Big fish!
True Stories with pictures.
Rainbow trout caught in New
Zealand.
The Baraboo fishermen who were
at the Kiwanis lecture on Wednes-
day night at the Warren, turned
both ears forward when Dean H. L.
Russell told of the big rainbow
trout he caught in New Zealand
while making a recent trip to the
far away islands in the Pacific. He
caught rainbow trout weighing al
most fourteen pounds and fish
weighing tWenty-four pounds are
taken. Dean Russell and Profee-
sor Theodore Macklin, also of the
agricultural college at Madison,
caught 20 pounds of rainbow trout
on one trip He showed the pic
lures and this was convincing 20
the Baraboo anglers. Dean Rus
sell explained the fish were trans
planted from America and the food
is so plentiful in the waters of New
Zealand they just keep on growing.
After a number of years food be-
comes less plentiful in places and
then the fish are reduced to the size
caught in America.
Dean Russells narrative of how
the fish would snap the lines tax
en- from America and how they
would zip through the water was a
thrilling story.
New Zealand Strange Land
Iii distant geological time New
Zealand was separated from the
rest of the land on the earth and
life has developed into strange
forms. Until man transplanted
mammals there were none there
except the bat. The native
Mauris took the rat and dog to the
islands and since white men have
come many others are now there.
The native birds are without wings
only rudiments, and some OF them
grow hair instead of feathers. One
variety pounces upon sheep, bites
into the animals until life is ex-
tinct These birds are very des-
tructive and bounty is offered for
them.
Each Of the two main islands is
about as large as Wisconsin anC
civilization is Just about as old.
Until recent years the only exports
were wool, tallow and skins; then
mutton was shipped frozen until
Argentine came into the market.
when dairying became active.
Butter by the ship load is now sent
to England and elsewhere. When
d ship load of New Zealand butter
e. sold in New York the market
says two cents a pound and it re-
Cuires weeks for recovery.
Dean Russell told of the life Of
the people, nearly all are English,
Of the abundance Of flowers, the
rainfall, mountains, cities, streams
and other features Ferns grow
so feet high. Except on the noun
tains it never freezes so that cattle
may feed on the pastures all the
year through.

asked Herman Bogard to draw a

was that of Herman Bogard. Great
laughter and some wonder about
the feat.
T. T.. Risley was named to boost

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 26.-Mardl
Gras is over and the ninety-eighth
celebration of the event has chal'
lenged two hitherto unquestloned
opinions Of the Creole city.
Reviewing this years carnival,
which is admitted to have been as
gay as any recorded in the yellow
files of the newspapers or in the
memories of the little group of the
city's characters who pay attention
to such things, New Orleans has
asked itself these two questions:
Is liquor really needed for merry
making7
Are the great pageants with their
floats all that is required TO make
the celebration of Fat Tuesday a
really popular and spontaneous af-
fair?
Many persons today were answer
ing both questions in tho negative.
The attack upon the first time
honored belief grows out of the fact
that there was surprisingly little
drunkenness this year, although
liquor could be had by anyone, any
where.
1t seemed to visitors that all of
the 1900 retailers of liquor who,
according to prohibition officers. are
operating in the city, were located
in the neighborhood OF the large
hotels.
The visitors drank freely, for ne
effort was made by either police or
prohibition agents to check the now
OF liquor. The police, in fact,
seemed TO he too busy conducting
sightseeing tours to the police sta
lions.
But the masquers, who were
nearly all Orleanians, were surpris-
insly sober. They seemed TO have
gotten out of the habit OF chatting
with John B%arleyeorn at every cor
ner as they used to do. Although
they yer sober, they We're merry,

and P~ageantry
Brought Under Fire In
Mardi Cras Discussion

TO have been among the merriest of
carnivals,
The attack on the old belief that
pageants are necessary for the sue
cess Of the carnival Is a little more
difficult to explain.
New Orleans lives from one Ash
Wednesday until the Thursday be-
fore the next to look at the pageants
Of Proteus, Comus. Momus and Rex.
the lords OF mirth. who lay siege to
the city each year, In 1897, the
city first saw the floats and it would
as soon tear down the galleries of
iron lace in Rue Royale and build a
market in the historic Place des
Armes MS give them up.
But the movement for celebrating
on the celebration, which has been
growing for several years, now
seems about to crystalline. Splendid
as the pageants arc, say the critics,
they r of too short duration to
satisfy the THOUSAND who come to
the city for the celebration. The
pageants have real Significance only
for the crews of the lords of mirth.
And the crews, almost as exclusive
as the Creole socbqty of the city, are
too limited in numbers.
What this questioning of the old
opinion that the p~ageants are Madi
Gras and Mardi Gras is the pagents
will lead to, no one predicts. But
it is likely that the attempt to
foster all day street celebrations and
block decorations, which was made
this year by a civic club, Will he
repeated on a greater scale next
year.
