Catching Fish in an Umbrella.

From tho st. LUCE Tribune.
A novel method Of catching mullet was
practiced lately by John J. Jandreau, of
Fort Pierce. While at the inlet last Mon
day, accompanied by his wife and little
girl. he noticed a considerable number Of
large mullet feeding in n small creek. He
built a dam across the mouth Of this
creek and then little Miss Jandreau. bare
footed. splashed about in the water The
ish, becoming panic-strIeken, ran for
deep water. Coming to the dam they
leaped over It and fell into open silk UNI
brellas held by Mr.. and Mrs. Jandreau.
There seemed to be no limit to the num-
Der to be caught in this manner, but only
enough for present consumption were
taken. and now his family and their
friends can always have fresh FISH.
