Anxiety and Thrills.

asking no odds
Anxiety aud Thrills.
It often happens that n fish weighs
much more than the angler. In my case
my 1862 pound marlin swortlfish was six
pounds heavier than / am. but that was
nothing to he compared with the anxiety
l felt for twenty-five minutes. Anxiety
Is the only word for II. Will the rod
stand the strain? Will the threadlike line
break? Will the fish as 1t leaps out Of
the water slash the line and end It all?
Anxiety is the chief thing that you feel
except the thrills.
The thrills of the fight overcome your
anxiety, but once the FISH has leaped
and is back again and you are trying
to keep n taut line and the marlin
starts out on fresh manPuvre. are you
sure YOU are going to do the rglht thing
to checkmate him? That's the rub. \
uIscalculation and perhaps days of en-
deavor are lost
No two swordfish act alike any more
than two men or women act alike That
is one OF the JOYS OF big game angling I:
you never can tell what Is next on the
programme. You may take marlin
swordhsh in twenty-five minutes and
you may fight II for twenty-five hours
anu nave IL get away NHei tie Dpat-
man has his hand on the leader, as has
happened.
In angling for swordfsh you put on
'teaser," dying fish tied to pieces of
line and towed fifteen or twenty feet be-
hind the boat. The anglers bait may
be thirty feet behind the "teasers" Tho
"teasers' attract the swordfish. which
are then pulled in and you wait for q
strike.
Biff. bang, and the hook goes of at
incredible speed and then the marlin
swordfish, as an overture, will leap out
of the water to show you his size and
acrobatic abilities, and having done this
you both are ready for the combat.
After that first Jump there is no tell
ing Just what a swordfsh will do. The
fish may go off in a straight line like
rabbit following trail to safety, OF
1t may turn at a right angle and make
n curve or sag In the line that often
spells liberty for the fish.
On the other hand 1t may not come
out OF the water at all. but keeping
close to the surface break water every
few feet. The next tactic may be TO
go down two or three hundred feet. but
this rarely happens unless the fish Is
near exhaustion and takes this means
OF playing waiting game In the hope
OF safety; also in the pumping"
process. INDUCED in BY the angler, the
line may break.
The big thing after n swordish makes
a long run is to pick up quickly your
slack line You enjoy these runs, but 1t
spells disaster if the slack line Is not
taken up. Give fish slack line and you
show him the way 20 liberty.

Milan. italy. June 1S.-(Special
Correspondence).- An aerial tank

diers who have astounded the world
by their extraordinary feats in
mountain warfare. An Austrian
machine gun emplacement was so
situated on a mountain side that 1t
poured an harassing fire into an
italian post The Austrian position
was unassailable by ordinary means,
but according to the Corfiere della
Sera. of this city. It was absolutely
necessary that it be wiped out.
A 'Teleferica" car. many OF which
are operated by the Italians across
chasms and up mountain sides, was
armored and equipped with machine
guns. Volunteers were called for.
ard from the many who responded
two were chosen to man the guns.
This improvised aerial dreadnought
was then swung out across the val

A $40 Dream.

