Seth Low will probably get a smaller

Henry George, Jr., was born in Sac

the public schools of San Francisco. He
was taken from school and put to work
in a printing office, and he helped to
set type for "Progress and Poverty" "
He came east with his father in 1880.
In 1883 he went to England as his
fathers private secretary. After his
return he was employed for some time

Afterward he was assistant to the late
James Redpath when the latter was
editor of the North American Review
When The Standard was founded by
his father as the recognized exponent
of the single tax movement he became
managing editor of the paper, holding

ceeded down the Boistrudan road to a
pile of rocks on the highway, kept there
for the compulsory exercise of male
factors.
Here the able sat down and began to
break rocks at a great rate, the servant
standing and looking on.
Then u worthy matron of the village
appeared with several steamdng dishes
and foaming pot of ale.
The able looked at it and turned
away. Itwould have been sin to long
for it, and it is probable that the vicar
sinned, as he pushed the food aside and
attacked the rocks with redoubled
vigor.
At nightfall, weary and worn out, he
ate piece of hard bread and drank
draught of water and retired.
For three days Able Maltier kept this
up.
On the following day he held a
thanksgiving service in the church,
after which he was entertained at a
substantial repast by his parishioners.

weeks, will not be principal factor in

are probably not transferable. Some of

One of the Italians suggested letting
a pigeon loose TO fly up inside Of the

burned OFF the chain, and the string
was left at its starting point Then the
younger foreman tried. He had made a
kite having two strings, one Of which
went through pulley attached near the
kite, which had small iron weight
fastened to its upper end, the intention
being to fly the kite until it was direct

the weight down into the interior
The kite worked beautifully until it
was time for it to be useful, when il
turned a somersault, tangling itself in

HARPooNINe TARPoN.
A Royal Sport That Appeals to Bath
Hunters and Fishers.

A Royal Sport That Appeals TO Bath
Hunters and Fishers.
A writer for Outing teils about the
sport of striking tarpon.
"For this" he says, zone uses a
barbed iron called grains or a short,
light harpoon known as lily iron,
either Of which is temporarily attached
to light pine pole, the striking pole,
and is cast as a spear might be.
"The grains is a double pronged
wrought iron instrument, the prongs usu-
ally not more than or 4 inches in
length, and from three. sixteenths to
three-eighths of an inch thick. Strong
barbs are sprung an inch from the deli
cately sharp, hardened points, having
spread of three-eighths Of an inch and
about y inches space between the two.
The prongs are cut so that the points,
while extending inward, are raised from
opposing sides. This gives the greatest
holding power. The grains has also a
tapered socket for the striking pole. The
lily iron is a far heavier instrument,
md, unlike the grains, is capable Of
killing at a blow. The upper sides Of
the barbs are left broad and fiat, ena-
bling them to Withstand a strain Of sew
eral hundred pounds. a heavier and
sharper weapon is used to strike sword
fish or porpoises, as the former are
dangerous creatures, unless hit mortally
Then there are necessary 800 or 400 feet
of soft striking line, three-sixteenths
Of an inch in diameter, and one of the
ordinary fishing boats Of the Florida
coast and a guide.
"On approaching the tarpon run the
sails and mast are slowed, and the guide
uses a pole in the shallow water and
sculls in the channel. A fish being seen,
the striker indicates its direction, and,
standing in the bow with widely spread
legs, leaning well back, with poised
spear, the man waits till he is within 20
feet unless he is unusually powerful,
then hurls the weapon, which shoots
with a hiss into the water.
"The fish is anywhere from two to
three feet beneath the surface of the wa
ter, changing its position constantly,
and, because Of the refraction, seeming
ly anywhere but where it really is A
successful throw buries the points in the
flesh, and the pole comes loose and floats
to the surface, to-be picked up when the
tarpon makes its first rush. 1t is best to
let the tarpon go without trying to stop
it on the first rush, as the barbs may
fall out. When the rush is over, the
boat is run toward the fish Then out Of
the water it goes, not with the grace
and head shaking Of hooked tarpon,
but with a rush and surge. Then it tows
the boat, if the fish is a 100 or 15C
FOUNDER, at a rapid rate. Sometimes the
fish sulks and leaps, darting at the boat
to scrape the grains out Of its flesh. il
takes about half as long to kill a tarpor
with a spear as with hook, but it is 4
iercer fight while it lasts.
