WITH HARNESSED RAT.
Vermontcr Innugurntcs New style of
Fishing in the West.
tFrom the Walker (Minn) Pilot)


Col. p. c. ]. Cheney, of Washington.
Vermont, won fame in Walker couple
of years ago by his phenomenal catch of
a 35-pound muscallonge.
Mr. Cheney is again in Walker and
has eclipsed his former record. The
story is told in a letter which he has
written to his nieccs, who accompanied
him on his former visit but are not with
him now to participate in the glory that
now casts a halo of fame about his di-
minutive form. The Pilot quotes form
Mr. Chcneys letter and leaves the rest
to the reader:
MY Trio Kindred, Appleton, MINI:
Much l wish your presence here, as you
We're two years ago last June. How glad
| would have been to have had you here
to enjoy the pleasure we have just pass
ed through 50 charming, so successful
in every detail Before coming here
again | had believed I had nearly known
all there was in our western hemisphere;
but not so. | had SPAWNED the streams,
the hills of our native Green mountains
State; rowed the Saranac rivers of the
Adrondacks. the woods of the Rangleys
lakes. climbed the sleeps of the Rockies
and gazed over their valleys, tapping
the waters of the Pacitic's calm.
Il had supposed | knew all; but not
so. I had to return back to Walker $
shores to complete my store of know
ledge. l determined, as you known, to
come here to beat my record of the
thrty-tive pound 'muskie' l captured two
years since. But how to do it became
the question. Listen and l will tell YOU.
Mr.. Chase, the present proprietor Of
the Hotel Chase formerly the Pameda),
glorious hotel in every respect, said,
AS you are victor | will allow you
to enter in and know the new way and
sure way to catch a muskie. If he is in
the lake You harness a rat take him
into the lake, hitch a hook to him and
let him 60. He will swim, never drown
and the muskie is certain to come for
him Sure enough We did so. Had
great time making and getting on the
harness. He gave me the first bite
got and looked awful wise when he saw
he had bled me. Chase showed no mercy
only laughed. | wish you could have
seen us, how ridiculous we looked. 40
pounds being towed around in Lecch lake
by rat!
We'll, in 10 minutes we had our mus
HE hooked and in 20 minutes shot and
in the boat dead. He weighed II pounds
on the scales; too large to express We
send you a kodak OF his head and to
Vermont for granite monument for the
rat, with the inscription of the words Of
Horace: 'Duce ct decorum est pro
patra mort ct is sweet and honorable
for ones country to die).
Your loving uncle,

Burlington banks are thoroughly up-to-
date, but they will probably admit that
they are behind the Kansas City inst-
ution, which advertises a stocking
room" as an nduce1nent for ladies to
patronize it. This apartment is said to
be called the stocking room" because it
is a place where a woman may 90 and
be alone while she takes from its So
cure hiding place the money she wishes
to deposit. The room is provided with
three mahogany stools, about twelve
inches in height with a leather cushion
a the top of each. for women to put their
feet on while they are taking out their
money. Most if not all, of Burlington's
banking institutions have small rooms TO
which depostors can retire but SO far as
we are informed these have not ili any
instance been named stocking rooms"

The life at Camp Mccullough during

week. should do the citizen soldiers Of

besides improving their efficiency in mill
tary matters. It brought together young
men from different parts of tho state
and impressed upon them that they were
the defenders Of the state against any
foes from without or lawlessness on
large scale from within 1t taught
them, too, that they owned allegiance
to the national government as well as
to their own state. The lessons of self
control. and obedience to orders from
legitimate authority were impressed up
on them. The abandonment Of every day
occupations for active outdoor life was
too. a healthy and wholesome change.
