THE
MAGIC BASS
By Paul H. Woodruff.
It was along In the latter part of
March that I dropped In on Jack one
evening and found him inspecting a
short, flimsy looking fish-pole.
“You must have It bad," I observed,
"to go fishing in March, with the Ice
not all out yet.”
Jack looked at me in mild astonish
ment.
“Why, I'm not going fishing,” he re
plied, "can't you know. Bass sea
son don’t open 'til the 15th of May.
I'm just looking over my tackle a bit,
to be sure everything is ship-shape.
"In fact," he added, "I may confess
that I will probably do the same thing
every day from now till the season
opens.”
“Well, I suppose you have nothing
else to do with yourself,” was my
scornful comment. "It’s a pity, Jack,
that you haven’t got a man’s work to
do, to make you remember you're not
a kid. How a grown, one hundred
and eighty pound man can spend val
uable hours—yes, days in trying to
fool and capture by strategy a little
four-pound fish that he don’t need is
beyond me. But to idle away the
best of Hie year in gazing at the tools
he uses to delude and ensnare the
slimy objects is—well, the limit.”
"So you cull a four-pound bass lit
tle, do you? Shows you know nothing
about it. Pretty long remark for you,
though, doctor,” said Jack, with a
grin.
That’s the trouble with Jack. When
you get him with an unanswerable ar
gument he grins. One might as well
allow him ills view of things, for he
will take it anyway.
“Well, Jack,” 1 resumed in a less in
dignant one, "I will concede that you
enjoy it. But I should sec the point
more clearly if you fishermen were
adding anything to the world’s store
of knowledge. If you were discover
ing new species of fish, or ways of
propagating them scientifically 1
might be interested.”
“We are adding to the world's store
of simplicity, and contentment, and
right living,” he replied seriously.
“But you bring something to my mind
■that I am very curious about. Per
haps wou would catalogue it as a sci
entific discovery.
“The Indians call it ‘Me-da Mon-nuh-
she-gan,’ which translated means
Magic Bass. He is said to be much
like other black bass in appearance.
But his peculiar attributes are these;
“He must be caught by casting,
with a surface bait, so that you can
see him rise to it. He may be taken
in running water where the clear cur
rent foams over mossy bowlders and
through gurgling, sunlit shallows;
or in the silent pools where the forest
hangs darkly over the stream. He may
be taken at some still lake’s grassy
marge where the water lilies build
him a green and white and golden
canopy; or in the open places when
the west wind’s magic turns the
glassy surface into silver.
"But wherever you find him you
will see that Nature rules supreme.
And whether in brawling stream or
quiet pool, in some peaceful lilied bay
or just beneath the rippled broad ex
panse, where the wild beauty of the
spot makes your heart beat faster,
■there may you find the Magic Bass.
“And this is his magic; That when
you have fought him inch by inch,
an%i have looked upon him as he lay
exhausted in your landing net, you
are his forever. For wherever you go
and whatever you do there will come
to you ever and often a dream of his
first leap into the air, of the tugging
line and of his body at your feet, and
indistinct behind it all will lie the
sparkling water, and the forest and
the blue sky.
In the dead of winter you will of a
sudden hear the soft splash of the
bass rising to your fly; you will feel
the sudden tautness of the line, and
the snow outside your window will
melt into a summer landscape. When
you are busiest there will come to you
the song of the reel and the smell of
pine and fir and balsam. That is the
magic of the Mo-da Mon-nub-sho-gan "
I had meant to laugh. But as 1 fol
lowed without conscious volition
Jack's outburst of imagery, some
elemental emotion, long forgotten,
stirred within me and I seemed to see
as he saw and feel when he felt.
"And how will you recognize the
Magic Bass when you have caught
him, if he so greatly resembles other
bass?" I asked respectfully, even eag
erly.
"You will know,” answered Jack
slowly, “because he will seem to you
to be the most beautiful object you
have ever seen.”
"I am not a fisherman," I said
