FISHING is NOT COSTLY.
Sportsmen Here and In Canada May
Angle for Salmon Cheaply.

sportsmen Here and in Canada May
Angle for Salmon Cheaply.
In England salmon fishing is one OF
the most costly of sports, and even
here it is the popular belief that the
sport is of necessity one for the rich
alone, no man of even moderate means
presuming so much as to think OF in
dulging in it. In the British Isles
and other parts of northern Europe
this is undoubtedly true. Even in this
country and in Canada in the last rev
years the salmon waters have been
taken by clubs and individuals, so
that now the fishing is restricted to
the few; but Labrador and Newfound-
land are left free and moderately &C.
cessible to the fishing public living in
the eastern states. and improved trav-
cling facilities have made the trip to
Newfoundland a matter of ease, so
that the number of sportsmen visiting
that island is increasing enormously.
Fortunately the island is large
more than 300 miles each way-and
the rivers very numerous, so that 1t
will be some time before the country
is crowded. Thus far only a very
few of the most accessible rivers have
been fished in at all. Along the east
coast and the northern peninsula are
many rivers that have never known
a fisherman. At the present time
these are rather difficult Of access by
land it is true, but by chatering a
small vessel fishermen can, at mod
crate cost, visit the most remote OF
them and be sure Of almost unlimited
salmon.

p.troIeum Fields Still Prolific.

The statistics used to show that the
Russian petroleum fields are becom-
ing exhausted are misleading. During
last year strike stopped production
for twenty days, and a fire ragged
about the five "gushers" and sixty-two
pump wells of the Bibi-Eitab district
for five weeks. These fire and strike
losses, estimated at 100000 barrels,
would bring the production to 1885,
800 barrels for the year, which
amount is almost that for 1902. and is
slightly in excess of the American
production.

The old salts are laughing at Sena-

turning over like turtle. What he
meant to say was turning turtle-a
very different thing from turning over
like a turtle, inasmuch as turtles do

senses OF the Rentile.

An Austrian doctor has lately pub
lished the results of his observations
upon the special senses OF animals,
especially upon the sense Of reptiles.
He concludes that these are capable Of
going directly towards water, which
appears to attract them, even at long
distances. Light acts upon them in
dependently Of heat. Their sight is
generally good, and is probably their
most acute sense, yet their vision is
limited. Crocodiles cannot distinguish
a man at distances above ten times
their length. Fish see for only short
distances. The vision Of serpents is
poor; the boa constructor, for example,
can see no further than one-third Of its
own length. Some snakes see no
further than one-eighth Of their own
length. Frogs are better endowed and
see twenty times their length.

The romonce began in Omaha fifteen
years ago, when Clarence Thurston
and Nellie Cotter went to kindergar-
ten together.
The children grew up together and
their love for each other became fond
er with the passing years. The fact
that his father was general solicitor
for the Union Pacific and her father
was a switchman In it's service was
nothing to him when they were chill
dren. And then when the opportunity
came he took her to be his wife.
When John NJ. Thurston was elected
to the United States Senate and went

the capital he met many beautiful
women from all parts of the world, but
his heart remained true and faithful
to the Omaha girl.

The teacher pointed out her mis-

Her PRAYER

Gladys had lost two front teeth,
says Lippincott's. She had been told
that God would give her some new
ones. She was to take part in the
Easter exercises at Sunday school. In
spite Of all wishing, however, the teeth
refused to put in on appearance, and
Easter was at hand.
One night Gladys mother heard her
talking after she had put her to bed.
she went back and saw her kneeling
beside her bed in the moonlight.
oh, God,' she was saying, IF you
haven't got my new teeth done, won't
you please drop my old ones down
again till after Eastern"

Reduce Prices.
Des Moines, Iowa, April 5. - Iowa
miners are secretly organizing CO.
operative coal company with a capital
stock of $4,000 and will open coal
yards at Des Moines and elsewhere.
The object of the organization is to
reduce the price of coal recently ad
vanced by the operators. They say
the operators were prompted to shut
down because they saw chance to
advance the price of coal under pre-
text that the commodity was scarce.
Both sides are as far apart as they
