Smelt
"The smelt are in the Sandy" is the cry that annually
' awakens the sportsmen of Portland from their winter
lethargy and sends them by the tens of thousands to line the
shores of the small stream through whose turbulent waters
millions of the tiny silver horde are ascending to spawn.
Armed with most anything in the line of fishing tackle from
a pitchfork to a hoop-skirt the slaughter merrily proceeds.
Gunny-sacks, washtubs and boilers are filled with gravid
shiners and then fishermen proudly homeward wend their
weary way, to publicly display the trophies of their skill.
The smelt should be the emblem of the Oregon sportsman,
as it is a good match for his science and cleverness, and there
are enough to go around, for the present at least. Smelt
average as large as most of the trout caught, fully as large
as the only trout that receive protection under Oregon laws,
those under 10 inches in length, and like the trout is taken
principally in spawning season. Moreover, the smelt is not
particular about the paraphernalia used to land him and in
as averse to a fly as most anglers, and hardware is as good
for bait as anything else.
It will be seen therefore, that the smelt has every qualifi
cation to rank as the king of Oregon streams and favorite
of the Oregon sportsman, replacing the fast vanishing
trout. What he lacks in quality he makes up in quantity,
and he is just as sporty and gamey as those who capture
him in fact for his size, somewhat superior.

A Professor's Phantasy
l'rofessor Conrad Tharaldsen of the zoology department
of Northwestern University is out with the prediction that in
the remote future man will have a great brain but be lacking
in physical strength. "A big bulging head", he says, "will
be supported by a sliver-like body with short arms and legs
and maybe hoofs instead of feet," for in the Utopia to come
there will be little use for muscle and consequently man will
not have much.
The professor knows just about as much about the
fu'ure as the rest of us, which is nothing at all. His conclus
ions, however, are in direct contrast with the little we know of
man in the 25 000 or less years that he has left records,
Brains are no bigger and bodies no feebler now than when
civilization first dawned, and the fact that we are breeding
morons and subnormals at such an intensive rate dismisses
the idea that man is growing intellectual or running
to brains.
As a matter of fact the brainy people in any nation or
race are few and progress is due principally to these few.
Periodically the cycle of civilization swings back into barbar
ism. and the progress of centuries is submerged in the
twilight of a dark age. We like to think that each recurrent
period of advance reaches a higher level than any before it,
but it is mere conjecture.
The great bulging head is found only in feeble-minded
institutions and is no indication of brains. So far as we
know, the sound body is still an essential to a sound mind
anj neither the shape of the head nor its size any real
r. -asurc of brains.

"It's not far. Uncle Ovid, from
that hols In the hedge as you may
think, for X knew that I'm going
to have thit avocado oalad to

"How do you know?" he asked
in great surprise.
"Ovid Marchmont, don't tell me
that you have been sentimental
enough to have avocadoes sent
from your ru nch for Li! lemay,"
Mr. Vail exelmmcd.
"Why not? Melissa, can you not
leave to Li lit-may and myself our
memories? We are not young, like
you, my dear."
"Ovid, that sounds os though
you were making fun of nie."
'I am not, Alclim. One never
makes fun of those things that one
everences and adn.ires."
"The old fellow Is harder hit
than even I thought," Harold Ken
nedy said to himself as he smiting
ty led the way to the elevator with
the words: "Here is where we
march en manae uon Murchniont's
California avocadocs."
"And wc are going to have
them served in true California
fashion at the beginning of the din
net. was Llllemay'a command.
The party made a sensation as
It entered the dining room.
".Mercy, look at the Jewels:
Who nrc they? They must be
some personages from abroad," re
marked a woman to her escort.
"No," he answered with a smile,
it is only the entourage of an oil
queen and a moving picture actor
from Hollywood"
Liileinay hcud the comment
and with a haughtier reserve than
usual walked to the table tet aside
for them.
She was silent and preoccupied
all through the dinner. Much to
Marchmont's disappointment ihe
hardly tasted her avocado salad.
At last the party left for the
review which seemed to LlUemay
to be Interminable.
She was thinking all the time
about her mother unJ Harold Ken
nedy. Once he enught him look
ing at htand there wns an ex
prtiwlon in his eyes which ma
her think th.it he was curious
about her. Instantly she smttetl
back at him. A plan sprang fuil
fledged Into her mind. She decid
ed she would pique HiiroUl Ken
nedy's curiosity and interest, 'i'hen
he would tell hl.n what she had
done and why she had .loae it. It
never entered the' glii's head th.-.t
mort.ils make mistakes when they
try to play gods which rule the in
most Uvea of hum. 'm lefn?M. It
never entered her mind that the
blow might break her- mother's
heart. She did not realize that the
plan appealed to her as feasible
because unconsciously she wanted
to wreak upon Harold socio of
the hate and de.p:ilr that Itoberl
McLean had called up In her.
Mrs. Vail had not noticed her
daughter's silence. Neither v;i:i
she aware thit Ovid Marchmont
too was taciturn, and that hLi
acquiescence to going, on to the
dance nftcr the review was w-oak.
Carefully she patched up the
ravagre of hr make-up ami told
herself that the day h:d taken
much out of her. She was long
ing for the elufp mid rest of her
lover's arms in the dance. So she
hurried them along.
The mor-ent the .arty was seat
ed she held out her r.amls with a
Uttle gesture of appeal to Harold
and he clasped her whirled her
from the rinc-iule table out upon
the palished floor.
" You see, Li ilemay," observed
Marchmont in an interval when
Miss Nort.m was looking the oth
or way in interested observation.
'yes. but I'll not let him have
her. It is easy to see that he is
after her money. He shall not
make her unhappy."
"X myse'f, would not let him
have her if I thought that," said
Marchmont hoitutly, "but you
must know, LlHemay, that earin?
for your mother as I do and know
ing that I would be glad to take
her and work for her if she did
not have a penny, X can not see
why sne would not be attractive
without mnney to any n.an, young
or old."
"Oh, I didn't mein It that way
Lilt. -may tuii, ftcLng rebuked.
The dance ended and Melissa
Vail came hack to the table, flush
ed and radiant.
"There," she exclaimed, "I am
entirely rested. Lillemay, you mu.t
dunce with Harold, you will think
yon are floating in space."
The girl causht the man's eye
and her lip curled, "t noticed he
danced n'most as well as a 'gigo
lo.' "
Harold Kennedy stnrted at the
insult. He seemed about to say
something. Uut the music be
rjinnii g again, he almost lifted Lil
lemay bodily from he chair.
As he whirled her away he whis
pered: "Why is it necenary for
you to insult me? Don't you want
our mother to have a little happi
ness after her long years of work
and sacrifice for you?"
