FINEST TROUT IN THE WORLD

The finest trout In the world, says
DR.. Barton w. Evermann Of the bu'
eau of fisheries, is to be found in q
little stream Of the high Sierras in
southern California called Volcano
creek. The trout is named the golden
trout" and In beauty Of coloring
gameness and .delicacy Of flavor it has
no equal.
So far as is known, It exists. only
in this stream, which is about 20
miles in length. President Roosevelt
recently called attention Of the bureau
of fisheries to this unique specimen,
with the result that DR.. Evermann was
sent to California to study it's habits
and environment and to see whether
1t might not be introduced elsewhere.
He reports that the trout is in dan
ger of determination and that fishing
In the stream must be prohibited by
the state of California for three years
II the trout is to be saved. DR.. Ever
mann has also recommended that the
bureau of fisheries undertake the ar
propagation of the trout and

Generous to American Farmers.

Secretary Wilson says it would re.
Quire an investment of $3.50, 900, 900 at
two per cent. to produce revenues
enough to run the department of agri-
culture for n year. This is an illus
t%ration, he said, of what is being done
for the farmer. The income of the de-
partment is a little more than Sill

inspection law, the work of extermi-
mating the cattle fever tick and the
gypsy and b~rown-tailed moth and the
investigation of dry land farming have

fists, trained along special lines. The
average salary is less than 5000 a year.
Over II, 200. 900 pieces of literature are

ANYTHING FOR FILTHY LUcRE
Writer'S Cynical justification Of Mean
Piece Of Work.

A certain gifted writer of whom II
was once said that he wouldn't recog.
nize his wife IL he met her on the
street wrote a charming love story
not SO long ago, and 1t was printed in
q popular magazine. His friends and
all those of the circle in which the
author moved recognized the story as
an exact and recent transcript from
the life of the writer, involving a very
beautiful young woman, also well
known in the same set. One man,
coming across the author, took him to
task for 1t.
- What in the world did you write
up that affair with Miss Blank fort"
he demanded.
The author looked at him unmoved
and with the same exquisite calm and
clearness that characterized his work,
replied:

People Like the Cities.

Large cities grow larger at a tre'
rural communities are steadily drained
OF their population to feed the towns.
In no part of the United States Is this
GENERALIZATION proceeding more rapid
ly b in the great agricultural states
OF the west. Census bureau figures
show that during the past five years
A out Of los counties in Kansas
showed a loss Of population. In Iowa,
all but % of the 80 counties Of the
state have now fewer inhabitants than
they contained in 1900. In Pennsyl.
vania the growth of Philadelphia has
been much more rapid than the
growth of the rural portion of the
state. 1t is often wondered who lives
in all the new houses that are built in
this city, says the Philadelphia Press.
Dwellings are going up at the rate of
owe 1000 a month. The natural
growth of the city would fill some of
these new houses, but not all of them.
1t requires the steady stream of rural
population that is constantly flowing
IN this direction. Why do they come:
The freer and gave life attracts
many. The hopes of a larger field for
the development of their ambitions
lures others. Perhaps motives less
honorable than any of these impel still
more to seek s~eclusion in "the wilder.
ness OF streets" The best and the
worst undoubtedly corse. AS a result
OF the immense growth of the cities,
the problem CT governing them prop
erly and of making them beautiful and
attractive is steadily increasing in i'm.
portance. 1t has come to be true that
the biggest questions in government
are local.

THIEvlNo SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF
Robins successfully Defend Nest
Against Marauder.

"A pair Of robins proved too much
FOR . marauding squirrel in Independ-
ence square yesterday. While on q
midair cruise he suddenly stopped as
though something special had attract
Cd his attention, and then he came
down the tree in . slow, u~nconcerned
tanner. The secret was out when
he shyly began the ascent of another
oak, in the branches of which . pair
Of the redbreasts had built their nest.
His little eyes g~listening and his
whole that of q thief, he
moved up the tree trunk, and had al
most reached the little blue eggs In
the nest when the mother bird and
her mate saw him and few down from
their upper perch. They were on Mr..
Squirrel in an instant, and the fur
new when their beaks got into action.
The retreat Of the squirrel was quick
ly effected. The watchers were
amused. Then a second time the rob-
Dor advanced, and was 30 successful
~ to get n Of the eggs in his paws
before the birds came to the rescue.
The squirrel vas n%onplussed, as he
couldn't back down with the egg with
the birds pecking him, and he was
loath to r%elinquish his hard-won prize.
His hesitation was fatal, though. as
the birds, with a concerted rush, fair
ly showed him out of the nest, and the
robins followed him SO quickly and
furiously that the egg was dropped
and smashed on the ground. The
squirrel then gave up his purloining

Frank Mullins, a well-known farmer
OF Beaverton, Copiah county, met death
at the hands of his ~1O-year-old son. 1t
seems that Mullins began to whip one
of the smaller children, when his wife
interfered by trying to take the child
away from him. This threw Mullins
into a passion, and he struck Mrs. Null
Inns with a bride. The little 1O-year-
old son, on seeing his mother struck
by his father, ran after a pistol and
fired the weapon. The shot struck
Mullins on the left side and passed en-
tirely through his body, killing him
instantly.
