FISH COMING IN

DOUGLAS, April 29.-The Pilgrim was in from the fishing banks yes terday with $500 pounds of halibut and the Celtic arrived this morning with 4,000 pounds, both cargoes be- ing purchased by the A. c. Fish Co.,, which will have a good shipment for the steamer Seattle Wednesday. The fishing business is now regularly open for the season and, barring the drafting of the fishermen for military service, this portion of the country will do it's share toward supplying substantial food for hundreds of thousands of people during the next six or eight months. Many are of the opinion that it will be a great mistake to draft fishermen at the present time as they are needed on the food line.

FONDNESS FOR PETS LEADS TO TROUBLE

Gladys Leslie's fondness for ani- mals played havoc with the filming of scene in a recent Vitagraph fea- ture. Harry Mercy was in the role of blacksmith and of course there was a dog around the shop, which was his especial property. Miss Les lie demurred and to humor his little star he obtained a kitten about as big as minute and Miss Leslie was perfectly satisfied

~~ A ! ~TRAAP m9 %A] FIELD iE1 EE1|

Many sportsmen find it interesting and pleasant experience to take one
 of their favorite rifles or shotguns
 and improve it's appearance by check
 ering the stock of forearm.
 This is an art in itself and the
 amateur will find that experience is
 the best teacher. A good plan to
 is to take a block of walnut with a
 polished or smooth surface and draw
 two lines diagonal to each other The shape of the diamond produced by the checkering is dependent upon
 the angle formed by these first two lines.
 A hand tracing tool with three par allel scraping surfaces is then used, starting on the diagonal lines. This tracing tool simply marks the lines for filing, after the surface of the stock is still flat but marked with the parallel lines, crossing each other diagonally.
 These lines serve as guides and the stock is then filed with a small
 hand triangular file cutting into the
 wood to shape up the small diamonds
 and the stock is afterwood gone over finally with file to perfect the shape of the diamonds and raise the
 small points at the top of each dia- mond
 After this is done border may be put on with small hand tool with two parallel cutters. These
 serve to give a finished appearance to the checkering.
 Ordinarily the process of check ering the stocks and forearms of
 factory-produced guns is all hand
 work and done by skillful help. Al though of course not an unusual operation, it requires ordinarily six
 or eight months time to learn; in
 fact, some operatives are never sue cessful in mastering the trick. The amateur, however, will derive much satisfaction from the experience of checkering his own guns and by exercising a little care and patience will be agreeably surprised with the results of his handiwork
