McNALLY
On the Presidents Outing.
By LAWRENCE PoRcHER HExT.

9TH Prisidint," remarked OFlynn,
'is havin' lots av fun,
Among tn cowboys an tn cubs, wit
bowie-knife an gun"
"Ye've spoke tn truth" responded
Mack, TITS jist tn life FIR him;
IT'S full av sport an fills his soul wit
vigor an wit VIM
But have we heard about tn way he
spinds his days an night
Surrounded be wilderness av bears
an wimmins rights?
He's up before tn break aV day, an
sneakin' from tn camp.
In stookins an payjamers. takes an
early mornin' tramp"
HE plunges in billin' spring. an
whin he combs his hair
He combs IL wit a claw that vance
adorned a foolish bar.
But tits tn sight to see him whin he
takes his mornin' shave
He uses cactus blades FIR that. to
show thin that he's brave"
'Rayturned to camp he thin wakes up
tn worn an tired guide,
Be giYin' him some upper-cuts an
punches. in tn side;
He thin proceeds to timber up wit
foils an single-sticks,
An on buckin' broncho's back per-
forms some circis tricks"
BE thin, th' guide has scrambled up
an dressed his nanny scars,
But, all at vance, in broad daylight.
he starts to seem stars;
TIL Prisidint is punchin' him, wit all
his manly might,
An if twas Irishmen ye'd say it was
a bar-room fight
But it's rot so; it's all in fun; tn
Prisidint, We know,
Delights in givln' to his frinds tn
solar 'oleXus blow;
An if they's anything at all that's
scared to his heart,
IT'S naygers, bears, an practicin' tn
slugger's manly art.
BE eight O'Clock thy've exercised, an
had their mornin' snack,
An, wit tn implimints av war, they
start FIR bruins track.
But not a panther. bear, nor cat can
anywhere be found,
An, in disgust, tn Prisidint rayclines
upon tn ground.
Now, do We know that, in that park
TIL silence is so queer
That men have often heard their
thoughts go bouncin' through tn
air?
Well, that's tn way TIL Prisidint pro-
ceeds to spind his days.
An wishes, wit TIN rest av us, that
they could last always.
TIL guide sleeps on, beside tn trail,
an Tiddy grins an winks;
Wit gestures gran an nanny mods
he thinks, an thinks. an thinks;
He thinks av Booker an av Crum, an
sadly longs FIR thin,
An wonders how tn worruld goes on
witout tn likes him.
But now tn sun is sinkin' low: he
wakes tn sleepin' guide.
An back to camp, both wrapped in
thought, they wander, side be
side.
Tn hardy guide is sheddin' tears, FIR
virry well he knows
That Tiddy'll tell him, all night long,
about tn nayger's woes.
'Ye ask me why tits always hard fr
him to find tn game?
Becoz tn Virry birds an beasts have
heard about his name.
tbs not becoz they fear his gun, they
keep beyond his reach,
Bue It's becoz they fear before he
shoots he'll make a speech"
AN so, perhaps, he'll come back
home without a panther's pelt,
But whin he comes, make up yer
mind, he'll make his prisince
felt"
1T seems undignified to me; tits fool
ishness,'' said Pat.
TITS nayther wan" responded Mack,
hes not a dimmercrat."

QUEER DEC0YS FOR FISHING.
The Hawaiian Fishermen Use a
Club Which as Scented With Oil
to Lure the Fish.

The Hawaiian Fishermen Use a
Club Which as Scented with Oil
to Lure the Fish.
'Lau mcdonnell" is what the Ha-
waiian fishermen call this decoy.
1t is made of the hardest wood to be
found on the islands, and is carved
and rubbed till it assumes the shape
Of club with little knob at the
smaller end to which the line is tied.
The club is from one to three feet
long. A village sorcerer performs
certain rites over it over a sacred fire.
After this is done, the club is magic
and the fisherman must be extremely
careful of it. If woman should
step over it or enter a canoe in which
it lies the club would lose all its pow
er and would be useless ever after
ward. rs
After the club has been charmed,
the fisherman mixes candlenut and CO.
coanut meat, bakes it and ties the mix
ture in a wrapper of cocoanut fibre
At the fishing grounds the club is
covered with the oily juice of the stuff
and is then lowered carefully to the
bottom. The scent of the baked nut
meat attracts certain kinds of FISH
which soon gather and begin to nibble
at the club. AS soon as enough fish
are around the decoy, a small bag
shaped net is lowered, very gently, UNI
ii! its mouth is just over the. club.
The latter is then pulled up carefully
and cunningly, till it is within the bag
The fish are so eager for the stuff
with which the club is covered that
they follow it into the net without
fear. AS soon as all the fish are in
1t, a fisherman dives and closes the
mouth of the net, whereupon the rest
haul it up quickly.

