Pleasur>> of Trout Fishing.

Catching trout is not the only thing that makes fishing mountain stream worth while. The early .mOrning ride to the place where you are to com mence your days sport is in itself pleasant to a degree wholly missed by those who take their rides later in the day. During the early hours of the day the air is fresh and invigorating. Every leaf and spear of grass by the roadside sparkleS with dew, and the forest is pungent with pleasant and health giving odors that are dispelled as the sun rises above the treetOpS and dries the moisture on leaf and twig. AS you drive quietly along you may have the good fortune to see a deer browsing in a roadside clearing. He stands watching you for moment or two, then turns quickly and with graceful leaps disappears among the trees. An old fox steps out into the road and trots boldly along ahead of you for some distance, but when he discovers that you are gaining on him he turns for an instant, shows his teeth with snarl and then sinks away into the bushes. Farther along a partridge with her brood of chicks has also ventured out into the road, and when she, too, discovers that you are drawing uncomfOrtably near there is a great to do. With outspread wings and uttering the plaintive cry made by a mother partridge when she believes her young to be in danger, she hastily collects the members of her family and leads and drives them back into the security of the woods.- Outing Magazine.

a Travellers Tale.

The passengers were beguiling the tourney with pleasant conversation One man in particular, who had the look of a traveller. told of long sojournS in foreign lands and kept them all in tereSted with his anecdotes. Yes gentlemen" said he. there is nothing like travel to expand the mind. Now I don't suppose. for instance. that many of you have ever seen a beet root putting on waistcoat?" His fellow passengers stared in surprise. No we certainly have not" "Or lettuce donning a pair of trousers?" No! "Or q spring onion fixing on its tie an( collar!' No. not even thatw "Wel gentlemen" said the traveller as th' train drew up at the terminus and h. prepared to alight, you may believe me or not. as you like. but severa times in my travels have seen no only a beet root or a lettuce or al onion but a whole salad dressing!"- London Mail.

Slr9ctedly. Her heart was like lead within hrt. Ut would be absurd to suppose you had known Maurice Far Tar there"
 "I.et me see" he repeated musingly Yes, l did know man of that name. What did your friend look like?"
 "He was straight and handsome" she returned dreamilv. He had brown, beautiful eyes, classic clean shayen face and curling black hair"
 "Oh, that isn't the man 1 know at all," he said positively. "The Farrar ! know is rather stout and bearded ! Id quite gray"
 Miss Sherwin nodded indifferently. She glanced again appealingly at the clock in the tower. Fifteen minutes past 8! He was not coming.
 There is no use waiting" she said, rising. All the jOyousness seemed to have left her. Maurice would be here-if he were aliver'
 How dreary the golden day had grown, how cold! And what a moan there was in the wind, a desolate cry that found it's echo in her heart.
 The man on the bench sprang erect, a straight, robust figure. He thrust his smoked glasses in his pocket, swept off his hat and held out eager arms.
 "Aliner' he cried. Maurice is here."
 For one wild, stunned. incredulous moment she stared at him. Then she took a faltering step forward. His arms closed around her as she sObbed out her gladness on his breast. Marked by exile and labor, premature ly gray, and yet the same-the old sweet smile, the old loving eyes!
 "It was no deliberate deception, dear It was only when I saw you ap- preaching that 1 remembered the glasses I must wear in strong sun shine and slipped them on. l cannot read with them en-" he laughed. "but I bent over the paper just the same. My dearest own girl, will you forgive me? You have kept your gir!iSh bP'u- ty. The fever that made my hair gray makes me look older than 1 am"
 Her c0lCr had come back in a rose red tide. She smiled up at him, stard- ing stalwart and dignified before her, and she cried to him: You are hand sOmer than ever. Maurice. But even if you were really bent and crippled yes, and blind-you would be, as you've always been. the only man in the wide world For me!'
 And now the leaves had a merry rus tie and the wind a song of joy.

Time at the North Pole.

At the north pole time Is nothing and if one were residing at the north pole it would be unnecessary to wind ones watch. You are always at l2 o'clock and cant walk out of the ho- tel without walking south. All times of day meet at the pole as the meeting place of all the meridians. A man sit ting with the invisible mathematical point right under him would be in all twPnty-four hours at once. or a twen- ty-fOur hour watch placed on the pole could be made to point to the correct time ill every part of the world. There used to be something of an approxi- nation to this in the extreme north Of Norway where the degrees of longi- tu;le squeeze in. until recent days. Cap tains of Norwegian coasting schoonerS will tell you how inconvenient it was to change between the time of Hol- land at Bergen and that of Crete at the North cape while correct local time was maintained. General Norwe- gian time became indispensable.

A United States senator in one of his campaigns told this story to illustrate the logic of an opponent: Did you ever hear about the young woman in Fort Dodge? One spring morning she sat on the piazza of her pretty little home sewing a button on her husbands coat. The husband himself appeared, and she said fretfully: Its a perfect shame the careless way the tailor sew ad this button on. This is the fifth lime I've had to sew it on again for you"

THEIR HONORS
ENJOY RIDE
And incidentally Learn How
Fast a Car Can Lawfully
Travel.

Mayor Fern now knows just how
fast man may travel and yet keep
within the provisions of the traffic or
| dinance as it now stands. Likewise
nical knowledge on the subject.
Yesterday morning Supervisor Quinn
took Their Honors in his motor ear
and started out to give little demon
stration. That there might be no ques-
ton as to the actual speeds travelled,
a speedometer, carefully tested, was
affixed to the car.
First the fifteen mile gait, which is
allowable within the restricted limits,
was demonstrated All agreed that
the speed was very nice and dignifed,
though hardly what one might call
highly exciting. With great care
Quinn slowed down to the legal ten
miles at all of the crossings, and his
passengers sat back and smiled with
virtuous air.
Then Kalakaua avenue was reached.
The spark advanced little, the throt-
tie opened bit, and the delicate engine
sent the car forward with the jump of
a mettlesome horse. With one hand
on his throttle, Quinn watched the
speedometer until the dial had revolved
to the twenty five-mile mark, then he
kept the speed constant.
Every time that a motor car with
speedily inclined driver whizzed by,
the occupants of the supervisorial ma
chine looked expeetantly at their
driver, but Quinn was out giving
demonstrations Of keeping within the
law, not breaking it.
Twenty-Five miles in Quinn s luxur-
ious machine proved agreeable travel
ing, and the genial supervisor did not
hear anyone urging him to cut the trip
short and start back to town.
The Mayor still has the traffic ordis
nance in his possession. He has not
signed it yet, and says that he won It
until the board allows him that motor
ear that his secretary wants.
But His Honor s eye twinkled when
he made that remark, and he will
probably afix his signature to the law
just as soon as he has read it through
carefully, and satisfied himself that it
contains no provisions that may make
trouble in the future.
