TRANSPLANT FISH IN LAKES.

Experiments in Wisconsin-Canvas-
backs Driven Away by Carp.
The Wisconsin Fish Commission
has experimental largely in the mat
ter of transportation and while it's
work has been highly valuable it has
met with many failures, particularly
in the way of Pacific Slope trout,
both of the ordinary and steelhead
varieties. Rainbows have been
brought over, Dolly Vardens, the
Mount Shasta trout, which, in it's
native water is a very vicious steel
head indeed, Montana trout and other
sorts of salmonidR, but nothing has
been put into Wisconsin water yet
which is as good as the native brook
trout
Moreover the state has many anna
teur pisciculturists who put fish into
the water with beneficial intent and
leave other folk to have trouble with
them. Some of them are in the class
with men who brought English spar
rows to this country, the San Jose
scale, the Russian thistle and such
things.
Some time ago one of these we'll
meaning persons put a lot of German
carp into Lake Koshkonong Kosh-
konong five years ago was the great
est inland water for canvasback ducks
in the world, since it was matted
with wild celery and the big fellows
came to it from a thousand miles
affair."
The carp have eaten all of the
celery, as well as forty million tons
of mud, and loaf about, rotund, sleepy,
happy and worthless, but there are
no canvasbacks.

EPITAPH ON MEXICAN TOMB
Neatly Worded EuIogy Over Grave of
Notorious Outlaw.


Notorious Outlaw.
Mexicans are fond of epitaphs, they
rejoice in eulogies, they like to honor
their dead. Their attachment for
relatives is great, and monuments and
f1ower-strewn graves show that the
departed are not forgotten. The de-
ceased may have left a bad record,
end his friends may be anxio1s that
his conduct should be forgotten; still
this does not debar him from a neatly
worded eulogy.
Cruz there stands a. fine monument
which marks the resting place of a
notorious outlaw, whose cruelty and
violence made his name a constant
menace to all peace and order. His
wife, in spite of harsh treatment, was
his faithful servant to the last, and
after his death thought that she
should show her respect for his mem
DRY.
She could not speak of his nobility
and worth, and SO, after much con-
sideration, she caused the following
inscription to be engraved upon the
tomb:
Juan Fernandez has passed to his
reward; he was an unerring shot and
knew no fear; owing to circumstances
over which he had no control his tai
ents were perverted from their prop
er course, but the world should be
grateful for his life, as his examp- e
stands. as a timely warning to the ris-
ing generation"

Played Joke on Kitchener.

Years ago Kitchener was in com
mand of raw Arab troops at Korosko,
on the Nile. There with a few other
English officers he schooled in civil
lied warfare Sheik Arnold and his
wild tribesmen throughout the long
summer months And during the
schooling some one put up joke
upon the Arab chieftain and taught
him and all his men to heave a harm
less and unwilling insult at their dis
tinguished leader. The whole band,
yelling wildly, used to dash down to-
ward the Nile bank, on which was
Kitchener's tent, and hating sudden
ly used to salute in these words i:
Kitchener damfool. Kitchener muf-
fin man" 1t was harmless imbecil-
ity, and its object was as much
amused by it as any one, though, of
course. the salute had to be altered.

Goose with Arrow in Breast.

An Esquimaux arrow of walrus
ivory, found imbedded deep in the
breast of Canadian gray goose, is on
exhibition in a gun store at Spokane.
The goose was shot few days ago by
John Cochran near Liberty Lake. As
he picked up the big honker, weigh
ing fourteen pounds, he was surprised
to see little piece of ivory sticking
from it's breast for two inches.
With difficulty he pulled it out, for
the flesh had grown around the arrow
Then he saw that it was an arrow
eight inches long and about as thick
as lead pencil The carvings on
the stem where it was tied to the ar
row stick are still visible
No arrow of the sort was ever seen
here before The bird evidently car
ried it thousands upon thousands of
miles from the far north, where it
was shot by some Esquimaux--Spo-
