LEGENDS TOLD OF HARPIES
In Mythology It Is Related That They
SWooped Down and DespoiIed
the Table Of Aeneas.

Harpies were celebrated in many
ancient tales as race Of monsters
that infested certain shores. They
were usually represented as having
woman's head and the upper part Of
the body and birds wings, tail, legs
and claws, says the Detroit News.
1t is related that these fierce mon
sters flew down upon Aeneas and an
expedition from Rome, when the
party had landed for rest and refresh
ment among group Of Grecian Is
lands, and carried away the food from
the table before them, and even at
tackled the men themselves.
The men then armed themselves
with swords secretly and waited for
the next approach of the harpies.

CHAPTER VIII
I'D Captain.

Stillwell's interest in the revolution
across the Mexican line had manifestly
Increased with the news that Gene
Stewart had achieved distinction with
the rebel forces. Thereafter the old
Httleman sent for Ell Paso and Doug
as newspapers, wrote to ranchmen he
knew on the big bend of the Rio
Grande, and he would talk indefinitely
- anyone who would listen to him.
nAese appeared to be no doubt that

she thought, that opposed to the con-
tinual reports of Stewards witness
as he caroused from town to town
were the continual expressions of good
will and faith and hope universally
given out by those near her at the
ranch. Stillwell loved the cowboy !;
Florence was fond of him; Alfred
liked and admired him, pitied him !;
the cowboys swore their regard for
him the more he disgraced himself.
The Mexieans called him Ell Gran
Captain. Madeline's personal opinion
Of Stewart had not changed In the
least since the night it had been
formed. But certain attributes of his,
not clearly defined in her mind, and
the gift Of his beautiful horse, bis

METHODS OF FISHING
CHANGE BUT LITTLE

Strange as il may seem, the jmple-
Ipents and methods of fishing have
changed little since the earliest times.
In the days of Pharoah, the fishermen
on the Nile used nets fastened on the
end of long: Y-shaped poles, not un-
like the modern landing net. Paint
ings on Egyptian tombs show fisher
men at work using drag nets, hooks
and lines and also bronze harpoons.
The Old Testament speaks Familiarity
OF fish hooks
Deep-sea fishermen are the product
kof medieval times, says John d. Whit
ing in the Mentor for July. They
were rough. primitive and supersti-
tious. They fished in advance of
traders. "Skirmished ahead of the
church,' naming islands, rocks and
shoals. Still these fishermen depended
on nets just as men had thousands of
years before. Even today, the men
ments almost identical to those used
by primitive man.
''ln the orient, particularly in
China" says the Mentor Magazine,
fish are caught not with nets. lines
and hooks, but by birds called cor
morants. Young cormorants are
taken from the nests. tanned and
trained. With line fastened to a
leather anklet. they are taken out in
chew of ten or twelve birds that
Nunge into the water and dive after
fish which they store in their roomy
gullet. After every capture the birds
are drawn in and forced 10 disgorge.
At the end of the days work the
birds are permitted to fish for them
selves and swallow what they catch.

DEMPSEY AND FIRPO
FIGHT IN SEPTEMBER
BY FAIRPLAH,

I NEW YORK, July 26-Now that
NTeX Rickard has definitely announced
that Dempsey and Firpo have been
matched to fight this year all the
fans are awaiting such important de-
tails as the time and place and the
money the fighters will receive
The general opinion is that Rickard
and the Polo Grounds promoters have
effected a junction and that the battle
VIII be held here some time in Sep
tembcr, but not on Labor day
Firpo's boxing engagements would
give him no opportunity to prepare
\ himself adequately for Il bout against
Nm opponent SO formidable as Demp-
sey on that holiday
The fact that the Polo Grounds has
IL capacity for only $1,000, whereas
Royle's Thirty Acres accommodates
more than 100000 does not figure
the maximum price in New York,
whereas in New Jersey hasty legis-
lation-for which the Jersey men are
now perhaps sorry-placed the maxi
mum at SIS.
On the other hand, if the Polo
Grounds is the place, why has not
that fact been announced? All in all
the fans may, with some warrant,
suspect that Rickard is juggling with
holders of sites and that in the end
the fight may be held remote from
She metropolis. where no legal
restrictions apply to prices that may
be charged for seats.
AS a sporting proposition the fight
critics as whole believe Firpo is
not yet ready for Dempsey but to
determine how generally wrong fight
experts may be one has but to follow
the various bouts as they take place.
One thing will he demonstrated at
all events. and that is whether or
not Dempsey has really lost his
punch, Firpo will provide him with
an ample, sIoW-movinS target.

For some time golfers have been read
ing about pronation and rotation. Few
! know what the word means, but il sounds
pretty good and anything with an air
of mystery in it is a big thing for the
duner, or I'll go farther and include the
advanced player. l know that the pro-
nation movement is taught, but | am
not one who believes in 1t.
Pronating means turning the right
hand over as the ball is hit, or, rather
just before the ball is hit. The club
starts back with the left hand pronating,
that is to say, with the palm turned
downward. When the swing is made
the hands naturally right themselves at
the impact, but by the fact that the
club is turning into the ball additional
force is given to the blow.
Differs With Others.
This idea is used by many of the best
players for all the shots they play. in
cluding the mashie and the mashie-
ntblick. / use n method which is Just
the reverse. but it obtains results for me
In the way l wish. / will illustrate the
shot with the mashie-nibick. The club
is never taken back very far, as all
golfers know, when we play the mashie
or its half-Sister, the mashie-niblick
What counts most in short iron work is
the follow through. Please do not mis-
take the follow through with the finish
Of the stroke, which is something else
again.
In taking the club back 1 roll the
hands the other way. The club at the
about shoulder high and pointing di-
rectly opposite from the line of flight,
will be faced downward and the right
hand palm down or pronated. At the
impact the face is opened up just as
the ball is hit and a cut Is impaired TO
