WONDERFUL
FAULT MINERS.

A fault miner is left-handed think
er. Their training season is all year.
They'll take anything, even with
renntation as solid as concrete. and
dig into It with toothpick criticisms
until they pan out some mistaken mug
gets.
Anything new or good has some mil
dew on it, They look at things
half mile ahead and ten miles back
wards. They shy giving credit once
again as less as butchers scale.
Shakespeare didn't write that stuff;
he COPIED it from some sport editor,
while he was looking for a match
that's the way their sheet music reads.
Frinstance, here's an example of a
fault miner, or knocking the stills out
from under. It's a blue ribbon, first
place. royal flush. Il happened In
certain big city.
An American piano massager made
his first entrance to certain said city.
He's played in all the other cities be-
fore and made a grand march into
ditto city with grand laurels flying
on all masts. He gave a concert that
was a four Dagger. He won in a hop.
Here's the way a critic came out with
il in next a. m. paper.
"SO-and-so gave a piano recital al
so-and-so hall last night. We are in
clined TO believe he is pupil OF Pa
derewski. as his whole program was
Paderewski numbers. The so-and-so
concerto composed py Paderewski
strongly recalls TO our minds a
closely related theme OF Chopins. II
so1and-so we're not a pupil of Pade-
rewsk, no doubt his program would
not have held a Paderewski number"
There you are, folks. prize win
ming fault miner. Not one word about
the pianists skill, technique or being
an artist, which he is. No. He had
TO find uncalled-for fault. Stun no
body would lose sleep over was his
dish.
And underneath this article about
the pianist the clever critic went into
spasms for two columns about a
burlesque show. Gentle reader, don't
be a fault mineri Don't be a hang
NALL Give credit with as much Joy
as we like to get it. Very good, Jakei

swim into the more shallow waters
where the underwater weeds are
abundant. AT the time they leave their
home and the protection Of their pa
rents they are about an inch in length
and they trave, in schd)ls, swapping
I'D every kind OF insect life and even
taking a chance at the small gnats
and flies on the surface. When they
get bit older and reach a growth of
about four inches they are well able
to take care OF themselves and they
develop their audacity and voracity by
making war on the mlnnow in the
near-shore pools, chasing and battling
far larger minnows than their own
weight and size. This same battling
nature and trainbg from the fry stage
up is what make em such grand old
fighters when they get to the fshahle
size, and it certainly is fact that the
ones which survive the endless fight
for existence in the watery recesses
have accumulated a bunch OF tricks
that make them the keen antagonist
that they are.
From experiments with the large
mouth bass a few years ago, the Unit
ed States fish commission gives us a
few figures that show up the bass as
sure enough cannibal. OF 100000
fish raised in the spring in one OF the
Government fish ponds. only 10000
we're left when they we're removed in
the fall for planting. While the big
majority Of these fry weighed around
! two and three ounces. there we're over
500 that weighed nearly half pound
each. These latter FISH are probably
the boys who grow up into the six and
seven-pounders We all have a banker
ing to connect up with on our fishing
trips. At the same time one Of these
! little rascals devoured five others
nearly as large as himself in one week,
when placed in a separate tank with
them. With an appetite like that, this
husky youngster would probably de-
velop into ane OF the big "he-wops'
you often hear about. but seldom have
the luck to meet up with.
When the liAle fellows survive long
enough TO celebrate their second birth
day they attain an average length
from s to 10 inches and sport a weight
OF about pound, and from that time
on. fighting their way through life they
add on about a pound year until
they attain their maximum weight I'M
! less they decorate the stringer on the
way up. The maximum weight Of the
small-mouth is approximately four to
five pounds and that Of the large
mouth from six TO eight pounds
Those that sneak past these limits ar;
sure some fish. and happy is thu
mortal who feels the strike Of these
pastmasters in the art of keeping on
! the hook
Food supply and range Of water are
conditions that govern the growth OF
the bass. as well as all other fish and
YOU will often find larger bass IN
small deep lake than in the large shall
low waters. In the warmer Southern
waters. where the bass feed the entire
year. their growth is greater than In
the Northern waters, where they turn
into the mud and weeds and hibernate
during the winter, but when they get
out in the spring, they sure have more
pep than their Southern cousins.

DARCY TO STICK OUT FOR
RING BOUT IN new YORK

NEW YORK, Mar 10.-Les Darcy,
the Australian pugilist. barred from
New York rings by Governor Whit
man, is going to stick II out and he
will not fight Mike Gibbons. so he
says, until after he has had one bat
tie In New York.
Efforts to change his mind, accord
ing TO Eddie Kane. manager OF Glib
bons, on his return from Goshen ~.
Y, where Darcy is living on the es-
tate OF Grant Hugh Brown, merely
proved that Darcy is very set young
man in his ways.
Darcy conhded that he expects 10
fight in a New York ring within a
very short time.
Kane declared after the interview
that he would wait until Monday for
some change in Darcy. II il is not
forthcoming by that time. he said, he
and the Gibbons brothers will pack up
their grips and HE them back to that
dear st. Paul.

FACTS ABOUT BASS.
MY Dear Buck:

My Dear Buck:
The basses, both large and small
mouth, are without doubt the most vo-
racious Of the fresh-water game fms
and besides that they have more speed
when in search of their prey than any
Of the other fishes and to satiate an
appetite that seems TO be unlimited,
they are on the forage for food most
Of the time.
The BASES are hardy race of tail
kckers and they are scrappers from
the earliest moments of their lives. To
these two facts. we tossers of the fly
and bait can thank the gods Of the
great outdoors for the large number
OF bass that are found all over this
little old country.
And to another good point Of the
BASES we can give thanks and that is
the family instinct which makes the
bass, both the old daddy of the odd
thousands of youngsters and the moth
or, zealously protect the young flap
pers until they are able to skirmish
around and hold up their own end.
As long as the little cusses stick to-
gether around the home nest in a
bunch, the parent fish guard them
with a watchful eye. and a set Of
spikes that can cut their way through
any enemy, but let the youngsters as
sert their independence and strike out
for themselves, and its a ten to one
shot that they are more likely to be
eaten by their own parents than by
any Of the waiting enemies in the out
side waters.
The spawning season for the bass
varies as to different localities. and Is
often affected by the condition Of the
season. A late cold spring will set 1t
back considerable. while an early
warm spring advances it somewhat.
In the South the spawning generally
begins in March and In the Middle and
Eastern States II begins about the
first week in May. and extends into
July, as a rule the large mouth start
spawning about two weeks after the
small-mouth.
The small-mouth build their nests in
the gravel or rocky bottoms as pref
erence or on a sandy or clay bottom
as a second choice, while the large
mouth prefer to nest on the roots OF
the underwater plants. These hsh
bungalows are located IN foot or Two
OF water, because the water in the
shadows near shore is warmer than in
the deeper pools and the sun gets a
chance to shoot some of its heat into
the nest. One family of pair of bass
certainly runs Up into figures, they
are great little anti-race suicide adyo-
Gates. They average about l'0OV
Youngsters to the pound weight OF the
mater bass and at that rate a three
mound female of the species would
have a nice little crowd Of $1,000 tiny
tail kickers starting out in life to
make things interesting for the fish
ermen. OF course the entire OUTFIT
never grows up to the point where
they pass the legal limit, but enough
of them do grow up to make things
lively in the fishing game.
After hanging around home for
about a week or ten days, the roaming
instinct asserts itself and the little
fellors' hike out for themselves and
