why Salmon Takes Flies.


Discussions are going on all the time in
regard TO the reasons for the salmon taxi
ing the fly. All the books printed for sew
eral centuries almost universally assert
they take it in sport, play with it. 1t is
astonishing how little is known OF the
habits OF fish seen daily by thousands
during the weeks and months it is running
up the fresh-water rivers. If any one will
sit on a rock and cast fly, and bring a
salmon to his feet, he will see that he takes
it in anger, that bis eye will be like coal
of fire, and tiger ready 10 strike his prey
will not indicate more fury. His appear
ance is precisely that of a rattlesnake IN
The act of defending himself. His gills and
ewes alike burning red. / have often
brought one to my feet, so that my Indian
could gaff him, before he struck the hy,
and have seen this exhibition OF anger again
and again. and so intense that he never
noticed me or my rod till the fly pricked
him. The knowledge of this fact VIII ac-
count for many peculiarities about hy-hsh-
ing. ANY one not skillful enough TO en-
tice n fish to his feet can easily verify TINS
by watching a salmon while his compan-
ions cast a fly at him, and see the indiner,
ence he NAV show 10 II Tor time, ana
finally be provoked in making rush at II
in a state Of absolute frenzy. This Is why

Eastern Colorado Crops Also FaiI-walls
Walia's Wheat Yield Fifty Bush
els to the Acre.

DENVER, Aug. 21.-The effect of the
summers drought in Eastern Colorado
and Western Kansas begin to look gloomy.
1ne cool weather of the past few days
causes settlers in the dry districts to won
der where their supplies are to come from,
as great many of them have only their
Claims, and not all of these proven up, so
that they have nothing to sell and nothing
TO borrow upon. A committee reached
Denver today from the eastern part of
Arapahoe county, sent by settlers of that
district In quest of aid, which no doubt
will be generously furnished them, as Col
orado as whole has been blessed with
unusually good crops, so that this state
will be amply provided to take care of
those who have not been so lucky in the
eastern portion.
But Western Kansas. which comprises
much larger area, and where not even
vegetables have grown the past year, will
no doubt have to call upon the East for
assistance before the winter blasts are over.
Already hundreds of families have
gone to Colorado from West
ern Kansas, where they report
that the corn, wheat and oats that were
planted in some districts have been lost.
There was not enough moisture in the
ground to sprout it until the fall rains set
In week or two ago.
At Colorado Springs quite a number of
families are living in tents. All seem to be
thriving and in good health, having Sc
cured work since their arrival

HffSfascx~~,

AsOefat Pastor Was Treated at
Rockland, n. Y.
Midcletown. ". Y, Special.
Inc story of a pastor deposed and a
cnurcn disrupted by a quarrel over tae
national game of baseball, comes from the
town of RockIsnd, in Sullivan county. The
hockiand Methodist Episcopal church be-
longs to the Newberg district of the New
YORK conference. In April last the Rev.
Frank Forsythe, then recently ordained to
the ministry, was assigned TO the Rockland
cnarge. He is young preacher of pleas
ing manners and of fine gifts as speaker.
AT first he was universally liked, but after
time some of the more strait-laced and
exacting members of the flock began to
md fault with his free and easy deport-
ment toward sinners, and his indulgence in
unbecoming worldly pleasures. 1t was
charged among other things that he
smoked cigars and played croouet. and
Joked and laughed with chance acouaint-
ances. These things sufficiently shocked
his parishioners. but what was their horror
when they found that he engaged in base
town.
the elders of the church took the matter
IN hand and called the pastor to account.
de rebeiled at their dictation and the con.
ference aggravated, rather than healed. the
discord. Soon afterward came the crisis.
Pastor Forsythe announced from The put
pit that picnic was to be held to raise
money for the church, and that among the
attractions would be match game of bali.
The announcement Mortified the brethren
and the trustees of the church resolved to
depose the offending pastor summary and
without the customary appeal to the
bishop. On the following SUNDAY thew
locked the pastor out of the church and
gave notice that he would no longer be per-
mitted to conduct services there. The pas
tor responded by promptly sending in bis
resignation.
A large minority Of the more LIBERAL
minded members of the congregation. who
sympathized with the views of the pastor.
at once seeded and started Free Meth
odist church, with the Rev. Mr.. Forsythe
as shepherd. They have hired the Roscoe
school-house as temporary place of wor-
ship, and there Mr.. Forsythe preached elo-
quently last SUNDAY to large and sympa-
tnetic audience. His followers are going
to build larger and handsomer church
edifice than the old one at Rockland. The
basement will be fitted up as gymnasium.
