"Do you think he struck you?''
asked Yorker.
"Sure of it," replied Zuckmaier.
1'The fish lost didn't weigh an ounce
less than so pounds, and he might
have gone more than that"
The tone, the manner of springing
such a sensation, both carried con-
viction with them if he had never
said another word, and not one of US
ever thought of questioning his story
until later.

the bay until we had rounded the
point of the narrows that connects
this portion with the main lake, be-
gan Zuckmaier again. 81 had sized
the location up as we came through
this morning, and made up my mind
it was a good place for fish. We
hadn't been there three minutes be-
fore I had a strike. He took the bait
just as though he was starved, and
hooked him nicely. Like ali muslzies,
he went out of the water the first
thing, and saw he was only small
one, probably one of the great
grandchildren. landed him, dropped
him overheard again, and during the
next hour landed several of about
the same size. The big one didn't
show up until nearly noon, but
wasn't discouraged, for I had gotten
it into my head that they were hold
ing a family reunion, and that the
old man must be around somewhere.
81 had waited longer than usual for
new strike, and when it finally
came it was peculiar. The strike was
hard one, all right, but after I had
hooked him he failed to show him
self, which was Unusual. I played
that fish for ten minutes or more,
and was having the best kind of
sport; then he shot around the stern
of the canoe, and I passed my rod
over my head to accommodate him
to his new location. I had been pull
ing him in little all the time, and
as he got to the other side of the
canoe I had him within dozen feet
of us, and his nose was right up to
the top of the water. That was the
first glimpse I had had of him, and
when I saw him L nearly jumped out
of the canoe. He was the biggest
thing 1 ever saw in the way of a fish,
but, as bad luck would have it, had
hooked just through the tip of the
nose, and knew that could never
land him. My revolver was laying at
my feet between Fraser and myself,
and I asked him to shoot the mon

Chicken Turnoxers.

Chop fine, cold roast chicken; to
three large cupfuls of meat add one
cup of thick cream sauce made thus:
Rub together two tablespoonfuls of
flour and one of butter, moistening
with a little warm water, and adding
this mixture to one cup of boiling milk
in double boiler; add to the boiling
sauce cupful of finely chopped eel
cry. Mix well with the chicken and
season with a teaspoonful of curry
powder (more or less seasoning as you
like). Roll puff paste quite thin and
cut in circles between three and four
inches across. Heap a spoonful of
chicken on one-ha1f and hold the other
half over, pinching the edges firmly to-
gether. Keep in a cold place until
needed. Bake in brisk oven.-De-

THE ASEPTIC PILLOW.
New Method of Fighting Germs OF
Various Diseases, Recommended
by Medical Men.

The pillow stuffed with pine
needles, with poppy leaves, or with
eucalyptus leaves and shavings must
give way to the aseptic pillow which
now threatens to change every Chris
tian bed into a quasi-hospital.
The new aid to health is a double
pillow, or really one pillow which
has been split longitudinaIly. In the
center of each half is a pocket filed
with dried sponge, japanese sponge,
or similar material. Upon this the
owner Pours such drug or combina-
ton of drugs as may be required
by his physical system. According
to the new idea each destructive
germ has it's own specific antidote,
and every kind of sore or diseased
tissue its own particular remedy.
Camphor oil and camphoric acid and
Isterine are among the favorite
preparations. All are strongly aro-
matte, and all possess a germicide
character. When the pillow is not in
use the diffusion is small, but when
the owner is lying down the heat of
the head and body and the move-
ment of the sleeper increase the
evaporation and charge all the air
around the pillow with a small per-
centage of the aseptic. For those to
whom any one of the substances is
distasteful there are strong essential
oils which can be added to conceal
the SAVIOR. While the new project
is great deal of fad, it neverthe-
less accomplishes much in particular
cases. For coughs, colds and coryzas
it seems to be very beneficial.-N. Y.

THE STRIKE WAS A HARD ONE.

gian bay country to which the Grand
Trunk railway carries so many tour
lists and fishermen in which the fight
was that we proposed to go for mus
kies.
Just as Kah-pee-kog is the Eden
of the bass family, so is Crane lake
the Eden of the muskies, and it was
to Crane lake we went. In the party
were Smith and Yorker, Zuckmaier,
Fraser and myself, and we headed
straight for that picturesque bit of
water known as Deep Cut in Crane,
where Fraser assured us the muskies
were so thick as to crowd each other
for room to swim, and where historic
legend has it the old Adam musl1y
himself resides. It was old Adam we
were after, and everyone of us, with
the exception of Zuckmaier, boosted
of our individual intention to capture
him. While we talked fish, and our
own ability to capture them, Zuck-
maier admired the scenery: He saw
every new species of wildfower along
the banks of the creek between Kah-
pee-kog and Healy as we passed
through; caught a glimpse of the
startled fawn as it dashed away
through the underbrush; pointed out
to us the tracks Bruin had left when
he came down for his drink, and
found other interesting things that
no one but quiet, unassuming, ma
ture-loving Zuckmaier could have
found. Before we had launched our
canoes on the waters of Crane lake
he had been well repaid for the trou-
BILE of the trip from the interesting
things he had seen.
We were not the only visitors to
Crane lake that day. Two gentlemen
from the Ingerso1 camp on Healy
came in few minutes after us with
ambitions similar to our own, and
followed us into Deep Cut.
When we were ready for the days
fishing Zuckmaier and Fraser had
been paired off to the same canoe;
Smith was by himself in another, and
Yorker and I occupied a third.
It was not until two o'clock in the
afternoon that we were again to-
gether, and ready for a recounting
of our adventures during an hours
rest.

