I &rs heard of cukuitiuie of these
runs of sjslmua while our vael lay at
mochor tn Iovi Clarnoe. a fine natural
tuirtcr on the erautt of Alaska, leaa
haa ctm hnaadml miles blaw Behri&j
traita. It was the first week la Jaly and only
sv traj finny forerunner was now and
Ibrii catuht by the natl-res. These fish

rhite Dot they were fish, and largw
ones, tx In the aiht of one who had
only tiahed in New England streams, so
1 wm uriaed with a desire to go rflsh-
I was preparing for the trip in the old
retralation style and with the usoal
oatflt, when the captain of oar vessel
sueted that I wait a few days until
the run cf fish had fairly beyun. Then
wo would take oar native Interpreter,
Untfurula, and hare a genuine Eskimo
fUhiOkf party. This was a much more
satis factory arraagenu-nt than anything
that I could plan, for I knew nothing
gvtcut the country c the habit of the
fLh. and I had never been salmon
shlf, so I gladly dropped all my own
plans for this new one.
Each day the weather gTew warmer,
ml with the inorev-ir-g- warmth came
moro and larger and higher colored sal
mon until about the 15th, when it
seemed as thtm?h the flood gates of
Xkumberless fish ponds had been opened
svod the fifth turned loos by millions,
"This looks as though we might
have some lucJc," sJd the captain, as
we watched the myriads of fish passing
cur vessel. 4Oues we will have to go
Ushing to-morrow, announced the cap
tain. We told Cngurula of our plan and
asked him to get everything ready to
catch the fish, while the steward was
directed to make ready the most neces
sary part of the baggage the lunch

jtrepare the "tackle," which was the
inrt simple and peculiar outfit for a
-fishiog trip I ever saw. The captain
told rce he would let his gukledo all
the JVhlng. As there was little prepa
ration neeewary on my part, I had
r lrnty of time to watch Ungurula.
He first got a board rme five or six
trt long and brut r?:rht inches wide,

"All riht," aaid Cts-arul, me

1 akod no qaUon, but waited far
time to explain the mystery cf thiols.
This the frcAon of the midnight
sua, and with coaiiaiioua daylight we
tould roake our btart tt auy time. The
change of the early morning watch w&a
the most convenient time, aud at four
o'clock the t. tar board quarter boat was
lower! away, and with four strong
men at the oars our whale boat was soon
gliding swiftly toward the head of the
pert with the long, bteady pull of sail
ors on a whaling TeieL U was several
inilea up, but under the steady stroke of
the oars we were soon on the river and
ascended it two or three miles.
Ungurula wa in charge of the expe
dition, and at his word we landed at a
fork iu the river and hauled the boat
well up on the beach. We then walked
about one hundred feet up the smaller
stream to a spot where the water was
quite hi!low.
Such a sight as we saw there is be
yond description. We had seen what
seemed like millions of fish as we came
up the river. But here tha water was
fairly alive with them. It seemed as
though the fiih would fairly push each
other out of the water in thir strug
gles to go up stream. Literally, the
water was a struggling ma&s of salmon
of all siaes.
There was nothing poetia or effusive
about Ucgurula. The sight was an old
story to him and he was too intensely
practical to have anything in mind be
yond the capture of thirty good, fat,
king salmon for the "cap'n. lie took
off hi boots, stocking and trousers.
then with the mysterious board in hand
began the fishing. It was very evident
we were to have a degree of fishermen's
luck that would make any fisherman's
heart burst with gladness. Bat the
question in mind was: How is it to be
done?
Ungurula soon explained it. Walk
ing out into the stream to a depth of
about three feet he raised the board
high in the air the surface with the
bristling array of spike points down
then, with a quick, muscular swing,
slapped it on the water with all the
strength his two arms could command.
The Instant it struck tha water he
jerked it with a downward movement
in toward the shore, and as he drew it
out of the water upon the sand, he
brought with it four big king salmon
that had been securely spiked.
The mystery of the tackle was ex
plained. With such a living stream of fish H
was a question of only a few minutes to
catch our requisite supply of thirty
fish. The water was icy cold, but the
guide was toughened to this manner of
fishing, and after the last catch of fish
was secured restored the circulation of
blood in his legs by vigorous rubbing
and was apparently none the worse for
his bath.
This was the most successful fishing
trip and the most norel way of catch
ing 6" that I had ever known. We
might have kept up the work for hours
and made no apparent diminution in
the number of fish. But we hod all we
could well use, so returned with our
ratch to the boat, shored off and
reached our ship under the glow of the
midnight sun. Just as eight bells
sounded.
Unlike the carry run of fish these
king salmon were large, ranging from
eight to sixteen pounds. Their flesh
was a deep salmon color and when
cooked they were as tender and rich as
ismh'i v butter.
Tae Sear Otrla.
Once upon a time there was a little
girl, and Bhe had a little curl which
wasn't right in the middle of her fore
head. It was back of one of her ears,
and one day after she had burned it
nearly off about seventeen times she
thought of a great scheme.
That very same evening a man yes,
there was a man in the case noticed
that dear little curl, and immediately
burst forth into a spasm of admiration
for it,
"A perfect ringlet he went on. "Ah,
how pretty it is! The little dainty curl!1
Then, as he twined it lovingly about
his finger, the pretty little curl unfas
tened itself and lay calmly in his hand.
It was really quite embarrassing all
around.
The dear child had burned off the orig
inal curl, so t he pinned on one of her
mammas for a substitute. It was but
natural, I suppose, for that man to pick
out the only curl that did not belong
thf re. One can never give a reason for
such things.
Never, never do as that girl did, for
whin a man gets so that he admires your
curls you may convince yourself then
and there that he is in esrnoet. It is
really a pity to have pretty sctnesbrokeu
np just because of a horrid little fale
curl, and so it may be the wiwr plan to
go right on curling and burning. Then
youll know that the curls are your rery
own, even if they do have a peculiar
burnt odor. Chicago News-Itecord.

Yeaterday was a cold day. Just the
k:nd of a day when the hunter loves to
go to the covers of the woods sod along
the winding streams in search of game.
It was a day such as reminds one f
the feathered delicacies which nature
has provided for his delectation, and
he longs to seesthem steaming before
him on the dining table. Not all of us,
however, can spare the tima to hunt.
Many who have the time have not the
necessary outfit. Happily for all of ua
Dettenthaler provides all that any one
of us could secure by a prolonged
chase. His assortment of game is com
