ESSAY ON BULLHEADS.
Description of n Sport That Has Peculiar
Charms for Lazy Men.

Description of n Sport That Has Peculiar
| Charms for Lazy Men.
| Bullheads are born, not made. No
manufacturer would ever place on the
market such ridiculous combination
of big and little tip, three horns and
no middle. They deserve no favor at
the hands OF credulous public. They
have no responsibility. They are in
tolerably indolent. They won't work
for living. They just shove them
selves under the eel grass, cape their
mouths and wait and loaf. If snail
crawls in, that is his i'll fortune. The
bullhead doesn't care much, anyhow.
1t takes laziness to catch bullheads.
Patience won't do it. The successful
bullheader is slower than DOCTORS
bill, and as undesirable. He is either
too lean to stand up, or too fat to walk.
His stomach hollows so far in toward
his spine that he can't tell the differ
ence between hunger and the back
ache. He INDUCES in plug tobacco.
He will sit all day on the tip OF a
utNuNCu hClllOCh hllOb anu llSil. I1b
waits Happiness spreads a dreamy
mantle over him.
A bullhead bite is not an impressive
event. 1t is not an emotional affair. 1t
feels like thump on the back. 1t is
something like one jump out OF dull
toothache. 1t is not so expressive,
however. Sometimes they don't bite
at all. They let the bait drop into
their mouth, if it chooses. Mouth
closes. Bullhead rubs his stomach
on the mud and waits. Fisherman
waits, the bullhead waits longer. Fish
erlnan waits for the dob" TO go under.
Bullhead waits for fisherman TO come
down and get him. Fisherman waits
for bullhead to come up and see what
has become of him. Finally he pulls
up his line to look at his worm. Line
sticks at the end. Bullhead is in no
hurry. Neither is the fisherman. More
pull. Still sticks. Lug, pull, slow,
lazy, always lazy; lazy at both ends.
1.-THE thing comes up like dragging
the heel out OF the mud; suck-gurgle |
-swash. There he has it. One little |
bullhead with diminutive bull tail.
1t is great sport. 1t is so uniform. 1t |
doesn't excite the feelings. One al
ways knows what to expect-a bull
head sometime or other.
Six bullheads are good days work
for n practical fisherman. More than
that spoils the rhythm. Theoretical
fellows have alleged that they have
taken more than that. They have
described their game as "old lunkers."
They are ambitious creatures, in the
of life. They carried their
bait in their hip-pocket, corked. They
are not credible witnesses. They ex-
aggerate.
Now, skin the catch. Straddle o
plank by lantern light. Skin, smoke.
cuff "skeeters," smell fishy. Six
of bullhead yield two and one
third inches OF skinned bull tail.
Fried and served up hot they taste
like swamp malaria burnt into decayed
chip. Peck.

An Aeronaut's Sudden Landing In n Field

One OF the most ludicrous advent

loon across the patch | gathered up

among the big yellow spheres with the
idea OF saving all my ballast, most of
my gas, capturing load OF pumpkins
and was reaching for more, when over
the fence, coming towards me,
saw an ugly little nubbin Of
bow-legged bulldog. held in
check by a strap which dragged along

little nubbin OF a man, but the wind
caught it and carried it away. The man
went after 1t, and in his hurry lot go his
hold on the dog. Then the dog went
for me. BY casting out some of my
ballast managed to rise clear of the
brute and sail slowly away. reached
the adjoining clearing all right and
was just going to finish the trip by dis
charging gas when my canine friend,
who had quietly sneaked through the
woods, now suddenly jumped upon me
and with his teeth worked an ''inser-
ton" in the hem OF my short dress
skirt, which he reached through
the meshes of my hammock-net-
ting basket, surrounding me about
knee-high. instantly broke a pump
kin over his head, and | almost
got away, but, with the proverbial te-
nacity OF the bulldog he hung on and |
for one second didn't know what to |
do next. really could not shoot the.

dress. 1t was the only one had with
me, and then it was so pretty, and that
beastly dog had his ugly teeth in one

with which it was trimmed. Il
While this all ran through my mind
in that one second, plucSed another

INDIAN TROUBLE FEARED.
Troops Held in Readiness to March to the
Scene of Disturbance at Moments
Notice.

MIssoULA, MONT, Feb. 22.--The ex-
element over the threatened outbreak of
the redskins on the border is growing
hourly more intense Dispatches have
been passing between Gen. Ruger at St.
Paul and the officers of Fort Assinaboine
and other posts in this nelghborhood and
it is understood troops have been ordered
to be ready to move at moments notice
John s Roberts, nephew OF the late ] .
T. Clifford killed at Flathead lake by the
Indians, is here, and says of the fight:
1.-The savages laid in wait for him and
shot him. They feared him too much to
do it openly The Indians who did the
deed are Kootenais and not FIatheads as
stated. The Fiatheads are all friends of
the whites and their boast is that they
never killed a white man.
The place where this all took place is
known as the upper Fiathead country and
is composed of the small settlements Of
Selfish, Egan, Dewersyille and Ashley
Thirty miles beyond Ashley is a place
known as Tobacco Plains where Indians
live, and that is some forty miles from
the Canadian line. There are about
fifteen white families ia ali and 200
Kootenais Indians. The Indians are all
armed with Martin and Henry rifles, and
if any outbreak should occur, the whites
are utterly defenseless. They are 120
miles from the Northern Pacific railroad
at Rayalli. At this time there is an
abundance of snow and travel to the rail-
road would be almost impossible
They would be butchered before
going a third of the way; in
summer they could take steamer on the
lake and thus escape. The men are pre-
pared in way to resist an attack if
they can get their wives and children out
of harm 5 way The Indians get their
ammunition from the Canadians, and
