— Ur Trout.
Fred, who had often been hero be
fore, wanted liig trout and knew how
to get them. Ho cast very near
where I did, Imt gave the little fel
lows no chance. So rapidly was his
single fly trolled across tho water
that in a few minutes he had col
lected the whole school away from
the spot where ho expected to find a
big trout. His fly was so largo that
I laughed when ho mounted it, tell
ing lihn ho would find salmon a few
hundred miles farther north in Can
ada, hut rather scarce in York Btato.
But my hunter was unheeded. Fred
knew those waters hotter than I'dld
the Pennsylvania streams, where
many years ago I learned to cast a
fly, and where such a fly as he used
would bo considered a bad want of
judgment.
A dozen times be swiftly trailed
his fly across tho water, getting arise
at every cast, hut not lotting thorn
have it. Twenty feet away to the
right he seemed to have drawn all
the small trout in thut hole. Then,
lengthening his line, he cast again,
and slowly drew his fly with a quiv
ering, snakelike motion. There was
a rise of a magnificent fish, but
Fred struck too quickly and missed
him, though I thought the fish felt
tho steel.
"Wait a moment, Fred," said I.
"Change your fly and you will got
that big fellow.”
"Notabltof it," yelled John. "Lot
him huve it now quick I"
Fred’s fly struck the water before
John had done speaking, and had not
trailed throe feet when the trou t took
it, showing his head and shoulders
out of the water and making the sur
face boil with the sweep of his brood
tail. As hiB capacious mouth closed
on tho fly Fred Btruck so sharply that
the leader Bounded like the twang of
a violin String struck pizzicato.
“You’ve got him, Fred," yelled
John. “Keep him away from tl
hushes. I’ll paddle you out and give
you plenty of room to play him,"—

How many of my young country
men who lmvo mul of the "prayer
wheels” of Burmah and the pnper
prayers of tho Chinese know that
there is a mechanical prayer used by
thousands of people In the United
States? Tho Puoblo "prayer stick”
is quite us curious u dovioo as those
of tho heathen orient, and tho
fonthor is tho chief port of it.
Prowling in sheltered ravines nbout
any Pueblo town, tho curiosity seeker
will find stuck in tho ground care
fully whittled sticks, each with a
tuft of downy feathers (generally
whito) bound at tho top.
Each of those sticks is a prayer,
and none the loss earnest and sincere
beenuso so misguided. Around the
remote pueblo of ZUui I liavo count
ed ovor 3,000 of these strange invoca
tions in one day's ramble; but nover
a tithe as many by any other puoblo.
According to the nature of tho
prayer, tho stick, tho fouthors and
tho mnuner of tying them vary.
Tho Indian who has a favor to ask
of tho Tines prepares liis feather
prayer with great solemnity and se
crecy, takes it to a propor spot, pruys
to all those abovo and plants the
prayer stick that it may continuo his
petition after ho lins gone homo.—C.

If you wish to tnko tho conceit out
of a peacocjf pull out his tail feathers,
and os soon os he flndB tho glory of
his plumage gone ho becomes the
humblest, most subdued aud ashamed
looking bird that ever walked tho
earth. A peacock in full feathor is
bo vain and conceited as sometimes
to he really troublesome. Not satis
fied with squalling at the top of his
discordant voieo, and with parading
himself through tho yard aud up and
down the walks with expanded
plumngo, he will attack cats, dogs
and even children, and has been
known to sorionsly injuro small hoys
or girls that were incautious enough
to venture within his roach.
Plucking his tail feathers, how
ever, causes all his eourago to evapo
rate. Ho will sneak around the yard
like a whipped spaniel, will keop out
of sight ns much ns possible, and you
will hear nothing of him until his
plumage hns again grown.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
