The "Gre.t American Novel"

Hall Caine, the popular English nov
elist. promptly disavowed the ambi
ton attributed to him of wishing I'd
put American millionaires into a novel
He said:
l do not feel able TO attempt such an
undertaking. l do not know American
millionaires well enough. and so your
Rockefellers are in no danger, American
authors are better qualified for the UNI
dertaking. II is not for me to attempt 10

novel. There is nothing l would like bet

SHOWS 50 well that he can't do II as l.
Mr.. Cainc further declared that
America is The proper scene for novel
Of that character because It ''is the
country that best typites those condi-

Catering to Appetite.

The common notion that whatever
the appetite desires ID .he proper food
for the system is attacked in the Octo-
Der Century by r. 81. Chlttenden,
whose theme is economy In food. He
says:
The % called cravings OF appetite ara
purely the result OF habit. A habit opce
acquired and pcrsistently followed soon
has us In Its grasp and then any devia-
ticn thercfrom temporarily disturbs our
Psychological equilibrium. The aystcm
makes complaint. and We experience .
craving. Il may be. for that to which the
body has become accustomed. even though
this something be In the long run distinct-
" injurious to the welfare OF the body.

No Compromise With Robbers.

The American Bankers associa ton
proposes TO put a stop to the practice
of allowing bank embezzlers TO set

Of the stolen funds and escaping Grim

change. and the fact that it is needed
shows that rascals have been allowed
to escape and that perhaps without

The new rule establishes the idea
that it is more important TO enforce

There are but few evidences of hu-

one looks down into IL from the crest

the same today as 1t was to the Indian

is in strong contrast with the picture

THE FISHING SEASON
WILL SOON BE HERE

The fishing season in Colorado will
open the first of next month and the
devotees of rod and reel are already
an excursion to the fishing streams of
the state. as the law will permit their
indulgence in piscatorial sport
The indications are favorable for
good fishing in Beaver Creek during
the first two or three weeks in June
and many Canon people will. no doubt,
try their luck along its banks by
dangling the artificial fly in the favor
ite retreats OF the "speckled beauties" {"
For several years the authorities have
liberated large numbers Of trout fry
in Beaver Creek. as only in this way
could the finny denizens OF its waters
have been maintained The great num-
Der of sportsmen who annually whip
its pools would long ago have rem
dered it a troutless stream. except for
the wisdom of the game warden in re-
newing the supply of fish from the
hatcheries at Gunnison and Leadville.
The Beaver is an ideal trout stream
and II would be lasting disgrace II
the people of Fremont and Teller
counties permitted illegal fishing in its
waters. II is understood that $4,000
trout fry will be turned loose in Bea-
yer within the next few weeks under
the direction of Deputy Game and Fish
Warden Givens of Florence.
There is every prospect that the
trout fishing in the Gunnison river and
its tributaries will be exceptionally
good this season and many Canon peo-
pie are planning to spend week or
two of the heated term camping and
fishing on the Tomeche and the Gun
nison. The liberal policy of the state
and the railroad companies in keeping
the trout streams along the western
slope stocked with Ash is above all
praise and commendation and must
annually attract many hundreds Of
people to Colorado for the summer
months.
