II was an old shark fisherman, hav-
ing caught many OF these monsters ln
the Mexican Gulf, and had taken a
Florida Jewish and a tarpOn; and /
saw that work Of a similar kind was
before me now. The line jerked
heavily in my hand, then began to
run steadily. When about feet had
gone over the gunwale 4 stopped, gave
glance at the coil to see that all was
clear, and when the line came taut
jerked the hook into my first Jewish.
81 have every reason to believe that
the latter was astonished, as for a
single second there was no response;
then came a jerk that almost lifted me
from the boat, and the line went hiss
ing over the rail like living thing,
playing a merry horn llpe of its own
composition. Nothing could stop such
ish, and simply waited, while Joe
pulled up the anchor. When the latter
was in, l grasped the line and braced
back for the fight. The light boat
whirled around like a top, and away
we went, like a tug surging through
the water, an ominous wave of foam
rising high around the bow.
"a 10-foot shark never pulled harder
than this gamey fish, and for 8 minutes
1t was a question who was master

gaining 10 feet, only to have the fish

again, slowly making foot by foot,
hand over hand, taking a turn on the
cleat, Stacking and pulling, in attempts
to tire the monster-tactics that for q
while were of no avail.
"One of the tricks Of this fish was
to stop AID jerk his head from side
to side violently, proceeding that pro
duced an effect equivalent to striking
blows at the holder of the line-tre-
mendous jerks that came, one, two,
threel then one, two three!-then the
line would slacken as the fish rushed
up. And if took the line in quickly
enough to prevent a turn, well and
good; If l did not. the fish would turn
and dash at the bottom, making every
thing hum and sing.
"Givlng and taking, hauling and cas-
ing off, for 20 minutes, l was almost
satisfied that had done my whole
duty in the premises, when suddenly
the fish rushed up, and recov~ ring, 1

For a moment / saw a pair of eyes
as large as those of an OK, a rich chest
nut black, and then, with a tremen,
dous heave, the fish threw itself over
deluging me with water and half cap
sizing the boat. 1t was the last
struggle. l kept my hold, and with
another haul had the king of Pacific

what wonderful creature it was!
The experience of the moment, the
sensations, could not have been pur-
chased. 1t was worth going a long
way to accomplish. Imagine, you

Imagine this, and you have the jew
fish, black sea-bass, Of the Pacific
coast-a noble fish, gamey fellow.
1T has always been doubted that a
large Jewish could be taken on rod;
but during the summer Of '94 went
to the Jewish grounds one August day

Kindly Smile.

Mrs. Coke has the same kindly greet.
ing for every one, whether he be the
miner, blackened with the CRIME and
dust Of the mine, or in a higher sta
ton of life. She suggests to the parent
that in the home there should be i'm
portant training of the children, but
the idea is never advanced excepting in
spirit of kindness and of the broad
est kind of sympathy. Her love for
the masses is not simulated; it is the
Joy of her heart. She has paid the fent
for many widow and orphan; has
helped out so that the little ones may
attend school, and has provided the
mother with employment so that the
home may be kept together.
Mrs. Coxe's home, like her life, is the
paragon of modesty; she leads the
simple life" in all its real simplicity.
Her chief aim seems to be to assist the
poor and needy. She has no pet phil
anthropics; there are no endless calls
upon her time from society folk; there
are no wonderful gowns, no costly mil
linery; no splendor of jewels, laces or
sables adorn her person. It is not,
after all, the charity which she dis
penses that has won for her the love
and admiration of the toilers Of the
mines, and that of their wives and lit
tie ones, but it is the purity of her
character that constantly teaches a
beautiful lesson, not only to the mining
town, but to the world at large which
may study to its own improvement the
generous, unselfsh, sacrificing life OF
this noble woman.

these were that Mrs Ziegler had wired
Bryant of San Pedro for advice. The

about one year ago when they sepa-
rated.
1--WE have never been able to get
along" replied Mr.. Ziegler when asked
about his matrimonial venture yester-
day. "A man never knows a woman
until he has married her. 1 did not
know anything about my wife until
had been her husband for about one
week.
"She commenced her demonstrations
about that time and kept them UP con-
tinually.'
At the time of the divorce proceedings
in Tucson sensational testimony was
introduced by both sides.
Mrs. Ziegler started the action and
Mr.. Ziegler was named as defendant
The woman based her actions upon
about six different charges.
Jurisdiction of Child
After all the testimony had been in
troduced Judge Campbell granted the
divorce to the defendant, explaining
that there was no doubt that the pair
should be divorced, but that the testi-
mony of the prosecution had fallen
through and the defendants case so
substantial that the decree should be
given Mr.. Ziegler
The child was placed under the
jurisdiction of the court with the
understanding that the parents could
have three months custody of the child
alternately.
The result of the case so angered Mrs.
Zegler that she Immediately renewed
her threats to poison the child rather
than give Mr. Ziegler days possession
of her.
Skps in an Auto
Under the cover of darkness last Sun
day night the woman with the child
engaged an automobile from T. A.
Herndon, a chauffeur of Tucson, and
went to Jaynes, where she boarded the
Southern Pacific train for Los Angeles.
Although close watch was kept on
the woman after the elimination of the
divorce, her escape fDom Tucson was
made so well that no knowledge of 1t
came until she was we'll on her way to
Los Angeles.
Mr.. ziegler Immediately found the
chauffeur who took Mrs. Ziegler to
Jaynes and after brief hearing in
court Mr.. Ziegler~was granted absolute
custody of his daughter. Contempt pro-
ceedings We're at once instituted and a
bench warrant for the woman's arrest
issued,
Since his separation from Mrs. Zieg-
ler about a year ago Ziegler has been
employed as machinist In San Diego.
At intervals he has put i'm much of his
time as a chauffeur
