Fish. Snakes and Nature Takers

have been seen and experienced with fisherman's eye and perceptions This is perfectly understood by hs- tening fishermen, and they, to tneir enjoyment and edification, are per mitted (by a properly adjusted men, tai equipment) to believe what they hear.
 There are skeptics even among fishermen themselves would seem evident, however, from this self-re- vealing invocation with which the Canadian writer prefaces his disser- tation:
 o Ananias! Father of all lies, Inspire me here beneath these sum-
 mer skies,
 While I recline among mendacious
 guys,
 That I, too, may depict the fantom
 rise
 Of that Host fish" of most enor-
 nous size. Give me the patience to sit camly
 by,
 While amateurs with veterans grave
 ly vie
 Accounting deeds performed with
 rod and fly, Then help me to tell the final crown
 ing lie!
 If we are to accept Mir. Cleve- lands theory, it is of advantage to feed the mind occasionally with du- bious fodder. And in the way of novel fish-stories, we clip the fol- lowing most timely item from The Fishing Gazette (New York;.
 Some artful fish dealer and cun- ming propagandist having started the rumor that lovely liquor is being smuggled across the Canadian bord- CT in the interior of fish, the ru- nor carrying with it the story of an East-side fish dealer who is be- ing supplied steadily with his morn- ing encouragement in this way, tremendous leap in fish sales Is ex- pected within the next few weeks.
 ''That fish-tory is too good to be true murmured one of the dealers in disconsolate voice when re- porter of the Fishing Gazette sought him out in an effort to run down the story.

Is your "believeing apparatus
 ready for the fish-story season! Has | it been properly regulated and stimulated?" Let him that sitteth l in the seat of the scornful be wary,
 advises a Canadian writer, how he condemns the piscatorial prodigy, for his lack of faith may reflect upon his mental capacity. The angler who has no imagination IS Just no angler at all--indeed, to the true | fisherman "there will never be such
 thing as a day without catch, for what is lacking the mind Will
 easily make up if given it's own free
 sway" This writer of Dusk and
 Ember Papers" in Rod and Gun in Canada (Woodstock. Ont.) quotes that one-time devout angler, Grover
 Cleveland, as saying that the un- believer is most likely a squaw-fish- erman. Mir. Cleveland, approach ing the subject with the large ser iousness it deserves. said:
 It must of course, be admitted that large stories of fishing adven- ture are something told by fisher men-and why should this not be so! Bey0nQ all QueSlloH IHeIe lS no sphere of human activity so full of strange and wonderful in cidents as theirs. Fish are con- stantly doing their most myterious and startling things; and no one has yet been wise enough to ex- plain their ways or account for their conduct. The best fishermen do not attempt it; they move and strive in the atmosphere of mystery and uncertainty, constantly aiming to reach results without clue, and through the cultivation of faculties non-existent, or imperative in the common mind. In these .circum- stances fishermen necessarily see and do wonderful things. If those not members of the brotherhood are unable to assimilate the recital of these wonders, it is because their believing apparatus has not been properly regulated and stimulated. Such disability falls far short of justifying doubt as to the truth of the narration. The things narrated

notes The animal utters various sounds and these are signals for the master to follow up or retire as the case may require. The animal is trained to vary the cry whether the enemy is approaching or re- treating.
 Some of these foxes have been trained to perform almost incredible deeds on behalf of their masters. For example, when the spy comes to precipice or cliff he finds it impossible to ascend, he puts the end of rope in the fox's mouth the animal finds it's way up the cliff as no human being could do and when it reaches the top it walks round and round tree holding the rope in it's mouth, while the man at the other end pulls himself up the cliff. The fox will hold on till the master arrives. In the same way the animal is used to discover a way down cliffs or precipices, he can also fasten his rope to a tree, using bow-knot; and after he descends the rope the fox will pull open the knot and the man recovers his rope. If the spy is obliged to pass the night in a mountain or some re- mote place where the air is very cold, the fox will lie up against him all night and keep him warm. The animal has a keener sense of smell and better instinct for sit nations than his master, and is thus able to keep the latter informed about every step of the way.
 There are frequent references to the use of animals in this capacity in Japanese literature. For exam pie, in the famous novel "Yumihari- zuki," Tametomo is represented one | day while he was out hunting, as being rescued by his dog, Nokaze, | from venomous serpent.
 The fox can even make light for his master when the darkness is too extreme. All the master has to do is to give him a certain kind of bone to carry, and as he breathes on it there is an emission of phos- phorscence that the man can easily see and follow the animal. The bone can be picked up often in any of the mountains where skele- tons of dead animals are found. If