gravely and without scorn. "But I
know something of men, and the in
fluence must be strong that will move
a large man so easily. I am tempted
to go with you.”
Jack stuck out his hand.
"It's a promise, doctor,” was all he
said.
There arc many men who are horn
with the magic of Nature in their
hearts, who grow up from childhood
unconsciously believing that Heaven
is a place of lakes and brooks, of bills
and forests. There are others who
gradually or suddenly attain to that
sense after years of narrow life and
cramped ideals. I was of the latter.
What a marvelous summer it was!
Onward wo paddled, through lake and
stream and lake again; through foam
ing rapids where the trees hung dark
ly over, and through smiling rivers
where the sun shone brightly on the
meadowy shore. Through pleasant
summer heat that once seemed unen
durable, exulting in the storm that
once seemed awful—ever onward, pur
suing the Magic Bass. And when at
last we were home again with the
color of Indians and hearts of great
content, I said to Jack:
“Well, old fellow, we didn’t get our
Mnglc Bass, after all. The ones we
did get were so beautiful that I almost
forgot to look for him. But next
spring we will go again and I think
we will find him. Here's to the win
ter! May it pass speedily.”
Jack was silent for a long time.
Then with a smile;
nuh-she-gan, doctor,” he said.—The
Outing Magazine.
MUSTACHES ORDERED.
British War Lords and the American
Girl.
American women are just at present
in bad odor with the British military
authorities. For the latter do not
hesitate to iisr.ribe to the all powerful
influence of the daughters of Uncld
Sam tiie growth of the practice by
officers of shaving the upper lip and
parting their hair in the middle. Now
this is contrary to the military regu
lations in England, and from time to
time general orders have b?sn issued
by the War Department in Ixmdon
expressing its disapproval of the clean
shaven face of its officers, as being
“unsoldierly" and demanding that they
should at once proceed to grow a mus
tache. These general orders have
been more honored in the breach tnan
in the observance, and at length mat
ters have reached such a pitch that
drastic measures are contemplated.
It is understood that King Edward,
as chief of the army, entertains very
strong views about the matter, and
that it is by no means improbable that
he may take advantage of some of the
levees next year at St. James’s Pal
ace either to bar clean shaven officers
of the army from his presence, or, If
he does receive them, to express his
disapproval of their disregard of his
wishes and'of the military regulations.
This question of hirsute adornment
is a matter which has always engaged
the attention of rulers and of their war
department. Queen Victoria attached
much importance thereto, as is shown
by her correspondence witli the late
Bight Hon. Hugh Childers, when he
was in office as Minister for War.
Only one regiment of cavalry in the
Austro-Hungarian army enjoys the
prerogative of dispensing with mus
taches, in memory of the magnificent
gallantry of the corps in a certain bat
tle of the Seven Years War, when,
owing to the terrible loss of life in
previous battles, it went into action
composed almost entirely of beardless
boys, the only thing available in the
way of recruits.
In those days mustaches were re
stricted almost exclusively to the cav
alry. The great Napoleon would not
permit any of his infantry regiments
to wear hair on their upper lips, ex
cept his veterans of the so-called Old
Guard, who were allowed mustaches as
a special privilege and as a reward
fo rtheir services. Hence their nick
name of “Les Moustaches Grises de
l’Empereur.” Nowadays mustaches
are required in all branches of the
army, and so particular are the rulers
of Germany and Austria about em
phasizing the military character of
this hirsute adornment that they have
in the past repeatedly taken means to
express their strong disapproval of
the wearing of mustaches by civilians
peremptory orders having been on sev
eral occasions sent to the actors at
state theatres, and even to certain
branches of the state administration,
exacting that all hair should he re
moved from the upper lip.—New York
Tribune.

