sMoTHERINc THE RECORD.

We noticed some days ago that
the Treasury Department of the
Washington, D. G. Government,
United States of America, refused
to turn over the files of its office to
the Editor of the Boise Statesman,
who had made formal demand for
the papers in the case of Cobb VS..
Woolley. Of course the Treasury
Department could not be expected
to furnish it's records to every dis
gruntled editor who might ask for
them. But no rule, applicable to
general conditions, should apply
against the Editor of the Statesman.
1t seems to us that his authority is
coordinate with that of the Senate
OF the United States, and when
President Roosevelt, through petty
subordinate, refused to comply with
the demands of the Editor of the
Statesman, he committed an offense
amounting to an invasion of Sena-
tor1al rights, The President, clear
ly, did not appreciate the gravity
ot~the situation. The Editor of the
Statesman had formally charged
that Senator Hepburn had made a
monkey of the President of the
United States, and alleged that he
could prove it out of the mouth of
the record in the Treasury Depart
ment. If the President had been
dingtoodled by wiley Senator; he
ought TO jump at the chance of hav-
ing it proved on him. A man who
is so conceited as not to avail him
self of every opportunity of having
himself exhibited as a dupe is un-
worthy to be President of a great
and enlightened Republic.
Ofcourse no mortal can under
stand what the Statesman editor
could prove with the record that he
could not just as we'll prove without
it. But the ways of the Statesman
are too deep for mortal understand
1ng' so we take it for granted that
IT only the Statesman editor could
have secured the record, things
startling and horrible would be dis
closed. 1t has been limited that the
record would show that Hepburn
was elected by church influence:
that French was in love with the
niece of Mormon Bishop; that
Goodlng was scheming to be gov
ernor of the PHILIPPINES; that Stand
rod was planning to be appointed
Minister to St. James, and that
Woolley didn't know ping pong

TROUT FOUGHT LIKE BULL DOGS.

TROUT FOUGHT LIKE BULL DOGS.
 Perhaps among trout the unusual and unexpected occurs more often than among any of the more familiar crea- lures. shall never forget an eztraor- dinary affair that had the fortune to witness in a stream which empties into the Neversink river in Sullivan county
 The time was toward the middle of June the place was a long stretch of clear brown water, two feet in depth on an average, and so limped that every grain of sand was visible. A fly lightly dropped on the surface brought no re- sponsive flop of fish, yet had seen shadowy forms from afar shooting over the sand bottom as though stirred to more than passing interest by the fly. However, it was no use, so I walked up to the pool. And this is what was go- ing on under the water:
 Two male trout, weighing perhaps a scant quarter-pound apiece were racing up and down the pool, darting at each other with jaws agape, snapping, dodg- ing, turning like lightning to nip when an opening came. They paid no atten- tion to me as walked up in full view; and, moment later, they seized one an- other, locking jaws. Jaw fastened to jaw, head on. they struggled, shaking, Jerking, wrestling for mastery, crimson fins rigid, tails spread flat for resist ance. For more than ten minutes the tense quivering deadlock lasted; then exhaustion showed in dropping fins, in spasmodic efforts to right tired bodies which began to turn belly up.
 One trout showed strip of white along the nose where the skin was gone; the tendency to turn over appa- rently became more difficult to over come; they began to drift with the curl rent, slowly floating toward the sur- face. Then the writer waded in and without difficulty picked up the conba-i tant's and separated them, placing one at the head of the pool, the other at the foot.
 The two fish lay quietly on the sand, slowly recovering from exhaustion; then, as one turned to head up stream the other darted at him in ungoverra- ble fury; the chase was resumed, the lightning-like tactics of offense and de- gense: and, at length the writer Jeff

