GENERAL BUTLER's EXPERIENCE
whats the matter with nv nose ?

well, haven't had time to look at 1t
since Sunday, but everybody has been ask
ing the same question, and l think it's
about time that | introduce my nasal APP
pendage to a mirror"
1t was the great and only Pete QuiDlaD.
one of the most expert anglers of the
State, excepting Jim OTIdortf. who made
the foregoing reply yesterday to ques-
ton concerning the rubcund appearance
of his Celtic nose.
Mr.. Quinlan went fishing last Sunday,
aud his destination was the beautiful San
Andreas Lake, at which place he was
Joined by Judge Hunt and other disciples
of Walton, who would rather fish than do
politics.
1t was the first Sunday of the season
for angling on the big fresh water pond,
and at the least calculation there were
fully 800 rods on the lake.
The millionaire fished alongside the man
whose bank account is limited to a few
dollars, but their dress was the same, and
strange 10 say, the game fishes OF the
water made no distinction between man
and man.
1t was a great day for fishing, and every
body enjoyed first-class sport.
DR.. Watt and Robert Hewson had be-
come so deeply interested in the pastime
that they kept the disciples who dreamed"
in the same sleeping compartment at
Colonel Kerr's natatorial rendezvous awake
all Saturday night with striking feats Of
sOmnam buliSm.
Hewson's fish-walk was very highly
commented upon by General John Butler,
the dlscOverer of the salmon roe bait, and
were 1t not for the good spirits that al
ways accompany General Butler on expe-
ditions of this kind il is question Of
doubt where HewsOn would have landed
by the light of the moon.
Doc Watt mutiered all kinds of things
concerning fishes and land lions, and had
1t not been for q bottle of patent fish oil
which Bob Taylor applied to his shining
pate just as the Doc" was about to SOM
MANIPULATE into a bees nest there is no
telling the quantity and quality of stings
the right honorable Scotch angler would
have received.
Jack Sammie, whose nose compared
most fayOrablv IN color with that of
Honest Pete Quinlan, was the most sur
priSed man on earth when he had learned
that Buffers boat land ballast" had
drltted with the food on Saturday morn
Ing for parts unknown.
Colonel Kerr was as mad as a halter
when he discovered that some pirates had
made raid upon his fleet of war vessels
aud spirited away two of his fastest
Doc" Simpson was cruel enough TO
charge Steelbead Sugarhouse with the
theft but as the latter gentleman's honesty
is beyond question Simpsons charge was
not considered for a moment
when the boats were found missing
General Butler volunteered his services to
Colonel Kerr, and promised that if physi-
cal force should be required to bring the
thieves TO justice he would gladly lend his
aid IN the capture. Mr.. Kerr considered
General Buffers proposal for a few mo-
ments and then wisely concluded that as
the latter carries reputation for heavy
hitting he would have 10 refuse the gener-
ais kind offer, as he did not desire TO have
any human gore spilled on the Sabbath.
Kerr went on the search for the missing
boats alone and finally discovered them at
the end Of the lake In charge of two m en-
whose features will not be seen again this
year on San Andreas Lake.
Seeing on the bank two decidedly inuo-
cent and uncOuth looking individuals.
whose grotesQue makeup reminded him
OF San Joaquin harvest Outht, Mr.. Kerr
offered them the use of the captured
craft, which they gladly accepted, and in
return for the kindness extended, the man
who donned the clowns hat banded the
general a bottle which was labeled very
old chicken hZz." The surprise of the re-
cipient can possibly be better imagined
than described when at the first good
glance of the bottle be discovered that it
was the one that disappeared with Buffers
canoe.
The young man with the red ingrowing
whiskers explained how the bottle had
fallen into his possession by stating that
Ia consideration of a box of salmon roe the
men in the boat had given them the bottle
which contained the anglers delight.
Among the anglers and wOuld-be anglers
who enjoyed pleasant outing there were
quite number of odd appearing charac-
ters. Some 6shed with hand lines, and it
afforded no end Of amusement to many
pleasure hunters 10 see the hand lines
yankng in big fish in a manner that would
have caused ''Yanker" Dolliver to blush
for shame.
