THE many gallant sons of heroic
sires whose names adorn the
roster of the United States
army are living contradictions
Of the time worn adage that the sons
Of great men never inherit the qualities
OF their fathers. That the military in
stinct at least IS hereditary is abun-
dainty shown in the perpetuation on
the present army lists of the names Of
many old time war heroes who have
passed away.
The most notable instance OF this
Transmission of the military genius
and spirit from sire to son is in the
Grant family. While il may not be
given to other Grants to fill so large a
niche in the American Parthenon as
does the hero OF Appomattox. 1t can

was about 20 degrees or higher, and the
water was we'll aerated. This stream.

but the line is practically worthless for

The ny Is perfect but the hook lacks
strength, and the fish when hooked
may easily detach himself in current
or an eddy or by fouling the line. We
all know how 1t is done from our expe-
rience with pin hook and thread in

The japanese. however. have another
method Of fishing which may be as new
to some of our readers as 1t was to me-
1t is quite successful. They catch one
fish in any way they can and then
fasten the line securely through its
upper jaw, passing 1t through the roof
of the mouth aud out at the top of the
upper jaw well in front of the eyes
and then attach through the body OF
the fish not far In front of the tail

pronged barbless hook, which trails in
line with the fish and a few inches be-
hind. while it is slowly worked up the
stream by the fisherman. The theory
is that other fishes. seeing the captive
moving along as though feeding or per-
haps spawning. will pursue 1t and be-
come impaled ON the hooks. In point
