THERE are those who claim that the
bluefish of the Atlantic coast can
Il offer 60 the disciple of Izaak Wal
ton more and better sport than any
other variety of fishing, and many are
the sportsmen whose days off lead
them along the curves and windings of
some secluded brook where, from the
swirling eddies, the rainbow trout rises
to the royal coachman, and likewise
does the yellowtail and tuna fishing of
the Pacific coast or who are angling Tor
salmon in the northwestern states have
it's devotees, but the form of angling
which comes nearer the heart of the
average fisherman than any other Is
the black bass and muscalonge fishing
of the little fresh water lakes of the
middle west. Just such a lake as this.
where the pines rise, dense, primeVal
forest on every side is that shown on
the frontispiece of Golfers, issue of
August IA.
There he stands, a typical sportsman,
slowly reeling in the prize, for the fish
is now clearly played out, while the
guide makes ready, net in hand, to land
the beauty Everything is In perfect
harmony. The old fiat bottomed boat,
the old-fashioned oar sockets and even
the can of live minnows, which were
probably caught expressly for the oc-
casion and are now reposing con-
veniently on the back seat. To just
such an afternoons sport as this will
the mind of many an hard working
business man turn when he sees the
picture and visions of fieecy clouds, a
little restful lake and a mighty forest
will replace the unpleasant reality OF
brick walls and the long rows Of
figures.
The Rod and Gun editor of The
Herald is indebted to Dr. H. c. Royer
for one of the most delightful fishing
excursions of his experience. Leaving
San Pedro just as the sun was clear

party trolled for rock bass, and with
success, outside of the kelp line neaT
the breakwater. Later albicore fur
nished a few hours of exciting sport
and the days fishing will always re-
main a pleasant memory with all who
participated. The south coast minnow,
which was used on both varieties OF
fish, proved effective in both cases. few
of those using live bait having any
success with the bass.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-Charles
Schmidt of the Detroit baseball team
Yesterday threw a 10-cent baseball
from Vermont avenue in front of the
Arlington over the eight-story Shore
ham hotel, which faces on Fifteenth
street. He took a run, and the ball
went up until it disappeared over the
roof line of the hotel. 1t was later
found in Fifteenth street. Whether 1t

from the roof to the street is not
known, but it was a splendid throw,
for the distance from where Schmidt
stood to Fifteenth street is nearly 400

Notes of the Gann

George Wheeler, acting as first base
man and captain in the place Of Dillon,
who is confined to his home with a bad
ankle, was fined So and thrown out OF
the game in the last inning. Wheeler
got the worst of it on a decision at first
base, wherein Rollie Zeider was called
safe when he was out by q foot, and
when he demonstrated with Van Hal
tren for calling a poor bah strike
Van sent him TO the bench.
Considering the fact that Wheeler
was acting captain, and therefore en-
titled to argue a decision he did not
consider correct, and in view also of
the fact that the pitching staff is shot
to pieces and Dillon is away, this action
by Van Haltren was, to say the least,
extreme.

A SUCCESS.

The demonstration of the value and
utility of the products of the National
Biscuit company at Schoeneberg's store
Saturday was an unqualified success
from every standpoint. Schoeneberg's
special brands of coffee were conspic-
ious part of the demonstration. The
endless variety of crackers, cookies and
all the other innumerable specialties
put out by the National Biscuit Co.
were freely and generously provided to
an eager and inquisitive crowd of pa
irons who came to partake of the good
things given away. Great sales were
the result of the demonstration. The
coffee was prepared by Miss Hecker of
the agricultural school and was perfect
in its aroma and flavor. The agricul-
tural school is admittedly great insti-
tuition and can at any time give to Miss
Hecker diploma for preparing coffee
for king.

Job Vaughan, mail carrier, has
handed in his resignation to Postmaster
Trevitt, to take effect July lst His
successor will be appointed from the
sub-carriers, the first in line being given
first choice.
Mr. Vaughan is the oldest carrier in
years and point of service now carrying
mail The free delivery system for
Wausau was established in 1890 during
President Harrison's administration.
There were three carriers then ap-
pointed, John Egeler, Harry Drake and
Mr.. Vaughan, all veterans of the civil
war Later two more were appointed,
but Mr.. Vaughan is the only one left on
the force of the original three, the others
since choosing other pursuits.
Nineteen years is long service. Few
people realize what arduous work there
is IL lhis service and what RESPONSIBLE
ity rests Goon carrier. They must
face all kinds of weather and the work
is anything but exceedingly pleasant
on days such as last Tuesday and
Wednesday were. Now Mr.. Vaughan
feels that the time has arrived when he
must turn over the work to younger
hands and take life easier. Those who
have met him daily on his route for the
past nineteen years will greatly miss

of cottages; have base ball and tennis
grounds; a place for swimming; all
kinds of canoes, lake skiffs and large
launch. In fact everything to make a
crowd of boys, from ten to fifteen years
of age, happy and contented. But room
was wanted for more cottages little
distance away, where the parents could
go and be near their children and also
enjoy an outing in the pine woods of
Northern Wisconsin, so negotiations
were entered into with Mr. Scheduled
and a purchase made of his property,
which adjoins Mr.. Gillet's.
Mr.. Scholfield has purchased an in
interest," in the Lake and Country club,
the members of which are composed o:
Wausau people, and has selected his
site and made arrangements to builfl a
cottage thereon. The building will be
erected by Fred Meloy of Sayner, and

A HARD BLOW.

Chas. Cavenaugh was brought before
Justice r N. Larner this morning to
answer to the charge of assault with in
tent to do great bodily harm, preferred
by Nick Streveler, town of Emmett
merchant. He was bound over for trial
in municipal court, his bond being fixed
at $500, which he was unable tofurnish
About'a week ago Cavanaugh, who had
been working in the woods, appeared
at the store of Streveler and offered an
order he had received from his employ
ers in payment for bill of goods
Streveler refused to accept the order
and heated discussion arose. Cava-
naugh invited Streveler to come out
side and the invitation was accepted.
Cavanaugh struck the merchant, break
ing the latter's jaw bone. The COM
plainant is in bad shape. 1t was found
necessary to fix his teeth up with wires
and metal plate has been inserted in
his mouth to unite the broken bone.
He was unable to eat anything for a
week.
