RATTLE WITH A TUNA
THE FISH SWAMPED AND
WRECKED THE BOAT.

swan "A Long Distance to q Launch,
Keeping Up a Constant Fight with the
Fish.

One of the most remarkable expert
ences ever recorded in fishing ma
took place lear Avalon, Catalina Is
land. Cal, recently, almost resulting
in the drowning of three men. G. r.
Holder, president Of the Tuna club, n
T. M. Townsend of Philadelphia, with
Jim" Gardner as boatman, started Tor
Long Point, towed by the launch Min
nehaha. on Whites Landing they
struck a large school of tunas, darting
in every direction. Townsend had the
first strike, but failed to hook his fish.
A second later Holder had a strike and
in a moment the boat was rushing
astern after the fish. After a hard
struggle the fish was brought to gaff.
Holder passed the tip of his rod for
ward and Gardner hooked the fish
with the gaff and proceeded to haul
IL in.
Just as it was landed the fish gave a
conyulsive leap and capsized the boat.
The fishermen were about a mile from
shore and the launch was some dis
lance away, having kept of to avoid
the line when the fish was playing.
Holder, seeing that the boat would
not hold them all, struck out for the
launch, which he finally reached, great
" exhausted. The other two men
were having a serious time. as the fish
rolled the boat over several times, and
the wire ladder Of Holders line was
wound around Townsend's legs. Gard
ner also started to swim to the launch.
leaving Townsend alone with the
boat, which was now turned bottom up.
allowing the latter to climb on the
keel. Gardner was still holding on to
Holders fish and performed a most
remarkable feat of courage. Some
times he was on top of the fish and
sometimes the fish was on top OF him.
Three times the game creature made
desperate plunges and carried Gardner
under water. Finally Gardner reached
the launch exhausted. He did not re-
lease his grasp on the fish until Holder
and Mrs. Gardner drew it in. When
the fishermen were rescued the water
for an acre around looked as though
there had been a wreck. Oars, clothes,
Fudders, gaffs, hats and other debris
fioated about. Gardner was badly cut
and scraped by his fight with the fish.

THE CRADLE OF CoEDucATIoN.
Some of the Prim Rules That Governed
the Early Girl Graduate.

ahNE AAat
the Early Girl Graduate.
1t is now about sixty-five years since
for the first time in the history OF our
country young ladies studied the high
er branches in the same classroom
with young men and publicly received
the degree OF Bachelor of Arts from
Oberlin college, the cradle of c~o-educa-
ton. In the year 1871 three women
graduated and were the first young
women to receive a degree in arts"
and in 1874 two women applied for adj
mission to the theological seminary.
were admitted and finished the course.
although they did not receive a de-
gree. One coveted privilege these
young ladies were not permitted to
enjoy-that of reading their essays on
commencement day. The professor OF
rhetoric was their proxy. Such an
ardent woman's rights advocate as
Lucy Stone had to suffer under this
humiliatlng discrimination, but not
without vigorous protest. Her essay
was not read by the professor of rhet-
oric for the simple reason that It was
never written. In 1859 that barrier was
broken down by the pent-up energies
OF many generations of irate female
students, who here as everywhere OBJ
tanned their rights If they wanted them.
The living of the young ladies must
nave been very plain, for they paid
only 20 cents a week for board, and
they paid that by work at the rate OF
3 cents an hour. | find nowhere a
record OF class parties. and not a trace
OF a class picture, and I know that
there existed no such frivolous thing
as a chocolate drop. There were four
women to enter the first regular fresh
man class. Though the frivolities OF
modern college life were not per
mitted, love could not be kept out. and
Mary +. Kellogg, one Of the four. aft
erward became the wife of ex-Presi-
dent Fairchild. The mother of DR..
Barrows, the recently elected presi-
dent. was also one of those pioneers OF

dream that at a crisis in the history OF
her alma mater she would give her
beloved son to be the leader of that
noble institution. Woman's Home

INDIANS LUCK.
Hurled Over Sturgeon Falls. He Els.
capped With Slight Injury.

Mitchell Peters, a Shawana Indian,
is a living witness of a drunken mans
luck.
Peters was one of a driving crew
that broke a big jam above Sturgeon
Falls. He made a desperate tempt
Of trying to cross the river on a log
and was carried over the falls. The
falls are 40 feet high and consist of
two pitches and a rapids. Peters was
given up for dead and the driving crew
thought it use less TO search the river
fer his body, as the logs We're piling
over the falls at a fast rate.
Imagine the surprise of all when
Peters walked into C amp the next
morning for breakfast. Some thought
IL was his ghost until he was in their
midst. He had been swept down the
river by the rushing water and up
against the river bank, anu he manag-

only injuries sustained.
