To carry to a successful termination
what one starts to do Is what success
really is and means
s.::The correct definition Of success is

Hard work must become a habit be-

BLACK BASS ARE SCARCE.
Not For Many Years Has Fishing Bees
SO Poor NJ This season.

Whit has become Of the big black
bass in the Potomac Riveris problem
that the anglers are unable to solve.
Not for many wears has fishing been
SO poor at this season Of the wear.
with tile water in such good condi-
tion. Anglers have tried their hand
up the river fer bass Of the small
mouth variety and down the river for
big mouth bass. They have returned
from both places with the same story.
With but few exceptions the anglers
have had poorer luck this season than
usual. and those who have made CATCH
es have complained of the size of the
fish, The best catches reported this
season were made in the canal near
log wall level, a short distance below
the Great Falls.
Porch fishing has been exceptionally
good this fall, white perch being par
ticularly plentiful
Some of the anglers are under the
i'm preston that the scarcity of bass is
due to the presence in the river of so
many big Mississippi catfish. These
fish have been caught in large num-
bers up the river, where the water Is
very swift, and some anglers think
there is as much sport in landing them
as there in taking bass from the
| river

Burton II the Field

Washington, ID. G., Nov. 1.-THE
trends Of Representative Dalzell are
encouraging the candidacy Of Mr..
Babcock in the speakershiD contest to
divide the vote of the West, which is
now inclined to go TO Mr. Cannon,
who is still the leading candidate.
Representative Babcock said If
the Democrats had won the House it
would have signified that the people
wanted no tariff revision for the next
two years. as it would have been inn
possible to accomplish anything in
that direction with a Democratic
House and Republican Senate. The
people expect the next Congress to I'M
dertake tariff revision, and they expect
the work to be done on Republican
principles. .
DALZELL HAS A GOOD NUCLEUS.
AS the contest is now shaping Mr..
Dalzell will get the solid support Of
Pennsylvania and a large part of the
New York delegation and part of the
Ohio delegation. Mr. Cannon will
have his own State. part of Ohio, In
diana aud part of Iowa The rest OF
the middle West and the far West ii
is expected, will be divided between
Mr.. Cannon and Mr. Babcock.
Mr. Littlefield has returned from
the Pacific coast. and will begin an
active canv ASS. He expects some SUD-
port from California and Oregon, where
he has been a prominent feature in the
campaign just closed.
BURTON AS A DARK HORSE.
Representative Burton, of Ohio, may
enterSthe contest for the Speakership.
and his friends declare that he is a
very promising dark horse'' III Ethe
race. They say he would probably re-
ceive strong support from the New
York and Pennsylvania delegations in
case neither Mr. Dalzell nor Mr.. Sher-
man should win the prize. The Ohio
delegation has thus far put forward no

backing of that delegation, which, he
would be likely to receive. would give
Mr.. Burton start in the contest. He
might also gam some support from
Western delegations that are now
counted for Mr.. Cannon.
Mr. Burton is one of the strong and
influential members of the house.

tative of the Cleveland district foi
