jus,ing nickle-p'ated liars on the
fish question. The writer only
caught six trout in ten days,
and this is pi ing it Cd thicker than
the real facts warrant Oar con-
science shrinks from living "bont

run between Twin and Silver lakes.
You can fish all day and yank fish

right vest pocket for a basket. All
these diminutive trout are fit for is
to bait hooks with when you fish
the roaring Carson river.
CAMPING.
A man who has ever slept on a
wood pile knows what q pine
bough bed is in advance. You
strain your coffee through . gunny
sack and with = trackless forrest oil
around, you have to forage two
hours every morning for wood.
The only way to get wood is to
climb tree and pick it inst As you
would apples or pears. The stoves
are built out of rocks aud the
draught of these stoves is always
from back to front. Move q tent
nine times an hour aud the smoke
sti files from the fire into the
front Of the tent. This 10 what

dams come round the camp, beg
canned fruit, squat themselves in |
your tent and otherwise make
themselves socisble, under the pc

they dote IN is one who will take
$50 pounds of their miscellaneous
freight down to Woedford's for
and pay two prices for
.oodchuck skins. Some times
hey sell woodchuck skins for fox
'kins to the unsuspecting tourist,

history they only succeed in max

That is a. far a. they were aklo to

JUDGE CAkY's JOKE.
A few weeks ago Justice Cary Of
his city was up st Kirkwood's and
he campers were all gathered
b ut bis tent. attracted bv bis in
licial mein and quiet, reserved
manner. All the boys and girls in

Judge, what is the greatest freak
t Nature you over heard Of 2"
when Msry had q little lamb
'as the calculating reply, and the
an Francisco dude sark back into
is tall coat collar.
INSCLTED BEOADCLoTH.
One day at the same resort for
