nomination for sheriff to take the
field against Peter Bonde, who is a

who were out driving last Tuesday
evening tipped into the ditch, but

The bridge near the Lake Lillian
park washed away last Sunday, but
the damage was repaired Monday

holes when they first appear many
serious damages to the roads could
be avoided without much effort.
The muskrats are a serious pest for
the highways in this town, but we
are not allowed to kill them out OF
season. We believe that this law
is wrong.

WHAT WE NEED.

What America needs more than rail-
way extension. and western irrigation,
and low tariff, and a bigger wheat
crop, and merchant marine, and a
new navy, is revival of piety, the
kind mother and father used to have
piety that counted it good business to
stop for daily family prayers before
breakfast; that quit work half an hour
earlier Thursday night so as to get the
chores done and go to prayer-meeting;
that borrowed money to pay the
preachers salary and prayed frequently
in secret for the salvation OF the rich
man who looked with scorn on such un-
business-like behavior. That's what we
need now to clean this country of the
filth and graft and of greed, petty and
big; of worship of fine houses and big
lands, and high office. and grand social
functions. What is this thing we are
worshipping but vain repetition of
what decayed nations fell down and
worshipped just before their light went
out? Read the history of Rome in decay
and you'll find luxury there that could
lay a big dollar over our little doughnui
that looks so large to as. Great wealth
never made a nation substantial OF

THE SWORDfISH.

The swordfish is overload of the sea.
Neither the whale, the shark, nor any
other giant of the deep can conquer
him in private fight or public brawl.
Nevertheless, he is peaceful in the main
and seeks the simple life, amusing him
self often with worldwide travel and
always with delicate gustatory Joy. He
is the daintiest feeder that swims, al
ways kills his own game and thereby
insures its freshness. Wherefore his
flesh is delight to the palate of man.
kind-as far west as Bridgeport, Con-
necticut-and wherefore, again, men
go forth to kill him for market. and there
by at times fall upon adventures that
make the hunting of tigers and the
shooting of grizzlies pale into pastimes
for the weary weakling.
For the bold swordfish is still hunted
in mode as primitive as that the Es-
kimo uses to kill the stupid whale,
and often the sting of the harpoon
changes this luxurious ocean CASTRO
nome into raging water-devil, quick
to perceive his advantage, charging
with the speed of bullet and the &C.
curacy of a swordsman up against the
lone fisherman in the dory who tries to
bring him to gaff. Then must the
fisherman measure with exactness the
lunge of the monster, avoid it by 9

of its fascination. swordfshing skipper

FISH IN THE BAHAMAS.

The fish found in Nassau waters are
of ofnever-ending interest to the stranger.
With the aid of native water glass,
which is common wooden bucket with
the bottom knocked out and glass
bottom but in, it is possible to watch
the finny creatures swimming about,
apparently regardless of prying eyes.
The parrot-fish, with body the shape
and color of goldfish, only. 10 times
larger; the cow-fish, with comical face
curiously like caricature of its bovine
sponsor; hog-fish, with shouts; grouper
hind, amberjack and turbot, whose ex-
quisitely tinted skin is dried and used
by the natives as scrubbing brushes,
are all there, but the most beautiful
of all is the angel-fsh, with its blue and
yellow wing-like fins. Angel fish are
so numerous in Nassau, and their flesh
is so delicate in flavor, that they are a
frequent item on the menu of the large
tourist hotels.
