RESCUED BY A BASS.
How Fir. Bingwater Was Towed
Ashore by a Fish.
Angler Fortunately Gets Hold of a
Lively Black Bass just When He
Had Concluded That All
Was Up with Him.

you may call black bass wormy
and say they are not fit for white
men to eat" Mr. Bingwater was say
ing, earnestly, to a Bangor (Me.)
Times man, but just the same l want
you TO understand that they are
about the gamiest fish that swims.
and if it hadn't been for one of th6m
should not be here smoking ciga-
rettes to-day. Hereafter I'll stand by
the black bass and all their short
comings. 1t happened this way:
One afternoon early in the week l
got the craze and drove out to
Pushaw on a little fishing trip all by
my lonesome. l had my fish basket
and my tomato can full of worms
and an old rod which l picked up
somewhere about the house, and 1
made up my mind if there was any
fun to be gotten out of bass fishing
l would get it. l chartered an old
hat-bottomed punt, the cleaHest one
which | could discover in the yicin-
jty. and then | started out. / rowed
like one of the Pennsylvania Oarsmen
at Henley until | came over near the
point of Dollar island, and then l let
down the anchor and began to fish.
1T was but the work of two or
three minutes to put my rod togeth-
er. bait the hook with a worm and
throw it overheard. After that 1
waited. I happened to have brought
q little nockpt edition of Kipling
with me, and for the next ten min
utes l was deep in the story of the
Gadsbys. As l was in the midst of
the most exciting part l got bite.
q don't suppose that there is need
to say anything further in this connec-
ton. l played that bass with the hand
of a master, and some five minutes
later he was Topping and gasping for
breath in the stern sheets. As l took

to any work that came their way.
Their money was getting lower and
lower.
The girls found themselves the other
day without sufficient funds 10 pay
their fare home. No one would give
them employment, because they were
not known. Both were too proud to
apply to relatives for money, so they
set forth TO walk to Cumberland, sew
eral hundred miles away.
Crossing the Pennsylvania ferry. the
girls started on their long tramp. They
had not gone far before there were holes
in their thin shoes. The rocks on the
railroad track cut their feet. Then
they became hungry and discouraged.
Exhaustion followed.
Only as far as Newark could the girls
get. They drew up there weeping. Po.
lice Capt. Ubhaus, of the First police
precinct, gave them food. Then SB-
perintendent Smith, of the Associated
Charities, took charge of the girls. He
at first purchased tickets for them to
Philadelphia, but later he decided that
they would be no better off there than
in New York, as Philadelphia is more
than 100 miles from Cumberland.
The ChiIdren's Aid society, of New
York, was communicated with, and
consented TO assist the girls. 1t is
probable that an attempt will be made
to find both of them employment.
Should this fail they will be sent back
to their homes in Maryland.
The Washington bee., 1901-10-19

the bass off the hook and flung him in
the bottom Of the boat made disa-
greeable discovery. My punt was leak
ing badly and there was already quite
three inches of water in the bottom.
Moreover, it was pouring in with
greater rapLdity every minute. 1t was
only a question of time before the
craft would be swamped. As l can't
swim a stroke it didn't strike me that
the situation was a particularly pleas
ant one.
Il decided to toss my line in once
more for luck, anyway, and the hook
had no more than disappeared beneath
the surface when ii was seized by a
huge bass. who started out toward
shore, pulling like a mogul locomotive.
The water was rising rapidly and was
getting desperate, when I happened to
realize that here was my chance l
quickly made one end Of the line fast
to a thwart, and, seizing the oars, l
helped my friend, the bass, with all
the strength that was in me. At last
we reached the beach and safety.
THE bass who so fortunately took
my bait is still swimming about in the
clear, cool depths of Pushaw. I de-
cided that one good turn deserved an
other, and l carefully removed the
hook and tossed him back"
When Mr.. Bingwater finished an
awful hush fell upon the party and for
several minutes no one spoke.
why didp't you bail the boat out 81

BULLET IN HIS PRAIN.
Pennsylvania Man Says That the
Piece Of Lead Causes Him No
Inconvenience.

James Callan, an inmate of the Al

only man living and apparently in good
health with a bullet in his brain. He
attempted suicide on August Il, and
fired a 3S-caliber bullet into his head.
For a time he hoyered between life and
death, and no attempt was made to
probe for the bullet. Then he began to
recover rapidly. His mind became

Among the feats of wild man on ex-

this, and the spectators wrecked the

His physicians placed him under an X