THOSE ANGEL CHILDREN.
one of Them who Exerted Hefself
to Entertain . Caller on
Her Sister.


When young Sellshoes called the
other evening, Miss Ohfudge, in a
fanne1ette wrapper, was reading an
intensely absorbing novel in her room
upstairs, and SO she sent her angel
sister Pansy, aged six, downstairs to
inform Mr.. Sellshoes that she'd be
down in a few moments. The angel
sister carried the information to Mr..
Sellshoes in the parlor and then how
cred around, waiting for an oppor-
tunity to deliver herself of few
bright little sayings of childhood, re-
lates the Washington Star.
'sMr. Sellshoes," she remarked, aft
er awhile, in a shy manner, twisting
her hands coyly, "have you got many
bureau drawers where you live and
do you hunt in them much?''
'eWell-er-I Dunno" replied Mr..
Sellshoes, hesitatingly. "Why?"
"Oh, nuthin'," replied the angel
child, "'cept that sis she began t.
hunt, IS soon's you came, through the
bureau drawers FIR a piece o. sticlin'
plaster t. cover up a big pimple she's
got on her chin, an she said she jes'
wisht you had t. rubber an hunt
through all your bureau drawers an
then you wouldn't be so willin' t put
folks out so. Do you often have t.
hunt through your bureau drawers? ?"
Young SeIlshoes flushed slightly,
then paled slightly and made an in
audible reply. The angel child pre-
tended to fix the rug in front of the
CRATE fire for moment, and then she
opened up again.
''Oh, Mr.. Sellshoesi" she exclaimed,
'what a funny hat you must wear?
Do let me see it, won't your"
''Why, it's just like all other hats, ="
replied young Sellshoes, in muf1ed,
choked sort of tone. "Why do you
wish to see ?"
"Oh, nuthin','' replied the angel
child, turning around and drumming
the piano, "'cept that sis she says
that you talk through your hat, an 1
thought it must be funny-looking
hat"
Young Sellshoes twisted some more
in his seat and half rose to go, but,
thinking better of it, again stared
hard out of the window. The angel
child drummed on for couple of
minutes, and then she once more
wheeled about on the stool.
'And, oh, Mr.. SeIlshoes," she pratt
tied, in her sweet. innocent little
voice, please, sir, tell me what you
won't do?"
"Won't do?' repeated young Sell
shoes, hoarsely. ''Why, I don't think
I understand what you
"Wen," cut in the lovely little
prattling lamb, 81 heard sis say yes
terday, wen she was talkin' bout
you: He won't do jes' like that, an
thought that"
The rest of it was drowned in the
tum-tumming of the angel child's an
gel little paws on the piano.
Then young Sellshoes went out into
the clammy night without waiting for
Miss Ohfudge, and three minutes aft
er he left the angel child of the Oh
fudge household was learning things
about the back of a corrugated ster-
ling silver hair brush that she had
never dreamed of in her young and
joyous life before.

Easy Fishing in Oregon.

Those who like to see immense
schools of fish, most of them weigh
ing from two to six pounds each,
ought to be here. Five minutes
walk from Main street brings one to
the shores of Klamath rapids, where
every little nook, bay and tributary
creek is so crowded with mullets
that their backs stick out of the
water. Ordinary fishing with hooks,
spears or even nets is too slow to
think of. With pitchfork or with
the naked hands a backload may be
thrown out in five minutes.-Klamath

Jaunty Wraps of Tancta SILK and

Very swell are the new gloves with

Military jackets are in the very

Gold is not to be worn in any ag-

in masses has passed, but bits and

THREE BEFORE VICTORIA.
None of the Three Kings Did Any
thing to Make His Reign Great
or Glorious.

Victoria assembled the throne at an
inauspicious moment. Kingship had
fallen into a miserable disrepute. The
last three monarchs who had sat upon
our throne had done little to make
their Office easy or glorious, says
Blackwood's. George III. had OBJ
secured whatever virtues were his by
an obstinacy of opinion which lost us
q vast colony, and which might well
have enslaved us to a foreign power.
George ". had died unwept and I'M
pitied. AS he had made his distin-
guished Office a scandal, as he had
made his throne ridiculous by de-
plorable levity of taste and conduct,
so he had forfeited the affection of
his people, and alienated their sym
pathy long before death overlook
him. "There never was an individ-
ual," proclaimed the Times but few
weeks after his death, "less regretted
by his f4l1ow-creatures than this de-
ceased king. What eye has wept for
him? What heart has heaved one
throb of unnecessary sorrow?" And
the Times expressed in these bitter
words nothing less than the popular
Judgment. Nor can it be said that
William ". graced the throne of
Britain. Loved for his homely viz
tues, he raised smile of kindly con-
tempt by his lack of dignity, and his
frank misunderstanding of kingly
ceremonial. On the day of his ac-
cession he escaped from his council
and was found throwing shillings to
a noisy crowd in back street, and
never did he acquire the rudiments
of tact, which should be the first wis

Considered the one truthful man in
camp. and then for him to be caught
in the worst lie of the season, and
caught so that there was no POSSIBLE
ity of twisting out of it, or explain

remainder of the club, was inexplain-

Zucl1maier has been able to prove
the truthfulness of every fish tale he
had ever told, and it had become the
rule never to question anything he
told. So implicit was our confidence
in him that we would probably have
believed him had he told of landing
a UNDERGROUND muslky and then
throwing it back into the lake again.
But there came a day when this
implicit trust in Zuckmaier was
broken, and, though he protested his
innocence of any intent to deceive, we
always took the trouble to prove the
truthfulness of his tales in the fu-
ture.
