THERE WILL BE
PLENTY OF TROUT

The trout season in this state will
open on Friday, April 10, and con
tinue until July 81. Already many
followers of Izaak Walton are getting
their rods. reels, etc, in condition tor
a good season of angling. The style
of rod, as we'll as the season of bait,
must be taken into consideration. a
fisherman in conversation with re-
porter said:
"rhe report that there would be a
scarcity of trout in the various streams
owing to the cold weather, is all non.
sense. When severe cold weather sets
in trout hunt the mouth of the stream
or the springs where they spawn,
especially about the beginning OF Jan
uarv. So far as / know very few trout
are killed by the ice, because they get
out Of harms way | believe there
will be plenty of brook trout this
year.
Fish that almost surely go into re-
tirement during winter are the little
fish of the brooks of the club genus,
which in late May or June are the
familiar bane of the fisher when he
whips the front streams. These cOEl-
mon inhabitants of the brooks more
closely studied reveal TO the angler in-
teresting habits. Most abundant III
August, they begin to disappear with
the first frosts Of September. October
shows few thin schools, which in
November pass from sight. If in win
ter we go to one of the larger pools of
the brook, clear away the ice, and in
dustriously prod under rocks or in the
muddy sand, we shall dislodge a few
sluggish chubs, evidently alternating.
lone by one they begin to appear II
mid April, multiplying as the water
warns. In summer, unlike the trout
and suckers, which seek the spring
like holes, we shall find the club in
the still shadows, where they can bask
in the sun-a habit curiously at vari-
ance with their quick death when the
sun warns tine water in the bait pail.

MARVELS OF MEMORY.
Fsats of Famous Men That Seem Al
most Beyond Belief.

most Beyond Belief.
Some examples of the marvels Of
memory would seem entirely incredible
had they not been given to us upon
the highest authority. Cyrus knew the
name of each soldier in his army 1t is
also related of Themistocles that he
could tell by name every citizen Of
Athens, although the number amount
ed to 10000 Mithridates, king Of Pom
tus, knew all his 10000 soldiers by
their right names.
Sciplo knew all the inhabitants OF
Rome. Seneca complained of old age
because he could not, as formerly, re
peat 1000 names in the order in which
they were read to him, and he stated
that on one occasion, when at his
studies, 200 uncOnnected verses having
been recited by the different pupils of
his preceptor, he repeated them in a
reverse order, proceeding from the last
to the first.
Thomas Cranmer committed to mem
ory in three months an entire transla-
ton OF the Bible. Euler, the mathema-
tician, could repeat the "Eneid," and
Leibnitz, when an old man, could re-
cite the whole Of Virgil, word for word.
II is said that Bossuet could repeat not
only the whole Bible, but all of Homer,
Virgil and Horace, besides many other
works

Farmers Bad Fall.

T. NJ. Wintersteen, tax receiver of
West Hemlock township, met with a
bad fall in this city on Saturday fore
noon. Carrying a couple of large yes
sells he was crossing Mill street from
Foster Bros to d. r. Eckman's and
was in the act of stepping up onto the
pavement when his foot caught upon
the curb and he fell violently upon the
hard fagstones
He was stunned by the fall and un-
able TO rise. Officer Voris who was
near ran to his assistance and soon
had him upon his feet. In a short time
he seemed to recover, escaping broken
bones. He sustained couple of bad
bruises, however, and may feel the
effects of the jar for some time.

SAND CRUSHED
OUT LADS LIFE

Buried beneath an avalanche or tul-
ly ten tons of sand for more than If
teen minutes, Albert Buckler, of
Bloomsbury, lad nine years of age
met death in horrible form, while
playing with his elder brother and a
number of companions in the old sand
hole on West Fourth street, Tuesday
evening
1t was about half-past six O'Clock
and not yet dark when the accident
occurred. A number of children had
been playing for some time about the
sand hole and had in their play dug a
small cave at the base of the wall of
sand, which rose vertically for almost
twenty feet.
This small cavern which was just
about large enough at the opening to
admit mans body extended back in
to the wall not more than three feet.
None of the children had ventured
to enter the opening but finally little
Albert Buckler attempted to crawl in
to it. His older brother, James Buck
Ter, aged eleven years, eudeavoIed to
persuade him not to enter the cave
but the younger brother never realiz,
ing his great peril entered the cavern
feet first and lay there on his back,
only his head and shoulder pro.ruding
from the opening.
Fearing that the heavy wall Of sand
would fall, James, on the outside, kept
hold of one of his brothers hands.
LET 90, it's nice in here, and AL
bert tried to free his hand from his
brothers. grasp.
Come out right away, the sand
might fall" James said as he at
tempted to pull the boy out Of the
hole when suddenly the lad III the
cave kicked up against the roof and
without warning, an enormous mas:
of sand broke loose from above anc
rushing down completely engulfed the
one boy in the cave and covered James
extended arm to the shoulder.
When the sand broke loose Albert
realizing for the first his jeOpardous
position called to his brother to pull
him out, struggled to get free OF the
falling sand and fighting it with hi:
arms turned over upon his stomach.
After being almost covered by the
sand James was compelled TO relin
quish bis hold upon his brothers. hanC
in order to save himself and as soon a.
the sand ceased falling he began tc
vainly dig with his hands to free his
brother. The other children being
frightened. ran away. excepting Luther
Shoemaker, who spread the alarm.
Within a few minutes number o.
men, procuring shovels, came and be-
gan working frenzily to uncover the
imprisoned boy. But almost as fast a!
they shovelled away the sand, more
fell and the boy could not be found
Finally after great labor he was un
covered. Lying on his face with the
sand tightly packed about his body il
was thought that he was still living
but when he was drawn from the mas
it was found that he was dead.
The body was carried into the home
of Mrs. Robert Unson where an ex
animation was made by DR.. II. Bier
man, who had been summoned shortly
after the accident occurred. DeatI
was due to suffocation.
The Buckler family resided in Dan
willie on East Market street about tive
years removing from this place tC

THE GYPSIES.
Their Tribes Existed In Europe
From Imme mortal Times.

In
From Imme mortal Times.
Gypsies were found in England about
1914, according to "A Dialogue of Sir
Thomas More" Q529), but the exact
year of their arrival is unknown They
were present in Scotland in 1905, and
possibly they were the "Saracens'
whose depredations in that country
prior to 1860 are on record.
Batailard and other authors believe
that gypsies existed in Europe from
immemorial times, for they find no ac-
count OF their crossing the BOsporus,
and no record is known to exist Of their
passage to England or Scotland.
They were better received in these
countries than in any other, but 50
early as 1881 an act was passed re
Quiring the Egyptians to quit the
realm under pain of death, a similar
edict being issued in Scotland in 1j4l
and at varying periods in most of the
European states
Transportation across the seas was
among the milder means adopted and
probably was the cause of much fur
ther dispersion Of the tribes Under
Henry VIII. gypsies were shipped from
England to Norway or France, and
from France, so recently as 1902, they
were deported to Africa.
