TROUT OF THE MOUNTAIN sTREAh


Some sing of the bass with his glistening
mall,
Or the giant tarpon with silver scale,
But the anglers Joy and the artists dream
Is the spotted trout OF the mountain
stream.
With his mottled sides and his shapely
mold,
And his crimson stars with their fringe of
gold,
With his painted fins and his silvery CLEAN,
He has stolen the hues Of his mountain
stream.
With mouth wide spread and with glitter
ing eye
He springs from the depths at the dancing
.re fly,
And swift as the shaft from the bended bow
Shoots down to HE home In the waves
below. @
When soft from the South the breezes
When the waters are cleared Of the melting
When the earth awakes from the winters
dream,
/ seek for the trout in the mountain
stream.
When the apple blossoms are snowy white
And the swamps with the scarlet maple
When the silyery birch has donned its
sheen fHf
And the marshy meadows are fringed with
green;
When the 6obolink on the ''poke-stalk"
swings la..
And the hermit thrush In the woodland
sings, a4
Then III seek the trout in the mountain
home,
In the sparkling verge Of the cataract's
foam.
IT'S then in the waters widest play
That he lies in walt for his floating prey,
Or shoots like fish through the swiftest
stream
With an arrowy rush and meteor gleaml
When the skies grow warm and the sun
rides high,
BY the spreading alders he loves TO lie;
Or he seeks his lair meath some mossy stone
Which the frost from the hanging ledge has
thrown.
| Then, angler II you would his capture try,
| Choose your lightest line and your daintiest
fly;
Let your step be light and your cast be true,
| Or the trout will have nothingto say to you,
| II the bending rod and the ringing reel
Give proof that you've fastened the tenn
pered steel,
| Be sure that the battle is but begun,
And not till he's landed is victory won.
Then give me the trout and the mountain
stream,
With his crimson stars aud his golden
| CLEAN;
When he, like hero, gasping dies
The angler has won his fairest prize.

what Shall be Done ?



An extremely sad story comes from
Washington, where our friends, Frank Hat
ton and Colonel Beriah wilkins, the Con
gresham from Ohio, are engaged in the
laudable task OF publishing q daily paper.
II has long been customary for Washing
ton journalists TO have as little politics as
possible, so that no Member of Congress
could feel estrayed from schemes in which
the editor might feel an interest But,
when Hatton and Wilkins tried TO fuse, it
was most unfortunate case OF water and
oil. Hatton is Republican, while wilkins
is Democrat OF the thirty-third degree.
In order to adjust the politics OF the Post,
the two partners agreed, eacn day, TO ap-
peal 10 that venerable old umpire, the dice
box, and 1t should decide the politics OF the
paper day by day,
For eight days In succession the umpire
decided In favor Of Wilkins and more than
a week Of successive Democracy was so har-
rowing to Hatton's peace OF mind that he
allowed dreadful suspicion TO find lodg-
ment In his soul.
Following up several clews he at last
made the awful discovery that Wilkins had
been indulging IN loaded dice What ef-
feet this viii have on the politics OF the
paper can hardly be estimated. Hatton is
not sne sort OF man 70 prosecute his wicked
partner, when he was engaged IN the same
gambling operations, but Uncle wilkins
must be very abandoned Democrat II he
is willing to play with loaded dice, lie
should be handed over to the Dice-Refom
party at once and disciplined to the full ex-
tent 9f tbe law.

THE TOWNS pHorooRAPH.

The lady bicyclist has become such
n familiar figure on the asphalt streets
of Washington that she no longer cX-
cites comment. She is one of the
permanent features Of the National
Capital and forms one of the most
picturesque ornaments of the city
Sometimes, however, the awful, oyer
whelming thought springs up that she
may run into something, and the
picture of mass of whlrls which might
ensue is horrifying Yesterday after
noon a little lady was gracefully spin
ming down + street on fiery, untamcd
bicycle, which seemed TO obey her
wishes unexpressed She was just
about to turn corner when a child
passed in front of her She iingled the
bell and the child stopped short to see
what the ringing was about. a deft
tmn of the front wheel was made just
too late to avoid brushing against the
inquistivc youngster. The bicycle
carecned and the spectator, with
his heart in his mouth, forgot
the probable indelicacy of his
terrified stare. But the apprehension
was without grounds. A swift pressure
on the brake-a projection of the foot,
which left momentaiy CLEAN of black
hosiery in relief against the dull gray of
the pavementa light spring, and the
danger was past. The most admirable
feature of the incident was the rare
presence of mind and good taste of the
young lady. Instead of getting angry
or Fastening away in blushing con
fusion, she said, in the sweetest tones,
to the child, who was standing by
watching her with curiosity; "Did II
hurt your" 1t was simple stroke of
diplomacy, but 1t diverted attention
from her TO the child, and before any
one knew II she was speeding away as

THE cAL1FoRNIa PIONEERS.

Tomorrow, at Marshall Hall, will
occur the annual reunion of the Cali
fornia Pioneers of the National Cap
ital, the Argonauts who sought the
golden fleece, the Forty miners. This
is the ending of the fourth de-
cade since they dared and did so
much, and the reunion promises TO be
an enjoyable one. The reunions of the
California Pioneers, in fact, always are
enjoyable Never sailed forth more
perfect optimists than those who crossed
rhc plains or rounded the Horn to reach
the Pacific Coast so long ago, and they
are optimists still, every man of them.
They look at the bright side Of things
and dream of empire.
They did make an Empire, these
California pioneers, one of the richest
on the globe, and they changed the tide
and character of the commerce of the
world The gold they sought and
found was but the smaller part of the
wealth they developed, and the new
States and Territories we boast on the
great Western slope are the sequel to
their enterprise. Some Of them re-
NAMED upon the conquered territory.
They are the leading men of the West
to.day-Governors, Senators, men of
affairs
II Is a romance now, the story of the
Forty miners. California in 1S40 was a
terra incognita in many respects, a
country hard to reach and strange Of
climate and productions. What adyen-
lures there were upon the plains and in
perilous sea voyages, and later, what a
life il was for the gold seekersl They
made land of their own, and became
people by themselves, not strangers
but absentees. Some of them had never
seen railroad until they returned upon
visit to the Estates. They gave a new
style, new swing" to the communi.
ties they built up, breeziness which
appertains to the Pacific Coast people
still. They found room for the exhibi
ZION Of the American spirit, unfettered
by traditions, and the subsequent devel
opment was as striking as il was salts
factory,
II is wonderful thing that the Cali
fornia pioneers are what they are TO-
day, hale, hearty, enthusiastic, and il
in such numbers. The hard life they
led did not break them down; 1t only
foughened them. Those of them who
returned to the East outranked their fel
lows in vigor. Forty years is lonl
time, but the Pioneers are not so sure o
that They may have found on thu
Pacific slope what Ponce de LeoI
missed on the Atlantic coast, the Foun
tain Of Eternal Youth, and have beer
slyly keeping still about It ever since
Even al these annual reunions they shoy
their oriental guests how to eat, drnl
and be merry, and yet have no indiges
tion the succeeding night, nor require
change of hat the succeeding morning
They were the flower Of the young me-
of the country when they dared til
trip so long ago, and they are the tlowe
Of their class still The country owe
them a great deal, and 1t Is good tina
they can laugh at Time.
