Trout and grayling galore!

. Can 1 over forget the feeling of utter exhaustion and weariness that took possession of ms, body and soul, at the close of . ~ that first day? Even the crinkling of the new bough-bed and its balsamic fragrance failed to elicit admiration on that night. Ws simply went to bed and went to sleep, but how we did sleep that a mo*t frosty bight! The eoastellatlons made half the eircuit of the skies while we slumbered, for it was all of twelve hoars by the watch from the time that we drew our blankets over us till we arose refreshed, ready for

our biscuits and eottee*the next morning. Not many daya after we had moved into

•ur camp on the Tenderfoot three men came from Neihart, a railroad Mat.on over I the mountain beyond the sources of our creek, ana made a camp at the leooud crossing above us, where they remained about ten daye. They were our neighbors, for we borrowed baking powder of them and they borrowed our camp kettle iud camp ax and eent us a venison roast, ell of which was aurely enough to establish the neighborship relations. At any rate it gave us the opportunity o! seeing how they lived and as they had come to fish and to recreate as we onrsalves had done, w« felt the greater curiosity in comparing our camp ooureuienres and camp life with theira. To our utter astonishment we found that they had batons cooking uteusii made for the purpose—a vessel vary similar to that known in sou# Indiana kitchens as a sauce pan, and in which they mixed and then naked their bread, fried their bacon and grouse and cooked their fish, making a sort of Ohowdar of it. Thalr coffee they made la a tio fruit eao, first pulverizing the

praioa in the bottom of it as it

rested on a fiat alone with the squared end of a stick. There were two tin cups belonging to their kit, but not a tin plate, nor a •poon, nor a knife and fork. The third man probably drank hia coffee out of the can. Had there been a tin plate in their camp It would have served the double pur-

pose of plate and frying pan.

The tendeuov with moat "outers” is, 1 think, te overload, just as the tendency with most housekeepers is to crowd their houses with unnecessary articles. Our Tenderfoot neighbors were sinning on ihe other aide. An outfit like theirs would he excusable only when men were lost or hid-

ing out

The Teuderfoot is trom twenty to thirty feet wide, and is all swHt—exceedingly swift—water, save where it strikes the bates of the clifis and has worn deep holes in the shaly rook. There is no mud bottom anywhere, and very little »aud or gravel. Everywhere, ease in the excavations referred to, the water rushes over rounded granite bowlders that have come down from the mountains above. The mountains along the creek are made of stratified limestone and sandstone slates, and the Geologists—at least aome geologists—tell us that the»e Belt mountains are the ancient Hockv mountains; that they were old before* the vast elevations known as the Kook its had lilted

Iheir peaks skyward.

However that may be. I do know that when we began fishing the Tenderfoot we \ found its bowlder fieor slippery with a elitny growth, and that the fisherman was In eonstant danger of falling. It was apparent that a fall in its etrong and swift •urrent meant many a rolling-over, if not

something worse.

George did not fish, In I had no one to warn, but Mack. Somehow I felt concerned •bout him foraa 1 remembered the strength, swiftness and depth of the current, it teemed to me that hia slender thanks were liable at any moment to go dowu under the strain. But as the days went on and Mack •ame in from his flehing dry, my concern wavs way and I began ,to feel curious to know whet the consequence would be t should Mack’s heels slip up on the alipperv rooks. The more I thought about it, however, the more it appeared to me that the episode would be a humorous rather than a tragical one, The ttoughi kept growing upoa me till one dav while George end I were out with the kodak taking a viqw of a particularly grand eliff, I called his attention to a swift bit o! rapids With the statement that if Mack’s haela should happen to slip up lust there, he would get a good wetting. Hardly were the words out of my mouth when mv own heel* went the ene ene way and the other the other, and down I came iu the spring eold water, la a trice I was on my feet, and while I had demonstrated to my own satislaction that there was no danger of anything tragical resulting from such a fall, it was also demonstrated that there was equally no element •f the humorous shout it It is true 1 thought for a moment that George had a miad to laugh, but a full view of his very 1 serious raec dispelled tbat thought. But Mack, the graceless scamp, when I told kim the story tbat night, thought i\ im* mensurashly funny aed fairly laughed

kimaelf to sleep over it.

