The fy siShe- for herring or seEln
should remember that these fish are now
as wary and educated as brown trout and
that the chances Of filing @ creel are ex-
tre-ely remote unless the river has been
flushed with food water. For day fishing
In clear water small trout flies and a fne
cast should be used. Larger and brighter
flies and rather stronger cast may be
employed after a spate or for night fish

In a dry season the fisherman who qur-

PARIS, April 30.--Not only diamonds but pearls are apparently involved in the crisis through which the European jewel market is now passing. And a prominent French society woman be- 'ame painfully aware of the fact this week when she sought to sell portion of the pearls for which she is famous.
 Among others, she had Q pearl collar consisting of five identical strands. Ex perts estimated the value of the collar
 ast year at 5,000,000 francs. She of fered to sell one of the strands this week for S00,000 francs, and found no purchaser. Finally, after long and futile quest, she was forced to accept 5O0,O00 francs, or $l00,O00, just half the amount at which the string was valued a year ago.
 Apropos of this adventure, commis- sion agent in the Rue de la Paix tells me that never before in the history of the trade has the market witnessed such a deluge of secondhand jewelry as at present. "It seems as though every woman in Paris was trying to sell her jewels. A short time ago this was only true of diamonds and some other stones The same thing now applies to pearls It may be explained by the presence of hard times, combined with the fact that more perfect imitation pearls than ever before are ncw on the market.'

 Match to Chicago.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 30.-The mayor s ability as a walker is question ed. The worst part of 1t is that the challenger is a woman and one that is willing to wager that she can accom- plish something in the walking line that Mayor Becker failed to do--namely that famous walk to Chicago.
 The mayor has received challenges from many pedestrians, but he has re- fused them all. Can he resist woman7 Anyway he is challenged, and there is woman in this town who is awaiting his answer.
 The following letter was received:
 CA young lady who is capable of walking twenty-five or thirty miles in day of ten hours and keeping it up for months. is desirous of making some money out of her ability as a pedes- trian.
 ''I am willing to wager that she can walk from here to Chicago in the same time that s. N. Becker and party at- tempted to. J. H. M'BRIDE"
