to pull back but they we're caught by

The crew o fthe Andy, which con-

the nets out of the water and find the
victims alive. The fish are dressed on
board-that is to say, their entrails
are removed. On shore they are at
once packed in boxes of fine ice, each
box holding $50 pounds of fish. Next
they are placed in refrigerator cars
and whirled by fast express through
to Chicago, their destination. Thus
In the hottest weather the fish reach
their market perfectly fresh and hard

Now 1t is in the nature of fish when
they are prevented by any obstruction
from swimming shoreward to work
along the base of the obstruction.
Thus striking the small end of the
funnel-shaped pound net, they keep
moving farther and farther along into
its widening meshes until they worm
their way through the hole that enters
into the box. and so when they have
completed their journey they find
themselves trapped.
At the appointed time the crew of
the Andy lifts up the side of the box
net until it has forced all the fish into
one corner, then they are tossed on
the tug by ordinary dip nets. If the
Andy Johnson has secured ton of
fish, which is not an urllsual catch,
from one of its pound nets, it will puff
curling wreaths of smoke toward the
shore contentedly.

Negroes in the british Army.

In the so-caled British protectorale
of the Dark Continent and the Isle of
the Gentiles, the bulk of the true pro-
tectors is made up of dusky soldiers
and trustier soldiers. when they are
treated fairly, it would be hard to find
In the British colonies there has been,
until within a few years, in parts of
South Africa, very little of that sus-
picion and dislike between the races of
contrasting hues that the Texas Incl
dent has emphasized the existence of
in the United States. Some of the
most highly priced honors awarded
to military merit have been awarded
to colored soldiers of the Queen. And
such honors have been worn without
jealousy. 1t would be pity, for any
reason, should there be any lasting
revolt against this reign of justice and
fair play. 1t is, however, significant
to recall that the first marked viola
ton Of the happy understanding in
South Africa was brought about
through the visit to those colonies of
an American negro called Bishop Tur-
nerMontreal Gazette.

How Pronghorns Fight.

In the Washington Zoo l repeatedly
saw their manner of fighting, and was
made to realize how exactly each de-
tall OF the apparently harmless horn
mad purpose, offensive or defensive.
Tor which 1t was highly specialized.
Two bucks were having one of their
periodical struggles for the mastery.
They approached with noses to the
ground, and after fencing for an open-
ing closed with clash. AS they thrust
and parted, the purpose of the prong
was clear. 1t served the antelope ex-
actly as it does the guard on the bowie
knife or sword, for countless thrusts
that would have slipped up the horn
and reached the head were caught with
admirable adroitness in this fork.
And the inturned, harmless looking
points! had to watch long before
saw how dangerous they might be
"hen the right moment arrived. After
several minutes of fencing one of the
bucks got under his rivals guard, and,
making sudden lunge, which the 9TH
er failed to catch in the fork, he
brought his inturned left to bear on the
unprotected throat of his opponent.
who saved himself from injury by
rearing quickly and throwing himself
backward, though it seemed to me that
such move could scarcely have foiled
a dangerous thrust if they had been
fighting dealy duel.
| find further that in their fights the
wild antelope are usually struck in
this way. Mr.. McFadden tells me that
he has seen two bucks badly ripped by
rivals horn; one in the throat, and
the other in the side of the neck
close to the throat-Scribner's Maya
zine.

evening was getting ripe. The round
up was over and we had two months
pay In our pockets. Incidentally, we
both had wild yearning to put our
lips over glass of the villainous STUFF
that was supposed to cheer a man and
make him forget his troubles. We ties
our cayuses in front of the Green
Light dance hall and straightway pro-
ceeds to let the barkeeper know that
we've got coin in our jeans and wants
the best liquor in the house. And as
you know, barkeeps are mighty active
after they sizes up mans roll. In
about fifteen minutes Bill and had
six or seven adult potions slowed
away under our cartridge belts, and,
personally, l wasn't avoiding no ex-
citement. AS usual, Bill was quiet,
l leaves him standing at the bar while
l goes over and proceeds to advance
some superior and unasked-for knowl-
edge about a faro game running
directly in front of the bar on the
other side of the room. l stands there
fifteen or twenty minutes, making
casual remarks, and l am informed
quietly but earnestly by the dealer
that my opinions and presence are
not exactly essential to the success
and pleasure Of the game. At which
l foolishly laughs sneeringly and al
lows that he amt dealing a square
game. All this time Bill is standing
at the bar with his back to us talking
with friend, apparently with no in
terest in the doings. 1t was right here
that he shows his dexterity with
shooting iron. No self-respecting faro
dealer in those days would ever take
a remark like mine without resent
ment, and the words were no sooner
out of my mouth than l hears click
and sees the CLEAN of blue steel point
ed In my direction. But quick as he
was Bill was quicker. He had been
watching proceedings from the glass
behind the bar. Before Mr.. Dealers
fingers could press the trigger there
was a report and puff of smoke from
where Bill was standing. Then a pis-
toll fell to the floor and a right wrist
was shattered.
Before | could realize what had
happened Bill was tugging at my left
arm and whispering 'vamous' in my
ear. We sneaks out 'muy pronto' and
mounts our cayuses. But no traill

RUsTLING LIFE INSURANCE.
Not Bad Way to See the World and
to Study Human Nature.

After all is said and done, we life
insurance solicitors, do not have such
hard time of 1t, writes one of them in
the American magazine. We get a
drop of appreciation now and then,
which compensates for the rebuffs.
We know no boss and can go any,
where In the world we wish and work
FOR the same cOmpany-if we are good.
We can turn our backs on hard win
tiers and go S0uth-we can go North
where the cool lake breezes are and
leave our frineds to the midsummer
madness of "a hundred above"
We know how to enter a drawing
room and we know how to sit in a
farmers kitchen and discuss the price
of pork while the wife is trying out
lard.
We know lots of things because We
must, and possibly some which we
ought not to know, but men, women
and fate conspire to give us wisdom
and we would not quarrel with the
three of them for the world.
We are actors, essaying burlesque
comedy sometimes and often tragic
roles, but always holding ourselves in
readiness to smile when we may feel
like fighting and to weep when it
would be easier to laugh.
Nothing can disturb us and no hui
man being can bowl us over. 1t is all
the same whether you call us wise or
foolish, because we know how little
we know, which is the beginning of
isdOm.
When we are glad people will know
1t, and if We have the blues no one is
aware but ourselves-and the man
ager.
I have been taught lesson these
~ strange years-that honesty is the
best policy and, more than that,
have found out that the best invest
ment is honesty for honesty's sake
alone.
