttons. The fish took large and
succulent worm impaled for the undoing OF
porgie.
His bite was voraeious and determined, and
when hauled up his stomach was found to
contain three crabs, each about the size of
silver dollar, fish fully three inches long,
several barnacles and piece of liver the size
of walnut The fish itself was not over ten
inches long. The stomach was so distended as
to make a lump the size Of an egg on the
under side of the fish.

Finally it ceased in its race, and l thought
the fish had escaped, but grasping the pole
strong jerk at the end of the line convinced
me otherwise, and from the manner in which
his fshship yanked and sawed, first this way,
then in another, now behind me, now in front,
and again straight downward had an oppor-
tunity OF estimating his size, which l thought
must be in the neighborhood of good-slzed
whale. How he did tug and pull!

induced me to bring the big line that morn
ing, but here was q pretty quandary. Here
was the big fellow nearly twenty feet below
the surface firmly tangled among the snags
and I rapidly firing. An idea. Reaching shore
took brief breathing SPELL and grasping an
open knife in one hand soon reached the an
chorage. Looking down through the clear,
still water caught glimpse of my prey and
the sight made me all the more eager to have
him. Down 1 went, down, down, until the
surface looked dark and green. The big beauty
saw me and he darted so frantieally that ex-
pected to see the line snap, but luck favored
me. Reaching the snags 1 wound the line
about my left hand several times, then cut the
cord above and made for the surface fairly
breathless, the big fish in tow.
He was still game, but l drew him up and
jabbed him with the knife, which speedily
took all the fight and dash out OF him. Reach
ing shore 1 had an opportunity to look him
over and found him to be fine salmon. The
scales told the weight to be IL pounds.

The Man Who

to have that fish or stay there all year.

preached the hole. The pool is about twenty
feet across and it narrowed down to three feet
where the creek passed under a fallen tree to

novel and exciting experience befell me
during my last vacation, down on the Mereed
River. For some time we were camped in the
immediate vicinityof the falls, and fish of all
kinds, seemingly, from homely cats to the
dainty trout, had been biting in manner
dear to the heart of the most exacting. We
lived in an atmosphere of fishy odors and
glistening scales.
One warm morning, long before sunrise,
was off to an untried pool which had previ-
ously attracted my attention, with a can full
of big grasshoppers for bait,which had easily
stripped in their stupefed state at that early
hour from the branches of the young willows,
where they clustered at night.
For once the fnny tribe refused to bite, and
1 began to think of removing. But seating
myself upon the spreading roots of great oak
over the water, was nearly asleepwhen with
out seconds warning the pole shot from my

The Perils of
Jewfishiug at Catalina and
A Lucky Accident.

Taking Jewish at Santa Catalina Island has

fishermen. These fish are ready takers of
hooks properly baited, and are ''gamy' to
the last degree A jewish to attract any at

Gludness Comes

With a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply 10 a constipated condl-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrupof Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and IS
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that 1T is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which il acts. It's therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, TO note when you pur-
chase. that You have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
Ifaffiicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended TO the most skill
physicians. but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used ard gives most general satisfaction.
