MR. RHODES' HARD LUCK
Misfortune Always Attends Him
When He Goes Fishing.
HIS ADVENTURES SUNDAY
They Were Not Quite So Terrible, How
ever mas Those He Experienced One
Time Some Years Ago - The
Camp at Flathead Lake.
Missoula, July 24.-G(ilbert Rhodes
went fishing Sunday. It is a rule that
when Mr. Rhodes goes fishing some
thing happens, and Sunday was no ex
ception to the rule. He received the in
vitation to go with a friend Saturday
morning. He said that he would go if
he could find his outfit: that he had
loaned it to a friend a year ago and
had not seen it since. About midnight
he found it and he stopped at the
Standard office at that hour to inquire
for his fishing companion. He had his
boots and his basket and his fly book
and was ready for an early start Sun
day morning. He had not looked over
his fishing outfit, but he assumed that
it was all right. That assumption was
w'hat caused all his trouble. The wa
ter in the Rattlesnake is the coldest
there is this side of the Arctic ocean,
and Mr. Rhodes relied u-on his big
hoots to keep him dry and warm as he
waded over the rocky bottom it his en
deavor to secure the evasive trout.
He found a good place and cast his fly.
There was a good rise and he had a
glimpse of a big fellow turning over as
he drew in his line. Another cast and
another turnover. A third and a
fourth with the same result. Then he
examined his fly and hook. The fly
was all right, but the barb was gone
from the hook and the fish refused to
hang onto the fly with their teeth and
be drawn out. Then another hook was
substituted and another cast was mad-.
This was more successful and Gilbert
thotght that his luck had turned. But
as he landed his first fish, he felt his
feet getting cold and proceeded to in
vestigate this dilemma. His hoots had
been put away when they were wet and
the soles had rotted front the uppers,
leaving a long gash, through which the
water poured and the gravel entered
without difficulty. His feet were so
cold that he decided to fish from the
bank. When he walked upon dry land
the gravel hurt his feet so that he pre
ferred the cold water. Then he went
back to thei water and his feet were so
cold that he tried the bank again. This
alternating of systems took him three
miles fromn his camp anld secured for
imtt no fish. That was hard luck, but
there was worse in store for him. He
had finally found a place swhere it did
not hurt him to stand and had made a
cast, which was successful. when his
pole broke. Then his placid disposi
tion was ruffled. He had to tramp back
with his boots full of gravel for three
miles to get another pole. By that
time he was too tired to fish. so he
rested. It was not till near night that
he essayed to fish again, and he did
bring home enough to prove to his wife
that he had been fishing. But that was
all.
The rule of Mr. Rhodes' hard luck
was established several years ago when
he started out up the Bitter Root with
J. L. Hodge. They had a camping out
fit and a dog and were planning to fish
for several days. Mr. Hodge had ar
ranged the trip and Ml'r. Rhodes sub
mitted himself to the guidance with
that implicit confidence that has -ot of
ten resulted in disaster for him. The
plan was to get off the train at Mc
Keen's old spur. and the train did not
stop there. The conductor, however.
agreed to slow up so that they tould
get off the train, and they were to
throw their dog and outfit out of the
baggage car door. As has been said.
Mr. Rhodes was then a stranger in the
Hitter Root and did not know where
McKeen's was any more than he knew
where the Jesuit fathers established
St. Mary's mission. So. when the train
flashed past a pile of lumber and his
companion announced that that was
McKeen's he believed him and rushed
to the baggage car. There was not nmuch
time to be lost, so he seized the dog and
fired him out of the car door. Then
followed the camp equipage and then
Mr. Rhodes was preparing to jtmnp as
soon as the train slowed up. He thad
been in such a hbrry that he had not
heard the baggageman say that they
had not reached McKeen's, ibut when hi
paused before his jump, he was made
to understand that this was the case.
Then he sized up the situation. The
baggaggageman had tied the dog to a
heavy trunk with a long rope and the
canine was making the fastest run
that he ever made before or after.
along the side of the baggage car. Just
touching the high places now and then,
and, whenever he was bounced high
enough to loosen the cinch on his col
lar, he howled like Bedlam. The camp
ing outfit was strewn along the track
for a distance of half a mile and Mc
Keen's was miles away. There was no
such thing as stopping the train, and
legend has it that MIr. Rhodes used
some blue language. He would not be
blamed if he did. When McKeen's was
finally reached, the dog was cut down
and negotiations were entered into
which resulted in the chartering of a
ranch wagon to go back down the track
and. for the sum of $3. pick up the
scattered impedimenta. That was the
experience that established Mr. Rhodes'
reputation for luck and has clung to
hint \e-,c since.
