OLD-TIME SUCKER FISHING.
A Cath of Fearless NssMn/ be One
Boy in Oss Night.
• A reference to the Benmiller correspon-
dence recently to sucker fishing at the
Marland Falls moves me to write of fish-
ing as it ops in earlier days.
I remember as a lad standing in my
plaos.an a ring of a hundred or two ranged
around a heap dt suckers on the green
bank above the falls. after a catch. The
fish were divided up share and share alike.
1 went home with a dosen.
From far and near men and bons used
to come Inc fish afte. their day's work,
for the beg catches were made at night.
An exciting episode of w htch the old -1
timers tell was the big tight at the falls
between the lumbermen who were rafting
timber down the river and the Tipperary
green from Goderich township. The tuna -
of the men who had come to fish. but the
tette: got their Irish up and gathering m
force one night cleaned out their tormen-
tora. Few of the veterans on either side
of that great,battk are now left.
As to the 66shingnets or spears were
not needed. The fish were hand-picked.
There were experts in those days. Ned
Slattery. Bill %anstone and his brother
Sam. C,-ha:lir Walters, Jesse Gledhill,
John Oke, John McGibbon, the M !ler
boys, Rod. Adams and others whom 1
might came were famed for their skill in
picking them out.
For the benefit of those who never had
the privilege of living within sound of the
falls in the olden time. it may be said
that the fish on their way up the s' ream
to their spawning grounds made the leap
over the falls and then struggled up the
flat rock slide through the swift shallow
water near the share, gathering in hun-
dreds in' the stiller water near the edge to
rest before continuing their voyage up
stream. Here they were captured. To
explain how. let me tell my fish story—a
story that some unbelieving present -day's is treat with a contempt which it
does not deserve.
Briefly. 1 caught fourteen hundred in
one night. I have sometimes said thirteen
hundred. to make it easier of belief. but
I am writing for the press now and 1'11
tell the whale truth. Thr season was
well on, and for some reason there was no
crowd that night and no expert catcher.
A party had come from Clinton with a
team and wagon. but how to get t fish
they did not know. Another and 1
had gone down for a night's sport. Could
we catch.' To be sure we could. My
mate undertook to manage the tight, so
he went ahead wits a big torch along the
edge of the water. A proud young fisher-
man waded cautiously along behind tbe
light where the fish were nestling with
their backs shining almost above the
water as they crowded each other for
room. A gentle movement of the hand
from the rear up among them as if it
were another fish crowding in: then grip
your victim behind the gold and pull
him back and drop into the bag held near
by to receive him. Don't hurry. but get
them all! It was great sport! The first
run gave us a pile of five hundred on the
grassy bank above. We then sat by the
campfire till another shoal accumulated
and repeated the operation. After the
third catch it was getting daylight and
e the strangers left for Clinton by the roa -
)' way with their wagonload of fish. We
- made a short cut home through the
n woods, tired and happy, but with no fish.
We already had a surfeit at home.
The addition of an extra foot or so to
the dam below the falls at Piper's Mills a
few years after stopped the upward voy-
age of the fish.Protests were entered
and the obstruction was removed. but
not until the fish had found other haunts.

It developd in discussion of the esti-

Rowell has two private secretaries. one of
whom is paid 13,400. The salary of the
other was not stated in the newspa;er re-
ports. Their pay comes out of the public
treasury. The Opposition had the idea that
the chief business of the private secretary
was to conduct a bureau for the advertis-

ular with said Opposition.

Ten Billion Photos Reveal Mae Marsh
Mae Marsh- the movie star, has the
hugest collection of photographs ever rs.
sembled in the world s history.
She is the joy and delight of the camera
and the lens people.
Every night of their lives when Mr.
Eastman and the other genuises of photo-
graphy kick off their bedroom slippers,
slip into their pajamas and get down be-
side the bed oto say their prayers they
take great pains to add a little prayer for
Mae Marsh.
Over the Christmas and New Year's
holidays a mathematician n tth a tot of
time on his hands figured uo the footage
of all the pictures in which Mae Marsh
has ever appeared. obtained data about
the n mber of prints of each picture that
was marketed and, lo and behold. his bury
pencil showed that ten billion is an accur-
ate record of the times she has been pho-
tographed
ho-
t phed on the tem.
Do you wonder that the gods of tte
cinema, the men who make the film. look
upon Mae Marsh as being almost as
valuable to them as the formula from
which they make the film itself ?
