The Little Blind Bats.

Beneath the ruin there still existed
? dungeon vault, gloomy and granite
sroined, yet, save for broken wall and
stairway, perfect as when poor
wretches moldered there at the mercy
of their feudal masters. Now not so
much as n specter of a vanished
sufferer haunted the place; only the
bats passed their sleeping hours
among the arches of the roof and
hung, from f1~ve-clawed hands. with
sinister, wrapped wings-like little
dusky cherubin that worship with
yelled faces at some mystery-seat "

Weakness Of Civilization.

If the world were actually all civil
lied, wouldn't it be toe weak even to
ripen? And now. in the great centers,
where is accumulated most of what
we value as the product of mans best
efforts, is there strength enough to
elevate the degraded humanity that
attends our highest cultivation? We
have a gay confidence that we can do
something for Africa. Can we reform
London and Paris and New York,
which our OWN hands have made?-

True Fish Stories

Recently the writer had an oppor,
tunity to put to the test some of the
fish stories of Editor Crawford of the
Saratoga Sun, and strange as it may
seem they prove true. For trout it is
not probable the Platte river and its
tributaries can be excelled in the Unit
ed States. There may be places where
zone can just throwi in his line and pull
them out two at a time with every cast"
but there are no places where there
is more genuine sport for the angler.
One may choose river fishing where
the water is broad and deep and
where throwing a long line may be
practiced till the heart is content, or
the smaller stream where beautiful
brook and native trout abound. There
is a great variety and very accessible.
Right at Saratoga the Platte river is
said to be alive with fish and in an
hours drive over beautiful roads one
of the tributaries may be reached
where the small boy with the pinhook
"a ''catch them anywhere" In the
company of Captain and Mrs. l.. G..
Davis and Editor and Mrs. Crawford,
We tested the merits of Spring creek
reached in forty-five minutes, and
found the small boy story literally
true. Even the editors of the party
were able to catch trout.
Saratoga's trout day has grown in
to an annual festival. All the people
of the valley go to the island in the
river and gorge themselves until they
cannot with good grace ask for more.
On these occasions trout are free.
They are caught without expense to
the city by patriotic Izaaks. On the
occasion of the recent fry the writer
saw two men bringing in 404 trout
caught in IA single day. 1t is not re-
lated whether they pulled them out
: two at a time" or not, but it is GER
tainly true that if the pulled them
out one at a time they were kept
mighty busy.
From Editor Crawford the follow
ing verse doubtless originated:
"A nan with "a heart and a soul,
And a fine brand new fishing pole,
Said he, IF you ask it
Where | filled my basket.
filled it right out of one hole"

My head is bloody, but unbowd.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the n of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

How charged with punishment the
