TWO STORIES FOR ANGLERS.
Troat Caught Twsnty-Foar Hours After
It Took the Fly.

Troat Caught Twsnty-Foar Hours After
Il Took the Fly.
A well-known Albany angler had a
unique experience this summer trout
from camp to catch a mess for supper.
He was fishing with three flies on a
single leader. At the first cast his ny
was taken by a good-sized trout that
leaped from the water to grab 1t. He
evidently got the leader on slack
before the line was frightened from the
rod. as he snapped 1t on and went
swimming away with the two fiies
and broken leader trailing behind.
Next day the angler revisited the lake,
and as he was looking over the side of
the boat he espied in ten or fifteen feet
OF water the big trout that had taken
his leader the night before. A closer
examination revealed that his trout
ship was safely hitched to the dead
branch of a tree which had fallen into
the water. In swimming about one OF
the two free hooks on the leader had
caught in the branch and that ended
the migrations Of the trout still firmly
hooked by the fly he had grabbed.
Rowing ashore the angler stripped and
dove for his prize. He secured 1t and
q piece Of the branch. and to-day has
the stuffed trout with hook still In his
Jaw and the other hook embedded In
the broken branch mounted as a pisca-
torial study and souvenir of the incl

D.vse. for watching Letter Carrier.


The postofhce department in Wash
ington is experimenting among the
Washington letter carriers with a de-
vice for keeping tab on carriers as they
make their rounds from box to box.
and IL the experiment Is decided to be
a success the new system will probably
be adopted for the entire country. The
device is founded on the same princi-
pie as the alarm which night watchmen
pull once an hour. or half-hour. at
tending to business. II is attached to
the inside of letter boxes. and on re-
turn from his route the carrier de-
posits slips Of paper which contain an

the device will be intended as much for
the protection Of honest, faithful ear
riers as for the detection of those who
are inclined to be shiftless and careless.
