Keeper Tells a FjShy Story

Greeley, Colo, July 3l.-That fishes have affection and show it, and that they can be tanned, is evident from the experiments of Keeper Thomson of the Estes Park fish hatchery, who has a rainbow speckled trout which he shows to visitors as a most typical specimen of that kind. The fish was put in the trough at the hatchery four years ago and now is so tame that it answers it's name, comes swimming to its master, and lies quietly in his hands when out of water, Thomson says the fish is so tame and friendly that he fears it will jump out of the water some time and follow him about the hatchery.

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH

The village smithy still is found beneath the chestnut tree, but from it comes no changing sound of ham, mer swinging free the villagers have gathered round to see what they may see. The smith, he is a man of might, of large and sinewy frame; and from his plug he takes a bite, and starts in to declaim: "WeIl, boys, it really was a sight, the way we won that game. We had man on every base when I stepped up to bat the pitchers curves were hard to trace-he knows where he is at-but I just looked him in the face, and knock ed tho blamed ball fiat. Well, stranger, what is that you say? Your horse is needing shoes? Oh, take your cheap old plug away you give a man the blues; I am too busy here today to shoe old kangaroos. Yes, boys, that hit brought in them all, and struck the bleachers dumb l really thought that pitcher'd fall it knocked him out of plumb Oh, when it comes to playing ball your uncle's going some!"

The game was marked by bad

plays and was a great game from

one for the first five innings. How
ever. at the end of the fifth Geo.
Thompson started his real aeroplan'
flight and delayed the game for
time the players got cooled off
and when the game started again
1t soon became evident that each
pitcher was trying to go higher
than Thompson. Littler flew cleai

not exactly conducive to good fair
weather-in fact IL was decidedly
not fair weather. but was never
theless welcomed by the farmers
and the beet growers of this sec

the fall. and the steady soft fall
ing did more good than an equal
amount falling in a short time. II
rained steadily all afternoon. let
ting up a little towards evening.
The country was needing rain
little. following fall in the
river. which made irrigation water
unavailable. and sugar beets were
particularly glad to receive the
rain. The rain was general over
the country, and Monday rains IN
Pueblo raised the river little
which also helped irrigation.
The beet crop is growing rapid

past few weeks. and with the pro-
per amount of moisture. which
seems assured with the rains OF
the first of the week. there will be
some fast growths reported. The
growers are irrigating wherever
possible. and in most cases the
crops look exceptionally good as
result.
