1t happened while he was fishing

peeler crab for bait. The first one
struck like big hardhead, but didn't
give too much of an argument as he
started reeling it in. It was almost
up to the boat when another came
along and took the other hook. To-
gether they drew out a little line,
but Clements frightened his drag and
got them both aboard safely. They
turned out to be the only blues caught
by his party, and he almost lost them
as he was using hooks snelled with
gut. The fish had cut all but one
piece of gut on each hook. Blues
have sharp teeth, and whenever
there Is a possibility that you may
catch one it Is advisable to use hooks
snelled with cable or wire. To find
out how really hard and sharp a blues
teeth are, it is only necessary to look
at the scars on an old spoon or feather
which has seen service among them

THE sixth Cumberland Dog Show

proved disappointment 10 many
Of the exhibitors, the show-giving club
and its able superintendent, E. L. Joel.
From steady climb to an entry of
close to 500 in 1885 it dropped to an
entry of 281 this year.
Many factors are blamed for this.
The date, the last Saturday in August,
long reserved for this show by the
American Kennel Club, was used this
year by one or two other clubs on the
Eastern circuit. Some entries were
doubtlessly DETECTED to those shows.
While ostensibly the dog show is
sponsored by the Cumberland Fair
Association. in reality the fair has
paid less and less attention to the live
stock and other legitimate exhibits of
a State or county fair, and has de-
voted more and more attention to the
horse races.
The locale Of the show mill
tates against it. While the fair
grounds are in a beautiful, nat
ural bowl of the mountains,
what man has done to the place
Is not pretty to see.
The buildings devoted to the show
are both inadequate and inconvenient.
Lastly, many of the active members
of the Western Maryland Kennel
Club are interested in Boston terriers
and nothing else. They got out the
Boston entry to total of 81 dogs,
but forgot that in an all-breed show
there ought to be entries of fair size
in many breeds.
Dogs from Washington and nearby
made an unusually good record at this
show, many Of them attaining group
honors. In group I, the English set
ter Potomac Senator, owned by Ed.
Altemus of Bethesda, placed second
in the group. In hounds, that out
standing whippet Ch. Mica of Me-
ander, owned by the Meander Ken
nels of Locust Dale. Va, placed first.
Two local dogs made good in the
working group. Tommy O's Freya, a
Doberman Pinscher bred in Rockville,
Md, by Thomas Owings, was second,
and DR.. w. R. Compton's seven
month-old German Shepherd Claus
of Clarandall was fourth in the group.
Third in the terrier group was taken
by the standard schnauser Maxine
Won Reinhard, owned by Mrs. j. j

when Hector was pupi
Hector was a pup not as long ago
as you might imagine. He was whelped
on July 10, 1891. a mere As years ago.
His pedigree, for a Boston terrier,
which was at that time a very young
breed, was uninpeachable, SO he was
entered in the stud book as No. 28814.
And as registered dog at that time
was even more rare than now, he was
the pride and joy of Joseph A. Locke
Of Chicago. who bought him from the
breeder, George F. Huse of Boston.
1t is not told how many Hec-
tors have been registered since
that time. But 1t must now be
definitely assumed when any
body say "since Hector was
pup" that he is referring to the
time when the first Hector was
registered.
Hector's pedigree may be traced
clear back to the original cross that
started the Boston terrier breed. This
is given as the result of a mating be-
tween a dog named Judge. owned by
Robert c. Hooper of Boston, and a
bitch named Gyp, owned by Ed Bur-
nett of Southboro, Mass. Judge was
a cross between an English bulldog
and a white English terrier, brindle
dog with a white blaze. Gyp was
white, breed or breeds not given.

Plague of Repetition.

Repetition, 1t has been said. is argu.

also may be regarded as irritation. For
example, in recent months radio script
writer's have made habit of redundancy.
Even the best programs have been
spoiled by floods of language poured
out in the theoretical interest of per-
suasion. The sponsors, it seems, have
felt that they must argue their audiences
into a state of exhaustion. But the
effect has been exactly contrary to their
hopes. They may not realize it, yet it
happens to be true that people do not
wish to be sold" against their will.
To illustrate the point, one Washing
ton family timed certain fifteen minute
feature to discover the proportion of
advertising to entertainment during the
quarter-hour period. The clock showed
that, apparently by deliberate design,
seven. and half minutes were allotted
to each. BY actual count, the announcer