One night last week Herbert Owens
had the d. T.'s.
He was rooming in the same house
with Clara Mason and Maude Wayne.
He got up about midnight and
threw a shoe in Maude's room. scar
ing her almost into a fit.
Then he went into Clara's room and
knelt down beside her bed and said
his prayers. So Clara said.
Clara pushed him away with her
foot Herbert grabbed the foot and
bit it.
Clara yelled. Maude got up and
went to see what was the matter.
Herbert grabbed both women. and
knocked their heads together.
Maude grabbed a stick and let him
have 1t over the head. Clara got
him by the neck and held on until q
cop came in.
The two girls were scratched and
bruised from head to foot. Herbert
was pretty well bunged up. The cops
bandaged his head where Maude
struck him with the stick.
or course the next morning Herbert
knew nothing about IL. He couldn't
remember what he did or anything
about It.
But that did not stop the court
from fining him $40 in the two cases.
Why Worry a Tired Mani
"Jedge. de odder night wen All got
home fun work All was all tiahed
out All sets mahseff down on de
poach to res nah bones.
Nah wife kept hollern' at me. All
tole her to shet up en- lemme alone.
She wouldn't do it,
But what did you strike her for?"
the court asked Millard Thompson.
who was charged with an assault on
Josie. his wife.
"Ah neber hit dat woman. Jedge. -
persisted Millard. She jes' dreamed
dat All hit her."
''Yes. but you put her to sleep after
you hit her. and she must have
dreamed something then" remarked
the court.
The whole trouble grew out Of Mill
lard's reluctance to go up stairs and
nail down some mating.
His wife had been after him all
summer to put down this mating.
She is SO stout that she cannot do it
herself.
Josie said that Millard was never
too tired to go out every evening to
shoot crap or play pool.
So, why should he be too tired 20
do odd Jobs around the house. she
argued.
The court suspended a thirty-day
bonds not to repeat the offense.
Jim Butts I'm.
The other day when Bill Henderson
got paid OF by the District govern
ment, he stood outside the pay once
for q few minutes.
A man walked up to him and asked
him to change a IS bill. Bill handed
him five ones and the man walked on.
A second or two later Bill discov-
cred that the man hadn't given him
the S bill for the Eve ones. He called
him back.
The man argued that he had given
Bill his five spot. Bill insisted that
he had not.
Another man, Jim Reeder. showed
tup and butt in. Dat man did glib yc
| de five," put in Jim, zen ef yo says ne
didn't All will shoot 20, cause dat
man is a fren OBJ mine"
"Ef 20 IL gwine to shoot" said Bill,
Ego ahead en- shoot"
Jim did. He shot Bill on the side
OF the face and in the shoulder.
Then the cops took a hand and ar
rested Jim and took his gun away
from him.
He pleaded guilty in court to q
charge Of assault with a dangerous
weapon
That being the case. he was put un-
1 der 81 900 bonds tn await the action ol
the grand jury.

TO SHOOT ON

100 from Capital to Attend
Contest at Saunders, Nd,
This Week.

, More than Q thousand expert
rifle shots are scheduled to face the
targets on the State range al
Saunders, Nd. in the two-days
shooting contest which begins Sat-
urday morning. ending Sunday after
noon. OF these, over one hundred
viii go from Washington. compris-
ing the best rife shots in this city
The contest in question will be
one of the most important ever
held in the country. and Is attract
ing a great deal of attention from a
high class OF shooters. It involves
the annual championship matches
Of the National Rife Association
rife clubs of Maryland. and the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and is under the
immediate direction of Maj. william
C. 'Harlee. U. s. M. c., vice presi-
dent OF the National Rife A ssocia-
tion, and member of the national
board for promotion of rife prac-
tice.

Teams from the Naval Academy
Rifle range, Annapolis, Md, and the
navy rife range. Burnie. Nd, will
enter for their regular annual di-
vision team competition. What
ever score they make will count
in their official qualifications.
The Navy Department is heartily
in accord with the idea of holding
these annual contests. and is giving
every encouragement to the one in
question. 1t recognizes the fact that
the naval cadets from Annapolis
will be pitted against some of the
best rife shots in the United States,
and seems anxious to encourage this
spirit of friendly rivalry on account
Of the excellent training 1t will af-
ford its future naval officers.
Maj. Harlee deserves a great deal
of credit for his efforts in arranging
these contests. so it Is claimed by
members OF the different local rifle
clubs. Several years ago, when he
first began an agitation OF the idea,
participants were allowed but lOC
rounds of ammunition each by the
government. Now they are given an
unlimited quantity. and It is estimated
that thousands of rounds will be shot
each day in the series OF matches.
Best Shots Going.
Col. n. A. Winter, president Of the
Washington Rifle Club. and command
ing officer of the Home Defense

him that II he did go, he must not
come home full and worry her
on he went to. Baltimore with his
weeks wages. Back he came with
skin full and no money.
He reached home about .. m
Amanda wasn't there. He waited un-

she was all in.
