Soon the reel sang out again until but a
f-w feet of line remained, and l began
snubbing him. On feeling this resistance
he made one grand effort for liberty. He
shot into the air and shook the line as q ter
rier does a rat. After the splash / still telt

BY keeping taut line l brought him along
side of the boat just as his open jaws APP
peared above the surface of the water. Ex-
cept for the barely perceptible motion Of his
tail, he was motiOnless Having no landing
net, | undertook to lift him into the boat
with the line. l had raised him half out of
the water. when his grip on the minnow re-
Taxed, and hook minnOw aud all came up
from the depths of his bosom, leaving the
trout free. l dropped the line with batf1ed
groan. But mark you what followed. While
yet the trout and mutilated minnow were at
the surface this fresh-water shark used the
last bit of his remaining strength to open
his jaws and shut them once more on the
juicy mOrsel which had just escaped him.
This time there was no fight, and rs the
hook had luckily attached itself to his jaw,
| easily raised him into the BOAT. He tipped
the scales at exactly three pounds ten
ounces.
The only possible explanation can give
for the remarkable boldness Of this trout Is

WELCOME TO SPRING.

Welcome, dear, delightful spring,
With all the pleasures thou dost bring:
Balmy breezes, sunny skies,
Happy birds and butterniesl
Sunbeams DER the brooks are dancing,
And how tender and enhancing
Are the melodies that float
From each wiuge songster's throat,
Filling ali the air around
With volume Of sweet sound.
Traces in each verdant field
or thy footsteps are revealed
Buds aud blossoms from thy hand
Are scattered over all the land;
Dainty ferns, sweet-scented flowers,
To perfume all thy leafy bowers.
Welcome to thee, once again
To thee and all thy joyous train!
For all the pleasures thou dost bring,
o thou dear, delightful spring!

The Barber Was Ready.

An old veteran told this as happening at
Savannah during the war:
A young Confederate officer, who was
pretty much of bully, stopped in at ton
Serial saloon. Drawing his sword he or
dered the barber to shave him, at the same
time warning him that If he cut
his face OF drew drop of blood he
tion was performed without accident Be-
fore he went out, however, the bully asked
the artist if he was not very much fright
ened while he was doing tue work.
The barber smiled,
Not in the slightest" he replied, "for If |
had accidentally drawn a drop OF blood
would have cut your throat from ear TO ear
before you could have moved "-Atlanta

Mabelle is not an angel, no!
Although SO handsome, coy and fair,
But never angel high or low
In heaven or hades earth or air,
Or those with Lucifer who fell,
Was half SO sweet as charming Belle.
An angel, no. on aerial wings
She fiutters not In earth or skies:
Though sweetest of all living things
With ripe red lips and witching eyes.
With august form and face divine,
She has no heart-her heart Is mine.

THE SCHOOLS.

The time Of the year has come
around again when schools open,
and when the bows and girls give
benediction to the streets as they
go to and come from school swing
ing their satchels, and filing the
streets with voices merrier than
the lark. A great thing is the
modern school, but the greater
thing still is the boy behind the
satchel. He is full of baseball
and marbles, be is given to robbing
birds nests, climbing trees, tearing
his clothes. having his nose bar
ked, and having infinite trouble
making clear explanations to his
mother why he is what he is. But
they are great chaps after all, and
q person wants to live in acountry
where they do not exist to under
stand what a blank and fool oil
world this would be without chill
dren,
The school is an institution
which, as rule, first puts its gen.
tie check on the bits of the boys
enthusiasm, and turns it in an
other channel which leads it up
to make what was the crown and
glory OF the boy, the crown and
glory of the man. The ancient
world did many splendid things:
its manhood developed in many
exalted forms, All the nights and
aud depths Of oratory were,explored
and its full power brought out; in
many of the arts there was grace
attained which modern men dare
not hope to emulate. Poetry had
it's birth and grew to full perfec-
tion; there were soldiers as great
as the modem world can boast,
but there was nothing like our
mission schools, and in no other
way is the superior grace Of
modern civilization any better
illustrated than in that one thing
our schools compared with the
ancient schools.-Salt Lake Tri.

Arthur McEwen has a b,

Arthur McEwen has bright
little story in the Argonaut OF
September 7th. It is called IAN
Abalone's Secret" and sets forth
a curious double romance-the
lore affairs Of Miss Pachita de Sola
a modern San Francisco belle des
cended from one Of the Spanish
families which ruled the Preside
Of San Francisco before the
American occupation OF Callfor-
mia, and OF her grandmother,
Senorita Pachita de Sofa, nearly
three-quarters Of century before.
This latter romance is curious
leaf in the history OF San Francis
CO, settling forth the adventures Of
a young couple who are shipwreck-
cd on the voyage from the Preside
to Sausalito-now ferry-trip of
half an hours duration drift
out to sea, only being restored to
their friends after several days at
the mercy of the wind aud waves.

Breaking the Law.

EDITOR APPEAL:-The Constitu-
ton of this state prohibits lot
teIies. Do the authorities know
that such n law is in existence :?
Does the District Attorney Of this
county know there are four Chi
nese lottery companies III Carson
City, each company holding two
drawings daily? The District
Attorney was one CT the most
active opponents several years
ago to the proposition to repeal
the clause in the Constitution OF
the State prohibiting lotteries. 1t
is very strange that the Chinese
are allowed to conduct lotteries
and the whites not. 1t cannot be
possible that influence, politics or
money are the factors that keep
the four Chinese lottery COM
panies in existence contrary to
law. 1t certainly would not be
safe for a Few white men to at
tempt TO conduct a lottery in this
city. They would be arrested and
in Jail in q very short time. The
Chinese break the law and no
attempt is made so convict them.
