STRIPED BASS.
And an interesting Note About ths
Skinner Clam.

/ Nno an interesting note ABOUT the
Skinner Clam.
1t requires more than "catfsh
skill to catch and successfully land
the king of salt water fish, the
beautiful striped bass. One must be
patient, have no crouch, fish long
and quietly, have endurance Of
strength and good nature, and
then there is a possibility of the
hook breaking or loosening, the line
parting, or it may be that day that
luck will be on the side of the salt
water king.
One of the essential things to re-
member in striped bass angling is
that one must be as careful in the
selection Of grounds as is the fish
itself, for the larger and gamer
bass select as homes or feeding
grounds the great beds Of skinner
clans along the coast, out on the
ocean floor. While they have no
"nutcracker" in their throats, such
as the drumfsh and sheepshead
possess, they are able with their
powerful jaws to break the rather
slender shell of the skinner clam
and obtain their food supply. The
smaller bass, being unable to break
the shells, enter the salt bays and
feed on bloodworms, shedder crabs
and such other food as their Jaws
can manage.
The skinner clam deserves more
than passing notice. So let w. H.
Ballou, who knows the striped bass
and the skinner clam, tell about it.
"lt does not belong to the edible
foods of the human race" says Mr..
Ballou, although it has been found
varying in weight from a quarter
of pound up to four pounds. The
skinner clam, like all other clans,
has the fatal habit of walking on
the ocean floor by suction-that is,
it moves its hinge up and slightly
opens its shell, thereby sucking its
way along in the sand.
"The edible clam species have the
same habit. But as they live and
breed only in salt water bays there
are no violent seas to drive them
about. The skinner clam, living
on the ocean floor, takes his life in
his hands, as it were, when he
emerges from the sand and goes
strolling over the bottom. Unable
to resist great seas, tides and un-
dertows grasp him in fatal grip and
roll him over and over toward the
beach, where he is landed high and
dry at high tide. In the early morn
ing small boys and anglers gather
the juicy bait by the basketful.
Thousands of seagulls likewise
swoop down on the unfortunate
skimmers, cracking their shells and
gorging themselves on the big
meats.
"At Barnegat beach / have often
seen albatrosses and other huge
birds sharing with countless gulls
the loot of the beach. AS the skim
mers are rolled toward the beach
they are followed by striped bass,
drumfsh and other species, and
these often by sharks, the fish prey
ing on the clans and the sharks on
the fish. The reason, then, is OBJ
vious why surf fishers prefer the
skinner clam for bait to shedder
crabs. New York Press,

Daddy;s Good-N Night Stories
WILLIE TREETOAD AND THE FROG BROTHERS.
BY FARMER SMITH.

rTHELs father tucked Ter carefully in bed, and then began the follow
r. ing story:
- The Eros brothers were so surprised 20 think that Willie Treetoad
had gt ahead of them that they lay awake all night wondering how they
could get W with him. To think. said Jack, "a Treetoad like him climbing
tree and dropping down a dandelon string to tickle our threats What
shall we do to himT
- do not know said Jill But when the morning comes 1 will think
of something
"sThere is me thing We " eve thought Of sail Jack, THAT is
mother was telling the other day about a flower called the poppy which
puts people to sleep, and 1 wonder why We cannot put a poppy under his
nose and make him go so fast asleep that he will nt wake up for a day u
So, #Ntt~ t ff
when morning came the W Frog brothers went u to look for a
poppy. They found n growing down at the lower end of the meadow, and
they took ii home. fa4N@
away from his home?
- That will be easy, said Jack; we will walk past his mouse and tell his
mother we are going to catch butterflies and ask tn time Of day. Then
we will &c away u pto the tor Oft the Ill jump in the brook swim
down fasta rs W can. When We get home W e will get our poppy and jump
over to see what Willie sis doing
Then they got their poppy and went over to find Willie Treetoad. He
was fast asleep under the weeping willow tree. They put the poppy under
his nose and then waited a while They shook him, but he did nt move
Then they shouted TO the Butterfly: Hey. there, will 20 give us some
fuzz O our wings to paint Willie Treetoad white, so that his W mother will
not know him@ M &
:" Certainly said the Butterfly. l will fly under the wire fence and scrape
off ome white for you
Then the Frog boys took the white. and made some paint, and with
It they painted Willie Treeoad until they would not have known him them
selves.
After that they went home"

Praises probation system.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There is one bill at least that has
been introduced in the Legislature
which l think ought to be passed
promptly and signed by the governor.
I refer to that introduced by Assem-
blyman Terhune, which is intended ia
extend the work of the probation of
flee. ! know thai a vast amount of
good has been accomplished by that Of
fee. and | also know that more can
be done If it obtains the help it asks
for in the bill. which authorizes the
judges OF the Court of Common Pleas
to appoint additional officers.
The first n foremost object of the
probation Office is TO give to those who
have fallen by the wayside," the frs,
offender. an opportunity to again be-
come a useful member of society. The
theory. under which 1t works is correct
from tie point of view of social
economy as the person under restraint
does not become a burden upon the
community. but while paying the pen.
atty for his first fall is given the OPP
I~ortunity to right himself, an oppor-
tunity which I know is seldom abused

A WARNING FROM THE MIDDLE VEST.

TT Becoming events cast their shadows before, there is a meaning
in the election on Tuesday in the Sixth congressional district
of Missouri, when the Democratic candidate received a ma
jority of 3,l91, or 1,60O more than the late Congressman De Almond
received in 1908. The Republicans spared no effort to carry the
district, and national speakers were thrown into it and a strong
candidate was nominated, the Democratic candidate being little
known. But the personality of the candidate was lost sight of in
the national questions injected into. the campaign. The admins:
ttation and its acts since the Inauguration of Mr.. Taft figured more
prominently than anything else. The Missouri Congress district
is not unlike all other districts of the Middle West. The same
sentiment pervades the whole. There is deep disappointment with
The President. His surrender to the Aldrich Cannon combination
on the tariff was the first blow TO his great prestige, and subsequent
events have deepened the feeling.
