CAUSES OF DEATH
DIVERS AND GRO4ESQUE
EXpe. ience of Insurance Com.
panies Varied and Interesting.
HUMAN LIFE IS UNCERTAIN
Accidents Prove Fatal to One Person,
While Similar Occurrence Would Not
Harm Another - Some Unique Cases
Found in Various Places.

Human life. at the best, is uncertain; IL
is the slave and sport of accident. II may
be whisked out of this mundane sphere
by the mere scratch of pin, the pinch
of shoe. or the liberation of tooth
again. it maf withstand a railway col
lision, a stroke of lightning, and other
dreadful accidents with absolutely no evil
results. An accident that proves fatal to
one person may occasion nothing more
than bad scar and some little temporary
inconvenience to another.
The causes of death are. as the life in
surance companies understand, of the
most divers and grotesque nature. In 0s-
wego, n. Y. lived Ida Hennessey, a fif-
teen-year-old girl. She simply went to
sleep, and although physicians worked
over her for 175 hours, administering cold
baths and applying electrical devices, they
could not awaken her. Twice she opened
her eyes, hut only for an instant. The
last time she closed them forever. Dur
ing all the time the girl showed absolute
ly no sign of Illness.
Ida Hennessey thus slept her life away,
but death came 10 Gretchen Hcnsel, of La
Crosse, Wis, under directly opposite con-
ditions. She Jumped the rope 100 times,
was taken i'll Immediately afterward, and
died within a few minutes.
Mrs Kate Agnew is dying in her home
in Norwood, Pa. from a gangrene brought
on by wearing a tight shoe that pinched
her foct, while Louis Dishiner, ten
year-old Chicago girl, recently had
Shoe button removed from her lungs
without suffering serious consequences.
Shoes Caused Death.
Mrs. Agnew bought a pair of shoes a
short time ago. They were the same size
she had been wearing, but the shape was
not adapted to her feet, and after wear
ing them n day she discovered a slight
abrasion of the skin. The next day her
foot was considerably swollen, and few
days later gangrene developed. The shoe
button removed from Louise Dishiner's
lungs had been imbedded there for three
years, and was taken out by means of an
incision through the chest wall.
Elizabeth Kaign, sixteen years old. and
living in Philadelphia, possessed life
that hung by an exceedingly slender
thread. One day she discovered a small
f-AAEi, bA 2ANi Aip anu lhchEhAitSoiE p.Ihtu
il with her !ingernail. She thought moth
ing more of the incident for several days,
when blood poisoning developed. and in
short time she was dead At Altoona.
Pa, Mildred Burger, four years OLD, swal-
lowed a prize package pin while eating
peanuts, and died three weeks later. The
pin lodged in her throat and the doctors,
being una bic to remove it, pushed IL
down into the stomach Her death after
many days of suffering was the result.
Lee d. Hitchcock, farmer living near
". Y. recently died from blood
poisoning produced by scratch from his
pet cat, nd Anton Wallace, after suffer-
ing untold agony. passed away in La
Crosse. Wis, from the same cause, but
in his case 1t was brought on by an
liberated tooth.

Hackles Are Favorites.


81 have no use for the feathered or
winged flies. Hackles, made Of hair, are
my favorites. Always keep with you more
brown hackIes than anything else. They
are killers when all else fail you. Black
hackles are preferable for early morning
fishing and white ones for evening; yet you
might, while fishing with one of each ON
your leader, kill more trout in the morn
ing on the white. For that matter my
impression is that when fish are hungry
and feeding they Will take anything they
think is good-proyided they are not
frightened. When possible, FISH alone.
Be cautious and do not let the fish see
you. Learn to drop your flies on the
water rather than to make 4 splash as
they light. Don't stumble around on the
rocks: fish can't hear, but they are very
sensitive to any concussion in the water
and a Jar can be felt by them for 4 con-
siderable distance. A long cast is not as
essential as proper drop in the water
forty feet Is usually as far az you need to
cast from you. yet sometimes you want
to work at q distant pool which ncccssi-
tates a long cast, and It is nice knacls TO

foregoing you Will be properly supplied

eddy behind a boulder or a tree. He lies
there waiting for his prey to pass him,
and he rests easily in this pool, yet you
will often find them on the rifles. Cast up

oyerhanging brush, FOR he there awaits

Hooks for Trout.

Opinions vary as to The kind Of hooks
best adapted for trout fishing. Some
sportsmen prefer a Kirby hook, others the
Carlisle, others the Limerick, the Sproat.
etc. ! prefer the Carlisle bend-as are
these inclosed-that is to say, like the
hook to bend sideways. l have logical
reasons for my preference, one OF them
being that when fish closes his mouth
on this hook he is more liable to become
barbed than If the book IS fiat. Take
fiat hook and put it between you thumb
and first finger, laying 1t on its side, and
you can readily draw 1t away without
even pricking your finger; now take
Carlisle hook and try it, and you Will find
il will hook you-that is the logic though
il is disputed by many; yet ! have more
success with this bend than without 1t, and
that is why i favor 1t. You may have
difficulty in buying such hooks dressed rs
flies, but ! would advise you to use them
If procurable. Look out for the dealer
in sportsmen's goods. Don't let him sell
you artificial worms, bugs, or grasshop-
pers, for they are a worthless lot of
trash.
