Frewen is brother-in-law of Lady
Randolph Churchill. and a man OF
large business affairs While in this

shad eggs shipped will be used, it is
said, to stock the river Shannon.

real angler aims always to capture his
fish with tackle as light as possible.
With many fish, however, lightness of
tackle is necessary only from ethical
considerations. They would strike at
clumsy rigs clumsily offered. The sal
mon is ideal because he is too shy
and too crafty to take hold of any
tackle that is not gossamer. No heav-
ing of anchor-lile hooks and lines
will find him; no stiff club of fish
pole" will hold him; no wild chowder
party fisherman can get within reach
Of him. He is gentleman and king,
and who wishes his acquaintance must
be that real and true gentleman-a
real and true angler.
You cannot catch" a salmon. You
might as well talk of catching"
wild duck or "bagging" a lion. TO get
him you must fight him and kill him.
And IL you essay to fight that glorious
fish you must be in trim to fight for
your life; your muscles must be those
of an athlete; your motions must be
those of an Indian; your tread must be
as light as that of deer when it
stalks to the waterside to drink your
eye must be as swift as the light that
glances from the salmons silver side;
your wrist must be as supple as the
best greenheart that ever grew, as
delicate as a woman's and as tireless
as steel.
The salmon is the fly casters fish,
and his alone. Trout may be and are
taken with bait Black bass bite at
the trolled or skittered spoon or live
bait The salmon disdains it. 1t is
true that on some parts of the Pacific
and east Atlantic coasts he may be
taken with a trolling spoon, but that
is in sea waters where there is no sal
mon angling properly so-called. Kip
ling was caught in a mistake not long
ago concerning this Pacific coast fish
ing when he told of catching one of
the big sea run fish in British Colum-
bia with a fly. There was a storm
OF protest at once, and he had to take
It back and admit that though he had
used fly it was not cast, but sunken
in the water, and that it had a spoon
attached to il. No salmon angler
would so angle for his noble quarry.
The ideal salmon angling of this
hemisphere is in Canada, but the ideal
salmon angling of all the world is in
Ireland and Scotland. There the sport
has been national institution for
centuries. Parliament busies itself
annually with grave laws designed to
preserve it and improve it, Vast
country seats are maintained almost
wholly for its sake in many cases. Ad-
vertisements Of angling privileges or
OF salmon rights" for sale or to lease
are as common almost as advertise
Inents OF houses TO let or to sell. Men

What Worried Him =.

In his later years, although his in
tellect was unimpaired, Thaddeous
Stevens was physically SO infrmed
that in journeying back and forth
between his hotel and the House OF
Representatives he used two sturdy
young negro men to carry him in a
chair built on the Sedan pattern,
says the Philadelphia Times.
Snow, sleet and frost had made
the trip rougher than usual one
morning, and the old statesman was
jostled rather uncomfortably. he
bore it all without complaint until
the bearers set him down inside the
corridor. As he was assisted from
the chair, he said:
Thank you, boys-thank you! I
often wonder how I'll make out when
you two die.''
