Half a dozen young women will
come in together to buy candy, and
every one of the lot will make a
tour around the candy counter,
sampling every variety until by the
time they buy the crowd has eaten
from half a pound to Il pound of
the choicest candy in the store.
Why they should make free with
candies and other delicacies never
could understand. When they 60

THE SAlLFISH.

II Takes Great Skill to Land Him With
Reel and Rod.
The small number of sailfsh an
nually taken in Atlantic waters is
partially explained by tse uncer-
tainties and difficulties to be en-
countered in locating their pres
snce as well as the great skill, ex-
perience and endurance required in
handling them with rod and reel.
Although infrequently seen near
the Florida keys, they seldom leave
the vicinity of the warm gulf
stream, whose waters approach
within five miles of Palm Beach.
One usually finds them on warm,
sunny days, swimming with their
great dorsal fins slightly out of wa
ter, and Immediately a school is
discovered all power must be used
to forge ahead of them, cross their
path a hundred yards in advance,
then stop and allow the boat to
drift slowly, when a lively fresh
bait should be cast.
While they often strike at cut
bait or spoon in trolling, they are
seldom well hooked, owing to the
peculiar character of their jaws.
As a rule they bite very quietly and
must be given thirty to forty feet
of line before striking, as their
mouths are small, hard and bony,
not unlike the tarpon in their in
ternal structure, and can rarely be
captured unless the bait is well
swallowed.
When hooked they create terri
fic commotion, first endeavoring to
peel the most powerful reels in
their rushes, then making perpen-
dicular leaps in rapid succession,
clearing the waves by many feet.
trying desperately to shake out the
hook and finally making long side
dashes just under the water, some
what like a kingfsh.
These movements are occasional
ly interrupted by low, rapid flights
just above the water, when their
immense sail seems to play its part
in aerial navigation.-Forest and

and made plans as to the best means
Of digging their way through the

shovels and began work without de-
lay. The imprisoned men heard sharp
raps on the steam pipe running
through the drift and felt certain OF
being rescued. When the rescuing
party penetrated to the entombed men
IL was found that the men had dug
for a great distance through the fali
Of coal. There were but few persons
At the entrance to the drift when the
rescued men reached the surface. The
men quickly made their way to their
homes showing no bad effect OF their
