BLOW-LINE FISHING.
Offers Advantages Not Possessed by
"Invisible" Line Methods
Of Angling.

''Some fishermen dislike a heavy
line" says an old fisherman, in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, believing that It
is more easily seen, and consequently
alarming to the fish. / am convinced
that this is an erroneous impression,
however, as if a proper length of leader
be used and the fly correctly handled
it is impossible for the fish to see the
line, not to mention the enormous ad-
vantage in accuracy and distance OBJ
tainable in the cast, particularly in a
wind. A line which has never to my
knowledge been used locally is known
as the blow line. / should have tried
it long since for lake fishing were it
not for the difficulty in obtaining one
and my failing to remember this fact
until too late each year. The line is
constructed of very loosely woven silk,
and is very light and porous. The
the lake from which the wind blows,
armed with very long. stiff pole (not
rod), some live grasshoppers, willow
or May flies and small hook at
tached to long gossamer leader. The
bait is impaled on the hook and the
pole given a quick jerk upward, throw
ing the line directly overhead, where
the wind catches it and blows line,
bait and all well out into the lake,
where the Dait struggles in an entic-
ing manner. / believe the method to
be deadly one, and hope to try it
come day. il my memory improves"

Kansans who Want Pensions.

During the recent session of con-
gress Senator Baker secured the pas
sage of 81 special pension bills for
Kansas people and he aided 1884 vet
Grams or widows of veterans to secure
an adjustment of their pension claims
through the pension bureau. In addi-
ton to this an examination of Senator
Bakers pension books show that 1922
soldiers and widows of soldiers living
in Kansas have requested him to aid
them, in addition to the claims al
ready adjusted.

After the fusion state convention at
Fort Scott the other night there was
monster mass meeting in the big
convention hall, at which Webster
Davis, of Kansas City, and David Over
myer, of Kansas, were the star at
fractions. The vast auditorium was
SO crowded that men stood at the
windows and doors outside to listen.
Probably 5000 persons were in the
hall, and while they were not all in
sympathy with the occasion, it was
largely dominated by the fusion ele-
ment, and old citizens of Fort Scott
say it was the biggest multitude ever
gathered under one roof in the town.
They were alive with enthusiasm and
there was rattle and roar of applause
from opening to close.

One o, Them Will Withdraw.

The trouble between the democrats
and populists of the Sixth district
promises to be patched up and one of
the congressional nominees will with
draw. This was settled at a Topeka
conference between j. b. Dykes (pop.)
and his friends and Tully Scott (dem.)
and his hackers. According to the
written agreement entered into, each
side is to select five men not actively
engaged in politics and let them get
together and settle it.

APPEARANCES DECEPTIVE.
They Looked Like DeacOns, But TIL e. +
Talk Showed Them to BE
Otherwise.

In a car on the Blue Island express of
the Illinois Central the other day pas
senger sat alongside pair of COM
muters. Having nothing better to do
he began in his suburban way to size
them up, wondering who and what
they were, says the Chicago Chronicle.
They were both of about the same size,
and they looked enough alike to be
brothers, if not twins. They we're
dressed in nondescript clothes of black
and they both wore derby hats of un-
known vintage. They both had I'M
kempth cronjes falling upon their shirt
fronts and their arms were full of
household packages after the manner
of good commuters. They looked very
good. There was sort Of dissen ting
air about them which made the watch
ing man think that they were mem bers
of the Lutheran church. He let his i'm
agination stray on till he saw them
on Sunday with their families about
them in the little square meeting
house taking part with deep devotion
in the exercises. He even imagined that
a faint odor of sanctity exhaled from
their persons-that delicate and in
definite perfume which comes from
pews and hymn-books.
They talked together in ordinary
tones, which were dimmed by the rush
of the express. Finally when the train
stopped at Hyde Park he heard one say
to the other:
eyes, he's mighty good wrestler,
an if I'd known jes' how good he was
I'd tried my strange holt on i'm
alters succeeded with that an no man
ever downed me yit when onct I get a
chanel = give i'm my best holt. Him
an mes goin' t have another bout mex

CHupcHKs-oF. SALT
curious Sights In the Unique strue-
tareS OF the Austro-P0lish
City Of Willicxlke.

The city of Williczke, in Polish Aus
tria, which has long been known as
the City of Salt, contains some wholly
unique specimens of church architec-
ture. Its salt mines, excavated for
lover 500 years, cover a vast under
ground area, with streets, public
squares, amusement halls and res
taurants, a railway station, 30 miles
of underground railway, and chapels
all constructed of blocks of salt, which
give out dazzling radiance in the
electric light. A writer thus de-
[scribes a scene in ST. Anthony's chap
ell, which was built in 1895, says the
Boston Post, by nameless. unaided
miner, out of solid masses of salt, and
which the writer calls the most re-
markable place of worship in the
world:
Several times each year the priests
/ of the district hold services in this
underground chapel, and one service
| in particular is annually celebrated
July 3 with considerable pomp and
earnest devotion. The priests, attired
in full robes, descend the mines in
state and are accompanied by hun
dreds of pious people: who journey
for miles from all parts of the coun-
TRY in order to take part in the .serv-
ice. A crowd of sightseers, too, at
tracted by ceremonies so unique in
their surroundings, come especially in
this day to view the mines and rev
erently listen. The chants of the
priests ana the sweet voices of the
singers reverberate through the emp
ty rooms and passages in manner
| which is both solemn and impress
i've.
"The Queens chapel, the second i'm
portant one, also possesses a mag
nificent altar, which has been carved
| with expert skill in solid salt. On the
side of the chapel. too, has been
| carved, with almost incredible art, a
view of Bethlehem
"It is rather curious testimony to
the strong religious feeling of the
people of the olden times to find to
the present day the majority of the
rooms and corridors are still named
after the saints and martyrs who have
figured in the history Of religion, and
even to-day the religious fervor of
centuries ago still seems to retain an
| influence over the inhabitants of this
| unique city of SALT"
