For our own sakes and for the sake

was spared long enough to teach us
by precept and show as by example
to bear the terrible ordeal of recon-

like him there would have been insur-

most powerful government on earth,
did their utmost to force social equal

a True Fish Story.

While fishing up the Gunnison last
week the INDEPENDENT editor was
sitting on a jagged rock, lurlng a
jumping trout with willow-fiy. The
fish suddenly took the fly and the fisher
man in his excitement arose too
precipitately from the rock, tearing a
Jagged hole in the balcony of his pants.
Upon going to his grip for the other
pair he owns he found they were left
at home. The pants torn were Isle
silk and light in color, whereas, at the
stopping place there was nothing but
mourning goods in stock for patching.
A canopy was formed out of about half
a yard of this-cut the shape of the
rock-and some more or less weird
grating done. That Is why the scribe
wore his fish basket for hustle from
the depot home on the return trip. We
knew how to carry the basket proper
