bag sideways in the water. and Ct course
miss all the fish. 1t takes two tugs for
drag. These move along SIDE by SIDE. the
wheels of each revolving just so many
times to the minute in order to keep the
drag straight. In the stern of each boat
stands a man holding one end of the
great net, which is about seventy feet
long. One side of this is weighted so that
when the two ends are simultaneously
cast out the net. which is three-inch
mesh. in order to let all the small fish
slip through, stretches cut like a screen
between the two boats: then the men at
the stern pay out the rope until the
weighted side is in about forty fa,moms
of water.
All this time the boats are in motion
and the net is dragged for an hour or
more. 1t takes four men and one boss"
to each boat, not counting the captain,
fireman. etc.
As it neared the noon hour everybody
found comfortable seat and waited for
breakfast; did not wait very patiently
either, for the salty air gives one a royal
appetite Great round loaves of bread
were brought out and sliced in no dainty
proportions. Upon pieces about inch
thick We're placed good sized rounds Of
beefsteak Another inch slice of bread
was added to this. Then the novel sand
witches, with an onion to each, were pass
ed around. After this-as we were com
pany"-an especial entree of fish prepared
fishermans style was served.
Now whoever goes out in a fishbOat, if
they have the good fortune not to be sick,
should insist upon having a dish of
p "Chespini.'' This is the way to make ii.
written in Italian. Translated, it says:
Put into kettle half glass of sweet oil,
one Glove of garlic, two large tomatoes,
two chilli peppers, one glass of white
wine; prepare fresh fish, cut in small
squares. drop into the sauce and cook
three minutes; serve hot" 1t really tastes
much better than it sounds.
Luncheon over, we were all curiosity to
the net pulled in. For this process the
boats slow up, the men take their places
in the stern, and the ropes are taken UP
until the "brails,'' or wooden portion of
the net, is sighted, then a few turns
around the gypseys of the winch are
taken, both ropes are then put in charge
of the tug furnished with block and tackle
on the boom of the main mast By this
the net is drawn up like a bag, then

For nine years he has held this posftfo>
and the fishermen look upon him as q
sort of godfather, angel and good friend,
which he certainly is Mr. Norris can
Jabber in patofs talk conventional Italian
or American and do some excellent pam
tomime In Chinese. 1t has been his duty
to see that each one of the $50 boats land
ing at the wharf pays to the State the
proper rent, which ranges from % cents
per week for the smallest skiffs to 81 a
week for the lateen boats.
Tt is said that sometimes when cons
tinued rough weather prevents a catch
with a profit in it, and some of the least
lucky drop off on the luxury of macaront
and eat just bread with their wine,
the wharf rent is paid promptly just the
same, and sometimes a few dollars
reach the oil-hardened palms when most
needed.
"And do they always pay back?" Z
asked Mr.. Norris, when 1 repeated what
I had heard. He was not anxious to dis
cuss the subject, but said that during all
his nine years there he had ''yet to find
one of the fishermen that would go back
on a friend"
There is profit too, for these men whq
live on the products Of the ocean, I am
told that when the weather is favorable
and the luck only fair the salary or profit
derived from the sales ranges from $40 to
$25 a week. OF course, this varies with
the different times of the year, and some,
like the rest of the world, are in continual
hard luck: but one watching the wind,
tide and moon and studying the habits of
the particular kind of fish he wishes to
catch will be rewarded. They say good
definition of luck is "good judgment, early
hours and hard work.

Fires Caused by Nails

~ PEAKING of insurance matters"
said a listener, II suppose the
0 plain, old-fashioned nail has caused
more fires in the big establishments
where machinery is used in many and
complicated ways than any other little
thing in existence. The cigarette stub has
played it's part. Ditto the cigar stump.
Occasionally sparks have fallen from the
6itchers pipe into wad of material cas-
lily ignited and fire has been the result.
Sparks have oozed out from smokestacks
and engines of various kinds with the
same results. And there is the match, the
deadly and dreaded match, the awful en-
emy of the men who are engaged in the
business of betting, If I may say it,

caused it's fair quota of fires in the
worlds history. Sometimes, when the
sulphuric end is particularly dry it is the
easiest thing in the world to start blaze
at the end. of a match. The slightest rub
may do it. But if the match is not in good
condition, If it happens to be stubborn
and unfit, the situation is different But
the nail is always fit. The only thing
needed Is for 1t to come in contact with

The following is an editorial
from w. j. Bryan's Commoner
1t will thoroly enlist the attention
of every MESSAGE reader who
loves his country and all who
want to see it really and in fact Il
government of the people, for the
people and by the people:
jeremiah gave to literature II
beautiful and striking figure when
in charging the children of Israel
with apostasy, he said:
They have forsakcn me, the
fountain of living waters, and
hewed them out cisterns, broken
cisterns, that can hold no water.
One is reminded of this forciblc
simile today when large number
of our people seem inclined to turn
back to the once discarded doe
trine Of empires. To compare
self-government with an arbitrary
form Of government is like com
pairing living fountain with II
broken cistern.
When the people are recognized
as the source of power the govern
mcnt is perpetual because the peo-
pie endure forever. The govern
ment then responds to their desires
and conforms to their character:
it can be made as good as they de-
serve to have and they are satisfied
with it because it is their own
handwork. If it has evils those
evils are endured because the peo-
pie recognize that they themselves
are to blame and that it is within
their power to apply any needed
remedy.
y government resting on force,
on the other hand, ever unstable
because it excites hatred rather
than affection and is continually at
war with human nature; it is in
constant antagonism to that uni
versal sentiment which is defined
as the love of liberty.
All history sustains the self
evident truths which form the
foundation of a government deriv-
ing its just powers from the con
sent of the governed. All history
condemns n political structure
which appeals only to fear and re-
lies upon bayonets for its support

His Ai1nent.

THE Ledger keeps talking bus
mess men" for the new City Coun-
ell. What's the matter with the
present Council? We are ont of
money, as the Ledger says, and
what can you do without the mon
ey! You can't have paved streets
even if the city had thousands
that matter is with the property
holders. The present City Coun
ell is all right, Mr.. White, and
you should cease your insinuationS.
We are Informed by those who
are in a position to know that the
affairs of the city were never bet
ter administered than they have
been thru the past year. BY the
way, didn't we catch the Ledger
saying something just like that
only a few moons sinccH
Oh, it's the city printing that
ais the Ledger. Keep that fact
before the people. The difference
between 10 cents an inch and 80
cents an inch last spring took the
printing from the Ledger and gave
it to the MESSAGE. That is the
whole thing in nutshell. Now
the Ledger wants business men"
on the Council. A few years ago
the Ledger man was on the Coun-
ell himself and when he saw he
could not remain member of that
body and get dig at the city
printing at the same time he re-
signed and put the city to the cx-
pense of an extra election. That
was a business man" in the Coun-
cil-and out again.
Really, now, how much does the
Ledger care for the prosperity of
Mexico if a little item like the city
printing will cause the editor to
cut so many Shines" He is hurt
ing his city, as the MESSAGE told
him several weeks ago.
And, keep it before the people,
the city printing is all that ails
him.

Thus far there have been twenty
two road bills introduced in the
House, none of which seems to be
fully satisfactory; rs a result the
Committee on Roads and Highways
has decided to report all unfavor-
ably and to recommend two Others
ms substitutes therefor, both to be-
come laws but leaving it within the
discretion of the County Court of
each county to decide which law be
adopted in that particular county.