which has truly made America the land of the free and home of the brave. Nor can storm nor winter winds tear up the giant oak whose mighty branches are casting their protecting shadows over the earth. offering protection to the down-frodden of every cline and a re- fuge to all who are willing to emulate the principles Of Washington and Lin coln.
 Let us not be contented then until we see the stars and stripes floating from every building of our land on the birth days of those two beloved men, when the little children will understand the all men will be thoughtful enough to set aside other matters for brief time to properly celebrate these days.
 Permit me to add that we ought to be thankful to the noble women who have been instrumental in bringing about meetings of this kind.
 To them should be given the full measure of credit for the many times and many ways they have assisted in keeping patriotism alive and spurring men on to renewed activity for good. ''The greatest battles that e'er were
 fought,
 Can you tell me where or when On the map of the world we find them not;
 They were fought by the mothers of
 men.
 Not with cannon or battling shot;
 Nay, not with the sword or mightier
 pen,
 But deep in a walled-up woman's heart Of a woman that would not yield, But bravely. silently bore her part; ] So that is the battlefield;
 No marshaling array, no bivouac, no
 song;
 i For woman's battle it is so long,
 From the cradle down to the grave" :. Washington and Lincoln are resting peacefully i'll their silent graves, but their life's work still remains fresh be- fore the civilized world, and the part they played in the great drama of life will be guiding star for the ages to follow. By their devotion to their coun- try and it's peoples cause they success fully won their way through the world and into the hearts of men.

AN OLD TIMETABLE.
One of the First Issued by the Danbury
 and Norwalk Railroad.

One of the First Issued by the Danbury
 and Norwalk Railroad.
 L. P. Treadwell recently found among some old papers one of the first time tables issued by the Danbury and Nor walk railroad. It is dated April, 1852, and shows that there were two trains leaving Danbury for South Norwalk each day, and two arriving here from that place.
 A man going to New York in the morning had to arise early or take some other means of getting to the metropo- lis than the steam cars, for the morning train left here at six o'clock, reaching South Norwalk an hour and fifteen minutes later. The next and last train left at 2:3O and did not get to South Norwalk until 4.35. A train left South Norwalk at 9:15 and reached Danbury lat 11:20. and another left South Nor walk at 5:s0 and was due at GAS.
 On the back of the table is print ed list of instructions to employees, one of which was to the effect that en- gineers should not move their trains over switches at speed exceeding six miles an hour
 Another rule of the road was., that either station agent or some one in his employ should stand at each switch and exhibit a light whenever 8 train passed over the road at night. Switches were few in those days.
 The instructions were signed by liar vey Smith, engineer and superintendent. -Danburv News.

BIRDS IN WINTER.

Presence of Woodcock and Bluebirds in
 Connecticut in February. 1sO4 Doubt
 ed.
 So many lists of birds seen in Con- necticut or neighboring states this win ter have been printed, all mentioning robins, and most of them bluebirds, that it is becoming necessary to revise some old opinions. or question the authority of the lists. The latest contribution is the record of the local Bird club as printed in the South Norwalk Sentinel. It contains the names of more than for ty birds, most of which, of course, are such as are known to winter here, but it includes also the woodcock. robins and bluebirds. As to the robins it is noted that they have been seen every week during the Winter. But it would be desirable to have more particular in formation as to the bluebirds and espe- cially as to the woodcock How a woodcock subsists unless he finds plen- ty of unfrozen earth which is so warm that the worms have not gone down be- yond the reach of his bill is puzzle. If llC AiuS SuCli d pfdEC III lllG VlEllllly sOA South Norwalk itvwould be interesting to know about it.
 These printed lists should certainly be accompanied by more detail as to dates and the circumstances under which the observations were made People, especially amateur observers, sometimes believe they recognize a bird when people more familiar with the subject would confess to a doubt If 1 some of the birds we have heard of this year as winteriflg commonly ali about have been really identified, the old rec 1 ords of trained students are shown to be singularly at fault, or there has been 1 a great change in the habits of the birds
 I This question is raised in no carping spirit. It may be that there has been a l change, it may be that older observers assumed a migration to be universal leven when 1t was only general, or it may be that the later observers have 1 been careless or imperfectly informd. l If any recognized ornithologist has per- sonal knowledge of woodcock in Con- necticut last month or this month, for instance, his friends should get him to
 publish the fact over his own name,
 and give tho details of the case.-Hart- l ford Times

 Never before, never since, have seen such battle between trout.

Boxing Is a grand sport. In fact, |
