GAZED ON THE MIKADO.
UnintentionaI Ofense by an American
Girl Travelling In Japan.


Numerous stories are told of the I'M
abashed behavior of free-born American
girls in the presence of royalty. Uncle
Sans daughters calmly assume that
princes, kings and emperors are never any
better than-seldom as good asher
brothers in the land of the free, and as she
has no special reverence for the men at
home she fails to see why those she meets
abroad should be treated any more defer
entially.
Miss Kate Garrison, Buffalo girl now
travelling in the orient, writes home detail

in Japan:

HOOKED A DUCK.
A Minnesota Sportsman Has n Queer
Experience While Fishing.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

ioh hiHntdphlS JouIudl.
Messrs. Smith and Bleithen of Mime
apolis were out fishing at Prior Jake a day
or two ago. The day was not good for
fishing. A heavy rainfall of the day and
night before had made the water roily and
very cold. AT such times the bass, even
the spawning ones. seek deep water. Dili-
gently the fisherman. under the direction
of Jim Hall. cast the shores and coves.
but after a hard days work, with arms
and wrists sore and tired from the exer-
else, the fishermen dropped down along the
south shore toward the Grainwood House,
with only fifteen bass.
Stopping for half hour in Candy Cove.
where the rrshes and rice grow far out
into the water, they fished during the late
evening. Mr. Bleithen was seated in the
stern, and twilight settled over the
water he was unable to gauge one Of his
casts. which carried the delicate braided
silk. hook. sinker. frog and all far into the
rice beds, where 'froggy settled on
messy bog. At this juncture Mr.. Bleithens
reel caught, and, through some misadven-
ture, tangled up. Allowing his bait TO rest
where it lay among the rice, the angler
began to clear his reel of the snarl.
Meanwhile old mallard duck. seated
upon her nest beheld the tempting frog
within a neck's reach of her. Out shot her
head. and with delighted quack the mall
lard bolted frog, hook, sinker and a yard
of line. Now q great tumult arose. Mr..
Bleithen felt a terrific tug upon his rod.
The tip shot upward instead Of downward.
Truly a most marvellous fish," quoth Mr..
Bleithen. 'One of the flying species. no
doubt. from the Mediterranean"
The reel was now running terrific pace.
The game scared far away in the blue
heavens. The 1.-THE steel bent and straight
ened as the prey made wild lunges and
plunges for freedom. Mr.. Bleithen with
remarkable presence of mind, played his
quarry, while the guide. whose surprised
imprecations rent the air, stood upon the
top of his seat. wildly swooping the land
ing net about in desperate effort to land
the game.
All this time Mr.. Bleithen was firm i'm his
conviction that he had hooked flying fish.
Smith happens TO be an old duck hunter
and the astounding sight so amazed him
that his eyes nearly popped out of his
head Twas a desperate struggle but
strength and skill finally won out, and the
mallard, with one despairing Quack, was
entangled in the meshes of the landing
net.
Once the duck was taken and Mr.. Bleith-
en- was satisfied OF the genus of his cap
ture through the combined efforts of the
other participants in the strange adVen-
ture, a question of vital importance arose
The closed season for aquatic fowl pre-
vailed. There had been no intention on
the part of those concerned to break the
game laws, but an unlawful act had been
committed nevertheless, and to remedy the
evil done the guide, after much difficulty
