The wedding was set for eight
| o'clock that evening, and it was ten
| minutes past nine when Broadhurst
leaped from cab in front Of Miss
Virginia's home, turned to pay the
driver of the foaming horses and ran
up the steps Of the house His ring
was answered Immediately, and he al.
most rushed into the arms Of his
friend Gay. He thought his friend
seemed somewhat surprised at his ar-
rival
Il hope I am not so very late?" be
gasped.
The ceremony is over" Gay said,
but you are in time to offer your CON
ordinations. Come this way"
The bride came forward and gave
her hand. Broadhurst thought she
a little more cordially than her man
ner Indicated. To relieve the embar-
rassment of the situation, he ventured
to extend his congratulations, and was
glad to perceive that it must have been
the proper thing to do, since the bride
received them most graciously. Then,
with the remark, Il want you to meet
my husband" she led him towards the
gentleman who had been with her
when he entered the room.
After he had been presented, his
friend Gay remarked to Virginias hus-
band:
You have my friend here-whosc
name by the way, is the same as your
own, Richard Broadhurst-to thank
for rescuing your bride, some time
ago when team of horses threatened
TO run her down"
Broadhurst did not catch the others
reply; he was dazed. Gay laid his
hand upon Broadhurst's shoulder, say.

The following beautiful passage
Is from the pen Of former Senator
Carnack who was recently killed
in a pistol duel 10 Nashville, Tenn.
"The South is a land that has
known sorrows;it is a land that has
broken the ashen crust and moist
ened il with its tears;a land scar
rel and riven by the plowsbare Of
war and beloved with the graves
OF her dead; but q land Of legend,
a land OF song, a land OF hallowed

n GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
or TARpON FISHING.

knows how to leap, Other fish
jump sometimes, but he makes II
a matter Of principle. he leaps
out Of the water to catch the fish
on which hc feeds, he leaps at the
first prick Of hook or barpoon.
His jumps are vertically upward,
at any angle, in any direction, or
he may skim tho surface Of the
water. He can hold himself as
straight as an arrow, bend himself
into q circle, twist himself into q
letter S or tie himself into bow
knot.
81 never saw the leap OF a sal
mon that the commonest kind Of a
tarpon couldn't double discount
in his sleep. The performance Of
a tarpon is so picturesque, so
thrilling, that to see II sportsmen
travel thousands Of miles, sit for
days in little skifTs, andthen grind
fifty dollar coffee mills on spring
less rods for hours at a time.'
For, whether you use hook or
harpoon, it takes hours to secure
your game after yon have caught
him. Often there is a capsize be-
fore capture. In one conflict Mr..
Dimock describes how at the end
of a long struggle the tarpon was
at last tempted within short range.
whenever | hauled the fish into
the canoe it rolled over with both
of us, until after one such ,capsize,
! was righting il, the tarpon slid
into it OF bis own motion, which l
accepted as a formal surrender and
with sudden jerk Of the lightly
fastened harpoon set him free"
This playing with the fish, in
short, is not struggle to destroy
him, but to stimulate him TO make
those gorgeous acrobatic displays
which are without q parallel in the
animal world, then turn him loose.
The injury to the fish is usually
less, our author assures us, than
that which an average football
player would ignore in the glory
Of the game and count as trihing
afterwart.
"'rhere is plenty Of real trouble
in the world, !" be concludes, ''and
it is not well to magnify the sor-
rows Of these cold bIooded victims
to the extent Of getting your NOR
al lens out of focus. Hunting the
tarpon with harpoon, under the
conditions ! have endeavored to
set forth, is the very acme Of
sport. No man with red blood in
his veins can resist its attractions,
if he once gets within Its field Of
influence. OF all sports it is first
in legitimate plaasnrable excite
ment, fullest of thrills, nnequaled
in healthfulness, and the ouIy
sport that gives the dumb object
of pursuit square deal''

THE ACNE or SPORT.
IN "FloTlda Enchaniments" the Dim
Ocks Treat This Subject IN an
Interesting nanner.


An article that should interest
many of our readers and which
has to do largely with Punta Cor
da and her famous fishing grounds
appeared recently in the New
York Herald and we take the fol-
lowing from it:
Mr.. Julian "A. Dimock does
things with bis camera, and his
brother, A. w. Dimmock, does
things with his pen. AT least
such | surmise to be- the species
Of collaboration under which the
present book was prepared. In
addition both know how to WELD
rod and rifle. The chief scenes of
their exploits were Homosassa
river and Charlotte Harbor, which
opens into the Gulf of Mexico on
the west coast of Florida. IA
Realized Utopia" the scribe calls
:hiS region.
Revealing in the glories of Boca
Grande, the big pass from Char
lotte Harbor to the Gulf of Next
co--the heaquarters of the marine
monsters of the coast including
the king of them all, the tarpon,
he related:
"rhere were sharks that chased
and killed our tarpon as | played
them. When the sea was so
rough that the crests of waves
spilled water over the low sides of
the canoe these brutes became
most active and followed their
prey and mine 80 fiercely as to
threaten the destruction of the
craft by collisions often narrowly
averled."
Sometimes he could see beside
his canoe the big open three foot
mouth Of devil fish, sixteen or
more feet across the back, with
horn like flappers on both sides Of
his head, as terrible in appearance
as he is harmless by nature.
Zone morning a thousand pound
manatee rose beside the canoe,
looked in my face, and failing to
recognize an old friend, dove hast
lily, sending with a stroke of his
thick tail, as is the custom of the
creature when frightened, a col
umn of water high in the air."
Dolphins rolled their backs
above water where fish abonnded;
heads of great turtles, uplifted in
air, dotted the surface, and often,
rising beside the canoe, disappear
ing suddenly with a gasp of sur.
prise, sluggish jewish sometimes
took their bait. If they CHANGED
to be very small the fishermen had
Jewish chowder for supper; 9th
erwise they lei the big ugly things
90. They wasted no time on
horse mackerel. Whenever q
shark got on their hook they de-
voted hours If necessary to his cx-
tinction, although this compelled
them to land on the beach 10 finish
the brute.
GA prudent man doesn't pull
a frail canoe beside a fighting male
tiger of the sea-"
Ever their quest was for tarpon.
Yet it was the sport, not the fish,
they we're after. Tarpon is not
good to eat, nor does it possess
any commercial value in any other
form. When it has been secure
" landed it is instantly released.
Tarpon, Mr. Dimock tells US, is
really the only big fish that really

COUNTIES OF FLORIDA.
Some interesting Information
Concerning Their Creation.

From a recent issue Of the JAS
per News the following article Il

note with interest the various
counties of which this has been q
part from time TO time until set

wannee river for its western
boundary, and q line drawn from
the mouth Of the Snwannee To
Cow Ford on the ST. Johns river,
thence down said river 20 the
ocean, formed its southern bound
airy. Cow Ford is the jackson.
vile Of today.
The councils of 1894 made
more counties. Gadsden was Gre
ated with u territory eeachine
from the Apalachicola river on
the west 10 the Suwannee Myer on
the east. This was subdiyided to
form Leon county. Washington
and Walton counties were formed
from Jackson and Escambia.
Monroe county was created to in
clude all territory south of Char
lotte Harbor. Mosquito county
included all territory south, of the
head Of the south branch of the
Matanzas river. Alachua and
Nassau counties were created from