Therp ha s boen a pious expressi, n on

GONE INTO CAMP.
Some of the Jolly Campers early Missed
the Tralu.
Missoula, July 24.-The departure of
two camping parties for the Flathead
country made things lively at the
Northern Pacific station this afternoon.
To add to the confusion, No. 1 arrived
on time and the tardy campers had a
close call In getting away. Some of
them did not reach the station until
it was nearly time for the train to
leave, but finally got aboard, and the
train was not delayed more than 19
minutes. There were 21 in the party
of young people, who will camp near
Poison. at the foot of the lake. The
young ladies include many of the pret
tiest maidens of the city, and they
made an attractive picture as they
grouped on the platform in their camp
ing regimentals. They had enough
trunks to stock a trans-Atlantic steam
er excursion, and all carried fishing
rods. Some of them had guns, and
all of them wore an expression of ner
vousness and anxiety until the last one
was aboard the train that added to
their attractiveness. The young men
tried to look colx and calm. but the
strain was too much for them, and
they were as flustered as anybody.
Mrs. Parsons, the chaperone, looked re
signed to her fate and took things
coolly. The party will camp on the
lake for several weeks. They have a
complete outfit and are well equipped
with provisions and cooks.
Mrs. W. C. Murphy and her child
ren, Helen and Fred, left this after
noon for their camp at the head of
Flathead lake, where they will spend
the remainder of the heated term.
Mrs. Geoffrey Lavell and fihmily left
this afternoon for Spokane. where
they will remain for the rest of the
summer.
Representing the Government.
Missoula, July 24.-Cyrus Beede of
Washington, D. C.. is at the Kennedy
hotel. Mr. Beede is here representing
the government in looking after the ap
praisements of the lands of the Flat
head Indian reservation. He is accom
panied by his wife and will remain for
several days.

ous articles of furniture were a big
stove, that roared day and night, a bil
liard table, and a number of benches
and chairs. This was the club rcom
of the 60 or 70 officers of the fleet, and
here they congregated to play billiards
and whist, or sit about thlough the
long arctic evenings. while the wind
howled outside, smoking and spinn;ng
yarns of many seas, or of b'iyhood days
at New Bedford, New London and
Martha's Vineyard. There were veter
ans who had whaled on every ocean
and had been in nearly every port on
the globe: men who recollected o\ell the
raid of the cruiser Shenandoah, when
nearly a score of ships were crushed
in the ice floe. The sailors and firemen
of the fleet did not have the privilege of
this house, but contented themselves
with games and amusements of their
own. They had an orchestra that
played long and vociferrously, and there
was an amateur dramatic troupe that
gave entertainments during the win
ter. -But it was on the great national
game of baseball that officers anc men
most depended to break the tedium of
their long Imprisonment and furnish
the necessary outdoor exercise.
All the whalemen were dressed in the
Eskinmo fur costume, only the face be
ing exposed, and on their hands wore
heavy fur mittens. These clumsy Int
tens, together with the fact that one
was apt to fall on the ice unless he
gave a large part of his atenltion to
keetning his feet underneath him, made
good catching practically impossible.
"Muffs" were the rule. and the man
who cau ght and held the ball rc'eiv, d
an ovation from the hundreds Iof
Eskimo who were always crowded
about the rope. No one was apt to re
peat an experiment of catching with
bhare hands. One oif the ('enter fletlera
was a corpulu-ln O kney lilander,
i\\ho.-e favor lti- In thuod of stopping a
hot grounder wlas to lie down in front
of it. The Eskimo considered him th
star player of the fleet. Silding was
the only thling done to perfection. tihe
ice offering exce.llent facilities for do -
tintn in that line. and there was al
oavys a wild cheer when a tunner get
ting too much headway, knocked the
baseman off his feet and both came
do.\\ n together. The scores were ridic
utlously large, seldom less than 50 on a
side and sometimes twice that. On the
stomoth ice a good hit meant a home
run.
SNoe Mythology.
When the maiden In the old Teutonlc
myth .saw the dragon approach she
\ as mut h terrified. "Are you going to
d.evour me?" she shrieked, clasping her
hoanis agonizingly. "No. Maude."
Itlied the dragont,, sarciastially. "I'm
siimply gling to take your chewing
gum away from you!" Whence we see
th-it even a dragon eventually bt
comes tired if being asked foolleh ques
tions.
