Kansas City Times man, he said
"When I arrived within about fifty

Walton at the Ekposition.

1t is proposed by 4 special agent
Of the United States Fish Commits
sion, who is in charge Of the angling
exhibit at the Worlds Fair, that the
three-hundredth anniversary Of the
birth Of Izaak Walton, whom En-"
glish-sDeak:ng persons piscatorially
inclined have long heard of, shall be
celebrated at the Exposition. The
agent thinks that the celebration
should take the form Of an angling
tournament which should be an eX-
bibiti,n OF skill in casting artificial
flies and bait. The commissioner
desires also to have erected a memo
rial building to Izaak Walton, TO take
the form of reproduction OF Wal
ton and WOtton's house on the River
Dove in England.
Izaak Walton was one Of those
gentle souls much heard Of and
alluded TO, an author of books on
angling that have great celebrity and
few readers. Izaak lived TO a green
old age. He was just 80 when he
took the bait dropped by death and
was landed in the Elyslan fields.
His life was gentle and contempla-
tive, but he himself said nothing 50
much 10 praise OF ttshing as his friend
Sir Henry Wotton, whom he quotes
"a most dear lover and frequent prac.
ticer of the art Of angling, Of which
he would say, Twas an em-
ploymeut for his idle time, which
was then not idly spent, rest to his
mind, cheerer to his spirits, a d.
verter of sadness, calmer Of unQuiet
thoughts, moderator Of passions, a
procurer of contentedness; and that
it begat habits Of peace and patience
in those that professed and practiced
it.n
1t is the lover of old books rather
chan the lover Of the fishing rod
who knows Izaak Walton, and pre-
else knowledge of his fame is confined,
therefore, to small number Of En-
glish readers. The fisherman TO day
would care very little about his advice
concerning the manner in which
bait should be attached TO the hook,
as witness; Thus use your frog: Put
your hook-I mean the arming wire
through his mouth and out at his
klIlSg duu lu6u Win d uuc ueGulc duu
silk sew the upper part Of his leg with
| only one stitch to the arming wire OF
your hook, or tie the frogs leg above
! the upper joint to the armed wire,
and in so doing use him as though
| you loved him"
We don't fish that way nowadays,
and when we do tmpale frog, as Is
/ sometimes done, we don't talk oi
! handling him as II we loved him.
| This is practical age.
Let US admit that Walton was "aL
excellent angler and is now with
! God" The words are his own. Bu,
If we are to celebrate at Worlds
Fair the memory of a fisherman who
/ is known throughout Christianity
not to the readers Of English litera
ture alone but wherever the gospel:
are disseminated, perhaps it would
be well that we take up ST. Peter
who had a double office-to spread
his nets for the tenants Of the deep
and, by the commission of the Savior
/ fisher of men.

Vegetable ARTILLERY.

The common balsam has a most

GETTING sERIOrs.

WASHINGTON, March THE Behring
sea situation still continues to be the
CHIEF topic of gossip. The return of
the president seems 10 be accepted as
an indication that tirm stand viii be
maintained. The matter is generally
regarded as very serious and no pre-
dictions are made as TO the outcome.
The action of Lord Salisbury in re-
fusing to renew the modus vivendi,
while at the same time approving the
treaty of arbitration, is considered in
the nature of direct insult, and his sug-
gsstion that closed zone be observed
around the Pribyloff islands is regard
ed as a mere bubble. It is generally
regarded that to submit the whole
matter to arbitration and leave the
sea entirely open to fishers for a
whole season would be absurd on
the face of il, inasmuch as by
the time the question came to be
settled there would be literally moth
ing left to arbitrate for the reason
that there would be no seals extant.
An open season, as proposed, it is
thought would mean the utter annihi-
lation of the species.
There need be no fear that the
policy followed will be lacking in
vigor or will fail TO uphold American
rights. limitations have been re-
ceived that Lord Salisbury did not
fully estimate the irritation his
refusal to renew the modus vivendi
would cause. 1t has been limited that
Minister Lincoln has received informa-
ton in the nature of an explanation"
of just what the British foreign Office
meant by the suggestion of 3o-mile
limit around the Pribyloff islands.
The Canadians who have fostered the
seal-poaching industry are plainly
hopeful that they will get another sea
sons unrestricted poaching. In this
they are badly mistaken. Unless the
modus vivendi is renewed by the Brit
ish government the arbitration treaty
win not be ratified by the senate. The
treaty may be sent in by the president
with a recommendation for an amend
ment requiring the renewal of the
modus vivendi. If Great Britain IS not
willing to consent to this then the
United States viii undertake the pro-
lection Of the seals alone and will act
on the assumption that its jurisdiction
is complete.
