Today marks the close of the
trout season for 1902. This has
been very poor season hereabouts.
The chief causes have been muddy
streams, and a scarcity Of the fish.
For two or three days, at the begin
ming of the season, the weather
and water conditions were good
but Our sports put off going after
trout, thinking there would be
time abundant on which to try
their luck. In this they were dis
appointed. The streams by reason
of the frequent rains have been
continuously riled, and very little
fishing has been possible. In view
of the very few taken from the
streams this season, it is only
natural to expect them to be more
plentiful next season.

ladies' present 10 enjoy the address by
Rev Alexander Mckenzie. -. d., OF Cam
bridge, Mass, who spoke earlier in tho
day 10 the Brown university students at
tho regular vesper service
Mr.. McKenzie's topic last evening was
Imagination" and he brought it out in
all Of its relations and phases. Ho said
IA part: Il do not encourage copy; il
Is not art. one should use his own imagi-
nation and make his work original. There
is much In art TO be left 20 the imagiua-
tion and that helps 20 make g. what y is.
An artist makes barn and the SAME ar
tist makes pictures OF angels and IL is
his imagination which enables him 70
do a.
Imagination helps 20 make life pleas
ant. and IL should do so. for with tho
aid OF Imagination we are able TO see all
sorts Of things In pleasanter way than
we otherwise could: we are able 10 make
tutin lpph more DeduHiul. III PLAYS a
most important part I'm science. for with
out IL, though there be many men who
can learn the scientific rules, only those
who haze imaginations can make use Of
what they know and deduce new laws and
discover new ways OF operating the old
ones. Any man can 50 mix his fluids
by fixed rules that they shall produce
red, blue or yellow shades. but there is
none who does not possess a sense Of
imagination who can see beyond the for
mula and in his minds eye discover the
result OF certain combinations Of what
they have produced.
Let us consider the Bible also, and we
will find repeated instances of the value
OF an imaginative power. for there is no
place that offers such a scope for the
imagination az does this one book the
Bible. lt is filled with passages which
without the use OF such a power would
be dry and wholly out OF our reason"
Mr.. Mckenzie then pointed out a large
number Of specific instances OF where the
imagination was OF especial value TO as
in our home business and religious life.
After the close of the address Mr.. Brown
made few remarks, following which the
meeting adjourned TO the lower han Of
the building. where a supper was served,
and during which an orchestra from
Reeves American band played popular
airs.
