WHERE THE TROUT Turks.
Best Feeding Places 0pen Reaches
as Against Deep Pools.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
The more open and level reaches of a
hill stream are generally fuller of fish
than the deeper and more imposing pools.
Trout cannot feed on naked rock, and If
we scan the depths of one of the dark,
pellucid basins under the foam that
spreads outward from the cascade we see
that it is bare even of such scanty MOSES
as clothe gray boulders on the hill. Such
pools have no mud, no weeds and only a
few ounces of stray gravel. and they hare
therefore no matches of water fly, which
need some such shelter for their imper-
feet stages.
Their stony banks also hold little in the
way of grass and water plants which nur-
ture good many insects on the more
level shores. Yet although there may be
few trout of more than four or five ounces
in the more even reaches the big pools
often hold fish or two of half to three
quarters of a pound. Nor do they show
a rule the large head, strong jaws and
trout; cannibals are generally found Turk
ing in some small but snug recess in the
more open and pebbly water or in some
other spot where smaller fish can be
seized as they pass by.
The conditions of life in the deeper
pools tend both to bring the fish that oc-
cupy them to large size for such a
stream and also to prevent them from
feeding on their own kind. The whole
of the clear bare pool is the sphere of in
fiuence of one single fish, and lille he
has SO few young friends about him that
he has little opportunity for becoming an
ogre he commands the whole supply of
worm or insect food that falls into his
pool or is carried past him by the cur
rent.

Studies in Squirre!dom.

From Our Dumb Animals.
The edible mushrooms are eaten by the
red squirrels. especially the Russula wires
Gems and the small Amanitopsis nivalis
the latter I have often seen gathered by
the squirrel, who carefully takes it from
the ground intact and deposits it among
the tree branches. One often sees mush-
rooms left in this manner for a future
meal. Many a time, when gathering
mushrooms for the purpose of study,
have been reprimanded by an indignant
squirrel in his tree.
A squirrels mode of eating huckeber-
ries is most. interesting to see. He runs
up a tree nearest the berry bushes for a
short distance, fastenS his hind feet to
the bark of the tree. and hanging head
downward, swings out his body until he
can catch hold of the huckleberry bush,
which he then holds firmly with his fore
paws while he eats his fill of the fruit.
The red and gray squirrels are fond of
the young pine cones, which they eat
from the branches, dropping the scales of
the cones in heaps under the tree. Both
varieties of squirrels have the ability,

"Dowager" Going Out.
From the Court Journal.

From the Court Journal.
The word ''dowa GER seems to he Going
quite out of fashion, and many ....,
should so style themselves prefer to use
instead their Christian names. Strictly
speaking the mother of a married peer
or baronet is the dowager, but it has be-
come the custom when two ladies bear
the same title to call the elder one by
her Christian name, the distinction dow
ager being dropped altogether.
= At court. however all widows of peers
and baronets are styled dowager when
the peer or baronet regnant is married.
The Christian name was adopted some
years ago in cases where there were
more than two ladies bearing the same
title in order to make a distinction be-
tween the dowager and the wife of the
holder of the title. and the innovation has
become so popular that peeresSeS and
baronets wives who should style them
selves dowager elect to be known by
their Christian names Thus the widow
of the Earl of Dudley is known as
Georgiana Lady Dudley, but actually she
is Dowager Lady Dudley.

MANS FAITHFUL FRIEND
SENATOR VESTS EULOGY OF
CANINE FIDELITY.
Famous Speech to a Country Jury
in Behalf of Man Whose
Dog Had Been Killed.

The opposition which has deye,oped
among dog lovers and owners against the
order of the Commissioners requiring that
contributors to suggest the reprinting at
this time OF the famous speech made
many years ago by the late Senator Vest
of Missouri.
Senator Vest was attending court in
small country town, and while waiting for
the trial of a case in which he was inter
ested, consented TO join in a case then
being heard in which the plaintiff was
suing for damages for the killing of his
dog. He contended that the animal had
been shot by the defendant in malice
The defense was that the animal had
attacked the defendant.
Senator Vest Joined with the plaintiff S
attorneys, and when the evidence was all
in made the following sentimental plea
on behalf of the dog
Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend
d man has in the world may turn against
him and become his enemy. His son or
daughter that he has reared with loving
care may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our happiness and
our good name, may become traitors to
their faith. The money that a man has
he may lose. 1t flies away from him.
perhaps, when he needs it most A mans
reputation may be sacrificed In a moment
of ill-considered action. The people who
are prone to fall on their knees to do
US honor when success is with us may

heads

The One Unselfsh Friend.

THE one absolutely unselfsh friend
that a man can have in this selfish world,
the one that never deserts him, the one
that never proves ungrateful or treacher-
Gus, is his dog. A mans dog stands by
him in prosperity and in poverty, in
health and in sickness. He will sleep on
the cold ground, where the wintry winds
blow and the snow drives fiercely, If only
he may be near his masters side. He
will kiss the hand that has no food to
offer. He will lick the wounds and sores
that come in encounter with the rough
ness of the world. He guards the sleep
of his pauper master as if he were a
prince When all other friends desert he
remains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces he is as con-
slant in his love as the sun in its jour-
neys through the heavens. If fortune
drives his master forth an outcast in the
world, friendless and homeless, the faith
full dog asks no higher privilege than
that of accompanying him, to guard
against danger, to fight against his enc
mics.
