"As soon as It struck the fish broke
water, showing himself to us In full,
as they usually do, and we saw he
was a very large muskellunge, larger
than had ever hooked. We decided
to try and pick up the line with a
drag. We tried to do so with the
tackle in our boat, working for per-
haps fifteen TO twenty minutes, but
were unable to do it.
we decided to go to camp and dis
cuss the matter After lunch. Jimmie
German made drag and with the as
sistance of another guide, we started
for the middle OF the lake TO pick up
the broken tackle.
I'VE rowed out in the lake, and 10
my mind the most remarkable event
OF the day happened. showing extra
ordinary ability on the part OF my
guide. We rowed TO point I'm the
lake where there were no marks, ex
cept shore lines, when German said:
This is where he struck and this
Is perhaps where we will find him
Drop the drag.
I'VE did so, and am quite sure we
did not row three boat lengths until
we picked up the end of the line.
Fortunately we picked up the line
near the reel and Immediately lifted it
and the broken rod out of the water
without disturbing the fish at the 9th
er end. We Immediately changed the
line of the broken tackle onto new
rod and found the weight OF the fish
on the end. He had not gotten un
hooked.
Then began the most beautiful
fight it has been my pleasure TO have

big muskie had been quiet and seem
ingly was as full Of fight as ever. He

Hayward, Wis.-This horthwoods

This year it is forty-one-pouna

after his rod had been broken and reel
and line had gone overheard to the
bottom of the lake.
Mr. Bethard tells the story himself,
laying emphasis on the fact that here
at least is an instance OF "a big one
that did not get away" For this the
Peoria statesman gives full credit to
Jimmie German, his guide. He adds
that besides tipping the scales at
forty-one pounds, the fish measured
81 inches from head to tail. 1t was

TO MAKE MlLLINERS' FOLD
The Cutting Of the Material Is the
Only Thing to Be Kept in
Mind.

To make q milliner's or French fold,
cut the material three times the width
that the fold is to be when 1t is fin
ished. Then fold third OF this width
back on the wrong side. and fold
down over this raw edge the remain
ing part. Turn in tho raw edge be-
fore doing this. Finally, slipstitch
this edge to the thickness underneath,
being careful not to let the stitches go
all the way through.
TO make a doubles fold Of this sort,
cut tho material, again, three times
the width of the fold when finished.
Made wide, plain fold. and then folG
this through the center. with the
stitches all on the upper edge. Place
the upper fold so that it forms a cord
or ridge through the center, and slip
stitch this so as TO hold it firmly ia
place. Be sure that all your stitches
are out Of sight.

Two Queens.

II is common gossip that the Dow.

posed the idea of Queen Alexandra's s
retirement, and the Empress has al.
ways had n good deal of influence
with her sister. Anyway, the upshot
Of the matter has been that Queen
Alexandra intends 20 maintain her
court In considerable dignity and
state. There viii, in fact be two
queens. and although Queen Alexan.
.dra and Queen Mary cherish the
greatest regard for each other, they
do not see eye TO eye on al matters.

now associated with both courts will
