HOW TARPoN AaE T.AFFED
Vivid Tale Of Mastering the Fish
An Hour Necessary Before SL.-
cess Is Obtained.

The boat stops still; yonGer is
swirl on a wave, and gre.. fish,
with greenish body and iarcr
projecting fin, appears above il
il is a breathless moment. Loo.
out, dar," yelis Tom; there is
splash about 80 yards away, you
line becomes taut and is gliding
out like lightning before you ca,
apply the brake. When you G..
it is almost jerked from youl
grasp and simultaneously the tar
pom leaps and writhes above the
water again, says Outing. There
is no sight more beautiful to the
eye than that of the tarpon, like
CLEAN of light from darkness,
leaping forth from the green sea.
That moment when the tarpon
has the bait and you strike is the
one of all others most fraught
with intense excitement. 1t is thu
first crisis in the battle. He is
down again and your hook holds.
He darts back and forth, ever go
ing deeper in his wild rushes. II
is an earnest fight. The first ten
minutes seem like an hour. "Rush
'im, reel up, don't let him rest" ;"
following the advice, your arms
tire, your hands become numb, ii
may be bleeding and blistered, but
you save your fish. Thus you are
towed out toward the sea, always
fighting. In ais mad rushes the
huge fish gained on you, taking
out nearly 100 yards of your line
During the first half hour he has
decidedly the better of the fight
and keeps most of the line. Dur
ing the second half hour you gain
the lost line foot by foot and the
honors are about equally divided.
! Now the long rushes and leaps be-
gin to tell and he loses wind. If
he did not help to kill himself by
these wild rushes and leaps, you
could never land him. By some
kind of intuition, an angler can
tell when he has gained the mas
terry over a fish. You feel nstinc-
lively that the crisis has been
Ipassed and the boat turns back
| toward the beach; and as the
beach is neared you reel in and
| fight at close range.
/ Once he dashes almost up to
the boat and suddenly turns
about; you nearly lost him thai
time. You soon lead him back
however. Now he lies near the
boat; you see his cleaning sides
glisten in the light. "Stiddy
now," says our man, as the boat
touches the beach; you climb out
and, resisting his last wanins
strength, as he lashes spray upoI
you, you pull him out upon the
sand and the fight is won.

SEES WINGED EXPRESSES.
santos-Dumont Utters a Few Star
Ting Predictions Regarding Fu-
turs Transportation.

Writing in the new French
magazine Je sais Tout q Know
Everything), NJ. Santos Dumont,
the famous French aeronaut,
prophesies that before many
years have passed a complete rev:
olution will have taken place in
modern methods of travelling.
TranscontinentaI aerial ex-
presses will .'fy between st. Pc
tersburg and Paris" Men of this
generation will take their seats in
them as naturally as their grand
fathers did in the first railway
carriages.
Paris will be transformed by
aerial stations at which passer-
gers will aiight and embark on
flying omnibuses.
Winged warships will menace
modern fleets and wage war with
submarines perhaps put whole
armies to fight. Very possibly
some bold explorer will reach the
north pole without much difficulty
in a dirigible balloon.
"What would you say" adds M
Santos Dumont, ''if I told you thai
next summer l am confident o1
giving a new impulse to aerial nav
igation; that I myself hope to bt
able, before ending my expe
riences, to cruise over Europe
for a week at a time-without de
scending to earth-in yacht tha-
will be in itself a flying house?"

TOLD OF ABsINTHE DRUG.
Is Described as the "Fairy with the
Green Eyes"-Is a Nerve
Stimulant.

The ''fairy with the green eyes"
is the poetical way in which alb
sinthe has been described.
"It is rather a drug than a
drink" said medical man who
has studied its effects on the body.
GAS a medicine it has some valu-
able qualities; as beverage, it's
effects are simply deadly. Not a
day passes in Paris ON which some
inveterate absinthe drinker does
not drop dead either from apo
plexy or heart failure. Forum
ately, it has not obtained much
hold in England.
'The liqueur is supposed to act
as a nerve tonic and brain stimu-
liant, and SO it does when taken
incidentally. When thus resorted
to it gives tone to persons of a
highly nervous temperament,
and also has the effect of relieving
bronchitis by promoting healthy
perspiration But it should never
be taken except under medical ad-
vice. AS a beverage, avoid it as
you would poison. Much of the
cheap absinthe sold is adulterat-
ed with copper, to give it the char
acteristic green hue"

KAISER is A HARD WORKER
German Emperor Has Even a Yam
kee Millionaire Beaten for Siren
- uous Exercise.

