SALMON WILL FIGHT HARD.
The King OF Fish Is Not Always Caught
Even When Hooked.

From the Washington Star.
"A salmon doesn't always take the fly as
a trout does and II never rises to one
while 1t Is passing up or down stream"
said an experienced angler for tits king
OF fish, 1T is only while the salmon is
lying at rest in pools, the reposing water
at the foot of some rapid or the silent
starting place of such rapid, that 1t will
respond to the fishermans thousand In
the deep stretches of stream cast.
Salmon may be moving along the water
that extends perhaps for a mile be-
tween rapids, but the angler might drop
his flies above them for a month II it
were possible without even being re-
warded by a single rise. The pool liz the
place to whip and the time early morning
or late In the afternoon. If the epcurean
denizen Of the pool is so inclined there is
sport ahead for the angler He drops his
fly lightly on the water and then the sal
mon In the humor will rise to it and seize
1t at once. Then the excitement begins.
I. is divided between the fish and the
angler. The more the salmon tries to get
out of trouble the deeper he gets the fish
erman in. The fish no sooner feels the
hook in his jaw than he seems to realize
that he has got to get it out as soon as
possible. Then things begin to boil. The
first thing the fisherman knows 100 feet
Of line have been spun from his reel and
he thinks he is In for a long chase down
stream when suddenly the salmon dou-
bles and dashes straight back towards
ihe boat. Then there is work for the
angler IL he expects to reel In the slack OF
the line and get 1t taut again in good
time.
mo sooner is the line taut once more
than the salmon feels its tension through
the hook In its jaw and the chances are
that he will shoot upward and out of the
water his entire length and more Taking
his header he dashes madly down into
the depths again, tearing this way and
that way, darling around and around and
making lively work for the fisherman and
the handler of the boat. After an exciting
series of maneuvers such as this the mad
fish may take it into his head to start
down stream like a steam engine, putting
the guide at his best to keep the boat
near him. The salmon may lead a chase
of mile In this way then stop suddenly
land resume Its leaping and doubling tao
ties.
The fight may last an hour or more
and If the angler Is skillful and cool and
his guide or gaffman dexterous and
watchfui the contest should have but one
ending and eventually the glittering
prize will be stretched at the bottom of
the canoe. If the angler is not skillful
and cool the fight will also have but one
ending. The glittering fish will not be
stretched at the bottom of the canoe, but
In very short time will be In the bottom
OF this pool, no doubt congratulating him
self that his foeman was not worthy of
his steel" pr.

RODE UP ON THE DUMs-WAiTER.

Former servant Cooliy Makes the Land
lady Haul Her Upstairs.
From the Philadelphia Press.
When the buzZing of an electric bell
conveyed the information that some
thing on the dumb waiter was ready
to be hauled upstairs in the boarding
house at 110 West .Eighty-second street
yesterday morning, Mrs. Jane D. Davis,
the landlady, proceeded to yank the
rope that causes the ascent of the
housekeeper's friend.
My! But this is heavy" painted
Mrs. Davis. Il wonder if someone has
gas bill?'' III
Slowly and laboriously the work went
on, and Mrs. Davis nearly went into
commissions as a dainty 39-cent rose
trimmed hat came into view, followed
closely by the smiling features of Kate
Kelly, who was enjoying a free ride
at the expense of Mrs. Davis vital
energies.
Il want me S., please" remarked
Kate Kelly, with sternness and as much
dignity as any woman cooped up in a
dumb waiter could assume.
Mrs. Davis was speechless with rage
for a moment. while Kate transfixed
her with stony stare. When the land
lady's voice returned she used it to such
good advantage that a man ran to her
assistance, yanked Kate from her
throne and propelled her downstairs
into the arms of a policeman, who, in
turn, exhibited her to Magistrate Ohm
sted in the west side court where a
S. fine perched itself on her hitherto
unblemished record.
Mrs. Davis once employed Kate as
a servant, but recently discharged her.
Mrs. Davis denied in court that she
owed money to Kate.

Collecting Bicycle Tax,

The French government, having expert
enced considerable difficulty In collecting
the tax on bicycles, has introduced a new
method of collecting that impost. On pay
ment of the annual cycle tax the authori-
ties provide a small metal plate which the
owner is required to exhibit on a promi-
nent part of AIS wheel. Any machine not
bearing the mark will be seized and its
owner summoned and fined. The tax lev
led is S.a0 for an ordinary bicycle, $40
Tor tandem and the same for motor
cycle. A different style of plate will be
issued for each year.

Lake of Boiling Mud.

Near Grobogana, Java, there is a lake
of boiling mud about two miles in cir
cumferenee. Immense columns of
steaming mud are constantly ascending
and descending, and on the western
edge the gigantic bubbles are continu-
ally forming and exploding at the rate
of three a minute.

First Envelope Ever Made.

One of the odd exhibits in the British
museum, London, is the first envelope
ever made. 1t is a crude, handmade af-
fair, but constructed on lines similar to
those in use to-day. Up to the niue of
the present century modern envelopes
were unknown. Correspondents folded
their sheets into little squares, sealing the
flap with wax and writing the SUBSCRIPTION
on the blank back.

