AtoST CATCH

No sport offers greater excite
ment than fishing for tarpon from
a canoe. The six-foot monster
may throw his glistening body
high above your head and. plung-
ing down, swamp your frail craft;
he may tow you mile or so
straight out to sea, where the
water is rough, and then break
away, or, perhaps after a terrific
struggle, he may give in and allow
you to bring him alongside, quiv-
ering and exhausted. In The
Book of the Tarpon, Mr.. A. w.
Dimock recounts a thrilling incl
dent that happened on the Florida
fishing grounds.
AS the outgoing tide ran low,
says the author, we put off in the
canoe and anchored where the
tarpon had been rising. | let my
bait trail aft with the tide. 1t
had drifted scarcely fifty from
the canoe when it was caught by
a tarpon, which ran out three
hundred feet of line before the
captain had the anchor aboard.
Then the padding became fierce.
| put a twenty-pound strain on
the line and worked the handle of
my leel as if it had been a wind
lass. After the fish had leaped
three times | supposed that had
tired it, but it started away with
renewed vigor.
We were being carried toward
the breakers and in two minutes
were being tossed about by the
rough water. where the rollers
from the gulf met the tide from
the pass. Here the tarpon jump
ed several times and made a final
squirt, but we finally drew the
canoe beside it.
Taking the shank of the hook
in my left hand, | was cutting it |
free from the tarpon's jaw when,
the open mouth of a
from beneath the canoe
slipped over the body of the fish |
and closing, cut it in two. | |
threw myself backward and near
Iy fell from the canoe, which took |
in gallons of water. In our at
tempts to balance the cockleshell
we made it careen so far that the
captain went overheard. A mo-
nent later he was swimming with
one hand on the gunwale.
"Climbaboard, quick" shout
ed, thinking of the great shark
hat had room enough left in its
stomach to accommodate the cap
ain.
Cant do it without swapping
you. Paddle for the beach out
side the pass. I'll hang on here
md swim with YOU"
Ipaddled as if for life, with the
JiSion Of those cruel jaws closing
through the living body of the
zig tarpon. | tried to talk cheer

grisly spectre from his mind, but

Absent N Indedness.

A parson noted for his absent
mindedness had a habit of for
getting something he intended to
say in the pulpit. Then, after
sitting down, he would rise up
again and begin his supplement-
airy remarks with. by the way"
Recently he finished his prayer,
hesitated, forgot what he was
about, and sat down abruptly
without closing. In a moment,
however, he rose, pointed his
finger at hisamazed congregation
and exclaimed:
"Oh, by the way, Amen. +"

Boiled Milk.

When boiling milk most people throw
away the skin which forms as the
milk cools. This skin is. OF course. the
cream of the milk, and by throwing it
away the richness Of the milk is vast
ed. Instead, when the milk is just
boiled, put 1t into jug and stand it
in basin not as deep as the jug and
let cold water run into the basin to
cool the milk quickly AT the same
time stir the milk, and the cream win
intermix again. When the milk is cold
there will be no skin, and it will there
fore be MS rich in cream as before be-
ing boiled.

PREDATORY AGRICULTURE.

The belligerent nations are facing
famine. All Europe is threatened
with hunger There Is scarcity OF
food in the United States and through
out the world 1t is recognized by
economists and all humanitarians that
the most vital need of mankind in this
year OF our Lord is an increased pro-
duction Of foodstuffs 1t is recognized
that every man who makes two pota-
toes or two ears of corn grow where
one grew before is performing serv-
Ice for humanity. And yet, in the face
Of this great need, we find the presi-
dent OF the Cook county tlll) Garden
Ing Association preaching this narrow,
selfish and destructive gospel.
I'VE recommend to farmers to keep
out Of the city with their wagons
The system now Is to pack the vege-
tables III fancy way and discard the
extra supply 1t means dearer ycge-
tables, but It's the only way the farm
er can exist
We make efforts to increase the
productivity OF the soil. Overproduc-
ton results, 1t Is to the farmers in
terest to throw away from one.half to
.wo.thirds of his crop il ii keeps up
the prices"
II there Is any more sordid and i'm
moral doctrine than this preached by
any enemy of society, we don't know
what 1t is. Tie farmer who deliber-
ately curtails production, destroys
food and makes thousands go hungry
and millions pay higher prices IL no
better than the pirate or the pillager
who destroys for the lust OF destrue.
ton, And any intelligent farmer or
gardener ought to know that, aside
from the moral considerations, the
practice advocated Is wrong from the
standpoint of material interest.
No permanent gain can come to any
class of society from destroying
wealth There may seem to be gain
in isolated cases. but in the long .ur
the producer himself will lose.

SAVING FARMERS s1oo,ooo,oco.

II will be new experience, ana i

United States to get loans at per

federal farm loan board to prevail
throughout the country regardless OF
local rates in the different sections.
Il Is. higher than the rates paid Tor
similar loans in most foreign couE-

It comes as godsend.
The present average interest rate IN
the United States is said to be IA per
cent. It Is estimated that when the
system gets into good running order,
American farmers will save $l0O,OO0.-
600 a year in interest charges The
biggest saving will be in the West
and South, where the new rate just
about cuts the old one in two.
Along with this boon the farmers
will OF course have the advantage o.
letting their loans run anywhere from
Ave to 40 years, and of paying on the
principal In annual installments If
