TROUT WITH A PITCHFoRK

Think of finding big speckled noun
tain trout in such clusters that you
could throw them out of a stream
with a pitchfork Many people have
tossed little candlefish or some other
varieties which run in schools out Of
the ocean when a whale drove them
on the beach, but the experience of
throwing out trout in that manner is
rare. You can do it for a day or two
almost every summer In lake far
back in the Cascade mountains in
Oregon.
This lake was called Fish Lake by
the first white men who saw it be-
cause fish were so plentiful in its wa
ters. Splendid mountain trout can be
caught there in large numbers on any
good fishing day.
The lake is wide and shallow and
goes dry almost every summer. The
waters gradually recede into a small
stream which runs through the cen
ter Of the lakes bed Into this stream
the FISH crowd and for day or two
after the waters have receded into
this channel men can walk along the
Imarshy ground beside the stream and

recently. Tho fire brigade is said TO

Really there was no fire about the

TIL lone policeman who stands
i guard by the District building in
Washington was making his rounds
placidly when there dawned upon his
horrified mind the fact that horse
was standing with his fore feet upon
the District buildings own sidewalk.
The horse was hitched to a two
seated surrey. Upon seat Of the
surrey sat a gentleman with broad
black hat.
Get that horse off the sidewalk, :"
said the policeman.
If you want this horse to get off
that sidewalk you put him off your
self, you" The remainder Of the
sentence was more in the way Of ex-
pletive than explanation.
You better shut up and get that
horse where it belongs" the police
man pursued.
And then there followed a contro-
versy. 1t was heated, to use a we'll
worn but perfectly good phrase, and
in the end the policeman hoped into
the buggy and took the broad-hatted
gentleman around to police station

the prisoner was a southeTner and

The southern gentleman kept it go

being examined at No. 1, but he did
quit in time to let them know that he
was not the owner Of the horse.
About this time hatless, breath,
less real estate agent rushed out oi
the District building.
Somebody's run off with my horse

shouted.

HUNT FOR MAMMOTH BONES

A search for mammoth bones is ex
citing the folk of the Yorkshire sea
side town of Filey. A big tooth, with
the ivory in perfect preservation, was
found sticking out Of the cliffs there
the other day and identified as having
once adorned the jaw of one Of these
prehistoric monsters. The tooth
weighs nearly thirteen pounds, is q
foot long and nearly four inches thick
It indicates the presence near by Of
mammoth remains bigger than any
hitherto found, although quite a mum
Der Of these antediluvian relics have
been discovered in the neighborhood
from time to time. The finder, a local
surveyor, values the tooth at more
than S25, and it will probably be
placed in the British Museum.

Innumerable hose lines were con-

In the summing up Of the fire drill
it was noted that about 500 worth Of

4 TEAM Of horses, stang by couple
"a Of bees, plunged madly into twen-
ty hives, upsetting them, releasing an
army of $4,000 angry bees, which
stung the horses to death, a few days
ago, over on the Virginia side of the
Potomac river
The negro driver, who ran at the
first alarm, did not escape unwOunded.
Thousands of bees pursued his fight,
and he was terribly stung, but lives.
A dozen or more irresponsible bees
were flying about the grounds at the
home of DR.. Reginald Munson, on the
Columbia pike, near Arlington, where
he has forty hives. The horses, at
tached to a coal wagon, worried by
their humming, slapped at the bees
with their tails The bees retaliated,
singing the horses.
The horses, wild with alarm at the
unusual attack, plunged madly about
the yard, upsetting twenty hives and
releasing some ten bushels Of bees

A STORY told at police headquarters
n by Clarence Davis Of Glenallen,
Va, recalled to older members of the
orce the day when confidence men
had full sway here. The Virginian
related that three men had inveigled
him into matching twenty-five-cent
pieces in a room at the Raleigh hotel,
and that they had disappeared, one Of
them taking S45S belonging to him.
When Davis reached the city and
be registered at a hotel near John
Marshall place and Pennsylvania ave-
lue, he was seated on the coping at
he northwest corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and 7th street when a strang-
ar spoke to him He did not hesitate
% tell the stranger he was from near
Richmond, and the latter said he was
acquainted with people in Richmond.
The Virginian informed the strang-
er that he was thinking of going to
New York, and that he was a brick
layer by trade.
$50 am I a bricklayer," the stranger
said, "and I'm out of work"

literally toss out big mountain trout
with scoops.
Fish Lake is fed by streams flow
ing direct from mountain snow, so
the fish in it are first class. A stream
runs from Fish Lake to Clear Lake, a
deep body Of water three-quarters of
mile away, and as this lake is al
ways full Of trout the connecting
stream insures a good supply Of trout
in Fish Lake.
This lake lies along the Willamette
valley and Cascade mountain wagon
road near the summit Of the Cascade
mountains, seyenty-seven miles east
Of Albany Because the lake dries up
almost every summer it Is not de-
sirable camping place and no resort
has ever been established there. This
lack Of accommodations as well as
the hardship of a drive Of siXty-five
miles from the nearest railroad point
keeps people away. Consequently the
supply Of fish in this lake has never
failed

DISoWNED TWO OF TRIPLETS

When she rallied from the anes
thetic and saw triplets as the stork's
first gift to her, Mrs. Lokodia Rorosky
of 179 Glenmore avenue, East New
York, refused to believe they were
hers. Her husband, Joseph, had hard
work convincing her that the boy and
two girls were her own. At first she
gladly accepted the boy, but insisted
that the girls belonged to another
woman who was trying to foist them
on her The children were born in st
Johns hospital. 1t was only after long
pleading by Rorosky that his wife
grudgingly consented to accept the
two little girls as her own.

Dinner Goats.

Dinner and bridge coats are de-
veloped of almost any material that is
ornate and silken, but chiefly of bro
caded silk in pompadour effects on a
white or pale colored ground
These are worn with any trained
skirt of net, lace, silk, satin or velvet
so long as the colorings of the two
garments do not clash.
Many women use them altogether
as home evening costumes, as they
are less negligee than tea gowns, as
we'll as less costly, and also serve to
prolong the usefulness of extra skirts
that may be on hand.
1t is thus that many women utilize
various ball dresses or post seasons
and thus save money for the utility
coat, which is an absolute necessity,
or for the extra evening wrap of en-
broidered velvet or satin, which she
imagines she needs.

For brown have silk tie showing

On the pale ecru linen or the gray
suit use soft-toned silk, having in
Its paisley pattern showing of rich
lavender, and to wear with any of the
shades of blue the regular oriental
cashmere patterns will give a gor-
geous touch that is upheld by the
fashion makers. Royal blue, deep
dull red and orange usually appear in
the eastern cashmere.

Bright, Victoria, planted in her garden
few seeds of ST. Johns wort sent
her from the old country The ladys
intention was to have one or two Of
the plants at hand for medicinal pur-
poses. The hardy weed, however, soon
spread beyond the garden, and before
anyone had grasped the magnitude of
the evil it had been carried by cattle
along all the main stock routes and
jumped the Victorian watershed into
Gippsland. 1t has now completely Ia
ken possession of something like TO-
900 acres of agricultural land, and the
agricultural department of Victoria is
spending thousands of pounds in the
endeavor to eradicate 1t, some of the
methods tried costing nearly $50 an
acre-Westmins Gazette.
