TROUT FISHING IN THE NORTH

Fort William, Ont, May s-Trout
fishing will open in all the north
country in dead earnest next week,
from the Canadian head of the lakes
to the height of land at the far west
erly limits of New Ontario. Dis
ciples of Walton whose specially is
the speckled beauty will trek into the
north woods by hundreds during the
next few days and scatter 10 the
myriad ice-cold mountain streams of
Thunder Bay district. The territory
is so vast and the trout streams so
many that the heavy toll taken each
year has no noticeable effect on the
supply. An unexplained circumstance
is that identical streams west of the
height of land do not and never were
known to contain trout.

PROPER CELEBRATION
FOR Tin Wedding

The tin wedding celebration may
take the form OF luncheon to the
bridesmaids or to few friends. or
may be in the form OF a dinner party
or a very informal evening affair,
writes Helen Van Derveer in Modern
Priscilla.
The decorations and the service as
far as possible will be OF tin. Whether
luncheon or dinner, the bouillon may
be served in tiny jelly molds, the
bread and butter dishes and the plates
used will be of tin. The vegetables
may be served in larger molds and the
cocoa in tin cups. Tin platters will
be used for the roast or meat course.
The decorations may be chosen to
suit color scheme, the sentiment or
their seasonabIeness.
Place in the center of the table a
three-cornered tin sieve, the style
used for draining purposes. Fill this
with moss, ferns and violets, or crocus
blossoms peeping through the moss
Cf the affair takes place in the
spring.. AT the four corners of the
table molds filed with ferns and bios
SONS match the centerpiece. At each
place tiny mold holds small potted
fern, which is kept as a souvenir by
the guest. A few pieces of cut glass
holding nuts and olives add to the
brightness, although tin dishes may
be used in their place.
Another scheme of decoration is to

HISTORY OF MARTHA
WASHINGTON WILL
Morgan Tells How Document
Game Into His Possession.

Washington.-The first authoritative
explanation Of the manner in which j.
Pierpont Morgan came into possession
Of the Martha Washington will, to re-
gain the custody Of which the COVER
nor and citizens Of Virginia have
threatened legal measures, was given
out by MIR. Morgan.
'"rhe will OF Martha Washington was
taken from the Fairfax courthouse in
1862" Mr.. Morgan said, "by colonel
of the Union army, who rescued it
from destruction by his men This
officer retained it in his possession for
thirty years and shortly before his
death in 1892 gave it to his daughter
who, thirteen years later, in 1906, sold
II to the late j. Pierpont Morgan.
"This account she related at the
time of the transfer. She stated that
her fathers regiment garrisoned Fair
fax Court House in 1862 and that be
had headquarters in the courthouse.
Another command had previously occu-
pied the place; and the men had bro
ken open the safes. The floors were
Uttered with papers which the colo
neIs men used in making fires. Enter
ing headquarters one day he found
his men shoveling papers into stove.
He stopped them, and in examining
the papers found the Martha Washing
ton will.
"He carefully preserved the docu-
nent throughout his life, and on the
eve of his death gave it to his daugh-
ter"
The correspondence sh lws that Mr..
Morgan suggested to the governor of
Virginia two plans for the preserva-
ton and exhibition Of the Martha
Washington will. One is that Mr..
Morgan would present the will for
public exhibition at Mount Vernon,
the other is that the will be preserved
by the congressional library at Wash
ington. With both of these suggestions
Mr.. Morgan couples another, that
George Washingtons will, now Vir-
Sinia's property, be exhibited with it.

quart measure filed with pink gera-
mum blossoms, or ifsone prefers red
color scheme, the red blossoms may
be used. Either color is very pretty
used with the shining tin. A small
blooming plant to correspond is
placed in a mold at each plate and
produces a very pretty table effect.
If one uses candles, the old-fashioned
tin candle holders should be chosen.
A menu for luncheon of this sort
may be as follows: Oysters or CLAIMS
on the half shell, bouillon, chicken Gro.
quettes with peas, potao balls, orange
sherbet, salad, not rolls, ice cream
served in small dinner pals of tin,
cocoa.
The sherbet may be omitted and a
fish course served after the bouillon if
desired. Broiled mackerel with sauce
tartare is good.
The salad will depend upon the
time of the year. A fruit salad can al.
ways be made during the winter
months, while one requiring endive
cucunmbers or tomatoes will be chos
en- when such things are in the mark
ct.
For the refreshments served during
an evening affair one may select crab
meat salad, hot rolls or sandwiches
macedoine Of fruit, cake, cocoa.
The crab meat can be purchased by
the pint, ready to use. 1t may be
served plain on lettuce with mayon
naise or may be mixed with chopped
celery.

Madison, who was stranger in Sa-

two men whom he said. he did not
know. His cries for assistance brought
a policeman, who arrested one of the
men, but was unable to catch the 9TH

station, and rs he was being searched
the policeman found the razor in the
prisoners pocket.
''Officer. please let me keep that,

"It's against the rules" replied the
policeman.
"Can't you let me have it? wouldn't
take anything for it," begged the pris.

Neat bedroom curtains of unbleach-
ed muslin may be trimmed with mar
row lace The muslin, 20 inches wide,
is the 10-cents-a-yard variety, deep
cream in color. and trimmed with lace
at five cents yard.
One width of the muslin, cut down
the center and neatly hemmed with a
narrow hem, is sufficient for the cur
tains, and one gard of the muslin is
more than sufficient for the valance.
This brings the cost of the curtain to
20 cents for a window.
Curtains of scrim, neatly hemmed
and stenciled with narrow conven-
tional border, sash length, require 2%
yards of 40-inch scrim of grade cost
ing 20 cents per pard; total cost, So
cents.
The amount OF material used in the
stenciling is so small that it would be
hard to arrive at the actual cost of it.
Straight-hanging curtains of cheese
cloth against the glass, trimmed with
narrow lace edge, and overdraperies
of silkaline in dainty pattern of pink
rosebuds on a white ground, will cost
$1.25 per window.
Simplicity, lack Of pretense and har-
mony with surroundings should be the
guiding principles in decoration.

The father of Saint Gaudens, the

Paris, "A suggestion is made In
