Artificial Matching or Trout at swan Lake

to catch trout for artificial Matching The trout are
now seeking the spawning beds ana can tie taken
with little difficulty. Mr.. White had q long seine,
and throwing 1t twice on one spawning bed cap
tured 3 fish. Friday another cast was made and
p lsh We're taken, The net was thrown outside
the bed and dragged toward the shore. The fish
sought the bag of the seine, and when near enough
men with long legged boots waded in and with din
nets took out the fish. Cars were provided and the
fish were separated, the males being placed in one
car and the females in another, The fish viii be
kept IN the cars until the spawns are ripe. when
they viii he taken to the hatchery and the spawns
removed.
The trout are very large many of them weighing
seven pounds each. Mr.. White says he has had
much experience, and has seen many trout, but
the swan Lake fish beat everything.
Messrs. Q. q. Critchett, f. IL. Francis Angus
tine Cojburn, and many other Swan Lake Usher
men were present when Mr.. White captured the
fish Mr.. Crichett nearly went wild when the
man with the dip net would land two or three

his clothes were in shreds, man of

his face, his nose was twice its natural

FOND oE "RoucHINe III"
One Family Explain How They Spend |
Few Weeks Every Summer.

The entire family was ''roughing it"
that is, the members of the family
called it ''roughing it." They were
located on the shore of small lake,
probably as far as two miles from the
nearest village and quarter of a mile
from the nearest farmhouse.
They believed in 'roughing it'' for a
few weeks during the summer. they
were proud of their ability to rough
it'' without complaining, and they oc-
casionally invited their friends to come
and see them trough it."
"Such a pretty place." said the
father.
1.-The outdoor life does us so much
good" said the mother.
''Roughing it is such jolly fun," said
the son.
'sThe nardships add zest to life. !"
said the daughter.
Then the visitors looked over the
place and one of them said:
Designed by one of the best archi-
tects in IL country" explained the
father proudly.
"The kitchen is gen." said the
mother; "a little crowded for three
servants, perhaps, but it has every
convenience.
'Nicely furnished, too," commented
another visitor.
mo expense was spared" said the
son.
aren't the Turkish rugs pretty?"
asked the daughter.
The visitors nodded assent, but
seemed puzzled. Finally one of them
said:
Excuse me, but-ah-where does
the-the hardship come IMP"
The family was aghast.
"Why there's no plastering on the
walls-just plain wood" said the
father.
"And no stationary washstands, 4"
said the mother.
'.And no gas-only hanging lamps" !"
said the son.
'.And you can see the floor between
the rugs, and it's not hardwood. added
the daughter.
But we don't mind; we find rough
ing it good for the health. they added
all together.-C Chicago Tribune.

IMPERFECT VISION.
People Like This Young Girl Who Had
Never Seen the Stars.

A girl, some sixteen years of age
had all her life been the victim of a
blemish in her eye that hindered per-
feet vision. At length surgical opera
tion was agreed upon and successfully
made.
The girl was kept within the house
till her eyes gathered full strength, and
was permitted gradually and sparing-
ly to go out of doors. It so happened
that some time elapsed after her re-
covery before she went into the open
air after nightfall. One evening she
rushed into the parlor with her face
aglow with excitement. The Joy of a
great discovery illumined every feat
ure-
''Oh, comer' she exclaimed; "come
out quickly to the lawn and see what
beautiful things have appeared in the
skyin
Her friends hastily followed her out
of doors, wondering what might have
occurred. They saw nothing.
"What do you mean?" they asked
her.
'Lookr' she said, pointing eagerly
heavenward, don't you see those
bright things up thereP There they
are-and there-sparkllng all over the
skvi'
my dear child" said one who loved
her, those are the stars"
Yes, the stars. which she had not
seen before. Friends could hardly
realize the fact that for all the years of
her life the dear child had been NOV
ing through Gods world with limited
vision, seeing only what lay close
around her, utterly oblivious that there
were stars. hosts of stars, all over the
sky, and all SO very beautiful! How
strange it all seemed!
3 Yet how many there are who go
through life with imperfect vision of
the best things that lie along their
pathway. comments the RAMS Horn.
The best of love. truth, sympathy and
goodness is. unknown to them. Just be-
cause they will not open their eyes to
behold. Let none imagine he per-
ceives or understands all of divinity or
of divine truth in the world till his
eyes have been opened by the truth
that points to and makes plain the
highest in knowledge and happiness.

THE COOK HAD NERVE.
With the Aid of This and Two RevOlveRs
He Soon Became a Chef.

Not so very long ago a large band
of cattle were resting up few miles
from Vinita, in the Indian Territory,
before being driven across the line to
Kansas. The boys belonging to the
outfit were particularly hard lot, and
in six weeks no less than five cooks
had left the camp in disgust, as no
matter what they did or how well the
food was prepared the men were sure
to growl. The head boss was in a
quandary when the fifth man left, as
he knew he would have hard job to
find another.
To his surprise, however, soon after
sunrise next morning short, slnewy
son of Erin walked into camp, and,
after lighting his pipe, sat down on a
dilapidated gripsack and inquired if
cook was wanted. 1t did not take the
boss long to make bargain with the
man, who said his name was MacMil-
Ian. lie was soon installed in his po-
sition. slowed his grip away, and after
wash in the creek began the opera
ton of getting dinner. The boys
sized up the new arrival as the beans
were dished out, but said nothing.
Next morning, however the fun be-
gan. One man asked Mac where he
learned to fry pork, another remarked
that he forgot to put the coffee in the
pot. But he was deaf to all until Joe
Taylor, the biggest man in the camp,
said he would be hanged if he could
eat such biscuit as those, and if there
was no Improvement in the grub at
noon the cook would hear something
drop.
At the first mention of the biscuit
the pipe fell from Macs mouth, and he
stood listening until Taylor had fin
ished. Then. walking quietly over to
the wagon, he fished out pair of
Colts revolvers, and, marching up to
the growler, shouted: You amt got
no appetite, but you sit down and eat
them biscuit, or I'll plug you before
you can winkm There was wicked
look in Macs eyes as he spoke, and
TAYLOR saw the cook meant business.
He had pistol in his belt. but he also
knew that before he could draw it he
would be dead man.
"Eat them biscuitsr came the order
again, while the rest of the crowd sat
around with grin, taking in the fun.
There was no help for it, so Taylor
sat down and before Mac let him go he
had eaten every biscuit in the pan. and
was stuffed so full he could hardly
breathe.
II thought you would soon find yonr
appetite" /" said Mac. Then turning to
the rest of the boys, he asked: "How's
the coffee?" Every one replied that il
was fine, and all agreed that the pork
was cooked to turn. Mac stayed
with the outfit several months, and
when he left the boys swore he was the
best cook west of the Mississippi rivef.
