and from thirty minutes to eve
hours have been consumed by anglers
before the fish is landed. The fish are
taken within a few hundred feet OF
the shore in smooth waters, making
the sport novel and delightful.
The rushes of this fish II the summer
and the flight of the flying fishes in
trying to escape are features of the To-
cality. The fish strikes on the rush,
bounding into the air sometimes ten
or fifteen feet, a magnificent spectacle.
Then 1t makes a rush that often takes
600 feet of line before the brake stops
it. The boat is dragged through the
water as though a tug was towing it,
the fish sometimes fighting for hours
before 1t will surrender.
When a school of tunas is chasing
the flying fish many may be seen in the
air at the same time, rising like silver
arrows and turning gracefully, catch
ing their prey on the wing and send
ing others whirling into the air. No
greater game awaits the skillful WELD
err Of the rod than this acrobat Of the
sea.

In describing the capture Of a 827-

zeel as many are lost. In It
comes, once more, fighting hard, the
holder of the rod bending this way and
that, trying to preserve a balance and
that tension that would prevent a sud-
den break. Now the fish darts 70 one
side. tearing the water into foam, leav-
ing a sheet Of silvery bubbles, and
swinging the boat round on a pivot.
Now 1t is at the surface, a heeting
vision, followed by a rush that car
ries the gunwale under water. This,
followed by a sudden Stacking Of the
line, sends despair to the heart. He
Is gone; the line floats. No, whizz!

Carpenter Once Attorney General Of
She State.

Charles e. Littleaeid becomes the
successor Of Nelson Dingley, Jr. az
the result Of the second congressional
district Of Maine. Starting life in the
role Of carpenter, he became successive
" lawyer. representative and attorney
general. This shows the inherent
power Of growth which has character
lied him. Mr.. Littleheld was born at
Lebanon. York county, Maine, on June
n, 1851 He obtained his education
at the high school at Weeks Mills, and
at home under the tutelage Of his
father. At the age Of sixteen he took
up the carpenters trade.
Rigid economy enabled him to 90 TO
Rockland in 1874, and study law in the
Office of Rice & Hall. In 1876 he was
admitted to the Knox county bar, hav-
ing passed a perfect examination. GEN
eral J. P. Chilly was associated with
him in the practice Of law for a time,
and Mr.. Littleheld's e%loquence socn
brought him a rich practice. Later he
took his brother, Arthur S. Littleneld,
into partnership. His ability as an
orator naturally led him into politics,