Mr. Flitchtrs, looking up from his

“Did he have to invent one, papa,”

aren’t any more women like mamma?”

Suspected Safe Blowers Arrested.
Suspected of being professional safe

ing their names as J. P. Eaker, who

Dangerous Counterfeit Tens.
What is considered by bankers and
secret service operators to be the most
dangerous counterfeit bill since the
famous $100 note several years ago,
has turnod up in Atlanta and as a re
sult there is considerable activity
among officials of the government's
treasury department.
This dangerous counterfeit is a ton-
dollar bill of the series 1901, check
letter “A,” and is known as the “Buf
falo Bill.” So far five of them have
been discovered in Atlanta and se
cret service officials are of the opin
ion that a dungerous band of crooks
is operating in this section of the
country.

Will Open School January 8.
The trustees of the fourth district ag
ricultural Rnd mechanical school, at a
meeting in Carrollton, ordered that the
treasurer of the school collect all un
paid subscriptions and solicit further
contributions to pay the debts con
tracted in behalf' of the school. It
is ordered by the trustees that the con
tractors proceed to complete the build
ings without delay.
It satisfactorily appearing that the
people of Carroll county are determin
ed to comply with their contract to
complete the school building and, hav
ing confidence in their ability to com
ply with their obligation, it was or
dered by the trustees that the school
be opened on January C, 1908.

Problem for Comptroller.
Comptroller General William A.
Wright has a knotty problem to solve
in his capacity a sstate insurance com
missioner. Some time ago the Flor
ida Life Insurance company, chartered
linder the Florida laws, applied for
license to do business in Georgia. Be
fore the Georgia commissioner can
grant a license to an outside com
pany, such company must file a cer
tificate showing that it has $100,000
in money or negotiable bonds deposit
ed with the state treasurer.
The Florida law does not require
such deposits. When acquainted with
this fact, the Florida company desired
to make the necessary deposit in Geor
gia. As it is an entirely new point,
General Wright has asked the attor
ney general to render him an opinion
on the matter.

River Survey Completed.
After having been almost continu
ously engaged for nearly two years,
surveyors have completed the work
of making a survey of the great water
power of the Chattahoochee river be
tween Columbus and West Point. It
has been declared that this is the
largest waterpower in the country,
with the exception of Niagara and the
result of the surveys seems to bear
out these contentions.
In a distance of 35 miles tile river
falls 365 feet, affording a mighty en
ergy that is estimated to be considera
bly over 100,000 horsepower. Most of
this power is owned by the Columbus
Power company, a corporation backed
by $350,000 of New England capital,
and the surveyors who have just com
pleted their tedious task were in the
employ of this company.

Ba.d Vinegars Tabooed.
Vinegars made out of acids and
chemicals must vamoose from Geor
gia. Commissioner of Agriculture T.
G. Hudson has issued summons to 23
retail grocers of Atlanta, Macon, Sa
vannah and Brunswick, who are charg
ed with selling adulterated and mis
branded vinegars.
Samples were secured by State
Chemist McCandless, who made the
analysis. Not a trace of apple vine
gar was found in twenty-three of the
thirty-three samples tested.
In his report to the commission, Dr.
McCandless says that the vinegars re
ported contained acids injurious to
health. One apple grower has written
the department that these adultera
tions have practically driven apple
vinegar out of the market and have
done serious injury to the apple-rais
ing industry.

Georgia Property Tied Up.
Commissioner Hudson has returned
from Jamestown, where lie superin
tended the packing of the Georgia ex
hibit and tried to wind up the state’s
affairs there.
All of the state buildings are now
tied-up in a laborers’ lien on the whole
exposition property. The employes of
the exposition are trying to recover
wages due them. It is hardly proba
ble that the state buildings can be
held, as they belong to the states, and
the land upon which they rest is held
under a 90-dHy option from December
first.
But the whole mntter is in court now
and until an adjustment is reached
Georgia cannot sell its building, which
was modeled after Bulloch hall, the
home of President Roosevelt’s mother.

I* Up to Roosevelt.
A Washington dispatch says: The
threatened removal of Postmistresses
Mrs. Mary Melton at Conyers and Mrs.
Hattie F. Gilmer at Toccoa has had
a far-reaching effect. It has brought
about a change of program in the post-
office department.
The action of President Roosevelt in
sending for Postmaster General Meyer
following the visit of Colonel Living
ston to the white house Is taken tn
mean that the president will turn down
Mr. Hitchcock. The latter will prob
ably still make nominations and chang
es, but these will be scrutinized and
revised carefully by the postmaster
general before being passed on to the
president.
If any more postmasters or postmis
tresses are to be put out, and that Is
not improbable, the president proposes
to see that they are superseded by
Taft men and not Cortelyou workers.
That is the crux of the whole mat
ter. The fight for delegates to the
national convention is on in earnest
Mr. Hitchcock is one of Mr. Cortel-
you's most activo lieutenants, while
Mr. Meyer, the postmaster general, is
friendly to Mr. Taft.

