Engleside Hotel, Beach Haven, N. J. — The suc- 

 cess of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Mendenhall and son, 

 of Bordentown, N. J., as fishermen, is the subject 

 of comment among lovers of that sport at Beach 

 Haven. They have caught in 5 days 810 weakfish 

 weighing from 2 to 3V2 pounds. 



The genus swinus seems to thrive on salt 

 water, as well as on fresh. — Editor. 



A Los Angeles paper published a report 

 of a day's catch of fish, off Coronado, in 

 which a large number jf " alleged " sports- 

 men participated. The score is said to have 

 been as follows : Barracuda, 1580 ; yellow- 

 tail, 7 ; halibut, 56 ; Spanish mackerel, 18 ; 

 sea bass, 45 ; a total of 1706 fish. 



The reporter goes on to explain carefully 

 that the fish were not wasted ; that they 

 were sold to the fish-dealers, were salted, 

 and eventually shipped out to consumers. 



This is no excuse. A man who will de- 

 liberately tire himself out, killing 20 or 30 

 big fish in a day, such as the barracuda, 

 should not seek an excuse in the fact 'hat he 

 or his boatman sells the fish to a dealer. 

 Nothing but pure hoggishness would ev^r 

 prompt a man to engage in such merciless 

 slaughter as this ; and a man who does so 

 may just as well declare his nature at the 

 start. 



They were speaking of the actress, who 

 was one of these modern — very modern — 

 blondes. 



" You know her, I believe? " said one. 



" Know her! " exclaimed the other; " I 

 used to know her when she was a brunette."

" Pa," said little Willie, propounding his 

 sixteenth question. 



" Well, my son." 



" Pa, how'd the man who named the first 

 bicycle know it was a bicycle? " — Tit-Bits. 



Minnie — What frauds these beggars are. 

 I met a " blind " man who said, " Please 

 give me a penny, beautiful lady ! " 



Mamie — Yes, he said that to make you 

 think he really was blind. — Tit-Bits.
