Overload Of the Ssa and the Daintisst
Feeder That Swins.
The swordfsh Is the overload Of the
sea. Neither the whale, the shark nor
any other giant of the deep can con-
quer him In private fight or public
brawl. Nevertheless he is peaceful In
the main aud seeks the simple life,
amusing himself often with worldwide
travel and always with delicate gusta-
tory joys. He is the daintiest feeder
that swims, always kills his own game
and thereby lnsures Its freshness,
wherefore his flesh is delight to the
palate OF mankind and wherefore,
again. men go forth to kill him for
market and thereby Mt times fall upon
adventures that make the hunting of
tigers and the shooting Of grizzlies pale
into pastlmes for the weary weakling.
For the bold swordish is still hunted
In mode as primitive as that the Eskl-
mo uses to kill the stupid whale, and
often the sting Of the harpoon changes
this luxurious ocean gastronome into
a raging water devil. quick to perceive
his advantage, charging with the speed
OF a bullet and the accuracy of a
swordsman up against the lone fisher
man In the dory Who tries to bring
him to gan. Then must the fisherman
measure with exactness the lunge of
the monster, avoid 1t by marvel of

Many writer's have declared that an

MS is shown by story borrowed from
a book Of Irish memories.
Jerry McCarrie was often the guest
of friends who on account Of his pleas
ant ways extended to him that sort of
old Irish hospitality which enabled a
vi1,tur in my own family who came
for a fortnight to stay for six years.
In McCartie's case the visit stretched
to nearly double that time. After
eight or nine years, however, his kins-
man got little tired of his guest and