Freedom Near for Counterfeiters.
With the release from the federal
prison at Atlanta on December 29 of
P. S. Coffee, formerly a farmer und
mill owner of Henry county, the sen
sational counterfeiting case which stir
red Atlanta in 1904 will be revived.
When Coffee receives his liberty,
there will be only one remaining in
the prison and he will be released
shortly after the first of the new year.
The last of the group, a citizen of
Atlanta, hi J. N. Little.
The others of the group received
shorter sentences and have been en
joying liberty for some time.
The case which sent four Atlanta
men to the prison and caused the ar
rest of two others occurred in 1904,,
and the plot to float $13,000 in “Buf
falo” bank notes was nipped by se
cret service officers.
It was charged by the government
that Coffee was the man who furnished
the money to have the counterfeit
plates made. Little was charged with
having been the go-between and the
man who secured an engraver to do
the crooked work.
Rebb were two pressmen who were
convicted by the government and sent
up. It was charged they printed the
queer and that Will Wynne made the
plates. Wynne confessed and w,as
used by the government as a witness.
He admitted helping to make the
plates, and implicated Charles Mans-
ton, another engraver, but no con
viction was secured in the ease of
Manston.
Coffee and Little were sentenced to
pay a fine of $1,<|00 each and to serve
four years. McMlchael and Rebb got
$500 each and two years. The case
against Wynne was quashed by th9
government.
WIDOWS AND CHILDREN
Made Destitute by Frightful Mine Hor
ror Will Be Aided.
The permanent relief committee,
headed by Governor Dawson, to pro
vide for the widows and orphans in
distress through the recent explosion
at the mines of the Fairmont Coal
company at Monongah, W. Va., has pre
pared an appeal for funds that is be
ing sent to chambers of commerce and
kindred organizations all over the
country.
All newspapers are urged to aid the
work by receiving contributions, ac
knowledging them through their col
umns and sending them to the treas
urer.
Contributions of clothing, toys for
the orphans at Christmas time and
similar donations are to be sent to
W. H. Moore, mayor of Monongah, and
chairman of the committee looking
after the temperoray wants of the vic
tims.
Monongah is a mining town of about
3,000 inhabitants. This disaster has de
stroyed almost one-half of the bread
winners. The other half is composed of
the employees of two other mines of
the same company, and of the usual
stores, etc., which go to make up a
purely mining community.
Fully 250 widows and 1,000 children
are left without any means of support.
The magnitude of this disaster is
too great for West Virginia to render
all the help required. It commands na
tional attention and the relief commit
tee feels sure that its appeal will bo
heard and responded to by the nation.
All checks should be made payable to
the Monongah Mines Relief Commis
sion, J. E. Sands, Treasurer, Fairmont,
W. Va.
A MILLION ALIENS
Swarmed to Our Shores Dur
ing Past Fiscal Year.
ALL RECORDS SMASHED
Total Influx Was 1,285,349 According
to Report of Commicsioner Sargent.
South !a Just Beginning to
Draw Well.
Immigration for the yenr ending
June 30, 1907, was vastly greater than
lu any previous year in the history ot
the United States. The fact, with all
its interesting and important details,
ir, placed in strong light in the an
nual rejiort of Frank P. Sargent, com
missioner general of immigration and
naturalization, which was made pub
lic at Washington Sunday. Of this
great flood ot' Immigrants, Commis
sioner Sargent says:
“An army of 1,285,349 souls, they
have come, drawn hither by the free
Institutions and the marvelous prosper
ity of our country—the chance here
afforded every honest toiler to gain
a livelihood by the sweat of his brow
or the exercise of his Intelligence-
surpassing in numbers the record of
all preceding years.”
The immigration for the year 1907
exceeded that for 1905 by 184,014, and
that for the year 1905 by 258,850, or
an increase of over the year 1900 of
more than 17 per cent, and over the
yenr 1905 of more than 25 per cent.
During the fiscal yea*/ 1906, 12,432
aliens were rejected at our ports; dur
ing the past fiscal year, 13,164, an
increase of 632; hence the total num
ber of those who have sought admis
sion in 1907, viz.: 1,293,413, exceeds
the number who applied in 1906, viz.:
1,113,167, by 185,246.
Commissioner Sargent says It is of
particular significance that matiy im
migrants landed at ports in the south
during the past year, and he refers
especially to a party of 473 Belgians—
excellent types of immigrants—receiv
ed at Charleston, S. C., having been
induced to go there by the state au
thorities. The increase of immigration
to the south, the commissioner says,
“is directly connected with the grow
ing desire of the southern states to
draw within their boundaries a num
ber of tiie better classes of immi
grants, it being considerrtl by practi
cally all of the leading men of that
section that the future development
and welfare of the south depend upon
its ability to receive and absorb a
reliable laboring and fanning ele
ment.”
Striking increases are also shown
at New Orleans, Galveston and Hono
lulu.
Interest nat urally attaches to tiie pro
portionately large immigration from
Jnpan. While the exclusion laws have
rendered practically nil the immigra
tion from Chinn, the immigration from
Japan, although relatively not groat,
has doubled in the past year. This
increase is significant, too, because it
comes in the face of regulations adopt
ed by the American government, with
the assent of Japan, which it was
supposed, would curtail the immigra
tion of Japanese to this country very
materially. The reports show that
thousands of Japanese landed in Mex
ico during the past year, and ultimate
ly gained admission, surreptitiously,
into this country. Once in the Uni
ted States it was impossible to locate
them, except in the rarest instances.
The total amount of money brought
into the country by arriving aliens was
$25,599,893, or an average of almost
$20 per person.
Of the 3,064 aliens who were turned
back during the year, 1,434 were con
tract laborers, 30 per cent less than
in the preceding year.
In a discussion of the new immigra
tion act, Commissioner Sargent very
strongly urges that advantage be taken
of a provision it contains for calling
an international confeicnce on immi
gration and emigration.

