His mount was fresh to an extreme,

The Feats That a Tarpon Will Per-
form When Hooked.
If you have never seen a tarpon inn
agine the Mediterranean sardine that
you take from the box for lunch
heightened out to six or seven feet.
Give it two enormous staring black
eyes, a supercilious lip of the most
grotesque shape coming down and
twisting up again, mouth that can
be thrown so wide open that thirty
feet distant when the fish Is in the air
you can see blue sky down it's throat
and out through the arched gills. Give
the fish greenish back and a long
spine at the dorsal, powerful sardine-
like tail and equip its belly and sides
with scales which look more like new
~ minted trade dollars than anything
else, dollars often twice their natural
size, into which the purest molten sill
yer has been dropped, scales that fash
thousands of rays in every direction,
scales that CLEAN, corruscate and in
the full glare of the sun form so many
sunbursts to dazzle the eye and con.
fuse the excited angler.
l have taken the "sabalo" under va
rious circumstances and have seen it
leap along the outer Florida reef and
down by the Rio Grande, where 1t
forms in gigantic schools and moves
south in winter, and everywhere it is
the same sensational equilibrist, the
same air climber and sky scraper when
hooked or shared. What the sensations
Of the tarpon are when hooked it
would be difficult to say, but / fancy
it is frightened and leaps in the direc-
ton away from the pain center, and
no two leaps are alike.
1t may go directly up into the air,
carrying big wave with it. and lash
the air, or it may go out of the water
head first, rising like a ray of light ten
or fifteen or more feet, then fall
gracefully. Every possible position |
have seen the frightened tarpon take,
from standing on its tail as upright as
soldier to exactly the opposite direc-
ton. and an old angler informed me
that he had seen tarpon make a
lateral leap of thirty feet.-Charles F.
Holden In Recreation.

Manila Hemp.

Manila hemp is the most valuable
cordage fiber in the world 1t has
been an important article of com
merce for over 100 years. The first
shipment to the United States was
made about 1924. 1t is interesting
to note that the pioneers in the ex-
port of hemp from the Philippines
were American houses that were es-
tablished in Manila about that time.
and that for so years thereafter the
American houses of Russell & Stur-
gis and Peele, Hubbard & Co. con-
trolled this trade, making advances
to the growers and stimulating the
production. 1t is therefore largely
owing to American enterprise that
Manila hemp is an article of world
commerce today.
Manila hemp cannot, apparently,
be successfully grown in any other
part of the world. 1t is mainly
raised on the Islands of Luzon, Sa-
mar. Leyte and Mindanao. The
Province of Albay. in Luzon, usual
ly produces over one-fourth of the
total crop.

Good Manners.

Unseltlshness is truly the founda-
ton of good manners, but not the SUI
perstructure. Many conventional re-
strictions have grown about social
relations. Some can be explained by
the demand of kindness and some
cannot. Could a child infer from his
desire to help others that he should
not eat with his knife? -dany Of
lenses against good taste interfere in
some way with the rights of others,
but many others do not.
Still, no set OF rules to produce q
polished lady will achieve a result
ut nr the strain of life. The man
ners of the French boarding school
may adorn the ballroom, but are too
likely to fail at the breakfast table
or in the crowded car. The woman
OF perfect manner must reinforce
her unselfishness by social rules, and
conventionality must be vitalized by
the warm desire of others pleasure.
The best of life never comes natur-
ally" whether in manners or morals.
The secret of charming manners is
the desire for them. When the moth
er wishes them for her daughter as
much as she wishes the ether goods
OF the world her daughter will have
them. New Haven Register.

Spanish Marriages.

There has just taken place in Ma
drid little romance that reads like
a page from the life of the Middle
Ages. The parties are a daughter of
the Marquis de Conquista and the son
of the Marquis de Villareal. >. love
affair had arisen between the pair,
but the parents of the young lady
were hostile, and took her away from
Madrid. After some time the lover
found her in the village of Trujillo,
and, taking with him motor car,
took her back secretly to Madrid.
From this point everything was plain
sailing. They reached the city early
in the forenoon, and, going straight
to church, where mass was in pro
gress, watched till the priest faced
the congregation to give the blessing,
when, slipping on their knees, with
hands clasped, they each repeated
the little formula necessary for con-
stituting the marriage by surprise"
which in Italy and Spain used not to
be uncommon $50 years ago, when
turbulence and terrorism sometimes
justified such stratagem. The
young couple made no secret of their
union, and the brides parents have
since elected to make the best of the
accomplished fact.-London Llobe.

Yes said Mr.. Gregg, "but she
said Philander, I'm sure.
We'll, it may be-" said Miss John
son. Il haven't heard direct from
either of 'em for more'n two years;
it's my fault, for I'm no hand to
write-but they aren't, either. But
l always felt that Philander would be
the one to die, and Emery the one to
marry, according to their natures.
ITS Philander," persisted Mr..
Gregg. Hes married a widow
twice bereaved, she's been.
N"Oh, well, that may be Philander," :"
said Miss Aurena, with less doubt in
her voice. THAT sounds a good deal
more likely than l thought at FIRST. {"

of the native children brought her a

children three cents apiece for each
plant of the kind that they would