An American manufacturer
who had recently been in Ger
many returned with a budget of
personal incidents concerning the
German emperor, whom he was so
fortunate as to meet several
times.
"As worker the kaiser beats
even a Yankee millionaire" h.
says in the New York Herald.
"Why, even on the morning of his
marriage he appo ared at The l.ar
racks at Potsdam at six O'Clock
to give a medal to a sergeant
major. He was then simply Prince
William, but to the officers, who
were astonished to see him al
such a moment, he said: 4 am
only doing my duty.' And later,
as emperor, he has said: Tt is not
necessary that l live, but it is es-
sential that l work.
"He never postpones any kind
of business, but settles every
thing at the hour appointed, even
tiloueh to do SO he has to take
an he"r or SO from his sleep. He
has m:tin it III e that even an i'm
perie' dinner of ten courses to so
peop.e shall not last longer than
50 W:nutes. In his bedchamber,
beside his bed. a brass q air
worth $50. he keeps a paper AMI
pencil. tat he may make a note
of anything that occurs to him
before he goes to sleep or when he
awakes in the morning"

BOND ELECTION.

The. voters of the city of Garrett will vote,
next Monday, on the proposition to issue bonds
in the sum of $4,000 to extend the city's
water-works system The proposition provides
tor getting water from Cedar creek. The ques-
ton has been discussed pro and con for weeks.
Neatly every wants water, but the people
are divided on the proposition. Some want to
get water at Cedar creek; some want to get 1t
at South Potawatome while others have other
ideas on the subject. Some want to issue
bonds and some do not. All are sincere.
The men have been asked to express their
opinions on the subject, and many have done
so. While there several women who are
heavy taxpayers, they have not been asked to
express an opinion--because they cannot vote.
But a woman who pays taxes has as good
right to vote on such subjects as has the man
who pays taxes, and the woman who pays no
taxes has as good right to vote as the man
who pays no taxes All are, or should be, in
terested alike in the question.
We have the opinions OF five women VINO
pay taxes, and would have had more, but could
not reach them by phone We give their
opinions in brief, as follows:
Mrs. Forrest f. Hyde: al am i'll favor of
the bonds and the Cedar creek proposition. The
old council investigated the matter thoroughly,
and then we appointed committee of business
men who have made a success of their own
business, and that is their decision, and am
willing to abide by it, We must have fire pro-
lection, and if we build up on, city, we must
y ,,,a ,uotar for ,,aruf1CtOriee -
Miss ALA Gregg: "No; l am not in favor
of bonds"
Miss Belle Cunningham: ono; | am not in
favor of the bonds under the present plan OF
going to Cedar creek. We must have more
water, but am not in favor OF this PROPOSE
ton"
DR.. M. E. Cunningham: emo not for Cedar
creek bonds"
Mrs. N. L. Bowman says she would vote tor
the bonds because the city needs better hire
protection, and if we expect the city to grow,
we must have water for factories

Railroad Legislation, but What Kind :?

Walter Wellman, in Chicago Record Herald
To enact some law is now of the policies
of the Republican party. To this extent the
President has triumphed. He has stirred pub
lie opinion to an extraordinary degree. He mas
reused the congressional leaders and the rank
and file in Washington Hence, it is safe to
assume that there is to be legislation.
But what sort of legislation? That is the
question. am in position to say that the
bie fnanciers behind the railway corporations
do not intend to surrender. They mean to
FIGHT. They are determined the power to make
rates sholl not be conferred upon the interstate
commerce commission or any other subsidiary
tribunal of congress. They are resourcetul;
they are alert; they are persistent; they have
their men scattered through both houses OF
CONGRESS- and in every important committee.
That there is to be legislation is probable
enough. But will it be what the President
wants. what the country wants? Will it hill
the bill? Will it actually effect the revolution
asked for CT taking the power to make rate
ont of the hands of the railway manager and
nuttino if in the hands OF the commission and
the courtsb Are the railway managers smart
enough and powerful enough in congress to
"6x" the proposed law SO that it will appear to
be all right and yet prove harmless from their
point of view? This has happened more than
once in the past. 1. may happen again. Here
is the real fight.
The confidence President Roosevelt teels OF
6na, success would probably be better based
"A in he
if they were willing to come out and say they
are unaterably opposed to the law. But they
are not fighting III that way. They say they

are substantially in accord with the President.
They say they have intention of placing
obstacles in his way. At the same time, they
are skillfully preparing to take the sting out of
any act that congress may pass; to render any
actual legislation wholly nnocuous.
1t is high time for the President and the
friends of real and honest railway reform to be.
come alarmed when senator's and representatives
who are fully known to be railroad tools 90 to
drafting bills That is the case to. day. Men
who for years have been the servants of rail
way corporations, who are nor their own mas
tiers, who are forced to move when the general
manager or the general counsel crooks his ell.
bow and beckons with his little iueer, are now
drawing measures for railway reform Beware
the Greeks bearing gifts
The greater ease with which a railway bill is
passed through committees and the two houses
o. congress, the keener should be the suspicious
CT the teal reformers. Ten chances to one.
bill that comes easily will not be worth having.
There will be a joker in it somewhete--a trick
the wrong wordthe fatal omission-the
negatiOn.
The Louisiana Lottery Company once offered
a million dollars to the man who could have
comma put in bill which was about to pass
congress. No one accepted the offer. The
comma was not put in, and the Louisiana lot
terry passed out of existence,
