For the fisherman this book by
Charles Frederick Holder cannot fail to
interest. 1t is superbly illustrated and
most entertainingly written. Mr.. Holder
Is the president of the famous Tuna
club of southern California, and the
publication of his book calls to mind
the fact that within a comparatively
few years new sport, that of sea
angling with the rod for gigantic
fishes, has come into vogue
The book contains % chapters and
each one is more interesting than the
last Particularly good are those on
the shark and that other dreaded mon
ster of the deep, the devil fish or oc-
topus. According to Mr.. Holder, many
sharks are harmless and the octopus
quite so. He, it is claimed wants
crab and other sea delicacies to eat,

Mr. Holder has evidently spent most
Of his time in the Florida and Califor-
mia waters. At Santa Catalina fish of
over 100 pounds are taken with what
is technically known as the No. 8
thread line, the tip of the rod five feet
in length and weighing not over six
ounces. The book claims that the No.
3 line is more sportsmanlike than the
81 and "a thread line used heretofore,
with 16 ounce rod.
Much interesting information about
the swordfish is given. and exciting de-
scriptions of their capture. A chap

yellowfin tuna. which first appeared In
American waters In 1905.
Much of this book appeared as maya,
zine articles. but has been revised and
collected and added to until it is
most attractive volume.

Beauty and Health"

By Cora Brown Potter. Published by Paul
Elder Co. San Francisco and New York
Mrs. Cora Brown Potter. who has
been known on the stage as Mrs. James
Brown Potter. and also as Mrs. Cora
Urquhart Potter, has written a book
not about the stage or society, though
she has had more than the average
womans experience with both--but
about health and beauty. She calls
her book the Secrets of Beauty and
the Mysteries Of Health" and explains
that 1t contains practical suggestions
Tor the right care of the person, to-
gether with "a collection OF valuable
receipts pertaining to health and beauty
gathered during the authors stage ex-
periences and travels in all parts OF
the world
Mrs Potter has compiled enough in

While there is little original matter
in the book. there is much that is in

valuable.
The style Of writing is poor. but no
pretense 70 made for style. The book
Is beautifully printed and bound and

make her girlish condolences to, she
begins by keeping a sort of diary,
written as though the diary were a
person whom she calls ELLEN Walt
ers." Every few chapters we are
given a few ELLEN Walters" conf
dences, making the story partly told
by the innocent little heroine herself.
The scene of the tale is Long island,
and most of the characters are Daven-
ants: none of them very closely re-
lated but calling each other aunt and
cousin.
The part of the family living in
Long island is very rich, and the
heroine,> >from the country. is very poor.
She is invited to visit the rich rela-
tiyes and somehow her coming seems
to precipitate the climax that has been
closing in on the family for years.
The love story is charming, the pic
ture of social life in the summer set
tlement is amusing and the characters
are all alive. The finest thing about
the book is the fact that the author
never explains her mystery to the
reader. 1t has been indicated so
plainly that 1t would be an insult to
the readers intelligence, but few
authors would have been able to re-

There have been many expressions
of opinion on the play. It was even

The cause OF that charge was the sux-

MIR. Burton's friends, Loweyer, say
that the Cleveland congressman Is
also playing politics to an interest
ing extent and that instead of really
expecting the senatorial election this
time he Is merely trying to put HIM
self in such a strategic position that
he will be the logical candidate to
succeed Senator Dick. They say that
his friends on the Cuyaioga delega-
tion are unquestionably in the ma
jority and that if Mr.. Herri2k can
make trades with few, the con-
gressman can do the same with o
larger number and hence be in a
much better position than the ex-
governor.

Capt. Robert Il. Eddy, father Of the
missing man, says the report may be
true, but insists that II it is his son

the story is trpe, he will make er-

PIG SKIN WARRIORS
Battled Hard for Forty
Minutes.
Poor Generalship is Believed TO Have
Cost the Game for the Marion
Boys.

"A grldirOn battle of conslderSbl,
note occurred at Webb park saturday
afternoon when Mansfield High and
Marion High fought for forty min
utes without the goal line Of elite:
team having been crossed. II was a
case where Marion should have won
and this would have undoubtedly
been the results had it not been for a
poorly managed play in the last three
minutes.
Mansfield took the kick or and
chose the east goal. In the first five
minutes OF play the visiting eleven
simply carried the local boys OF
their feet and by line rushes ana
forward passes, carried the ball 70
within five yards Of Marion's goal line
Here a costly tumble occurred and
Marion punted the ball out of the
dangerous territory. For the remaind-
er Of the first half the goal line OF
clthc team was not in danger.
In the second half Marion high was
the whole cheese. Mansfield made a
desperate effort TO stop their mad
rush but could accomplish nothing.
The strenuous moment came in the
last few minutes OF play. BY
straight line bucks, left tackle Har-
~ Gillette carried the pig skin up TO
AGansfield's ten yard line. The big
left tackle was playing a great game
and he would have carried the ball
over for a touch down had It not
been for the suggestion that Hager-
man try n place kick. The kick was
blocked and a more indignant crowd
of spectators, never left a foot ball
field.
The llnc of both teams seemed
weak, but the ends were exceptional
ly strong and few gains were made
by attacking the ends. The forward
pass was attempted a number of
times, but was only fairly successful.
A particular feature Of the game
was a pretty drop Kick by Hageman
from the twenty-five yard line in the
first half, The pig skin sailed about
six inches wide Of the left goal post
but the attempt was appreciated by
the admiring spectators.
