STILL AT CATALINA
Ernest Ford Waiting for Real Bi g
 Fish to Grow.

Ernest E. Ford of this city went to Avalon, Catalina island, carly this sum mer. and so far as anybody here knows he is stin here He went there to fish. Other people go there for various pur- poses. Some want rest, some go just because they have the money and can afford to. some go because it is the popular thing to do. and some go to get cooled off and see the wonderful submarine forest
 But asr marked above, Mir. Ford went there to fish, and he hasn't deviated from that purpose. He had no idea If wasting his time on sardlnes. either. What he wanted was a bis fish. soma- thing that everybody could see. the big gest one ever caught. and as much big ger as he could hook.
 He spent about a month foCling around little fellows that only weighed n couple of hundred pounds or so nd then he went in for blood. and real fish. He kept the local tackle dealers stock ing up. for it takes lots of rods and reels to make one a real fisherman. He went out in his gasoline launch every day religiously, and while he did not always find a big fish he always learned something. Finally he got an idea into his head that he wanted to catch the record fish. for be 1t known there is an anglers club at Avalon which hangs up a purse for the one who catches the largest fish, and it is no picayunish piece of money. either However, the money made no difference. Mir. Ford spent enough money for tackle to buy half dczen purs, s. It was the glory he wanted-and the fish. His father. pr. Ford had been Ike ping tab on the boy. and finally, according to report. tele- gfaphed him that he had better stop. But he paid no attention to the mes sage. Just kept on fishing and buying more rods. After a while the doctor joined him. He wanted to find out what sort of a game that fishing business Is. When he arrived Ernest piled him into boat and they have lived there ever since. They come ashore to cat and sleep and weigh their catch and then they are off again. The doctor has be- come even more interested than Ernest.
 One day a lady caught big fellow He weighed i3O pounds. The biggest ever.
 She presented herself proudly before the president of the club, but was in- formed that a lady was not allowed to comp5te for the reason that no woman could gan so big a fish without help,
Arizona republican., 1901-09-04

and the landing is part of the game. This made the lady mad. and it also made the male fishermen on the island mad to think that woman had caught the biggest one ever seen.
 But it only gave the Fords new an- bition. They went out earlier and they stayed later. They were determined to catch d bigger one if he could be found. Every few days they would bring in d big bass, but they couldn't get one over the 250 mark. Finally Er- nest dragged in big fellow that went Sl5. That gave him hope for there was only one man ahead of him. At last accounts he was stin second best. and it is feared the biggest fish haze all been caughi. But Ernest is not the man to lay down on a game, and it is co, fidently believed by his Phoenix friends that he will yet catch the big gest fish ever taken from those waters. if he has to stay there till it grows.

much as they once were, John Dryden Is
one of the most famed of English poets

Great Protector, as Cromwell was called
John, who was the eldest of IA children,
was sent to Westminster school and later
to Trinity, Cambridge. from which he
graduated in 1854 When very young, he
went to London TO live. On the death OF
Crom well he wrote a poem in his honor
but when the. house of Stuart was re-
stored to the English throne in the per-
son of King Charles IL, he also wrote in
the kings honor About 1867 the poet mar
ried Lady Howard daughter of the Earl
of Berkshire. The marriage was not a
happy one. Aboue 1868 Dryden was made
poet laureate of England. When King
James II. became king. Dryden Joined the
Catholic church. Many of Dryden's COM
edes and tragedies are so coarse as to
be unreradable to-day, although admired
when the public was less rerfined than
at present. His political satires were of
great service to the political party which
he supported. His prose essays and his
verses, however, give him his chief claim
to fame. He died May 1, 100. and was
buried in Westminster Abbey, between