The area of the Pretoria diamond

as high as 5000 carats.

which they take up the utterances of
the few stalwart republicans who may
be opposed to him argues that Mantle,
above all others, is the man whom the
democrats fear, says the Bitter Root
Times. Radical party men will continue
to shout long and loudly over party
consistency, but politics will resolve it
self down to a cold blooded business
proposition before the next state con-
vention is held, and the man who has
never known anything but the sacred
traditions of his party will not be in it
with the man whose records and envir-
onments are such that he can smite all
opposing factions and get the vote that
will elect him. 1t may be that Mantle
is the man who can do this. AT any
rate he is man with an unblemished
political record and would do honor to
the state as its chief executive. should
he be elected.

TIE Sanders Boom.

The footing of the political horns goes
bravely on. Nearly every republican
who wants the nomination for governor
is shouting, with the exception of the
war horse" Colonel w. f. Sanders.
Sanders is a republican from the ground
up, says the Butte Times. He Is no
political intriguer. He is common, eV
eryday, plain Colonel Sanders. A re-
publican from boyhood to manhood, as
he totters along toward old age, he is
the most stalwart of all republicans in
this land. Colonel Sanders has no apollo
gies to make for anything that he may
have done while serving in any public
position. He has served his party as a
partisan and as a republican. Nobody
can deny his identity with the party,
which is his religion. No creed or no
dogma of it's faith has he tried to
slough but as a republican, first, he
has followed faithfully its teachings
and has bowed with submission to its
mandates. There is no man in Montana
who can say but that this grand old
monumental pioneer in the faith of his
party is an ideal republican and a man
who is neither afraid of creed nor to
announce his loyalty to the party in
any land or at any place wherever ne
may be. Colonel w. F. Sanders is the
man the republican state convention
should name as its candidate for gov
ernor. Colonel w. F. Sanders Is the
identical statesman who should have
been selected for United States senator
by the republican legislature. Colonel
W. f. Sanders is republican states
man and splendid gentleman.

BOON FOR THOSE DEMENTED.
Newly Invented Straightjacket That Will
Save Much Suffering.

Newly invented Straightjacket That Will
Save Much Suffering.
From the Washington Times.
j. M. Hooper of Baltimore applied for
patent papers on an invention that
promises to be of incalulable assistance
to hospitals and public and private asy-
lums where insane, delirious or unruly
patients are handled. The invention is
known as a rest sheet and straitjacket
and is combination of both, holding
the patient securely and comfortably
without even the aid of an attendant.
All the hospitals have felt the need
of just such an invention as has been
perfected by Mr. Hooper and hospital
attendants in general will hail with de-
light the advent of the sheet and jacket
that will save both many struggles
with a wild sufferer and in many cases
personal injury of some sort either to
the patient or the nurse.
The patent Is especially to protect in
sane or delirious patients, and can be
adjusted to any bed whatsoever 1t can
be affixed as readily to a cot or a sur
gical table, and the patient is held in
such way as not alone to avoid per-
sonal injury, but also to prevent the
exposure of any part of the body. This
will be especially advantageous in
many cases where exposure to the air
is especially deleterious to the suffer
erS chances OF recovery. Inc patient
may be left entirely alone without fear,
for the strongest man is utterly help
less when under the sheet.
The sheet is made of heavy cotton
duck which can be both laundered and
sterilized, thus fulfilling all hygienic
conditions. The sheet fits close around
the neck of the PROSTATE patient, being
edged with chamois to avoid chatting.
The arms come through two openings
in the sheet and are held down in a
channels lined duck-trap arrangement
that gives ease yet security. The feet
are strapped in like manner, being COW
cred with an extra flap of cotton duck
to keep off flies and air. This extra
flap gives certain freedom to the feet
that would be impossible if placed I'M
der the main sheet which is drawn
down tight by the fastenings.
These are made in such a way as to
be impossible to tear out. The head
can be turned and the body, to some
extent, but the most frantic struggles
would be productive of no harm on the
part of the patient. Two extra straps
can be run across the body If deemed
necessary.
The device has been in use in the
city hospital of Baltimore for the past
six months and is given the highest in
dorsement.

FACING WIND PRESSURE.
An Engineers Narrow Escape at 1Ot
Miles an Hour,

Miles an Hour.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
Speaking of these new turbine boats
that are expected to travel 80 and 40
miles an hour said an old railroad en-
gineer, Il wonder if they have properly
allowed for the wind pressure. l know
little something about that myself, and l
tell you it's pretty serious matter. A
wind that blows 40 miles an hour is
good, stiff breeze, and the weather bureau
calls 60 miles a gale. So, if you run
boat 40 miles an hour through station
airy atmosphere you are bound to stir up
quite a breeze for yourself, and if you
should be running into 30-knot wind you
would have the stiffest kind of a gale
blowing about your decks In other words,
half the time man couldn't work unpro-
tected on the deck. Unless he is behind
wind shield he would be whisked away
like a thstledown, and even If he could
stick to the ship he couldn't breathe.

from the wind, and ! had a sort of a lit
