The Angel Child locked himself in the

He Is not two years old, but he has

reverberated throughout the neighhor-

they leaned. In chorus. in solo. In jerks

Then they kicked and slammed. But the

A jolly party Of five Washington anglers
arrived at Weverton, Md. Saturday night.

catch more fish than the others and each
willing to remain on the river all day
Sunday, rain or shine. Members of the
party were Jack Wilson, A. II. Sahdala.
Ward Savage. John w. Hurley and Will
liam E. Dulin.
The anticipation Of some lively sport on
the river the next morning caused so
much excitement that the anglers were
unable to sleep much, and long before the
sun was seen over the mountains the
anglers wre hiking along the towpath
toward Sandy Hook. where they had
arranged to try their luck.
I'VE landed forty-two bass" said one
member Of tine party. but we have been
unable to decide who carried off the
honors.
IAN admit that Col Hurley carried off
the honors SO far as the number OF fish
Is concerned, but Jack Wilson claims a
better average because he only fished
with one line
In addition to being fond of fishing, al.
though last Sunday was the first time
he had ever tried his luck for small
mouth bass. Jack Wilson is something OF
base ball fan and is familiar with aver
ages of the players.
Il figure my catch at 100 per cent"
said Wilson. II had only one line and
caught three fish, an average far above
the others with their two, three or
four lines, and therefore ! contend that
/ made the best record
Hurley, Savage and their boatmen
came ashore with a count of twenty
three, while Sahdala, fishing single
handed. landed eight fish.
But" commented Jack Wilson, I'm
perfectly satisfied with my outing and
my claim, and I'm ready for another
trip Sunday Bass fishing is great sport
and the boys got me In the game.
Hurley and Sahdala participated in
an incident that made the latter think
of the surf fishing he does along the
Atlantic coast once a year. He is a
member of. a surf fishing club at AS
bury Park n. j., and it is not an I'M
usual thing for him to land forty
pound fish
But he landed much bigger game

MY ANCESTRY.

I am very proud of my ancestors.
Ny twice great-grandfather did not
come over in the Mayfower My six
time great-grandfather did not belong
to the bunch under William the Con-
queror.
AS, far as 1 know no uncle Of mine
was ever governor OF Indiana nor su-
preme court judge in Kentucky.
1 have no family tree so long that
somewhere about the middle of it Adam
was born.
The only real sure enough ancestor of
note that l can boast Is ADAM 1 am
one of the vast Adam family, though ]
have lost the name.
Yet still l am proud of my forefathers
There were SO many of them
My father and mother each had a
father and mother. that Is. l had two
grandfathers and two grandmothers.
which makes four.
Each of these four necessarily had a
father and mother: so in the ascending
generation I had eight ancestors.

lionaire's son who dresses himself to per-

And yet that is what many of our
leading young men actors are perps-
trating They are wearing the wrong
sort OF collars. The women on the
stage never make breaks Of that sort
but men must have been born In n land
where collars were made as parts Of

Worse than that is the leading man
who played the part of baronet. one
OF the smartest In England whose

rounded his neck with a ffteen-cent
monstrosity that looked clownish with
that wonderful silk hat and his splendid

they were rescuing the child a fire might

The mother said that wouldn't do She

They hammered the lock, broke the

smashing, they broke up the door, and
left it a mass of splinters. You can't

Imagine that we are all at the theater
and In the cast Is young man who Is
supposedly depicting to the audience the
lively portrait of a youthful millionaire
a youthful millionaire, let us say.
Don't we all love to see hundred-dollar-
week actor play the part of thousand
dollar a-second sport? Answer: We do.
We just love to watch his impetuous
movements. We love to see him burst
through the door. We laugh when We
hear him make a retort to his Millionaire
father which in real life would either
break the old gentemans heart or cause
him to knock his fresh sons block off.
We SILVER with delight when he pays
his bills In stage money-bushels of IT.
We laugh when he is presented with a
thirty five Thousand dollar account for a
little dinner party he gave the night be-
fore and which is now causing him a
fearful headache. We watch him sympa-
thetcaHy when he makes a million dol
lar love scene to the girl Of his heart
or proves that after all, even though he
is rich ne is honest by some startling
and unheard-of piece of straight dealing
We appla I'D him when he dances, because
that is what millionaire sons are sup
posed to do in musical comedy, and we
hang upon his words and watch his face
and figure. for we are likely to get much
of our idea of what is real life by
watching its reflection from two-dollar
seat in theater.