HORSE-LAUGH IS COMING
To Prohibition Statesmen in Con gre3s
Who Attempt to Foist Universal"
“Dry” Law.
A Washington special says: T;,^
prohibition question is a live wire with
statesmen from the south just now
peclnlly those who come from states
that have already, or are about to en
act statutory prohibition laws. So f u u
of current is the wire, that they are
sidestepping and tiptoeing, i n an ef
fort to placate their constituents and
at the same time maintain their refu
tations. It’s a job, too, is this at
tempt to escape the “laugh" list and
satisfy the folks at home who are y e ]j.
ing for prohibition.
Here is the hitch: There is in the
constitution of the United States a
paragraph which insures to each stute
the right to govern and regulate its
internal affairs—state’s rights—but the
prohibitionists at home, the wool hut
boys and the good women who mould
public sentimeftt, insist upon a w
tional prohibition law. The senator
or representative who introduces a bid
to “dry” up the United States will at
once go down as the biggest “laugh"
of the sixtieth congress, yet If he
fails and cannot explain, he may re
main at home.
Senators and representatives, es
pecially those coming from the dry
and partially dry states of the south,
are being pestered to their wits’ end
by enthusiastic temperance leaders
among their constituents who believe
a national prohibition bill not only
possible, but probable. Their daily mall
is full of letters and petitions urging j
them to propose statutory prohibition
for all of the United States, Porto
Rico, Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines
and Cuba, if necessary.
Thus far no such legislation has
been proposed, and no such bill is like-1
ly to fall in the hopper of either
house, bearing the authorship of »
southern statesman. And it Is hard
ly probable that the temperance lead
ers in other sections of the country
can induce any of their representa
tives to champion such a measure.
The reason should be obvious, espe
cially to southerners, but there arol
many representatives and senators in
Washington who are ready to swia'I
to the contrary. In their enthusiasm,I
some of tho temperance leaders out-l
side of congress seem to have forgot-l
ten about the civil war and the umlcr-l
lying causes for the bloody conflict!
—they have eradicated from their I
memories all thought of state's rights.!
"Talk about centralization," exclaim-!
ed a prominent senator from the sou:li|
In a discussion of national pro-1
hibition, “but tho temperance folks to-l

them, 1 will not vote to place th'I
power in the federal government. Whonl
we reach that stage, we might as well!
abandon our state governments.” I
The senator in question is a pr->|
hibitionist, and as he himself said.!
he is also a temperance man. H<i
has been greatly annoyed during the!
Inst two weeks or ten days by tbel
number of letters and petitions he hasl
received urging him to introduce a|
national prohibition bill in congress,!
but believing as he does, and his fa-1
ther before him did, in the sovereign!
right of each state to regulate its ln-j
ternal affairs he will not stultify him-l
selr by proposing such legislation.
And this particular senator is
alone. Dozens of others have b een |
besieged to present such a hill in con ‘l
gross, and every one who has been
approached gives practically the sam-
reasons for not doing it.
