FLY FISHING FOR TROUT.
Why an Angler Considers It the "Best
Of All Sports"

Why an Angler Considers 1t tho "6est
Of All Sports"
am inclined to believe that fly fish
ing has its chief and most easily de-
fined excuse in the existence of GER
tain fish-Salvelinus fontlnalis, the
speckled trout. Here, indeed, is some
thing tangible, thing which may be
taken in the hand-first catch your fish
and looked upon. No one seeing
freshly caught brook trout would say
that it was other than thing Of beau
ty. Its delicate, varicolored resplen-
dency is not equaled by any living
thing.
The tarpon, the SILVER king" Of
southern waters; the Atlantic and Pa
cif1c salmons, the ouananiche, or land
locked salmon. and the grayling COM
prise practically all the other fishes,
excepting the various forms of brook
trout, which may be said to possess
both beauty of form and coloration. 1t
cannot be denied that these fish are
justifiably praised, but 1t is generally
conceded that the red spotted brook
trout has nothing to fear from their
competition. OF the western rainbows,
cutthroats and steel heads the rain
bow is the eastern brook trout's near
est competitor, and that is praise
enough for the rainbow.
So here is one good reason at least
why fly fishing for trout is considered
by many the best of all sports.-Sam-
uel G. Camp In Recreation.

HORSE AND MOTOR.
Does 1t rlean the Passing of
the Horse +?

TIME horse, since the beginning Of
civilization, has been one OF mans
most useful servants. To the farm
er, his services are Indispensable,
In drawing his crops to barn and market,
blowing his fields, supplying power to
thresh the grain, and, hitched to the old
buggy, the patient animal has covered
many long miles. But with the coming
Of the automobile, steam pillow, the trac-
ton engine, and the bicycle, his services
are becoming less essential, and some
have even gone so far as to believe that
In a few years horse will be seldom
seen on our streets.
A prominent automobile Journal says !:
although the motor-driven vehicle stead
lily increases In numbers and availability,
according to a Texas paper, 1T Is not
sending the old nag to the boneyard.' 1t
Is further stated that the horse market
does not show the slightest effects of the
automobile, the demand being as great
and the prices as high as before the auto
mobile came into use. These reports are
taken from statistics obtained from 325
cities by the master horseshoers. All this
information is extremely gratifying, and
It Is a satisfaction to know that in its

A QUEER PARROT.
The Old Lady Had Reason For Sur.
Prise When the Bird Spoke,

prise When the Bird spoke.
A young ventriloquist, being out Of
IN engagement, decided to pay his wild
owed mother a visit for few weeks.
On arriving he found she was not at
home. A few days after his arrival
she appeared, bringing with her par
rot and cage which had been given
her by a relative. The bird not being
able to talk, mother and son spent
many tedious hours trying to instruct
the parrot. After several futile efforts
they gave the job up In despair.
Then happy idea occurred to the
son. Bringing his yentriloquial powers
into requisition, gently at first he
made it appear to his mother that the
bird had really begun to talk. The
mother not knowing the nature OF his
avocation, he was successful in deceiv-
ing her. He had an engagement to full
fill which necessitated his departure.
Coming back after the termination Of
his contract, he was heartily received
by his mother and made very well
come. Soon after his arrival home he
commenced and carried on q CONVEX
sation, as before, with the parrot. No
ticing the look Of CONSERVATION on the
countenance of his mother, he inquired
what was the matter. Imagine his
surprise when she replied:
'Why, the parrot died while you
were away, and l had 1t stuffed and
put back In the cage."-Pearson's

A TUSK HUNTERS ESCAPE.
So Close q Call the Native Really
Thought Himself Dead.

Hunting elephants for their tusks In
wolves courage, patience and Infinite
cunning. Frequently the hunter be-
comes the hunted, and the tables may
be turned fatally. A writer In Nc
Clure's Magazine tells of an escape,
vouched for by ian Indian dealer who
never lied about anything and who
claims to have seen this deliverance
exactly as he reported It."
Some natives were hunting elephants
in the nelghborhood OF Lake Rudolph.
and he was with them for the purpose
Of trading cotton cloth for ivory. Ele-
plants like old bunch grass that has
become dry like hay, and herd of
them, attracted by dry grazing" as 1t
is called, came suddenly within an
eighth of mile of the camp.
One native named Jumn, from the
coast, an unskilled hunter, observing
that the wind was in such direction
that 1t blew news Of the herd to him
rather than blowing his whereabouts
to the knowledge of the herd. ran out In
the open with his rifle and aimed at
short range at powerful creature
which was watering struggling
shrub with water he had taken In his
trunk from the pond.
Once hit, the elephant was CORE
spondingly furious and rushed at
Juma after deliberate scrutiny of
the immediate foreground to discover
his whereabouts. Having determined
where his assallant stood. he tore along,
crazy with rage. toward the shaking
savage.
Juma, with an orientals instinct OF
prostration before such an overwhelm-
ing force, merely threw himself fat
upon the ground.
The elephant rushed completely over
him, but by accident left him safe.
although choked and blinded with the
disturbed and sandy soil. The great
feet cleared him. and the tusks missed
him.
Almost twenty-four hours passed be-
fore Juma dared believe himself alive
and sound. and for the first twelve
hours after the excitement he spoke of
himself only In the past tense, as Of
one dead.

Ing article on Actors and Authors" to

theater. The following. extract will
be read with appreciation:
The authors greatest difficulty lies
In the necessity of directing an actors
attention to an obvious mispronuncia-
tion-a feat that must be achieved
without humiliating the actor in the
presence of bis professional brethren
Many years ago was engaged in
rehearsing a burlesque, and very
clever young lady had to sing the coup
let:
Indubltably II you do
1t will be the worse for you.
The clever young lady, whose pro-
nunciation was not always beyond re-
proach, delivered the lines thus:
Indubitubly II you do
1t will be the worse for you.
This, Of course, would not do, so
determined to alter the word to din
eyitably." The young lady agreed that
the alteration greatly improved the
verse, but she was not to be deprived
of her tub" 80 she sang 1t:
Inevitably II you do
1t will be the worse for you.
This was just as bad, so ] made 1t
"unquestlonably." and, Of course, 1t
came out:
Unquestionubly IL you do
1t will be the worse for you.
i could think of no other word that
would answer the purpose, so, as n
last resource, ] said to her:
do you think 1t advisable to give
the word its French accent"
"How do you mean?"
"Why, 'unquestlonubly' - that's the
way 1t Is pronounced in Paris. In ad-
dressing an English audience perhaps
the simple English version Of the word
would be better. Try 1t, at all events,
'unquestionably.' "a instead of ~
Unquestionubly' would be all very
well for the stalls, but the gallery
wouldn't understand it."
"Of course" she said, "the English
accent would certainly be more appro-
priate."
And she sang 1t "unquestionably"
like the good girl that she was.-Argo