The tame of the Teaddrfoot for its gams and fish has gone beyond the boundary of Montana, big ts the State is. Just how long it has been since the first white men came to the place I have been unable to learn. I bare bees told, however, that the soldiers came from Camp Logan, twenty or more miles distant, tweatv-nve years ago, to kill game. The first white man who came was a tenderfoot, it is raid, snd in a scrimmssre with a bear was badiv worsted; hence the

I same.

Rough I ng It on a Tonf of Inspection— Condition of the Inetltt^lons.

Secretary Johmoo, of the State Board of Charities, bos returned from a four week*' tour of the souther counties of the State, during which be visited poor asylum*, jails, insane hospitals and city hospital*. Mr. Johnson has discovered that he can save time and money by driving from coun« ty to county instead of going bv rail. On the trip frotnlwhich be ha* just returned, he drove *everal hundred miles. When the roads are good and the weather fine, this inode of getting about is pleasant, he sayn. lie lodges at the poor-a*yium at which he happens to be when night comes, generally, and finding his way from pise* to place among the winding, rough roads of the southern counties, be experiences some

queer adventures.

A few days ago lie started to drive from Evansville to Boouville, a o.stance which he was informed was seventeen miles. lie drove five miles to the Yanderburg poor asylum, took an early supper there, and at 5 o’clock started on toward Boouville. The twelve miles which he had still to drive he supposed he could complete before dark. From the poor asylum he traveled east six rasles and found himself at a cross-roads village eleven miles from Evansville. According to his count he had six miles more to go. lie inquired casually how far it was to BoonviJle, in order to make sure he had made no mivtake, and was astounded to find that he had still sixteen miles to go. He drove until the night became so dark that he could not see the narrow, crooked road and then stopped ut a village containing two stores and a boarding house^. At the boarding house he was refused admission because the place wai full, it was only 8 o’clock, but everybody had gone to bed. The landlady put her head out of an upper window and gently but firmly declined to adruitthe late comer. She softened in her demeanor sufficiently at the last to direct Mr. Johnson’s attention to a light in a window about a quarter of a mile away and suggest that he might possibly find lodging there. He staned for the beacon

stake of $300. The other events for the day are the 2:40 pace, for which the Western Horseman has guaranteed a parse of $5> 0. and the 2:2o trot, for which the Denison House has guaranteed a s ake of $500. Only two-year-olda are eligible in this

event.

Fdllowing are the entriea for to-morrow's

races.

he walked back to town and found that every light in the place, except in one of the stores, had been extinguished. The traveler was discouraged. lie went into the store and held - a prolonged conference with the merenant and the merchant in turn held a tedious executive session with his wife. If one had looked into that store in the silent watches of the night he would have discovered the secretary of the State Hoard of Charities wrapped in peareful slumber, almost an ob-

ject of charity himself.

Mr. Johnson finds a general improvement in the jails and poor asylums over the conditions prevalent when he made his first visit* to them. While there are exceptions to the rule, he finds a marked advance in the sanitary and moral condition of some of the jails and poor-houses which were among the worst a year or two ago. There are stilt a few insane persons confined in the oounty jails. This is one thing which the board of charities is trying to abolish entirelv. In Shelby county, on this last trip, Ml. Johnson found two nsane persons in jail; in Morgan county he found one and in Gibson county one. The four big insana hospitals in the Stale are crowded to their utmost capacity, and Mr.

The Commercial Club and the Indiana Grand Army men will be prepared to give the delegates to the national encampment at Washington many reasons why the encampment should be held in this city next year. Those who have been giving the subject attention say they do not think there ia any doubt about the ancampment cowing here. The Commercial Club has had printed a red, white and blue silk badge, which the Indiana people will wear to the Washington encampment.. The badge bears a picture of the •ompleted Soldiers’ Monument, and the words: *‘G. A.

The subscriptions taken for the Democratic national convention last spring hold good for Ihe G. A. R. encampment. Those who subscribed to the fund did so under A clause which said that the money was to be used in taking care of the convention In ca-e it came to this city, and if it did not. then for the entertainment of the G.

Captain Many's division, the best from this city, was unusually weak oa account uf the absence of some of the best drilled men. The Captain was compglltd to pot in some men who knew practically nothing abobt the drill. Besides, the Kansas divisions hod been drilling for the contest for a year.
