Mather was the first to express this belief and
that Bean confirmed him; anyway, file OF
Forest and Stream will tell who is entitled to
the credit for the belief, aud l will hunt the
thing up II necessary 10 settle the claim OF
priority; but no one al that time appeared TO
be willing TO say, flatfOOted, that the rainbow
was the young steelhead. Then the steelheed
was declared 10 be trout, not a salmon and
the rainbow issue slumbered.
Lately the matter broke out afresh on the
racine Coast, one faction claiming the steel
neau as salmon, another as trout, and DR..
jordan was called In as umpire. and Incidental
~ ne settles Qor the present az LEAST the status
OF The rainbow trout. My brother sends me
copy OF DR.. Jordan's letter written to a West
efn angler. and take this extract from it:
The So-called Steelhead is a well-knoWn
nsn along the coast. IL aScends The river TO
spawn, ana then runs out 10 sea again. 1t Is
not salmon and should not be called DIV that
name. Ii Is trout. IL was my opinion until
about two years ago that the seelhead and the
S0-cailed rainbow trout, as represented in the
streams OF the Coast Range and the. upper
sacramento, were different species. | have
now become convinced they are the same fish,
and that the fish which run down TO the sea
grow 10 De much larger in size and are palmer
IN color than those remaining In the mountain
streams.
My present opinion is, therefore, that the
steelhead ana rainbow trout are one and the
same, or al any rate that they all belong to the
same species, and that the large size and other
pecullaritles Of The steehead are simply asso-
clated with its life of the river mouths and in
Tue sea. Iho expression 'SLeelnead salmon
should not be used.'
Tine steelhead is also called salmon trout,
and Jordan once told me it was the only trout
we have that Is entitled TO have the prefix sal
mon In its name. This was because our lake
trout (namaycush) is often called salmon trout.
One may infer from JOrdan's letter that all
steelbeads do not go TO sea. ana this explains
why some few rainbow trout in the East re-
main 10 the streams where planted"
Whatever Professor Jordan may think OF the
habits of the steelhead there can be no gain
saying the fact that this fish will depart from
fresh water To salt If it can do so after spawn
ing. OF course some will become landlocked
aud can't get out.
This is what the klamath Falls Express says
OF an outing by San Francisco anglers TO the
Williamson River: The four San Francisco
gentlemen who annually visit Spring Creek on
the reservation for a month OF trouL-fShlng
and whose fortunes will aggregate several
millions, have left for home after an unusually
good season OF sport. They Killed three beauties
that weighed 111a pounds each. One day
Major Sewell caught an even 100 pounds OF
trout between the hours of 8 and p NJ, and
lie quarteps combined catch another day
weighed $50 pounds. 1t is not unsafe to say
that Messrs. Page, Babcock, Sewell and NIckell
took out close TO a ton of speckled beauties
from the Williamson River and tributary
streams.

Ieurs" in the East. But another new factor
has recently crept into the question which may
have considerable effect. The Eastern men
who hay been riding for the manufacturers
Sanger, johnson, Bliss, Tyler, Dirnberger and
others of this set-have carried things the past
few years with a high hand, with the result
that they have nearly "killed the goose that
lald the golden egg" 1t Is true that these
teams are of inestimable benefit TO the makers
as means of advertising their products, but
the manufacturers have tired of paying enor-
nous salaries year after year, and may seek
some other means of placing their wheels be-
fore the public. Should they all combine and
agree 10 do this the bottom would drop out OF
class b like shot. While this is not proba-
blity at present. 1t is by no means impossible.
These teams have in some ways made them
selves very unpopular, both with the public
and the other riders They have employed tao
ties to win races which were very questionable
in some Instances.
Further, it IS fact that in nearly all other
sports class r bicyclstS are looked upon as pro-

it was expected there would be a good deal OF

clubs comprising its membership should hold
or sanction class "a" races. IL was urged that

