BLACK BASS. THE TIGER" OF
 THE WATERS.


 The black bass is called the tiger of the waters" because of his ability to defend himself from enemies, and his ferocious and greedy assault upon ev- cry livng thing within his reach that is small enough for him to swallow. Nature has evolved the gullet of a big-mouthed black bass to be more capacious than that of the whale said to have engulfed Jonah. The throat of the cetacean heralded by Biblical tradition could not have swallowed even a parlor tennis ball. whereas that of five-pound black bass of the big mouthed variety can gulp down with ease and gusto the head of a three months old baby.
 The fin on the back of a black bass is dangerous weapon of offense and defense; the strong and sharp bony spines in 1t are as murderous as a spear. Many fish that venture too closely to the spawning bed of the bass are gash- ed and ripped with these lance-like projections The greed of the black bass Is enormous-when he feeds he gorges. I have had them take an artificial fly, rising fiercely to the sur face of the water with half of a three inch carp minnow sticking out of their mouths. The stage of repletion seems an unknown quantity to them, for have seen more than one of the small mouths swim leisurely up to a min- now, which was impaled on a hook, and take 1t slowly in their mouths and then spit 1t out. They repeated the operation several times in succession, apparently gauging their stomach ca pacity, while purring and playing over the victim much as cat does with a mouse.-William C. Harris, in Illus trated Sporting News.

was with a sort of desperation that stopped there at all, as I didn't expect to sell anything.

I reflected, and looked up my map to lo- cate the dry spots of Scott county. was right. I consulted my calendar to see If 1t was Sunday instead of Tuesday, as was my impression. and Iound that was right again. But the town was as quiet as a graveyard at midnight and not a single person could be seen While was trying to solve the state of affairs, the silence was broken by perfect roar of cheers which went up from the far side of the town. I reckoned at once that there was ball game on, for the roofing was so strong that a bunch of cattle feeding on a hill fully a mile distant broke into dead run. I learned after wards that Barney Watts had knocked a home run, bringing In thereby two men, thus tying the score between the rival teams. the Lincolns and the Jacksons, the

The little boys followed me around town while I was dealing out instructions to the players as if I were brass band in itself.
 Well, when the game O. that afternoon was called my tension was up to about the bursting point. I knew that the Jacksons were screwed to their very best and intended to fight the game at every point. They were first at the bat, but they got only one hit, which did them no good. The Lincons brought in one run through the work of one of the weak est men on the team. 1 just simply could not root, was strung up to such high pitch. I tried hard enough, but my voice sounded like the scraping noise of a cricket.
 After that the Jacksons began to pull together better, and at the close of the seventh inning the score stood to In favor of the Jacksons. Things were look ing blue for the Bincolns. Neither side made single run in the eighth and the Jacksons none in the first of the ninth. It was up to the Lincolns to make a star play The first man got his base on balls, and the second by a long drive to center reached second But the two following men famed the air, and the crisis of the entire game was fastened upon one man.
 Barney Watts came next to the bat, and he was the pest lOIB ulSldIlCe hi1teA of the club. A strike was called on him, and the rooters for the Jacksons at the opposite side of the field roared sec- ond of the same kind and they fairly split the air. But Barney was just biding his time He had the nerve of Napoleon, for the next one that came up, instead Of striking at it as any ordinary man would have done, he let it pass and the umpire yelled out 'B-a-l-l.' It took courage to do that and I resolved right there that If I ever got the chance would boost Bar ney for place in the National.
 Everyone held his breath as the pitcher drew back his arm to deliver the next ball. Barney stood as straight and motionless as a statue. As the leather shot through the air, coming direct for his shoulders, my blood stood still in my veins. Barneys stick swung back and l knew on the in stant that 1t was one of hls kind. When he hit the ball my knees gave out from under me- and I sank to the ground. How ever, I kept my eyes on the leather and saw it shoot out over the field consider able distance out of reach of the left fielder and land among some cows on the other side of the rail fence that marked the limits of the ball field in that direc- tion. 1 recovered my feet as Barney struck home, the other two men having come in before him. The Lincoln rooters gave one last and rousing cheer, for the game, without a doubt, was theirs
 ''I was too weak in the knees to do much handshaking, but I managed to get off the field and to the little hotel at which I was stopping, where a bracer put me on the start to recovery. But the strength

The blonde received a present. It was nothing strange. for she frequently had such things imposed upon her. But this time it was from the real fellow, he who wanted some day to do her marketing, to pay her hat bills and be henpecked. But the present came out
 Naturally the first thing she did was to write a perfectly sweet little note thanking him. Then she telephoned the brunette Both very natural actions. But long before she did either she talked. As usual.
 "I do really believe he is the darlngest man alive. I could just love him to death. And isn't that chahng dish just lovely. I vow itss the cutest thing I ever laid my eyes on. And won't we have some perfectly darling times with it. Just he and I. If there is anything l do love it is chafing dish. And oh! I'll learn to cook some of the swellest dishes you ever ate. I'll learn to make a Welch rabbi He loves them better than anything else on earth.'
 And then comes the note.
 My Dear Mir
 Your perfectly lovely gift came this aft. Truly 1t is the loveliest chafng dish I have ever seen, and I am just perfectly happy. We will enjoy 1t together some time soon How sweet to remember me so exauisiteiy. It was just the thing I wanted above everything else, and I love it, and will cherish it. not alone for itself, but for the giver as well.
 And now I must bid you au revoir, as I am to dress to go the theatre to- night. I shall always remember you.

