Illustrated Sporting News: Many
fishermen delight In fishing for MEM
bers OF the pike family and there are
no fishes that live in the waters of the
world about which so much confusion
exists among fishermen as to their
proper names and classification; the
former almost rival those of the Cog
glehug" in extent and perplexity to the
layman. 1t would take several mag
azine pages TO make this matter clear
in detail to the mind of the average
fisherman, hence suffice Ii now to say
that when the pike is named the fish
with Hgatish spots, generally yellow,
on a dark background is designated;
when the pickerel is referred TO it must
be taken as n with irregular cross
bars or reticulation on the body, and
when the mascalonge is named it Is the
largest of the family with dark spots
on a light background. If the angler
will Dear this difference always and
clearly In mind, he will not be con-
fused ne gets westward and
hears the misnomer of "pickerel" for
the true pike, and pike for the pike
perch or wall-eyed pike. Nor when
he gets across the Canadian order TO
meet with the last-named fish under
the name of dore and in some of the
provinces TO find 1t bearing the name
of ''pickerel," as 1t does among the
market fishermen Of the Michigan
shores of Lake Huron. To render con-
fusion worse COMPOUNDED, the name of
the ~mascalonge is spelled and pro-
nounced in so many different ways
that the identity of it is almost lost in
the maze of nomenclature and ortho-
graphy that enfolds it.
Trolling is the usual method followed
for securing all the fishes of the pike
family. of which there are five: the
three fishes above mentioned and two
small pickerel, one living exclusively
west of the Alleghenies and the other
solely east of the same range; neither
of which, however, grows above a
pound or exceeds twelve inches I'm
length. The troll is near the surface,
as a rule, and midwater and bottom
trolling is frequently very successful.
The latter method is done by having
your boatman row slowly and feeling
the bottom with a heavy sinker, three
feet above which a three or more feet
of gut leader is attached, and to the
end of that the bait, a live minnow or
a free spinning spoon. Still, fishing
for pike when you know their haunts
is, l think, the most delightful way Of
boating them.

Count Sasari made himself pleasant
to his new friends. When he called on
Lady Bysshe she told him that her
niece had caught a chill. "She stayed
too long in these damp cloisters. AT
another time | should not feel SO anX-
ious about this cold, but now l am
alarmed at her slightest silment, for
her health has been undermined by a
shock she received some little while
ago. Perhaps. my dear count, you
would be kind enough TO recommend
me a skillful doctor, whom / could con-
suit about her general condition." she
suggested.
Sasari paused before answering as il

said, There's a doctor living in the
suburbs beyond Portua Nuoya who /

colonel and the line of men at COM

1t Is recorded that the colonel swore
great oath. That may have attracted
Bllly'S attention, for he seemed to rec
ognize the colonel as an old friend. He
went up to him, and the colonel, to
save his dignity, had to retreat to the

L WAS a bright spring morning, the
Saturday preceding Easter, and
within the great Cathedral Of
Palestine scene of wild enthusiasm
and fanatic turmoil was taking place.
1t was the occasion of the Greek cere-
mony of the descent of the Holy Fire
in the sacred tomb.
The immense building was filed
with pilgrims from all countries. pee-
pie of every. race and tongue. These
devOtees were in no calm state of
alteration, but in one of almost wild
excitement. They were moving around
the center chapel known as that of the
tomb, half dancing and half running
in broken procession. This was con-
sidered by them to be an acts of
worship, but 1T appeared to the spec
tator not unlike some Indian war
dance
The enthusiasts in this tumultuous
assembly were shouting furiously, cry
ing out strange Arabic words. Their
fierce countenances, flushed with ex-
element, and the fire of fanaticism
which cleaned from their eyes as they
cried out, beseeching the fire to de-
scend from heaven, added to the great

men took off their wellworn campaign
hats
After that you could see him wan
dering in day dream along the mar
row streets of Vigan or in the ada
cent fields, sometimes stopping to
browse in an distracted sort of way;
coming and going when and where he
chose, like the sacred oxen of Benares.
AT first Billy retained his simple,
modest bearing. He rubbed noses with
his old comrades in the ranks and Wis
tied the picket lines daily He still
greeted all corners in his old spirit of
democratic good fellowship from the
general down to the latest recruit in
the rear ranks.
But there came a change. Gradually
it dawned on Billy's ponderous intel
lect that he had become pretty much
of a big gun, that he wasn't an ordi-
nary plug to be met with any day, and
he decided to stand up for his social
rank. He began by refusing to mess
with the other horses. In this he
gained his point The men made the
mistake of submitting at once, and
thus irreYOcably bound themselves
down to the rulings of his tyrant will
They gave him separate feed stall.
Then he insisted on green grass
mixed with oats twice a day, and again
the boys bowed to his will. Thence
forth detail of men had to hustle
Ieed Tor Billy daily. Thus he had them
IN his grip. After that they had to
hurnor his every whim.
1t was not long before Billy made
himself obnoxious to Americans and
natives alike. One morning he staIked
into Company ES mess quarters Just
at mess call. The boys tried to per-
suade him that he had got into the
wrong place, but Billy obstinateIy re-
fused to take that point of view. In
fact, he got quite indignant, especially
when he noSed about the big cauldron
Of hot soup, which he upset and there
by split half the flimsy boards of the
floor. He ended up by Topping down
on couple of cots which splintered
beneath his weight like match boxes.
When he finally departed, much dis
gusted, he left behind him a weeks Job
of repairing.
The natives made their first mistake
in offering Billy bits of brown sugar
and tufts of choice turnip leaves.
Finally, he grew to consider these
dainties his just dues, and when they
were not forthcoming at the moment
he wanted them he did not hesitate to
walk into the stores and help himself.
not only to sugar and turnips, but to
any other stock on hand that pleased
his fancy.
If you kept a store built of light
bamboo, you would not like a big cav
airy horse to come in and walk about
the place, sampling your goods The
native storekeeper objected, but Billy
never considered their feelings. He
did as he pleased, and if the door was
too small he didn't mind widening it a
