Senator Frye of Maine. who is an ar

ed into counsel a reliable fish dealer
and a trustworthy expressman, that
box OF trout should arrive every other
day at Senator Frye's home to indi.
cate the success with which they were
casting the fly.
The plan worked beautifully-"of
course we caught some, and some we
didn't'-but the expressman was fair

about the same from day to day. All
went well until ono day dispatch
came from the Frye domiclle;
Rush two more boxes smoked her
ring. They are great. Are the salt

There was a busy time with the
wires Just then, for the fish dealer
had got his orders mixed, and instead
of shipping fresh trout to Frye's home
he had sent herring, thoroughly smok'
ed But the senator was equal TO 1t.
Camp supplies had been mixed with
the fish caught that day, Of course. He
FASTENED his reply:
"You received the bait by mistake
Nothing but smoked herring win ever
catch fresh trout, you know"
Senator Spooner concluded the tale
truthfully by giving the return mes

Gady Constance Mackenzie, the Eng.
fish traveller and beauty, once made a
long trip through Texas. At one place
wealthy ranch owner invited her to
visit him, and she accepted the invita-
ton. The owner Of the ranch was de.
termined to give his guest a fitting re-
ception, so he telegraphed his mana
ger, Lady Mackenzie coming tOmor-
row; make every preparation to treat
her royalty" The manager had never
heard of Lady Mackenzie. but as the
business of the ranch was raising
blooded horses as well as cattle he de-
cided this must be some fancy race
horse. The famous guest arrived the
next day with her party and found
all ready. A clean box stall, with
abundance Of fresh hay, awaited her.
