told the magistrate that Miss Sofa was
unable to explain.
Suppose she shows the magistrate
what she di1," suggested the police
man who made the arrest.
This was interpreted to Miss Sofa,
and she nodded smiling assent. The
defendant, who was an interested on
locker, moved back a bit as If he feared
the experiment was to be tried upon
him. But the interpreter enacted the
role of the man to be floored.
Miss Sofa, after the interpreter had
put his hand on her shoulder, as the
defendant is alleged to have done,
grasped the interpreters other arm
with quick motion, showed one of her
tiny feet forward and the interpreter
who weighs 165 pounds, was hurled
backward to the floor. The exhibition
was not satisfactory one to the pair
from the Land Of Cherry Blossoms, ev-
identity, for Miss Sofa sIgnified desire
to do it over again.
This time the interpreter scarcely
had touched the little woman'S lshoul
der when he was sent flying through
the air over Miss Sofas head, landing
or the floor with thud that shook the
room. The spectators, who had climbed
on chairs to see the exhibition of the
little woman's prowess, cheered, and
the magistrate leaned bac,- in his chair
and laughed heartily.
''She threw me even higher than
that" remarked the defendant dryly,
after the mirth had subsidized little.
Then he explained that he thought he
knew Miss Sofa when he saw her on
the street or he would not have spoken
to her. Despite this explanation he
was fined five dollars.

cANNIBALISTIC BLACK BASS
One Fish Caught Had 10 Little
Ones in It's Capacious
Stomach.

quote from the Fox Lake representa-
tive the following instance of cannibal-
ism on the part of black bass, says a
writer in Forest and Stream: Fred
Lorenz, of Milwaukee, caught Iii black
bass here in less than an hour on recent
Sunday. This may sound pretty heavy,
but it is an actual fact. He caught a
black bass that when dressed was
found to have 110 little black bass about
an inch long in its stomach. Talk about
dogfsh eating fry and spawn, it looks
like bass were about as bad cannibals
as any fish in the lake. 1t is possible
that the bass swallowed her own brood
of little ones to protect them from other
fish. but if so she forgotsto cough up
again and the brood was destroyed.
There is no doubt that the black bass
will eat it's young. Some writer's say
that it is the female and others that it
is the male which remains on the spawn
ing bed to protect it. 1t would seem
however, that in eating 110 small bass
this particular fish was acting the hog.

only man living who, attacked by three

Becoming reminiscent the other day,

"In the autumn of 1857" he said, "a

California. One Sunday, while out

Instinctively jumped back, crouching.

down my face, finally getting on top

TINY JAP GIRL GIVES

Accosted Her on Street.

New York.-Hiaso Sofa, a little 90
pound Japanese woman, who caused
the arrest of big, burly athlete and
professional sparring partner the other
night, after she by jiu jitsu had thrown
him fat twice on the sidewalk, proved
that the japanese art of s7lf-defense
was no idle fad. by demonstrating In
court the next day just how she had
fioored McCullum.
Miss Sofa appeared in court accom-
panied by an interpreter. The court
room was crowded. with spectators.
Miss Sofa was asked what the defend
ant had done to her.
"She say he grab her shoulder"
said the interpreter.
Ibid he say anything to yo-t?" asked
the magistrate.
"She say the man did" was the In
terpreters translation of the little
woman's reply.
what did you do then?"
There was an animated conversation
between the interpreter and Miss Sofa
at the end of which the interpreter