Tho Amateur Traveller Meets Abroad a Man
of Noble Bearing.
The amateur traveller, as his friends call
him, was in n meditative frame of mind,
and every one knew that over the second
cup of black coffee which followed his din
ner he was thinking Of some foreign land.
By that mysterious principle of thought
transference which every body knows moth
ing about some one asked, did you ever
see live duke at homer"
"Yes," he said. II was just thinking
about one duke saw. had driven out
from Palermo to the races at La Favorita,
where in an amphitheater Of great noun
tains the Sicilian nobility had gathered to
see some bad racing. 1t was one of the
most beautiful spots on earth. The great
mountains hemmed about level plain,
and it seemed too grand for horse racing.
But then, it was not real racing, you
know, only weak imitation, which really
did not detract from the sublimity of the
place, but gave people an excuse for being
there. We were driving back after the
races through the Corso, where up and
down the Sicilian great men passed one
another, when, swinging up the broad
way, saw = carriage, the panels of which
blazed with armorial bearings. 1t was of
an ancient and most respectable make, and
was drawn by four white horses, on two of
which were positions in liveries of blue
and silver. On the box, with folded arms,
sat two footmen in the same livery, and
on the footboard behind were two more,
all four with cooked hats and white, curl
ing wigs. On the blue velvet cushions of
the carriage reclined an old man, with a
snow white imperial and mustache. He
was heavy of face and figure, and from be-
meath dropping eyelids lusterless eyes look
ed out rs II upon world in which he had
seen nothing except safety. His forehead
was high, his nose aquiline, and his
whole air one of aristocratic repose.
'It was q strong face and one to be re-
membered. lean see it now rising through
the mists of memory above those of kings
and princes. AS the carriage swept by and
was lost in the throng of the crowded Cor
SO, asked my driver who was that"
The Duke de la -, he answered. 1t was
an ancient name, long known in Italy,
and speculatcd, as drove up and down,
upon what that man might have accom-
plished had he not been born q duke.
"That night, at the Hotel de France, 1
remarked that had seen the duke that
day in the Corso, for his strong face was
in my mind. The company-two or three
of the old Sicilians and an Englishman,
long resident-laughed, and one said, oh,
yes, as clever man as you would want to
meet except for his dukedom.
How is thatH'
Why, he was poor peasant boy who
worked like fits and finally made for
tune by inventing a new kind of chewing
gum. He put his money in railroad con-
tracts and made more. Then he bought
the De la - estate, and in those days
the title went with the estate, so he is the
duke, as you see him. The last of the De
la IS have long since slept in their
family sepulcher, but for energy and abil-
ity 1 will match this chewing gum man
against any one of them that ever lived.

Time passed on, and by and by read in
the papers that Luke Weston had been
elected president of the senate of my native
state, and that he was now a powerful
leader of powerful party OF course this
was the same Luke of whom l had before
read, but it could not be the same Luke
who had worn my FOOLS cap.
finally read that Luke Weston had been
elected to the senate of the United States,
and that he was greatly honored by all
who l--'ov- INV,
In another year visited the home of
my youth, and one Of my first inquiries
was Of Tute Weston. He was p United
STATES senator. SO it was my Luke after
all.
And where was James Shute? He was
bookkeeper in bank and was accounted
very correct and faithful clerk. He had
been there 10 years and would probably
remain there, as he liked the place and
had no particular ambition or qualification
above it.
And now with the silver touch of many
years upon my brow, sit down alone in
my study and reflect upon the past. see
the many, many children who have been
under my charge now grown to be men
and women, and see many of those whom
had thought to be excessively stupid oc-
cupying places of honor and trust, while
many whom 1 had thought wonderful in
learning are plodding along in the ordi-
nary pursuits of life, the lessons of the old
Bchoolbooks all forgotten, and the one
idea of food and clothing occupying theiJ
whole attention.-Ne York News.

A Daring Decd.

While the mutinous sepoys were attack
ing General Wheelers intrenchments at
Cawnpur a shot from their batteries blew
up the contents of two wheeled cart
loaded with cartridges. 1t also set fire to
the woodwork of tho cart, which was
standing in the place where the English
ammunition was stored.
Both the mutineers and the English saw
that if the fire was not extinguished there
would soon DO most disastrous explo.
sion. The sepoy batteries therefore poured
in deadly stream of round shot to pre-
vent the English from putting out the
flames.
A young lieutenant Delaforse, unmoved
by the concentrated fire of shot, threw
himself under the blazing carriage, tord
away the burning wood with his hands,
and throwing earth upon the blazing
brands stifled the fire before it could
spread to the ammunition.
That was the sort of deed which stirred
British lungs to hurrah and British gen.
erals to praise in official orders. 1t is for
such deeds that the iron cross of Germany,
the French cross of the Legion of Honor or
the Victoria cross of England is given.
Each of the decorations marks the fact
that soldier has distinguished himself
above his brave comrades.-Popular Jour.
