Three Foolish Men

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Three
men, in an automobile, tried to ride
up the steps at the east front of the
capitol today. They reached the sec
end landing, sixteen steps from the
street, when the chain of the vehicle
broke and it ran backward without
accident. The man who acted as
chouffeur gave the name of j. d.
Hurlburt and said he was from De-
troit. Mich. His companions did not
give their names. but one of them
said he was a police commissioner
from Hartford, Conn. The chauffeur
was arrested, but later released on $40
collateral.

A country editor in Missouri, who
had been visiting large city, noticed
that the large newspapers made a
practice of using bulletin boards to

to have one of his own. So he placed
a board up in front of his Office.
The next day Deacon Jones got sick
and he placed on the board:

WHERE TO FIND BASS.
Just Now They Are Likely to Be Near
Old Logs or Tree Stumps.

From the New York Sun.
At this season anglers will find that the
bass have deserted the shelter Of the lily
pads in large measure. They have gone
instead to old logs. lying either exposed or
buried under a foot or two Of water. to the
neighborhood of old treetops half sub
merged and to the roots of stumps which
still cling to the bottom near shore.
The reason for this is not known positive
ly, but it always happens in late August. II
the stage Of water be normal-it is sup
posed that at this time certain larvae or
water insects which cling to the old wood
are ripe for food.
1t is a fact worth knowing because
man may now cast all day among the pads
or along their edges and get few strikes
or none at all. whereas two or three weeks
ago he would have found all Of the fish hid
den among the lilies.
In every year there are one or two weeks
when bass are not to be taken inshore at
all. and a man who casts for them as they
are usually cast for gets nothing for his
pains. At these times the fish are in the
deepest parts of the lakes or rivers, buried
away down near the bottom of the holes,
eating little, taking such live and tempting
food as is sent down to them very gingerly,
altogether undergoing period Of sloth and
fasting.
This is supposed to be due wholly to heat,
the water inshore becoming too warm for
tite out of them. This retirement to deep
water happens always during a hot dry
spell. when there is much sultriness and the
air feels as IL 1T were a thin wooden blanket
drawn about the nostrils.
Fish are not avid at such times. but the
angler who knows where they have gone
can generally get fairly decent string by
working for them and trying them wholly
In the still-fishing method with things that
are aliye-frogs, grasshoppers, crawfish and
SUCH
Still later in the year. during the middle
Of September, the bass will again desert
the logs and treetops for sandy shadows
that have rocks and pebbles sioping away
gradually into deep water. The angler will
get his strikes then and make his catches
by keeping his boat well out and casting so
that HIS lure shall fall just where the shall
low water begins to shade OF into the dark
ness of the deep. Probably the bass will be
from five to ten feet further in. but they
Will see the fash OF the lure and come our
after It more readily than II 1t fell nearer
to them with its splash.
In September bass like the sun, for the
nights are cold and the water Is at low
temperature through the day, and they WIN
continue to haunt the shadows until the
film OF ice forms over them and they are
forced Into winter quarters.

pose.
Word was telegraphed to Buffalo and
Mr.. Green went TO Niagara Falls South,
Ontario. where he identified the body by
the teeth. two crooked fingers, the neck
tie, and stockings. One OF the legs was
torn of. presumably by the propeller Of
the Maid of the Mist, near whose landing
it was found. There was no clothing on
the body, except the shoes, stockings,
and necktie. Il is supposed the other
clothing was stripped of by the action
of the water or maybe by the body
coming in contact with the propeller,
which It is supposed cut Of one of the
legs.
