The big fish which got away was
caught in our reservoir to-day at the
National Military home in Ohio. This
is the first one on record recaptured.
Our champion angler was fishing
for bass and caught small one, then
rebaited his hook with a lively min
now and made another cast, when, in
his own words, there was a rush of
the big fish for the bait, the quick pull
to fasten hook, the broken line and
the oft-told story Tepeated-the fish
got away with part of the line and
float attached The float indicated the
motions and position of the fish as
he tried to get rid of the hook, and
many anglers and friends of the un-
fortunate fisherman offered sugges-
tions and helped to recapture the
struggling bass, one Offering to carry
a skin from an adjoining lake and 90
out after him. Finally the fish ap-
preached the shore near enough to
cast a line over him and fasten in the
broken line. The crowd on shore
awaited the result with excited, eager
attention as the fish was brought to
net and safely landed When weighed
the indicator pointed to six ounces

The young lady glanced hurriedly
to see If any one was watching and
seeing the coast clear she slightly ele-

dainty foot with an abandon that
lacked cool calculation. The foot mis-
sed the ball and something fearful

tore hole 10 the atmosphere six in

on the bail 80 hard that the bounce
caused her hair TO come down and the
little boys ran home crying because
their ball was ruined.

ReqrettabIe.

There is universal regret in the
south, as there certainly will be every
where throughout the land, that Pat
rick Calhoun, a lineal descendant of
both Patrick Henry and John Caldwell
Calhoun, is mixed up in the bride Civ
ing cases in San Francisco, and the
prayer Of all good people is that,
though he has been indicted along with
Abe Ruef. Mayor Schmitz and others,
his innocence may be made to clearly
appear, for two purer statesmen never
lived than Patrick Henry and John G,
Calhoun. While they can in no wa.
be held responsible for the doings OF
Patrick Calhoun, it would be delightful.
to know that their virtues survive in
him. His guilt would be a sweet NOR
sci for the addle pated pessimists who
are forever exploiting the degeneracy
of our times.

A SUGGESTION.

King Solomon said, "There is nothing
new under the sum-" but nevertheless
and Notwithstanding Hon. G. Gunby
Jordan, president of the Eagle and
Phenix mills and also Of the Third Ma
tional Bank of Columbus, Ga, has in
jected into the political thought of the
country a brand new suggestion. 1t is
that a new cabinet Office be created,
and the incumbent thereof is to be
known rs secretary of transportation.
Mr.. Jordan argues that such an official
is needed to unity and systematize the
transportation interests of the country,
which he thinks the interstate com
merce commission is not able to do.
Without either indorsing or rejecting
his proposition, l believe it worthy of
profound consideration. 1t will Ger.
tainly provoke much discussion.

goes with the goods. And now, on behalf
OF these gentlemen, I will say that the
time has come when the Office seeks the
man.

UT is really too bad about King
Edward VII. He has been ex-
plotted for, 10, these many years
- as the ideal monarch and as the
high muck-a-muck of diplomats. He
has frequently made the tour of Eu-
rope, hugging and kissing his broth
er kings. He has been held up to
our admiring gaze as the peacemaker
paramount of the old world. But, alas
and alack, there are still within his
realm certain surly and bad hammered
folks who do not worship his gracious
majesty and who do not believe in his
royal capers. Not long since one Of
these undesirable persons" as a GER
tain pre-eminent functionary would
term them, arose in his place in the
house of commons and in%terpellated the
ministry as to whether the king has
not infracted the constitution by his
political activities! Now, that appears
simply awful to us who live In a coun-
try where the president intrudes into
everything, but it is we'll to remember
that in England the king is a mere
%igurehead, supposed to have no poll
tics.

AS he was riding along the road some
one called to him and asked where he
was going. He said he was going home.
He explained that he had come to Frank
fort, having learned that 1T was a time
when the Offices were seeking the men.
He said II any offices were seeking the
men to tell the Offices that Jim Robinson
was riding home On his mule, and he was
riding mighty slow.
Now I say that for all our distinguished
guests.

Tennessee Political Pot Already Boiling.
There is an old saying that the "early
bird catches the worm" The Tennes-
see Democrats appear to have taken
that ancient proverb as the rule and
guide for their faith and practice, at
least as to the governorship. Hon.
Malcolm II. Patterson, eX-representa-
tive in congress, has scarcely warmed
the gubernatorial chair to a p%leasur-
able degree before certain Of his con-
stituents are casting about for his sue
cessor, though the precedents in the
grand old volunteer state are in IA
vor of two terms of two years each
for a chief magistrate. The election
does not 4ake place for considerably
more than Il year, but certain Tennes-
seeans are whooping it up for Hon. Ed
ward Ward Carmack, ex-representative
and ex-senator in congress, for the gu
bernatorial office. Carmack went out
of the senate on the 4th of last March
in a blaze of glory by reason of the
fact that he talked the ship subsidy
bill to death. He has not signified his
intentions in the matter, but not long
since there was a meeting of Hamilton
county Democrats at Chattanooga, at
which speeches were made and the fol
lowing resolution was passed:
DESTROYS of providing a democratic form
of government by a democratic Democrat
for our state, we, here assembled, ear
nestly petition the Hon. Edward W. Car
mack to permit his friends throughout the
state to place him in the g~ubernatorial
chair of Tennessee. Believing we voice
the sentiment of fully se~ven-eighths of the
Democracy of Hamilton county, we pledge
not only the enthusiastic support by local
Democrats, but can safely assure Mr..
Carmack that the state entire from Shell
by to Sullivan, wherever Democrats reside
who admire energy, ability and fidelity to
Democratic principles, 1s of n mind in
Its plan and purpose. 1t Is expressed In
the Democratic din that now reverberates
through the state, echoing over hill and
through valley, declaring for
"Carmack, Carmack, great;
We need our leadership 1905"