an enemy sees this light he is more apt to be afraid of it than to ap- proach it, as he thinks it a will-o'- the-wisp. Even spies placed in charge of barriers used to keep dog or fox always near them, as this precaution allowed them to doze or even sleep on duty; and also when a spy was surveying an ene- my's position the fox enabled the master to know whether the senti. nel was asleep or awake, and how the situation was. Rats, too, were used as spies by the army officers of feudal Japan. The spy carried his pet rat in his sleeve. On ap- preaching the position to be spied upon, he took the animal from his sleeve and let it go free. The rat was trained to pick up any bit of paper it could find and bring it to its master. Accordingly it would penetrate into the experiments Of the officers of the enemy camp n a noiseless manner and steal oil with any pieces of paper It saw, which perchance might contain the enemy's plan of campaign or tac- tics for the ensuing battle. Some times the rat was trained to make a noise in the enemy camp ana awake the sentinels, so that after finding they had been disturbed only by a rat, they would become more indifferent than ever and go sound, ly to sleep, not to be awakened by the human spy close on the trall of the rat. In this way many spiy has been able to steal mlo a Samurai camp and get away "l'n valuable information.
 Another dodge was to hlde ons, self under the floor of the enemy , house or camp, and let out is Ias rat to find whether the occupahS of the house were asleep or awaAs, s, or. if asleep, whether they wsis .hs sleeping soundly or not. For las .ns reason the floors of Daimio hOusss ss were made double and in the csse sSe of Greater Daimio, including ,D m shogun, threefold. Now It IS Suy 0at posed to be done to Keep oSon vS dampness, but the originai ies,U, sr~. was to prevent the entrance oi 'p' ing rats.

ations and a love theme that embraces youth and romance. Such production is Three Gold Coins" and 1t is a safe statement that it will be found fully up to the standard of anything yet offered by this invincible western exponent.
 The locale of the story is the west of the early days, that country of the big open plains, where romance and adventure stalked boldly throughout the land, where rxen battled men in the struggle for supremacy, where cattle thieves defied the law, and where of ficers risked their lives that the pio neers might be kept free from the con stant menace of the outlaws, where law enforcement in many cases meant the Quickness with the six gun, and where men lived or died according to their ability to shoot straight.
 Into this element drifts the hero of this narrative-Tom Mix, and out of the material he has made a western story that radiates virile action, dra- matic suspense and inspiring incidents.
 The same program carries several added features, including the Mutt and Jeff cartoon comedy and a selected two reel western story.

GOING SOME OPENS ENGAGEMENT AT THE
 COLUMBIA TO-DAY

Going Some,' by Rex Beach. the latest of this authors productions, is a story of the eternal antagonism be- tween the cattle ranchers and sheep ranchers of the West. It is humor- ous and contains many thrills of the kind that lovers of the screen appre- ciate. The story in detail Is as fol- lows:
 At the first inter r-collegiate meet following the war are Mrs. Roberta Reap (Ethel Grey Terry), Helen Blake
 Gillian HalD, and Jean Chapin
 (Helen Ferguson). Jean is engaged to marry Roberta's brother. Culver Covington Crank Braidwood), Yale's crack sprinter. Roberta's husband, Captain Donald Reap, CKenneth liar lan), has just returned from over seas
 Prior to his crossing the Atlantic, he and Roberta had quarrelled. and her aatitude now Is not one that promises reconciliation Helen Blake meets and is ardently courted by Berkeley Fresno (Walter Hiers). the fat col
 lege tenor, and J. Wallingford Sdeep Cullen Landis), who lives up to his name. To impress Helen, Speed tells her a wonderful tale of fiction about 1 his prowess on the track.
 Mrs. Gallagher Gillian Langdon). owner of the ranch adjoining the Keaps. is not in love with her neigh bor's outfit When the keaps arrIve with a crowd of visitors they find l their men downcast and broke. Their star runner had been beaten by Gal | llagher's man. Skinner (M. B. F1ynn). 1 Roberta assures them that Covington will win back their money, but he is unable to run and Roberta offers the 1 lege tenor. and J. Wallingford Speed | has brought the college trainer along with him as a bluff. Glass (Willard | Louis). the trainer. and Speed are obliged to start in training. Although he is put through . rigorous course
 of training Speed knows that he | stands no chance against Skinner. Mrs. Gallagher. an inveterate gambler, bets her entire ranch against the Keap's run down outfit on the out come of the race.
 Just before the race oil is discovered on the Reap ranch which enhances its value a great deal To keep the bet
 on the original terms after the discov- cry of oil would mean a big loss to the Keaps and would be unfair. The 1 strengthening out of this puzzle forms the climax to a story of absorbing in terest.
