matter to the attention of the United states
hsh commission with the result that soon we
may drop hook and line into almost any
stream OF the country and pull up a Roosevelt
Golden Trout, the ancestors of which years
before thought themselves to be marooned
forever in Volcano creek.
1t was not an easy Job for the fish commits
sion TO gather many of the Roosevelt Golden
Trout, for the fish possess that wariness
which Is common among the members of
the hnny world in mountain streams However
highly developed idea In the way of a trap,
well baited, drew a sufficient number of the
trout into its inner recesses The first step
of the work having been taken the rest was
easy. The fish were transported to Bozeman
and Leadvile. where they were allowed to
propagate until great numbers of eggs we're In
the hands of the fish commission
The Roosevelt Golden Trout is essentially
a trout, but instead of the conventional gray
and white of the average trout in fresh streams
and lakes, its sides are streaked with a beauti-
full golden tint which imparts a color to the
surrounding water and makes the fish visible

WALKING BEST OF ExERCBE.

IL "Softens Sorrow, Tempers Trouble
and Adds . Halo Unto Happiness.'
There are no substitutes for the art
OF walking. 1t permits no proxies.
Books may be retold by the reader,
sermons repeated by the nearer, pic
lures may be described by the art crit
les or the humber visitor. No one
can portray the pleasures of walking
nor can its advantages be secured at
second hand, says the Columbia Her
aid. 1t must be ones own individual
employment. Walking Is game for any
mood. The sad, the down-hearted, the
exultant, the serenely content, all, and
those In any other mental condition
may find satisfaction in wandering out
upon the earth. Walking softens sor-
row, tempers trouble and adds a halo
unto happiness. 1t gives health and
vigor to body and mind. Many head
ache has been chased away by walking
and many heartache lifted or light
ened. The best thing for the inside
OF man Is the outside Of the earth.
Unlike other games, walking may be
played in company or alone. 1t may
be for one, two or more. 1t is at it's
best, of course, when played by two
who are really one. Yet a solitary
journey is better far than a continual
stay in the house at toll or in company
gay. Better loaf and invite ones soul
than work or play overmuch and leave
ones spirit atrophied. Sunshine and
fresh air are twin agents in the promo
ton Of happiness and health and
peace.
Every man who walks should be q
lover. He should be not merely a
lover Of his companion but of the birds
and buzzing bees, the bursting leaves
and the blue ceiling of the sky beyond.
One may walk in winter days full of
frost and in summer when the days are
full Of fire. 'Tis the years rosy dawn,
when nature is robing in garments of
green and gold, that she gives most of
her beauty to him who loves and wor-
ships her. The man who slowly walks
adown the street or through the coun-
try fields may then, if ever, look
through the nature up to the natures
God.

Gave 1t Up.

A friend Of the writer recently made
application for public appointment in
a small Scottish town, and, thinking
that his chances for. success would be
greater by little judicious canvass
ing, he resolved to call upon few of
the town councillors. in whose hands
the appointment lay. OF the civic dig
nitaries' position In private life he
knew nothing. Journeying to the town
in question, he hired a cab at the rail-
way station and requested the jehu
to take him to Councillor Bisset's. the
treasurer. The councillor was found
in his blacksmith SHOP shoeing a
horse.
'Ill see somebody of more mpor-
lance than this, anyhow" said the can
didate to himself, and, turning to the
driver, said, "Drive me to Councillor
Maitland's Office"
The cabman thereupon drove him to
the local joiner's shop. This was
worse even than, the smithy, and in
despair he calculated:
.Drive me to Councillor Gray's."
81 am Councillor Gray, sir" replied
the cabman.
The answer staggered the candidate.

reared, resolved to leave his fate In

Plague in San Francisco.

Side by side with exterminating
rats and locating and cleaning the
source of infection ran the caring
for those who had contracted the dis
ease. No proper place for treating
them existed. The old pesthouse was
itself monstrous culture Of germs.
Luckily 1t was burned to the ground,
and an isolation hospital Of the most
improved type erected along lines
suggested by DR.. Blue. This new
hospital has been built to be kept
clean of all possible Infection. In
addition, sheet iron fence six feet
high entirely isolates the hospital,
SO that nothing can get either in or
out except by the gates, which are
tight" The fence is interesting in
that to make it perfectly tight it is
sunken two and one-half feet into
the ground and rests upon con
crete foundation, while it's top is
turned over to make it unscalable by
smaller animals. Here trained nurses
and skilled physicians give patients
the best of care. AT no time after
the federal authorities took hold of
the situation was there hit-or-miss
work. for every case was worked
down scientifically by experts. Why,
to ascertain beyond any doubt, three
special inspectors of the dead were
appointed, and not a single burial
took place unless the body had been
viewed. the exact cause Of death de-
fnitely ascertained and the official
permit issued. Everything was ac-
curate. 1t is accurately known that
lhp to January 80, 1908. when pesti-
lence last attacked humans, and when
the control of the epidemic became
absolute, there had been 159 cases
OF plague. and of these but seventy
seven succumbed.; 1t was competent
treatment alone which kept the NOR
