in his sarly days as a reporter had a
deeply rooted aversion 20 the regulation
notebook OF his order, and hit upon a
method of taking notes which afforded
him great satisfaction.
He wore large white linen cuffs, and
upon them, by the aid Of tiny pencil,
he took down his notes and impressions
in all sorts of places, unobseryed by
those around him.
AT first his laundress was greatly pug

BITS OF HISTORY.
Curious Facts About Swearing Vice Pros

More than once in our history the
wee president has been sworn and in
Quoted into Office sooner than the presi-
dent, says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
This was the case of John Adams, who
took the oath and became president of
the senate and vice president OF the
United States nearly month before
Washington's first Inauguration; it was
the case with Willard Fillmore, who. it
is said, took the oath on Sunday, March
4, falling on that day of the week in
lS40, while Taylor. the president-elect,
being a rigid Sabbatarian. did not per
NIT himself TO bc sworn until Monday.
IT is said that in 1877. when March 4
again fell on Sunday, Wheeler, the vice
president-elect, took the oath on that
day. while Hayes, having religious
scruples. put off the matter until Mon
day. OF these cases, however. the most
peculiar was that of 1889. when, the gov
eminent having just been put in opera
ton. presented the curious spectacle of
vice president without president
At the time, however. the matter seems
to have attracted little attention or re

TRY NEW LURES.
All Fish Have To Feed. What do Thsy
EatY


EatY
II there is anything a fisherman likes
to do II Is to get n mess of fish where
others have failed TO get a bite, and no
stories are more frequently told than
those o, big baskets filled at lakes or
ponds known TO be alive with fish, but in
which the fish were never before known
10 bite. There are lots of ponds in which
fish can be seen but not taken. In some
lakes fish may lie taken i'm the spring
only, or i'm midsummer, giving rise TO
the belief that they do not feed at other
times. In places where trolling spoons
alone are used, very often big catches
are made with flies of bass and pickerel,
and in places where only natural bats
worms, frogs, minnows--are popular,
artificial lures are often successful.
1t is related of jefferson county vii
lage that no one ever used flies for bass
fishing till a boy who knew about Adron-
dack trout fishing came along with "a
seven-ounce fly rod. with other tackle
TO match.
THAT toothpIck catch a fish?" said
the native fishermen. "Why, half
pound bass would smash it all 10 pieces"
couple Of them were curious TO
know how the thing worked, and vol
untoered to row the boat. They got TO
n big, dark pool under cedar tree on a
ledge of rocks, and Grizzly King and
Yellow Sallie dropped onto the water
IKE natural flies. What followed was
convincing 10 the natives. a black bass
of over two pounds in weight grabbed
the Grizzly King and was hooked. He
put up II good fight, but at last rolled
up on his side and was dipped up with
the landing net. The natives didn't say
very much, but they did whole lot of
thinking. Light wood rods soon became
popular in that region, and bigger
messes Of fish were the rule.
