THE MINERS BIG DOG.
He Is an Intelligent Animal and Knows
When Sunday Comes.

The miners big dog which appears at
all the C. P. r. stations is quite an In
stitutlon. They think nothing Of pulling
down a wolf or an Indian either, for
the matter of that; but they are also
very friendly. faithful and intelligent
and mighty proud Of their masters, who
certainly spoil them In the country
miners small dogs fight for the Gnuse-
ment Of their masters. But | have seen
two gold washers fight, or rather pre-
tend to fight, simply for the amusement
of their big dogs. The dogs looked on
and watched the contest with the inter
est Of connoisseurs. When their master
got the best Of it they jumped about
wild with JOY. and when he got worsted
they would bark furiously at the enc
my, appreciating the sport most thor
ougL1y, but never Intervening except in
the way of vocal sympathy and moral
support They are also very acute and
observant. Every day, at certain spots,
the railway refreshment car throws out
waste, and these dogs know the time
and come from afar in crowds to feast
on fat things. But on Sunday there is
no distribution of waste and II IS
strange. but true, that never dog
makes his appearance or miscalculates
his days. which certainly proves that
dogs are very practical arithmeticians.

Beneath the peninsula Of Lower Micf-

TICKLING TROUT.
The Little Beauties Are often Caught
by the Hand.

Shakespeare is far from being the only
high authority who asserts the possi-
biHty of catching trout without the aid
of any other angling implements than
the fisherman's own hands. Robert
Louis Stevenson knew all about this
simple but effective method There is a
passage in ''kidnapped' that describes
IL minutely. While David BalfOur and
Alan Breck Stewart were hiding in the
mountains, they supplemented their diet
of porridge in Just this way. and as
David says. "grilled the little trOuts
that we caught with our hands under
the stones and Overhanging banks OF the
burn. This he adds, was indeed our
chief pleasure and business. We spent
a great part Of our days at the water
side, stripped to the waist, and cropping
about or (as they say guddling' for
these fish The largest we got might
have been three-quarters OF q pound. :"
So Captain Nsttleton. about whose trout
tickling exploits there was an editorial
article In the Times or Sunday, is again
vindica ted. II will he seen that Steven
son uses the word "guddling." In the
North Of Ireland the term is "ginnling."
The latter comes probably from the
Scotch "ginner," or "gtnnel," a fish's
gill. None Of the dictionaries make any
attempt to explain "guidle." An an
oisnt fisherman In whom there is no
guile, informs us that trout remain quiet
when tickled because parasites, eepe-
clalIy at the low-wster season. fasten
themselves upon the creatures skin.

any kind allays. This is not poetic

At the Mammoth Spring meeting of tue State press association there was something said of an editorial exeur- sion to the Cotton States and Interna- tional Exposition this fall. Every newspaper man we have heard express himself on this subject was heartily in favor of the excursion. Nearly every member of the press association con templates visiting the Exposition, and it occurs to us that much pleasure would be added if they could all go at the same time.

Base Ball.

The Marianna base ball team met the "Crackajacks" of this city in d match game yesterday and were com pletely vanquished. It was the most one-sided affair we ever witnessed in this city in the way of ball game. and 1t was evident after the first two or three innings were played that the vis- ltors had struct team of 'crackajacks for true. It was utterly impossible for the Marianna boys to get in the game. they took the overwhelming de. feat like little men. however, and there was something said about another game in which we wish them better success. Everything passed off quiet. ", there being no squabble about the de- clsions of the umpire, who was fairund impartial, and showed himself to be a perfect gentleman.
 Louie RolIwage deserves special mention for making several brilliant catches. and fielding some hot groun- ders that would have done credit to a professional.
 A more pleasant and agreeable lot ot young men than the Marianne boys would be hard to find As base ball team they are an exception.
