ONE FISH STORY EXPLODED.
That About Boiling a Fresh Caught
Trout in the Geysers.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
You needn't think that Just because
I have been out there am going to give
you all the details of a surprise which 1
did not feel at the stock tales of the Vel
lowstone Park" said the critical tourist.
Anybody knows that boiling water will
cook fish, and as long as you know that
the Yellowstone is full of geysers and
boiling springs I don't see what there is
wonderful about catching a trout and
then turning around and dangling 1t in a
boiling spring until it is cooked. 1t would
begin to be wonderful if boiling water
didn't cook fish everywhere.
But l wish when they are telling this
old story they'd finish it up-make 1t COM
plete. The next time you hear anybody
tell that story, just you watch out for
the way it ends. 1t never ends. The man
tells how he caught the trout. Well and
good; anybody can catch hundreds of
trout in those overstocked waters. Then
he tells how he swung around on his heel,
lowered it into a pool of boiling water,
and cooked it. Well. what's the end of
the story? There isn't any end. He just
chortles about how he was overcome by
the marvels of nature and that sort of
thing. He doesn't say any other word
about the fish. Now, if you will only let
the marvels of nature alone and keep your
eye fixed on the fish with which the story
began it will look mighty different
There is the pool of boiling water pref
ty handy, but not by any means to be
reached by pivoting on the fisherman's
heel. Then just SOS to have something to
talk about when he gets home the fisher
man souses his live trout into the boiling
water. If it's cruelty to broil a live lob
ster there ought to be something done 10
a man who will boil trout aliYe. And It
spoils the fish. The man has to throw ii
away after he has showed 1t through ma
lures marvels for the sake of his misera-
BILE little story. Nobody can eat a trout
that has been boiled with all its scales on
and all the machinery in place; it's got
to be thrown away. There is another thing
too, about this story. The next time you
hear it ask the man If he took the trout
out of the pool of boiling water. If he
says he did, then the fish didn't begin to
be cooked. for anybody who has ever seen
a boiled fish of any sort knows that when
IT'S done it won't hold together tight
enough to be lifted unless it's wrapped in
a napkin before It's cooked
so there you have the plain facts about
cooking trout on 'the hook. I know, be-
cause / thought it such a great marvel
of nature that / had to go and try il.
Then / saw what happened and haven't
yet got through feeling disgusted with
myself"

the Missouri river, in the neighborhood Of

il was the river that stopped IT, for had Il
not been there, or had the wind GOT into
the south, it would have swept on $50
miles further out of Dakota and on into
the British possessions, no one knows how
far. Probably about $500 square miles
of prairie was burned over by this moving
sea of fire. About thirty hunters and few
families were caught in that fire and
burned to death. Hundreds of buffaloes
and antelopes were roasted.
Among the most devastating of the last
great fires on the plains was one in 1880.
A prairie fire swept down from British Co
lumbia, across the international line into
Dakota, until il reached the Northern Pa
cohc Railroad At its greatest width, in
Northern Dakota, the flames were $50
miles wide. over 10000 square miles were
covered by the sweeping fire
Every town on the great plains of the
West, except in communities where peo-
pie are criminally careless, still takes pre-
cautions every autumn against the posi-
b!lity of devastation by prairie fires Fire
breaks are plowed by the men in the
prairie towns every August and Septem-
ber A fire break is made by plowing
a few burrows just outside and entirely
around the town. Further out say 100
yards, another circle is made, and then the
grass burned between. This effectually
prevents any hostile fire from taking the
community. 1t very frequently happens
that this fire break is constructed after
the fire which it is intended TO guard
against has appeared. On such occasions,
While one party goes out With brooms,
shovels old grain sacks and other wea-
pons to stay the progress OF the fire as
much as possible, another attaches teams
20 all plows that can be found and be-
gins 10 make the needed burrows As
soon as the burrows are turned the back
fire is started, and usually the town is
saved The fire breaks simple as they
are, have saved thousands of lives of set
tiers in the West, and protected a vast
amount of capital invested in farming
property and homes of poor families

Counsel for the condemned negro has filed

The recent grand jury created quite a
stir in advocating retrenchment and
economy The per diem of all jurors, that
body included, was cut 25 per cent. and
further Recommendation made that many
of the county officers be paid a reasona-
bic salary and the present fee system abol-
ished. They ask the introduction of a bill
in the legislature providing for payment
of pensions only TO Confederate veterans
who are without means of support and are
unable to support themselves. The tax
dodgers also came in for full share of
attention at the hands of the grand jury.
Widows of Confederate veterans, they
think, should only be paid pensions until
they marry or die. The recommendations
have been very generally commended.
The fight inauguIated by merchants of
Americus for reduced expenditures by the
city, and against the imposing of further
burdensome special license taxes upon all
lines of business, continues. Several meet
ings were held during the past week, and
the matter is now in the hands of the
City Council. Salaries of school teachers,
already been fixed and cannot be cut now,
but it is believed that all will be whacked
another year, and an era of economy
and retrenchment, with lower taxes, in
augurated In Americus.

two gentlemen in front OF his door Both
were exceedingly drunk one occupying

lamppost, and both were well dr. ssed.
Their hats we're over their eyes however,
and the appearance presented was most
amusing.
Mr.. Ferguson was attracted to the spct
by the odd behavior Of the more intoxicated
of the duo. This fellow had rammed his
right hand into a green painted garbage
boz and apparently was searching for
something. Believing that jewel or other
valuable had been lost, ana confident that
the owner would never find it while in
such condition, the comedian introduced
himself and asked if he might be OF any
assistance. At this remark. the-physi-
