breastplate is souvenir Of an excit-
ing kangaroo hunt in Australia.
sAll big game enthusiasts are fanail-
lar with tiger shooting, elephant shoot
ing, the chase Of the grizzly, Of the
boar and Of the hippo, but know few
men who have ever hunted kangaroos.
@Yet this is an exciting and dam
gerous sport. The kangaroo, when he
is brought to bay, win fight. He
jumps straight at you, like cat. and
with his small forelegs he aims at
your chest two tremendous blows first
the right and then the left-and these
blows, with speed and an accuracy
that no prize fighter could equal, would
kill you if they landed on an unpro-
tected surface. So you wear, for pro-
lection, this thick green guard, woven
Of native grasses BY native women.
"You hunt the kangaroo in SETS
Eight huntsmen compose a set, and
each set employs half dozen native
runners to stalk the kangaroo.
1.-THE kangaroo, on being stalked,
comes tearing over the plain straight
at you. He travels with the speed
of an express train, and he makes
great bounding leaps. One minute he
is crouched on the grass, the next he
is ten feet up in the air, and all the
while, remember, he is going forty
miles an hour.
Hence he is a mighty difficult OBJ
ject to shoot. If you fail to shoot
him, and If there is no tree handy, then
you must put your trust in your mat
ting breastplate- This breasfplate Of
mine, you notice, has dent in it"

CATCHING a TARPON.

]. B. Marshall, OF Iowa, stopped in
the city the other day on his way home
after trip to the coast. where he says
he caught his first tarpon. The tar
pom, he says, is about the toughest
proposition he ever tackled.
why" he said, II never caught an
alligator or whale with piece Of
silk line, OF clothes line or wire cable,
either, for that matter. but believe
would as soon catch one as a silver
king.
"You wake up in the morning with
the Gulf breeze blowing over the north
end Of Mustang Island, and bringing
the perfume stirred up by the Panama
Canal with it from the Isthmus, and
find the guide waiting for you. He
has boat waiting. He looks about
the color of Mexican candy, which is
about the same as mahogany which
has been too close to the fire. and has
a pair Of hands on him like a deep sea
lobster. You step into the little cookie
shell of boat and he rows you out
in the bay. The sun is beginning to
furnish the entire outlying coast peo-
pie with hot water, and you tie the
strings of a sort of sunb0nnet hat un.
der your chin and pull on big gloves.
"After awhile you feel something,
and then a fish about. the size Of a
barn door leaps out of the water and
your line begins to smoke. needn't
tell you about the rest, But, anyway.

be hauled in didn't care whether he

guess they use 'em for bait for tarpon
if they are under five feet long. But
that four-foot tarpon was enough for
me. surprised and shocked the
guide, guess. III that's too little,'
said to him, I'm going fishing at
