The Colorado game warden is after <the malefactor; and may all the powers of good aid his search. There are three or four crimes that are petty, as viewed by the statutes, and yet might be made capi tal with distinct gain to the decency of the world. And just about the mo3t depraved of these scraggy sins is “shooting fish” in these mountain waters. Of course, we do not include carp as fish. A carp is a kind of “fathead,’ a toad, without a toad’s usefulness a misbegotten thing left over from the age of slimy, crawling horror.;. We know a reformed swearer who whenever the fit of profanity seizes him, says “Carp!” and feels com pletely relieved. We mean fish, of which, or rather of whom, Trout is undisputed king. And any creature that would dyna mite a Trout pool is ns bad as the lily-livered assassin who poisons a child’s pet dog, because he has not the nerve to take a shot at the child’s father; and is a heap worse than the bold bomb-thrower who makes a fling at a mere human ruler. Think of the iniquity of mangling a Trout —shattering that imperial flesh, loosening by violence those pink layers which should be as deli ately touched as the petals of a ro3e! Think of blasting him to a pulp, with his bones piercing his bruised sides! Think of letting out of him pre maturely that almost immortal soul of him—his heaven-bestowed flavor! Think of the awful sin of spoiling him for the pan—Dr, for him more glorious chariot of fire, the white hot stones, which, with loving and reverent care, have been made ready for him under the willows by the riv er bank! And then think of slaughtering him by thousands and wasting tons of his supernal carcass! Trout who should always be taken singly, as royalty deserves; Trout who, in his realm of waters, should be approached gently, on velvet cour tier feet; Trout across whose vision it is lese majeste to cast a shadow*; Trout wh) should be humbly, yearn ingly, beseechingly solicited! The Chinaman who would know* his emperor must creep on hi 3 knee 3. over a floor of stones, from the palace gates to the throne of the son of heaven, and offer his w*orldly pos sessions as a gift. So he who would have the favor of Trout should crawl, acknowledging his own great unworth and being will ing to give up, in the supreme moment, all the wealth of a universe just to have the king accept and ap prove the homage. May Nemesis herself stalk the j traitor who murders a Trout by dyna-; mite. May he know* no rest by day nor i peace by night. May the game warden get him here' and may the foul fiend get him hero- J after. May he never be permitted to, taste Trout again in this life! Throughout the first eternity may he be a denizen of a brimstone lake: and in every hour may malignant imps blast his meat loose from his backbone with a stick of giant pow der. While the angler who was loyal in mortality shall ccme to hi 3 reward: i Casting his fly on celestial riffles and hearing the archangelic song of hit; reel, w*hile the odor of an elvsian campfire shall woo him to the Trout supper of the redeemed!—Frank J. Cannon in the Denver Times. Notice of School Apportionment The following is the app - rtionment of | the general school fund for the year 1 ending, June 30th, 1909; Dist.

CIVILIZED MAN ALONE SNORES. Unpleasant Habit Absolutely Unknown Among Savages. It Is a truism that n one ever heard of a snoring savage. In fact, if the wild man of the woods and plains does not sleep quietly, he runs the risk of being discovered by his enemy, and the scalp of the snorer would soon adorn the belt of his crafty and more quietly sleeping adversary. W’ith civilization, however, we have changed all this, de clares a writer in Health. The im pure air of our sleeping rooms induces ail manner of catarrhal affections. The nasal passages are the first to become affected. Instead of warming the In spired air on the way to the lungs, and removing from it the dangerous impur ities with w’hich it. is loaded, the nose becomes obstructed. A part of the air enters and escapes by the mouth. The veil of the palate vi brates between the two currents —that through the mouth and the one still passing through the partially closed nostrils—like a torn sail in the wind. The snore, then, means that the sleep er's mouth is partially open, that his nose is partially closed, and that his lungs are In danger from the air not being properly warmed and purified. From the continued operation of these causes—the increase of impure air In sleeping rooms and permitting habit ual snorers to escape killing and scalping—some scientist has predict ed that In the future all men (and all women, too) will snore. It goes along with decay of the teeth and baldness. FEW WORDS, BUT TO THE POINT. Elder Evidently Meant There Should Be No Misunderstanding. Last summer the congregation of a little kirk in the Hi thlands of Scotland was greatly disturbed and mystified by the appearance in Its midst of an Eng lish lady who made use of an ear trum pet during the sermon—such an in strument being entirely unknown In those simple parts. There was much discussion of the matter, and it was finally decided that one of the elders—who had great lo cal reputation as a man of parts— should be deputed to settle the ques tion. On the next Sabbath the uncon scious offender again made her ap pearance and again produced the trum pet. whereupon the chosen elder ros? from his seat and marched down the aisle to where the old lady sat. and. entreating her with an upraised finger, said, sternly: “The first toot —ye’re oot!” —Har- per’s. A Good Inheritance. No boy or girl can ever come to be utterly bad who remembers only love and tenderness and unselfishness and sweetness as associated with father and mother !n the old-time home. Give them manly and womanly examples, give them training, give them the in spiration of devoted lives, give them these higher, deeper things. Do not care so much as to whether you are accumulating money, so that you can leave them a fortune. I really believe that the chances are against that’s be ing a blessing for a boy. But leave them an accumulated fortune of mem ories and inspirations and examples and hopes, so that they are rich in brain and heart and soul and service. Then, if you happen to leave them the fortune besides. If they have all these, the fortune will be shorn of its possi bilities of evil, and will become an instrument of the higher and nobler good.—Minot J. Savage. Wat He Delirious? "Almost every man.” says a Balti more specialist, “learns sooner or later to think of his doctor as one of his best friends, but this fact does not hinder the world from laughing at the profession. “ ’How is our patient this morning?’ asked a physician, a fellow-graduate of mine, of a patient's brother. “ ‘Oh. he’s much worse,’ came from the other in a tone of dejection. ‘He’s been delirious for several hours. At three o’clock he said: “What an old woman that doctor of mine is!” and he hasn’t made a rational remark 6ince.’ ” —Lipplncott’s. Pistols for Two. Mr. Burr to Mr. Hamilton: "You must perceive, sir, the necessity of a prompt and unqualified acknowledge ment or denial of the use of any ex pression which would warrant the as sertions of Dr. Cooper.” Mr. Hamilton to Mr. Burr: "Your first letter, in a style too peremptory, made a demand, in my opinion, un precedented and unwarrantable .. . but by your last letter, containing ex pressions indecorous and improper, you have Increased the dtQlculties to explanation intrinsically incident to the nature of your application.” To Be Original Be Honest and Sincere To be original, we must he natural, that is enough; and if we are honest and sincere we shall be original; be gin each day with a mind as open ns a child's negntlvely alive to the new world and the new year thut begins with every dawn: reverence our im pulses, respect them ns wc would the tendereßt shoots from our costliest bulbs. Theory, knowledge, prece dents kill Impulse, even as certainly bb life murders youth.—Gutzon Bor glum in Craftsman. Flattering. Crusty Old Croesus —You do not ap preciate in the leußi what I did for you when I made you my wife. Oay Young Wife—But I will when I'm your widow. BLACK HAWK NEWS NOTES Game Warden P. C.
