A TRUTHFUL

FISHING IN THE
WATERS DEEP
NOW IS THE TIME TO CAST IN
YOUR LINE AND CATCH THE
BIGGEST HAULS OF
THE SEASON.

Al this time of the year the bluefish

ket. t course one can find an occasional
sea bass, s~heepshead and founder, and
At times mackerel are plentiful. And
there is a fair number Of Holsters. crabs
and CLAIMS. But the fish which in album
dance and popularity just now stands
at the head of the list is the bluefish,
az unless something unforeseen hap
r $ 1t will hold that place all summer.
She oplnlnns which are current re-
garding the bluefish are usually formed
In one of two ways. A long and pleas
ant acquaintance may be based on ex-
perience at the table. But this, after all,
affords only a limited insight into the
subject. Again, a man may with wet
and abraded fingers haul in a five or six
FOUNDER until the latter is within a dozen
feet of the boat and then see the agile
and glistening creature jump out of the
water, throw the hook from it's mouth
and return to the shades Of private life.
II a line that has a fisherman at one
end and a bluefish at the other is not
pulled in rapidly enough to stay taut the
consequences just suggested are likely to
ensue, and a vivid but exasperating ex-
hibition of a bluefish's pluck and agility
will be afforded. After all, though, moth
ing like symmetrical and complete esti-
mate of the character of the bluefish
can be reached without an intimate
knowledge of his private habits.
AWFUL TALES OF HIS ~FEROCITY.
Tn spite of the favor with which this
beautiful and spirited creature is gen.
orally regarded, those who have had a
good chance to study him tell awful tales
of his ferocity. The pike and shark en-
JOY rather undesirable regulations in this
respect. But a rigid and strictly judicial
investigation of the facts warrants a
suspicion that the bluefish outranks them
both in sheer cruelty.
Sharks are greedy and unprincipled
enough, heaven knows. But it can at
least be said in their behalf thai they eat
what they kill, and not given to slaugh-
ter out of pure "cussedness." The blue
fish, IN the contrary. Stays just for the
fun of the thing. When he overtakes a
school of menhaden he attacks one after
another in rapid succession. Some OF

The fact hat he had what is POLITICALLY
called a square meal only Is minutes be-

p~ropensities. He snaps at the nearest
mossbunker, takes a small morsel out
OF his unfortunate victim. and leaves
the mangled remains floating in the wa

the ne%ighborhood of a band of marauding
bluefish on this account, andthus give to
the practised fisherman a free tip re-
garding the whereabouts of his prey.
The bluefish eats from a quarter to half
his w weight in the course Of "a hours.
t is impossible to find a parallel for this
yoracity among land carnivora. More
than a dozen mossbunkers have been
found in the stomach of a bluefish. But
on the theory that he ate only 10 a day
during a season of 100 days the whole
billion of bluefish off the coast would get
away with an appalling numbre of men
baden in a season of four months. Such
a calculation emphasizes not only the
destructiveness of the bluefish, but also
the astonishing fecundity of it's victims,
which can ndure that kin of havoc
without any apparent diminution.
They do say, however, that the blue
fish will seek to avenge himself on his
human enemy if the opportunity offers.
Not only will he bite fiercely while being
removed from a fishhook. but he will
actually attack a man in the water.

could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bltters. she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures nervous

PATTERSON ON WOLC0TT.

The reason why Colorado and Denver
have not increased more largely in popu
lation during the past ten years Is the
brutal, coldblooded assassination of sill
yer by Wolcott's party.
The reason why it has increased at all
why its mining industry is active, why
Its railroads and factories are busy, why
its people have measure of prosperity,
is that the men and women Of Colorado
set their teeth when Wolcott's party tried
to crush them, and determined that they
would not be crushed. They had bit
ter struggle and a plenltude of sorrow
for few years. and they owed al; of it
to Mr. Wolcott's party. For III lit triumph
over adversely they owe nothing to Vol
colt or his party. They achieved it with
their own arms, their own brains and in
finite, painful toll.
And as Mr. Wolco,t passes down the
street he may see, even yet, some OF
those wrecked by his party who have
not been able to recover.
Does this Washington trickster, this
Newport exquisite, this Wall street
plunger, this would-be briber and bull
dozer in Colorado, realize that the g,ea,
gold camps of this state are peopled BY
the very men driven by his party from
the silver mines? Does he realize the
stern, unchangeable conviction in their
hearts to punish his party and to punish
him? Or does he think that he can come
out here with a Waldorf-Astoria sheer
on his lips and tell those men that they
ought to get down and crawl before the
ring of predatory political and financial
parasites which he serves in congress?
Does he think that the strong, intelligen.
manhood and womanhood of Colorado
will let blatherski.e in patent feathers
tell them that they ought to thank God
the Republican party nearly ruined
them and put many gallant heart in its
grave?-Rocky Mountain News.
