MI. Justice McKenna. of the United

a time ago, and played at it at the
Chevy Chase links, near Washing

He was practising one day, and
there was nobody with him except
his caddie. He teed up his ball, made
all the preliminary waggles he could
think of and swiped at the ball. He
missed it a foot. He tried again, and
this time struck the earth eighteen
inches behind the tee. He made an
other effort and missed again.
Then he stopped, looked at the ball
and said: "Tut-tut! Tut-tut-tut."

MANY PIKE PLANTED.
Fish Commission Placed $40, 900 in
Lake Bemidji last night.

Lake Bemidji received consign-
ment of $4,000 pike last night. The
fry are three days old and were
brought from the state fish hatchery,
at st. Paul They came in thirty
two cans, each can containing 10000
fry. In size, they averaged about
half an inch in length.
But twelve cans were intended for
Bemidji, the other tva.ty having
been brought here to be shipped over
the Great Norahsrn and Rainy River
roads to Big Fork. Through a misun-
derstanding, the twenty cans were
not placed on the east bound Great
Northern last night. AS the next
train over the Rainy River does not
go to Big Fork until Thursday and
the fish would not keep until that
time, it was decided to place them in
Lake Bemidji. They were planted in
the upper end of the lake.
H. A. Rider, Of the state fish and
game commission, was with the car.
He said that the fry would be from
twelve to seventeen inches long In
three years. The sand bar stretching
across the lake from Diamond Point
|tosthe outlet will have q tendency to
keep the fish in that part Of the lake.
Mr.. Rider said that many OF the
smaller pike being caught this yeaE
were planted BY the commission three
