Thousands of little flah coming on I the sands at Serra, three miles below qu San Juan Capistrano, furnished a , bu most unusual sight and gave an op- sit portunity for the capture by hand of inj many hundreds of fish. Three moonlight nights of each of ; th< three spring months the fish, which bl< resembles the smdlt, goes on the | be sands to spawn. The larger waves i rei carry the ttsh up and leave them llop- rei ping on the sand, flashing In the moon- ha light. The beach for nearly half a ha mile on both sides of the San Juan tin creek was literally covered with the wa little fish one night recently. The run ph commenced soon after midnight. it.' The coming of the fish Is a great th< occasion In the San Juan Caplstrano thi Mission valley. People gathered or from far and near, and nearly every UB one returned with half a flour sack filled with the beauties. Eight to th ten automobile loads of Santa Anans were on hand.

He did not n< get on, and was very much depressed. One day the clerk said to him: "If j*' you please, sir, the prayers of the *' church are, desired for Lucy Gray." r "Very well," said the curate, and at w every service In which the prayer for all sorts and conditions of mei wua f*1 offered, the church was asked to pray H for Lucy Gray, till one morning yt*he ',l f-torlr nioho/l V. ~ ? . ?uv.u wivu liiu tcBir/ jtfiu saiq; ' "You ceedn't pray for 1-ucy Graf any" more; she's won the steeplechase/' "Have^J been praying for a horse?" tr asked the curate. "I shall leavo the r" place." But the clerk said: "You'll do nowt 1* of the sort, sir; I thought little of ye 'X when ye came, but now ye've got the hearts of them all, and ye can do w what ye like In the parish since ye D* took to having prayed for that horse." ^ Ships That Never Came In. "The ship that never returned" Is always one of the tragedies of life, and the board of trade Inquiry as to the vanished steamer Jura stirs memo- ^ rlea. There was, for Instance, Ihe v case of the White Star liner Naronlc, w which, when It was launched, was uuncnuea ah me nnest and Barest Bhlp yer built. It left Liverpool for New ei York February 11, 18U3, and was never Been again. Hut six weeks afterward a champagne bottle was found on the beach *( at i>oean View, Va., containing a letter f written by John Olsen. a cattleman on board, it ran: "The ship la fast (<j sinking It 1h such a storm that we ' cannot live In the small boats.

I e La ISTAKES MADE BY AUTHORS squotations by Popular Writers Have Been Many, and In Some Cases They Have Stuck. Borne of the most frequently used u unions are not quotations at all. t In many cases convey tno oppo- g e meaning of the original wordl Fenimore Cooper, for Instance, L>uught he was quoting from the UK 3 when he spoke of an inscription lng devised that "he who runs may ad," signifying that It was easily ad by a man In haste. If Cooper d looked in his IHble he would ve found in the book of Habakkuk at the passage he tried to quote ^ is: "Write the vision and make It aJu that he may run that readeth The vision was a warning and e> reader was to flee from danger, but ? e Cooper version has survived the jf lglnal and practically put It out of e. A popular chronic misquotation Is k at of the passage in "Iludibras," lich says: "He that compiles alnst his will is of the same opin:i still." Authors and public Bpeaks without number have twisted at into "A man convinced against s will is of the same opinion still," rgettlng that a man who was con need could not possibly remain of s previous opinion, for If he was the same opinion he would not be nvlnced. Theodore Roosevelt publicly deired thjft Washington In his fare*11 address said: "To be prepared r war Is the most effective means promote peace." Rut the first esldent said nothing of the sort In pur s farewell address. In his first mes- noxv ge to congress he said: "To bo pre- ,\ori Lred for war Is one of the most efctlve means of preserving peace," id he spoke of other means as all. Atlai ^ovellBtB do not seem to be very It rong Jn their knowledge of the ?tudi irlptures somehow, and Sir Walter "" :ott In "The Heart of Midlothian" tempts to point a moral with the |Mlsj| ards: "Our simple and unpretend- |OSH g heroine had the spirit of those belie ;acemakers to whom it Is promised from a benediction that they shall in- heav trlt the earth." The fact is that ,,<l1 e peacemakers did not receive any 11 ich promise, but it is said that "the " eek shall inherit the earth."
