GOOD CHEER i,

Other days afore this here
Amt been bright or glad;
Jest about this time last year
Things looked pretty bad!
Ma was sick, and Charley, he
Cut his foot! l swow
Everything, it seemed to me,
Turned out wrong somehow!
There was Jennies husband. too, lost his place,
and
Had to send 'em stuff to eat. but the clouds rolled
by!
Henry found another job,
Charley's foot got we'll;
Ma up and raisin hob
In little spell!
Things looked blue back there, and yet all cleared
up again;
Happiest days ever had come to me since then!
World seems kind of tough Jest now;
Got the rheumatic;
Tother day I lost COW.
Don't know how it is,
But things sort of seem to jest
Turn out wrong for spite,
Yet Pve done my level best -
Treatin people right!
Lost my pocketbook last week; can't imagine
where.
All the money for the hay had sold was there!
Pretty hard to laugh along,
Pushin gloom away!
''Things can't keep a:goin wrong,''
So outsiders say.
That's all right for them that's Axed so that they
can smile,
But there's somethin spoils such songs every lit
tie while!
S'pose the skies may clear 4 bit,
As they did before;
Guess I'll not give over yit,
Guess III try some more.
What's that, ma? What's that you say?
Found my pocketbook7
Money in it safe? Hooray!
Clouds are goinl Looki
Sos my rheumatic, by goshi amt lame at all
That old GOVT Oh, let her 60; loss is mighty
smalll
(. Tell you what, when things are dark,
All you got to do
ID to simply, toe the mark;
Gkies'll still git bluel
All days can't be dark, you know; you can never
t.,.ss tell .,,..
By tonight It might net in for = splendid spell!
Good C'hser.

Mr.. Richie was about to retire when.
glancing out of the window which

the house in the rear, he saw some
thing move in the dim light behind
tall chimney Mr.. Richie screened
himself back of the window and
watched. Soon the object moved
again and Mr. Richie saw it was the
figure of man. He supposed the in
truder was burglar who had climbed
to the roof and was watching his
chance to enter the residence Quietly
withdrawing from the window Mr..
Richie got his revolver from the bu-
reau drawer and returned to the win

out the voice of Mr. Richie. The fig

roof. Bang" went the pistol just
as the man was dropping over the
caves. The shot was followed by a
loud yell of pain, and the man
dropped into the yard with a thump.
Mr.. Richie ran downstairs and out
into the yard The intruder was
grooming from the pain of a severe
wound in the leg. Why, it's Mr..
Knowles" exclaimed Mr.. Richie, as
he recognized his esteemed neighbOr
Mr.. Knowles groaned and Mr.. Richie
did not press him for an explanation
of his presence on the roof, particular

given him a deal of bother since then,
and the townspeOple are patiently

Lisle Spencer, a well-known young
man of WATERFOWL, S. D., has frequent
ly ridiculed the belief of some that
dreams come true" but recent ex-
perience of his own has somewhat
changed his mind. A few nights ago
he dreamed that a gold watch and
chain, which he had lost last fall while
hunting, had been found by certain
farmer living four or five miles from
Watertown. The dream made so
great an impression on his mind that
he decided to drive out to the farmers
house and investigate NOtwithstand-
ing his dream, he was surprised wnen
the farmer produced the watch and
chain which were covered with rust,
and which the farmer had discovered
in one of his fields only a week or two
ago.

sTUNA FISHING
And Trolling for yellow Tail" in South
ern California.

California.
Fishing at Santa Catalina Island.
Cal, is rare sport these days. and is
being hugely enjoyed by many sports
men The fish caught there are pecul-
lar to the country and one. the leap
ing tuna. is never taken anywhere with
rod except at this island. which ap-
pears to be it's rendezvous and it's
nearest approach to the shore The fish
is a magnificent member of the bon
ito family, ranging here from so to
$50 pounds, and from four to six feet
in length. 1t appears in the middle
of April in numbers, begins to bite
with the coming of the flying fish. and
generally stops biting about August
1. The method of fishing is to use lit
tie single-joint, eight-foot rods of about
twelve ounces. twenty-One strand line,
seventy-twO foot leader and an
O'Shaunnesy hook: to this is bated
a two-pound flying fish, two anglers
generally fish together, sitting in arm
chairs facing the stern, in a broad
beamed, sixteen-fOot boat, which gen.
orally is provided with a one or two
horsepower gasoline engine, or the
boatman rows. The yellow-tail, how
ever. is the fish par excellence of
Southern California. This is caught
by hook and line. The hook is baited
with a sardine or smelt and trolled
slowly behind a rOwboat in the shadow
of the grim, rocky cliffs which rise
abruptly from the sea. All the fish
are hooked from the rocks in smooth
but deep water. and when the strike
comes, and the humming of the reel,
the boatman pulls out to keep the fish
from the kelp, and the angler has a
struggle of from 10 to IS minutes, de-
pending upon his skill and the size of
the fish. The beautiful creature, sill
yer and gold and blue, dashes down
into deep water and looks as it comes
up like newly minted bar Of silver.
Its lower surface is silver, it's tail and
fins yellow, it's back an iridescent blue
1t is regarded as an excellent table
