CURIOUS WAY TO FISH.
Samoans Use a Cocoanut Leaf Chain
Half a Mile Long.

Half Mile Long.
A Samoan fishing bee is a unique
sight to witness. Cocoanut leaves are
gathered in abundance and secured,
doubled and tripled. end to end, to
form a long prickly chain, round in
appearance and about three feet in di-
ameter. These leaf chains are often
woven to a length of half mile.
When the chain is complete all the
men Of that particular village turn out
en- masse with their spaopaos," or Sa-
moan canoes.
When the tide is high the chain is
stretched across some convenient
place, supported by natives in their pa
opaos or simply wading where the shall
lowness will permit. The cocoanut
seine is then submerged and slowly
forced shoreward, the prickly points
driving the fish before them. When
the point is reached where the chain
can rest upon the bottom and still pro-
trude slightly from the water the ma
tives after securing the ends to the
beach retire and wait for the tide to
recede, leaving the fish high and dry.
1t is often found that large fish are
driven and caught in this manner, but
since they are capable of jumping the
barrier they are dispatched with spears
at once. The catches of fish thus
made are sometimes enormous and Of
ten number thousands. - Los Angeles

JENNY MADISON.
"Withered Little AppIejohn," Irving
Dubbed the President.

"Withered Little AppIeiohn," Irving
Dubbed the President.
What presidents we might have
had, siry' a Washington barber la
mented soon after Jefferson went out
of Office. Just look at Daggett OF
Connecticut or Stockton Of New Jer-
sey! What cues they have got, sir!
AS big as your wrist and powdered
every day like real gentlemen, as they
are. But this little Jim Madison, with
cue no bigger than a pipestem, sir!
1t is enough to make a man fOrswear
his country"
Short and wrinkled. with a cast In
his eye and voice scarcely audible in
public speaking, the new president did
not make a good impression as he be-
gan his inaugural address. He was
pale and '.trembled excessively" and
the swaying motion of his body sand
all the peculiarities of his poor de-
livery, including his air Of having risen
casually and with no intention of max
ing a speech and desiring above all
things to escape, were as annoying as
usual. Eut he gained poise as he pro-
ceeded, and Jefferson was convinced
that his friend would develop equal
assurance IN dealing with the prob
lens of his administration.
That night at Longs hotel In George
town, where guests thronged to the
first inaugural ball in the country's his
tory, the former president was in evi-
dence again, joyous and smiling,
contrast to the dismal little figure in
black standing beside Mrs. Madison,
regal in her yellow velvet, pearls and
turban. Some thought her the ADLER,
as she was the better favored, Of the
two. GAS to Jenny Madison" wrote
Washington Irving, who had come
with host of others to seek Office
'ah, poor Jenny! He is but a wither-
ed little applejohn."
To an intimate this withered little
man could talk delightfully."-, but in the
presence of crowd he retreated into
bored and almost repulsive silence. He
had had the misfortune to be born
with the sober characteristics of an old
man. Even in college he had been
painfully correct and Industrious, do
ing double work and stunning the
slightest appearance of frivolity. His
president made the damaging asser-
ton that during his whole stay at
Princeton Madison never did an in
discreet thing. It was fortunate that
his lively wife was at hand to supple
ment his lack of magnetism.-Helen
Nicolay in Century.

1t is the duty of the police
man and especially the colored
policeman, to regulate and re-
strict the conduct of the young
colored people on Washington
street from seventh to eleventh
streets. Some of them seem to
think that, within these four
blocks they are privileged to do
as they desire, regardless of how
menacing and uncivilized they
become. The colored police as a
rule tolerate too much of the
wrong stuff. 1t is better to
chastise and correct these evils
before they become so intoler-
able as to cause trouble and es-
peeially unfavorable comments
