STRIPED BASS.
They Are Quick 40 Flash and Viii
Fight to the Finish.

AT the aquarium 1t will be motto
ed that before feeding time the big
striped bass swim lazily and indif-
ferently near the bottom, moving
sluggishly, as one often sees big
striped bass swim in the shallow wa
ter just beyond the surf line. No
body who does not know would
imagine then that they are fish of
incredible swiftness.
The food, consisting of live kill
lies, is thrown in by handfuls. Be-
fore the first handful gets chance
to sink an inch below the surface
the water is a fzz with the bass,
and the killies disappear so quickly
that the eye cannot see them go.
This is repeated again and again
until the first hunger is satisfied.
Then the bass ease off.
Lying on the bottom, they watch
for some particularly tempting Kill
lie. When a bass sees one he is up
and back again almost before one
perceives that he has moved. And
the killie is inside of him.
After watching them for a few
minutes the striped bass angler will
realize more clearly than he could
realize from weeks and months of
fishing how carefully the bait must
be watched and how swiftly bass
can strike if he feels like it. He
will learn also that it is futile to
expect to feel a nibble first, if strip
ed bass are really hungry. The fish
takes the food with a rush that
would mean a smashed or lost rod if
it were held by careless angler.
When the angler is rewarded by
the sharp strike, quick as a flash of
lightning, it is nip and tuck, a rush
here and a rush there, and the man
behind the rod is winding rapidly
to prevent the line from fouling on
the rocks which the striped bass is
making for. Shy at first in taking
the bait, he is no longer shy, but a
fighter. He is in the fight to win if
he can. Out into the channel or the
tideway, into the deeper water, be-
cause he does not like to fight in a
corner, he will dodge around the
rocks, prepared for long run, and
with terrific dashes and splashes he
makes the struggle for freedom
from the + ok. Now he stops short
he is sulking. The dash is still
in him, but he stops short with a
determination that seems to ask,
"Well, what are you going to do
about it?"
The striped bass is an uncertain
fellow, but in general the fish are
hungriest at late dusk. The largest
fish resort to the rocky shores OF
bays and inlets, the smaller ones to
the tideways, and the smallest ones
to the shallow waters.-New York
Times.

Rev. A. 4: Sykes
Now TeStifiGS

1t is seldom, indeed, that men of
prominence, especially ministers
of the gospel willingly express
their Indebtedness publicly to a
proprietary medicine. However,
when a medicine obtains that sim
gular purity and efficiency that
is shown by the uniform prepare
ton, Tanlac, statements from our
best citizens are to be considered
thoroughly commensurate with
the good that is actually being &C.
complished.
Rev. A. H. Sykes, Pastor of the
Watkins Park Presbyterian church

only as a minister of the gospel,
but popular as man and citizen
who has been true to his friends
and every trust ever reposed in
him, said recently:
"For the past ten months Mrs.

From the moment you enter
the broad gates of Lynnwood,
you have that feeling that you
are in a different world, an at

country. The curve Of the drive

an artist before you even see the
beautiful paintings done by the

welcome is even whinnied by the
splendid horses with locked tails
as they canter along excitedly by
your car and rush ahead as
though to herald your coming.
A group of low-roofed build
ings, over which Chamber ivy,
rose vines, and wistaria, first
greet the eye. A quaint belfry
covers the farm bell, and swal-
lows circle about it and the
chimney tops. A modern, three

as it rushes and trlckles through
native rock boulders, you are
charmed with the reflection in
the mirror-like surface of an
arched, white bridge, pictures

covered with dark green pine
and a gorgeous glow of autumn
leaves in red. yellow and brown.
In this setting is large table

LETTERS TO THE POLICE SAID

kick IN"
Copies of letters written and
signed by commanding officers of the
police force are in the files of the
civil service commission. The orig
, inal letters make a damaging case
against several higher-ups. 1t was
these letters that somebody was after
last week when the desks and files
of the commissions Office on the
sixth floor of the City Hall were rified
and mussed up by somebody who did
not get what he was hunting.
Both harness bulls and fly cops got
these letters from commanding Of
ficers. Some were written at the
time Walter 0'Brien, detective ser
geant, who is nephew of the sus-
pended detective chief, p D. O'Brien,
was on trial for graft and conspir-
acy.
It was after Walter o'Brien was
convicted with a sentence to the pen
itentiary that the letters were sent
out by commanding officers which
constitute the most serious evidence
backing up charges of conspiracy
and maybe extortion.
Kick in for Walter O'Brien, ne
phew of the chief of the detective
bureau" was the suggestion of these
letters.
And every detective knew that if |
he didn't kick in it would be taken by |
the bureau chief as a lack of good |
will toward the chief.
Also every harness bull with an
ambition to travel in plain clothes
and wear his star under his vest |
knew it was his chance to go on
record for good will or i'll will toward
the head man over the fly cops who
don't have to bother about hitching
themselves up into heavy uniform