Iammany Will March.
President Roosevelt having w;tbdrs

President Roosevelt having withdrawn
his objection to a spectacular inaugural
display on the goth of January, prepa-
rations are afoot for the event on
q scale of splendor heretofore unattained.
A mighty host will attend, from all parts
Of the country. Not all of those who
voted "yea" on election day on the ques-
ton of a second term will come of
course, but contingents fairly representa-
tive of the twenty seven million who cast
affirmative ballots will be present. One
of these contingents will be Tammany
Hall, full thousand of whose numbers
will be present for the occasion. 1t has
Just been announced in New York that
arrangements are being made now for
this march of the braves, who will leave
Manhattan on a special train on the
18th of January and will remain at
the Capital until the day after the cere-
mony.
On March 4, 1882, the Tammany dele
cation at the first Inauguration Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt numbered eight hundred.
The addition Of twenty-five per cent to
that strength is not due to an increase
in membership. 1t is due to changed
political psychology. And back of that
change is one of those strange phe-
nomena peculiar to American politics.
-Four years ago TamFany did not see

administration. The President-elect did
not think highly of the then leader of
the Hail." John F. Curry. Tammany had
little hope of profit in the form of pat
ronage from the change OF political
parties at Washington. In fact. 1t Jared
rather badly in the distribution Of the
perquisites.
But a change has occurred in the Tam
many leadership, and James j. Dooling.
the new leader, is more favorably re-
garded in Washington. AS sign Of the
new dispensation just lately the distri-
button of some 5000 temporary jobs in
the New York Post, once, incident to
the Christmas mail rush, has been turned
over to Leader Dooling and his ieuten-
ants. These comparative crumbs are
regarded as pledges Of richer largess
later. So Tammany is now organizing
a record breaking delegation Of braves
to come to the Inauguration. They will
march as a unit. headed by . famous
band-that of the l65th Regiment, for
merly the old Fighting 69th."
1t is not yet disclosed whether one Of
the most famous walkers" Of Tammany
will march in the parade. He has made
no remark on the subject. Maybe he
will fall in line with his brother braves
and come to see his "old potato" inducted
into office for the second time, in conse-
quence of an election which he did his
utmost to prevent. If SO, he will easily
be the center of interest in the serried
ranks, even If he does wear the high hat
of the marching regalia of Tammany
and not the palmer form Of headgear
which has long been his conspicuous
attribute.

The question Of sheer physical weight
n rana I'd IN hoc,ks is q sas.iniIs ofaa

Inc QUESTION OF SneeT PHYSICAL WclSI1t
in regard to books is a serious one.
While the movement to reprint old
expensive two-volume works in one large
volume at a much reduced price is a
worthy one, it has resulted in individual
books almost impossible to hold.
Even the athletic reader does not want
book which tires lis arm in handling it..
If the booklover who likes to read in
bed attempts to hold one Of these pom
derous works in few minutes he dis
covers it is literally boring into his chest.
To sell book for $395 which formerly
sold-in two volumes-for $25 Is a pub
fishing feat, but one often accomplished
at the fatigue of honest purchasers.
The old two-volume set, long out OF
print, is dished up again to a far wider
audience. but the enthusiastic buyer
shortly discovers that something is the
matter.
Unless he is an old hand with books,
having loved them and purchased them
all his life, he may never realize just
what is wrong.
1t is sheer weight.
To be really comfortable handling,
over several hours, book should be
weighed in the ounces, not by the pounds.
The English, of all peoples, seemed to
have solved this problem the best. In
order to keep long book light they used
a soft, lightweight paper.
People who love books as things, as
well as for content, as reading matter,
know that one for many years could tell
an English book by picking it up.
One invariably had sense Of surprise
at the moment of lifting the book.
This, of course, is as it should be. Not
only is there a delightful sense Of re-
lief, with such a volume in the hands,
but also a great lift" as a booklover in
finding a book put out with realistic
sense of the eternal fitness of things.
For reading, after all, is physical as
we'll as mental. One must hold the book.
Ordinarily this is not great physical
task. but If one reads for several hours
at a stretch it will be found to be tire
some when the volume weighs into the
pounds.
Ordinarily huge. massive books were
reserved for reference works. The best
example, of course, is the unabridged die
tionary.
No one in his right mind would think
of holding such book IN his hands, even
if he could do so; there is some doubt
that even an athlete would find it an
easy matter, and certainly not for any
considerable period.
Before the reprint editions OF the past
two years came into their own 1t was
always easy to tell the difference between
a book printed in this country and in
England.
Almost invariably the book which gave
one pleasant sense of lightneSs was the
British book, even if it bore an American
binding and name of an American pub
Usher.
If one opened to the title page, or back
thereof, or sometimes to the very last
pages, he always found Printed in Great
Britain
1t wasn't the printing, of course, but
the lightweight paper used. which did
the trick and gave the reader an easily
held. bookish sort of book
Perhaps this love of light weight goes
back to the very earliest days of books. :"
in any form, even to the rolls which
the Romans and Greeks used. At any
rate, there is an exceptional sense of the