 "The pressure was a little too much for you old man." said 1 to him. I don't blame you at all for the condition that you are in, as 1 am just on the fence my self
 You think I'm crazy, don't you? tell you that we've lost that game he fairly yelled in my ears, and then grabbed me by the arm and began dragging me up the street I used some athletic phrases on him, but to no avail, and l was too weak to resist.
 He pulled me Into an alley where & large crowd was assembled around a COW. DO you see that ball?' said the mayor. that's Barney's fly, and the umpire says that those last three rounds don't count.
 Tt took just ten minutes for me to real ize the situation. There was the ball sticking on the cows horn, having never touched the ground The umpire declared that as the left fielder had put his hands on the ball before anyone else had touched 1t Barney's fly had been caught, thus leaving the Jaoksons the winners.
 T simply keeled over right there be- cause of the condition l was in. When 1 regained my senses at the hotel where l had been carried, 1 learned the worst part of the whole affair." and that was that the COW which had done all the mischief be- longed to the mayor. When his boy was taking the cows home he noticed the ball on the horn and not knowing the trouble he was about to cause his father, called the attention of one of the Jackson sym pathizers to 1t. The latter ordered the boy not to touch the ball until he re- turned. When the Jackson man came back he had the umpire and the left field CT with him. and the fielder copped the ball, which had not been found after Barney had made the hit. According to the rules of those days the umpire's de- cision was right
 "I lay at the hotel for three days with a raging fever, and did not regain con sciousness until Tuesday of the next week, when I orderd them to help me get to the depot, for l saw that the longer I remained in that town the worse it would be for me. The landlord was kind enough to buy me ticket. Once out of the atmosphere of that burg l began to feel better. I stopped off at the next sta ton and telegraphed my firm. but a reply came that had been replaced by another man. I was fortunate enough to secure another job. however, but it was several months before I had the heart to go at my work in the old way"

BASEBALL
BY cY BURT.

"There is nothing quite so inspiring as a mixture of baseball and politics." said Colonel Hawkins stroking his goatee until 1t looked like the weather end of light ming rod. T have never witnessed more than one incident of the kind and that one took place while I was drumming for a Kentucky whisky firm. Although 1t cost me my job and several thousands besides I was sorry. mighty sorry, when it was over. And it wasn't for day either, nor for two days, but it was just one round sizzling week from the time that I first set foot in that town until left it with tears in my eyes and not single sou in my pockets. I never felt so bad in my life as did on the day that I tore myself from that burg, for all the rest of the world seemed to me like one cold, dark Hank.
 You see, 1t was this way. The day I entered that town the blue devils were chasing me in good style, for my sales had not been what they ought, and it

Lost Pearls.

 Honesty as the best policy has received a shock in New York, where the 5000 reward offered for a $2O,oO0 pearl neck lace was reduced to pitable S100 by tho recoverer. MT. Hoyt pleaded the expense to which he had been in ad- vertising this lost string of pearls! Well, advertising may come high, though not quite so high as all that, and careless ladies w-o drop their jewels in Fifth avenue and elsewhere, in future, need not now expect to have them returned by the finders. But why Innst women wod. pearls in the streets fancy this pearl necklace episode, together with Miss Van Alen's loss last winter In the Holland house, will cast blight on the fashion, for gen uine and artificial pearls are getting sadly mixed in high society, and the truth comes out when they slip into the street. 1t may be recalled how Mime.

 Of coutse the brunette read the note. She asked questions.
 What is the half hours devotional service?" was her first.
 'Why, every afternoon he calls me up and we talk for half an hour. We call that devotional. It certainly is. I can't stand him, but then he sends Just per fectly lovely presents, and bushels of flowers and tons of candy. The other boys come up here and eat his candy and wear his flowers, and laugh at him."
 And then this Is what I heard at one of the telephones:
 'Myl But I can't. haven't anything to wear. My white dress Is in wash and won't be back until Friday and my blue is perfectly filthy and would never do to wear any where. But what would he think if he saw me in that green? don't like the red, and that black makes me look too much like a widow. The cream is perfectly lovely. but mamma says 1t does not suit my complexion. That Nile green just fits my hair, but the yoke isn't gored right. And then the tucks in my lavender silk are not pressed. 1 simply haven't got any clothes. l will have to stay home all summer"
 There was something said at the other end.

 Something else said.
 Well, would never speak to him again. I don't like him any way. He always wants to kiss me"

 "But you ought to come over and see my chafing dish. I am going to give a chafing dish party next week. But haven't got anything to wear. You ought to see my new pink silk. And that black and white dress has just come up from the store. It's darling"
 And she clasped her hands in admira- tion. and gasped. In the meanwhile spasm No. 3 from other end.

For weeks the singer mourned the lovely bauble, and finally concluded she would never see it more. One day the pearls came back, brought by a man who ex- amined tho debris collected by the street cleaners. The necklace had been found in the gutter, where Mme. Nordica had dropped it as she hurried to descend from her carriage. All this time it had been concealed among the scrapings of the street, likely to be crushed or swept into the sewer. But the singer is one of fortunes favorites, and these marvellous pearls and she were not to part so easily.
