to the faculty just before his graduation
for the offense Of swearing in the college

what was called a public admonition. The
faculty. In consideration of his excellent
scholarship. instead Of the ordinary pun
ishment, directed that Prof. FELTON, should
admonish his brother in private.
The professor was some eighteen or
twenty years the elder. and was respected
by his brother rather as a father than as

Mr.. Hyde started out at a. m. 20 do a
little trolling and to whet his appetite for
the breakfast which he proposed to catch
He padded of opposite his private camp

trolling line out its length when the strike

1t was apparent that there was big fish

few minutes later the big fish went
into the air. nifty yards away. and for a
full hour from that time Mr.. Hyde simply
held on. Time and again the salmon left
the water in savage. determined leaps, but
the tackle held fast and taut line kept
the Ssh moving.
Then the pace began to tell and twenty
minutes later the salmon was brought near

heart palpitation. He was prepared TO see
big fish, but not the monster that was
lighting thirty feet away. Ten minutes
more OF hattie and the task OF landing
began.
At first Mr.. HYDE thought OF the landing

useless. Then the possibility OF shooting

the fish by forced rushes and then made

Easterling's blood was up and he was de-
termined to catch the prize. He grasped
an empty barrel lying near and succeeded
in getting the monsters head in 1t, and
ropes were then speedily fastened about
him and he was hoisted aboard the car and
brought to town and placed in a local zoo.
He did not seem to like his surroundings,
however, and started to commit suicide by
eating himself up. beginning on his tail,

Angler and Human Fish.
Two remarkable angling stories come
from Durrus, in Cork county, Ireland
vouched for by the Cork County Eagle. one
relating to the attempt made to land a
police constable by means of a salmon fish,
ing rod, and the other to the strange ex-
perience which befell DR.. Orr. a Huddes-
field surgeon, in the same place.
DR.. Lewis, the medical officer OF Dur
rus. undertook to land any swimmer In
the river in fifteen minutes. and Constable
Kennedy, a noted swimming champion. con-
scented to act the fish" A belt WIS fast
ened across the constables shoulders and
to this was attached a strong salmon hook.
A lancewood rod and the ordinary salmon
fishing line were used. The human fish
took the water at high tide and with a bold
stroke swan out ten yards. At this dis
lance DIR. Lewis checked the constable's
progress. and then the Ash dived and
turned on his back. but without avail.
For two minutes 1t was an even contest
between the angler and fsh. then the con-
stable swan away for twenty yards. when
he was again brought up. He dived and
wriggled like an eel. but not another inch
could he add to his advantage. After
eleven minutes struggle the angler was
gaining ground. but Constable Kennedy
gathered strength and diving, made away
with powerful stroke. At the fourteenth
minute, when only one minute remained
the salmon line snapped and the fish was
declared the victor.
More remarkable still was the incident
which followed. DIR. Orr OF Huddesheld
was fy-fshing in the river when the pony
which brought him from Dunbeacon broke
loose from where It was tied and fell into
deep water with the trap attached. The
pony made frantic efforts to swim ashore
but was hampered by the weight OF the
trap.
DR.. Orr. the narrative goes on. was FISH
ing at the opposite side OF the stream and
he threw his line toward the pony. BY a
fortunate chance the nshing hook caught
the pony in the ear and held fast. The
angler pulled his line and the pony re-
sponded. with the result that both pony
and trap were safely landed on the shore

Devil Fish steal. q Boat.

Captain John A. Breckenridge of Austin,
Texas, spent a month fishing at Tarpon
and tells fish story which he says can
be vouched for.
"Al Leach, a railroad engineer on the In

was sitting in his boat which was an
chored near the Tarpon jetties. fishing for
mackereL l and a number of others oc-
cupied gasoline launches possibly ten yards
away from Mr.. Leach's >rowboat.
Suddenly we heard a cry of alarm, and
looking up. we say Mr.. Leach and his boat

in pursuit of the rowboat, which continued
to move rapidly. We put on all the power
Of which the launches were capable but

came from the rear launch. and turning
we saw sight the like of which never
greeted my eyes before. A huge devilish
swan slowly TO the surface his long arms
and huge body seemed to cover a space the
size Of a house. The monster only allowed
himself to be seen for moment. and soon
disappeared under the water.
Finally with a swish II came to the sur

Leach's boat in its mouth.