NEW YORK TOPICS
GOSSIP AND CURRENT COMMENT
FROM THE METROPOLIS.

j. j. Hill, and Others to Have the
Decision Against the Northern
Securities Merger Reversed-The
Big Western Railroad Magnate Is
Nothing If Not Frank-SOmetimes
He Has Said Things Which Have
Printed That He Did Not Wish to
Give Out, But His Confidence Has
Rarely or Never Been Violated BY
Newspaper Men-More Condolences
Have Been Broken By CIubmen
Than by Reporters and Cores
pOndents-How Captain CoghIan's
Famous "HOch der Kaiser'' Song
Was Given to the World.
New York, April 18.-The fight which
]. J. Hill and his fellows in the North
ern Securities Company have now en-
tered, in combating the decision by
the United States Circuit Court against
the Northern Securities merger, will
keep them all, and particularly Mr..
Hill. in fiercer public light than ever
till after the final decision.
Mr.. Hill, who has been in New
York good deal since the rendering
of the decision, is far and away the
most interesting personality in the
whole group, and this gives him more
publicity of a certain sort than even
his great prominence as a railroad
man and f1nancier.
Mr. Hills most engaging quality is
his frankness. He won't talk at all
without being frank. On a few &C.
casions he has regretted this, possibly
because on a few occasions words of
his have been given out in print which
we're not intended for the public.
1t is only fair to Mr.. Hill and the
newspaper profession, however, to say
that his condolences have rarely or
never been violated by reporters or
correspondents, as he once told the
present writer personally. The pub
licity that has been given to things
he wanted to keep quiet had mainly
been through fool friends" or per-
sons who heard at second hand some
thing he had said and gave it out,
either through spite or simply because
1t was interesting.
Many readers will remember. no
ago, Mr. Hill was reported as saying
at one of the big clubs there that the
present prosperity was beginning to
Wane; that the climax which is al
ways looked for when things have
been going very we'll for some years
had arrived. Now, whatever Mr.. Hill
said on that occasion-and he did say
something, though nobody really
knows just what's understood to
have been said to group of acquaint-
ances, in what he had a right to sup
rose was the strictest privacy. 1t is
always understood that what is said
at ones own club or at a club where
one is a guest. is said in perfect safety,
and therefore Mr.. Hill talked more
freely that day than he would think
Of talking with the notion of having
his words printed. He probably, too,
gave utterance to lot of speculation
such as anyone might in the presence
of his friends, not meaning to have
his words taken too seriously

In the competition under the man

Association for the Palma trophy at
Bisley, each team must have eight
members, who shall use the national
military arm of the country it repre-

said was intensely interesting, of
course, and some one FASTENED to tell
some newspaper man whatever he
remembered of it. The newspaper man
printed it, as, of course, his informant
wished him to-this latter is obvious
from the fact that the newspaper man
was told all.

little waves continually running up

He and Frances talked for an hour
of things In the earth, and the waters
under the earth; then he observed:
You haven't told me anything
about your club"
"The secretary is engaged. and the
treasurer thinks she's going to be, and
two of the girls said twas a silly old
club anyway That leaves only the
Griffith girls and me. They're going
to Honolulu next week. and I'm lone

voice which quavered out this last
admission.
There was no one to watch his arm
slide along the back of the bench, and
no one to count how many times his
lips, with loves insistence, took what
had been withheld from him so long.
They were walking up Pacific ave-
nue. when Frances asked:
do you think you will have to go
back to Arizona?"
NO" he answered, cheerfully; my
cough has greatly improved"
81 am so glad!" murmured Frances
with fervor which should have made
him ashamed, but 1t didn't.

REVIVAL OF THE BAGPiPES.
Two Young Women Are Looking for
ENGAGEMENTS.

Two Young Women Are Looking for
Engagements.
London society is threatened with
an outbreak of that eccentric instru-
ment, the bagpipe. Several novelty
seeking society girls have learned
how to play, and are on the lookout
for evening engagements. Rumor has
it that petitions will be circulated to
stop them, says the Minneapolis Jour-
nal. There is no dicounting the wave
of terror which the announcement
has sent billowing over London.
Everybody realizes that II the bag
pipe were once let loose in a private
drawing room the future of English
homelife would be seriously imperiled.
The two girls leading off in. this
latest accomplishment are the daugh-
ter Of Lord Archibald Campbell and
the daughter of the late William
Black, novelist and newspaper editor.
Both young ladies were instructed in
the noisy art by the best known bags
ter, IL one may invent the term, in
England or Scotland. His name is
Fraser, and he Is the man whom King
Edward recently attempted to lure
away from the Scottish regiment. with
which he has so long been connected,
to be private bagman to the king. But
the loyal Fraser decided not to break
associations of long standing.

"They form sort of ladder by step
