salmon in the Lakes.

"A new era @in Great lakes fishing
was marked recently, when from the
nets of Gamash, Smith & Co., OF Wau'
kegan. was taken a ten-pound fresh
water salmon. Several years ago tho
United States government planted a
number of young salmon in lake
Michigan. The fish were not caught
later. but it was thought that the
waters of the lake were not favorable
to their growth. This year, however,
they began to show up, and at Wau-
kegan rs or 80 have been taken
ranging from three to four pounds.
These have been replaced. but the
big one has been kept, and a report
to Washington will be made.-Mil-

COMMERCE OF ARGENTINA.
Exceeds That of Japan, Though Pop
ulation Is Only one-Eighth
as Great.

The Argentine republic. as II Is com
monty called. Is to-day one of the most
prosperous and progressive countries
Its foreign commerce for 1904 reached
the immense total Of 451.463, 900 in gold
This was greater than that of any
other Latin nation. not excepting Mex.
leo and Brazil. II exceeded the foreign
trade of Japan, of whose marvellous
progress we now hear so much. and II
went far beyond that OF China. con
corning which there is general discus
sion. In other words. Argentina, with
only 5000, 900 people, showed a buying
and selling capacity In excess OF Japan
with 10000. 600 people. and China, With
400, 000. 900! My comparison is no re-
Election on these latter countries and.
| have always bec2 an earnest advo-
cate of the importance of our commer-
cial and political interests in the far
east, but these should not ovcrshadow
or hide what we have 1t stake in south
America.
That Argentina Is moving ahead
with %proverbial leaps and bounds Is
proved by the fact that her foreign
commerce, the best thermometers of a
country's prosperity, Increased 100000,
600 In 1904 over the total for 1903,
which was $500, O0O, 900. Estimating heI
population, as before stated, at 5.0Oo.-
900, she has in the present total OF her
$451, 463. 900 the remarkable average oi
nearly 500 per head, or a far greater
average than the United States o q any
of the principal European countries. II
this lusty young giant OF South AmoTt-
ca keeps progressing at this rate, Il
will be difficult to estimate her trade
and wealth when she has a population
of %. 000, 900. Unfortunately for the
United States. M trade exchange with
Argentina ranks fourth among foreign
countries. or after Great Britain. Ger

OF A sPRINTER
Nebraska Man Left the Shot from
His Gun in the
Rear.

Several of them were lined up In
front of the counter at the hotel, dis
cussing foot racers. After the sprint
ing qualities of world famous racers
had boon defended with much warmth
and everybody engaged in the discus
sion had reached the point where he
insisted upon backing his opinion with
a weeks income, they submitted the
whole question to Lynn Austin, who
used to be a famous sprinter in his
time, relates the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
well, I'll tell YOU" said Austin,
Isquaring off for the encounter with a
serious look. THE fastest runner |
ever saw in my life was a fellow at
Kearney, Neb. He used to run with
the hose company, sand he was certain
lily a prodigy. Did you ever hunt prairie
dogs? Well, a prairie dog has so much
speed that after you've landed a charge
of buckshot in his vitals he is carried
along by his own momentum and falls
Into his hole, for which reason no one
succeeded in capturing the carr
cass of the animal after shooting him.
This fellow down It Kearney, Neb..
was the only fellow that ever succeed
led in beating aprairie dog to his hole. r
What ever became of him?" said
one of the interested listeners.
We'll, I'll tell you. Me was out
hunting prairie dogs one May. He got
bead on a prairie dog, sent a charge
of buckshot after him andt then start
ed for the dog..Just as hgA was stoop-
ing to grab the dog the charAge of buck
shot caughtu up with him andNthe calves
of his legs were riddled wit IN shot. II
crippled him up pretty badz and =

GOOD WORD FOR SNAKES.
Original Observations of a Boston
Taxidermist Concerning
Reptiles.

1T lis a great mistake to say the
snake is OF M benefit to mankind"
said j. p. Siebert, a Boston taxidermist
recently, reports the New York Globe.
Snakes are a necessary evil. We once
went to great pains to kill off all the
aliigators and muskrats. When the al.
ligators were killed the muskrats null
tiplied tremendously, and being con.
cientiousy opposed to river embank-
ments, they undermined the walls, SO
that the river is frequently breaking
through and flooding the country. Ma.
ture knew that alligators were needed
to keep down the Inuskrats, but man
thought he knew better. Now he sees
his mistake.
1T is said that ST. Patrick cleared
all the snakes out of Ireland. Ii that
is SO Ireland has certainly not been
benefited. Even Irishmen themselves
admit that their country is to-day the
most miserable on earth. Ireland is
now full of pigs and there isn'a a single
snake. Now, l claim that no country
ever fourishes where snakes do not
bear a normal proportion to the Other
inhabitants. There are no snakes in
Iceland, and look at the miserable
state of the island. America is full OF
snakes and see the prosperity we are
enjoying.
Il do not say that the snake brings
prosperity wherever it goes, but | do
say that when the original balance be-
tween snakes and the rest Of the pop
ulation is disturbed in any given coun-
try, hat country is bound to be poor
and miserable"
