The Way Big Trout Was Landed by
Bavarian Angler.

One late afternoon the big head
forester appeared on the Bavarian
stream where l was fishing. He
carried huge bamboo pole in one
hand and a little tin pail in the 9TH
er. For a little while he stood,
watching me land one or two good
fish. Then a peculiarly polite ex-
preston came over his face, and he
begged to know if it would incon-
venience me if he fshed.
''No, indeed" l said quickly.
"Where are you going to begin?"
There" he replied, pointing to
an incline over which the water
rushed like lightning.
"You can't catch fish there" l
said, for l did not believe it posi-
bic that fish could maintain itself
in such an avalanche of water or
that he could keep his bait from be-
ing swept to the bottom of the
chute.
However, he tied on a chunk of
lead, hooked live minnow to the
end of the rope which served as a
line and hurled bait and sinker into
the foam. The sinker was carried a
few yards down the incline and final
ly stuck among the stones.
''Now the gracious gentleman
shall see what he shall see," observ,
ed the head forester, and the next
moment, to my horror, he lifted
bodily from the torrent a huge
trout. The fish fell on the stones
bouncing like a football. The for
ester calmly gave it the coup DE-
grace and lifted it on my poke
scales-fve pounds less an ounce
and twenty-one inches long.
To see a noble trout of that sizO
jerked from the element with
young tree for a pole and cable TO
a line is peculiarly painful to an,
angler. But | said nothing. Th
good forester would not have under
stood. One thing, however, was Ger
tain-no trout of that size had eve
even winked his eye at any fly ha'
thrown on the pools Of the Re-
Valepp. Let the reader draw hi
own conclusions and point his owl
morals, if he has any.-Harper'

A Snake Huntinu Doo.

Lulu, who was my constant COM
panion for about six weeks two
years ago in Florida, was cross
between the fox terrier and pug.
She would hunt for and find snakes
much as a good setter would find
quail. She killed all she found till,
much to the disgust of my friends,
who owned chickens, l told her she
mustn't. l have the skin of six
foot chicken snake which she de-
tanned for me till l took it with a
forked stick. She one day, at my
command, held at bay, by barking,
a nine foot king snake for about
half an hour till l had studied it
all | wished and called her off.
Much to my regret, l learned that
she was afterward bitten by rat
tier and died.-Forest and Stream.

Knocks American Soldiery.

The leading conservative Russian
newspaper, Neue Preussische Kreuz
Zeitung, prints what it calls the
expose of the claim of the United
States to be the great naval power.
The article asserts that the American
army is rotten" and that ten per
cent of the soldiers deserted during
1904. The army is made up of mis-
cradle material and the Russian army
is superior to it. The Americans are
patriotic with their mouths only.
They are not willing to become SOL
diers and they despise soldiers as a
class. The United States possesses
sufficient wealth to build a hundred
new battleships, but it is impossible
TO man them, as neither officers nor
men exist. The American navy, it is
asserted, will not bear close inspec-
ton.

One on the Sitka Newsboy.

Some time ago there was a good
thing upon our newsboy, Clifford.

Indian. Upon being questioned as

that the Indian had run against him
and said, "What's the matter =
Cliff said, "When, Yesterday" With

He Smokes.

he smokes.
In the Office, In the parlor,
In the faces of the passers,
On the sidewalk, on the street,
Ia the eyes of those he meets,
In the vestibule. the depot,
At the theatre or ball;
Fen at funerals and weddings,
And at christenings and all.
Signs may threaten, men may warn him,
Babies cry and women coax;
But he cares not one tote,
For he calmly smokes and smokes.
On, he cares not whom he strangles,
vexes, puts to flight, provokes;
And although they squirm and fidget,
He just smokes and smokes and smokes.
Not place is sacred to him;
Churchyards, where the flowers bloom
Gardens, drives, in fact the world is
Just one mighty smoking room;
And when once he quits this mundane
sphere,
And takes his outward flight
From the world he made hades,
Day he's turned to murky night.
When he reaches his destination.
Finds tits not dream or hoax.
And the Judge deals out his sentence,
Then I'll wager that ha smokes.

able to repay it ?" asked the friend,
