scene in "a Georgia Courtroom Which
showed the Judge, If Not the
Law, Was Respected

Georgia has stringent law for
bidding its citizens to carry pistols
on pain of FORGETTING the weapons and
paying fine of $50 or being impris-
oned for 80 days. Shortly after the
passage of this enactment Judge Les
ter was holding court in a little town,
when suddenly he suspended the trial
of a case by ordering the sheriff to
lock the doors of the courthouse
says the New England Magazine.
Gentlemen" said the Judge, when
the doors were closed, Il have Just
seen pistol on man in this room.
and / cannot reconcile it to nv sense
of duty to let such a violation of the
law pass unnoticed. | ought, per-
haps, to go before the grand Jury
and indict him, but if that man will
walk up to this stand and lay his
pistol and a fine of one dollar down
here, l will let him off this time
The judge paused, and lawyer sit
ting just before him got up, slipped
his hand into a hip pocket, drew out
neat ivory-handled six-shooter and
laid it with one dollar down upon the
stand.
''This is all right" said the Judge,
"but you are not the man l saw with
the pistol"
Upon this another lawyer arose and
laid down a Colts revolver and dol
lar bill before the Judge, who repeat
ed his former observation. The proc
ess went on until 10 pistols of all
kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon
the stand, together with $40 by their
side. The judge laughed as he COM
plimented the 10 delinquents upon be-
ing men of business, but added that
the man whom he had seen with the
pistol had not yet come up, and,
glancing at the far side of the court.
he continues:
I'll give him one minute to accept
my proposition, and if he fails, | will
hand him over to the sheriff.
Immediately two men from the
back of the court arose and began to
move toward the judges stand. Once
they stopped to look at each other,
and then, coming slowly forward,
laid down their pistols and their dol.

GENERAL HEALTH
ON ISLAND GOOD
FAVORABLE REPORT FROM GOV
ERNMENT DOCTORS-TYPHOID
AND MALARIA NOT so COMMON.

The health reports of the islands for
the month of September received from
government physicians by the Board
of Health, show the best general con-
ditions that have been SHOWN for a
long time. In all the districts the doc
tors report good conditions. DR.. A.
Irwin of North Hilo says: The best
1 have seen in five years" DR.. Atcher-
ley of South Kohala says that the
general health is much better than
usual" and this sentiment is generally
characteristic of the reports from all
districts.
The number of cases of typhoid, ma
larial fevers influenza, dysentery, ETC.,
is less than the doctors have reported
for some time, but these continue to be
the troubles noted. There were 43
cases of dysentery, of typhoid 80 of
influenza and 10 of malarial fever, in
all the islands, during the month.
With a single exception the physi-
clans answer in the negative to the
usual monthly question propounded to
them by the Board, rs tuberculosis in
creasing in your district" The excep-
ton is DR.. II. Wood, of Waialua, as he
has done for several months.

CATCHING DUCKS
WITH FISH LINE
SOME CURIOUS RECAPTURES OF
FIsH-TROUT ASSISTS IN RE.
COVERING PIPE FROM STREAM

On the Cowichan river, in British
Columbia, when fishing for rainbow
trout, l used often to be bothered at
evening time by the wild ducks which
came whizzing low up the rivers
course like a flash. Upon one occasion
my falling flies fell right upon the
back of one of these birds, but l con-
trived to snatch them off again without
the flies catching.
! On another occasion 1 was not so
successful. Having seen some salmon
in the clear, green water L had, when
fishing with a young fellow named
Robertson, starte trying to catch one
with minnow. When singing out a
heavy Devon minnow with my grilse
rod it struck one of thes ducks as it
came Whizzing round a corner, and
away the bird dashed with my bait up
stream like lightning. 1t instantly
turned the point of the rod in the di-
rection in which it was going, but it
tore the line off the reel like a salmon
for quite a distance before it fell into
| the water.
! Luckily l had on a strong new sal
! mon spinning trace. Once the wild
duck fell into the water it dived, and
for the next half an hour, while Rob-
ertsOn pursued it in a boat, ! played
]
once or twice, owing to its getting I'M
! der some logs, but at length Robertson
got it in an exhausted condition in the
landing net, and it formed a welcome
addition to our backwoods dinner.
With reference to catching water
rats l once was foolish enough to cast
at a water rat-but never again! My
point fly stuck into that little rodent
and with it he diyed into a hole in the
farther bank. OF course, / broke my
cast trying to pull him out again L
was formerly, frequently, when fishing
at a place abroad where there were a
quantity of snakes that used to swim
across the river, in the habit of cast
ing just for practice at their heads, the
only part visible as they swan. How
ever, he fly, even when it struck the
head, would never stick in, and l do
not quite know what l should have
done with the snake if it had.
Recaptures are often just as curious
as captures When fishing with my
brother in Norway l saw him, while
wading in a heavy rapid, recapture his
pipe with his salmon line as it was
rapidly being whirled off to sea. He
had a bob fly on the line for sea trout,
and when he cast accurately at the
fast disappearing pipe this fly whipped
round the stem by the bowl and into
the line again tight. Another curious
recapture was effected by a we'll
known police magistrate. When wad-
ing salmon fishing he lost his gold
sleeve link again on his salmon fly and
recovered it at the bottom of the same
rapid. The most curious recapture
that ever occurred to myself was when
fishing with e. II. d. Chambers of Que
bee in the Riviere Blanche. l landed
a trout and pulled it up high and dry
on to a slOping rock. Upon this it be-
gan hopping about and managed to get
back into the water again. Saying
"Confound you, you little beggar," l
threw the line savagely at it as 1 saw
it swimming off in the clear water.
The trout instantiv rose and took the
fly and was landed once more.-LOndon

COFFEE DRINKERS.

Moors, especially the merchants, are
inveterate coffee drinkers. The latter
sit in front of their bazars and drink
coffee continually during the day. 1t
has been noticed that almost invariably
when these Offee-drnkers reach the
age of 40 or AS their eyesight begins
to fail. At 80 they are blind. One is
forcibly impressed by the number OF
blind men to be seen about the streets
of Fee, the capital of Morocco. Euro
pean physicians confirm the opinion
that this is due to excessive coffee
drinking.
