Welch procured 200 diminutive specimens of tho fish tribe from boys who dipped them np from a little stream flowing into Young's bay near Max Wagner's. They were about an inch in length, "and as they waxed fat and grew, time developed the fact that of the 200 minnows, 160 were chinook salm on, and 40 mountain trout. As they grew tho difference was more plainly marked, not only in their appearance but in their characteristics. Tho trout were all right, and appeared satisfied, all of them growing; tho salmon, as soon as they reached much size, became uneasy and were contin ually trying to get away through tne waste pipe, jumping in endeavor to get overho sides, anywhere so that they could got to the salt water, their home. - The trout continue to grow, some of them having attained respectable size; the salmon stopped growing when about six' inohes in length and appear to consume them-selvcs in fretting for salt water. Their habits form an interesting study to .those interested in the matter. Enjoy Life. What a truly beautiful world we live in!

A DYING REPORTER'S SPECIAL. Pathetic Story of a Railway Accident Tony B s Last ''Scoop." It is not so many years ago that Tony B , tho attache of a central Iowa paper, now defunot, rode out from a southern Iowa city, one bright morning, perched daringly on the brake of a flat car that was attached to a "wild freight" and loaded with iron rails. He was like other report ers, made up of vices and. virtues only the first seen by the world, the latter best known by his iutimate friends. He had been in newspaper work for about six year3, was thor oughly capable, and scored more "scoops" than was ever recorded against him. This, in the eyes of the city editor, insured his entrance into paradise. To make the story short, forty miles out from its starting point the "wild" freight, with a leap of madness and a terrible crash, went through a bridge, down sixty feet, and Tony sitting on the break beam." It was over in an instant. Such things don't wait for time to catoh up with them. When the conductor of tho train (the only one uninjured) crawled out of the wreck, his eyes fell first on Tony, ly ing across the side of a dismantled box car, on his chest a heavy rail, his legs crushed, and dying. Beyond him lay a dead brakeman; the engin eer was buried under his machine, and by a large boulder was the fire man with a broken back. Tony was conscious, and when tho conductor reached him asked for paper and pen oil. They wore found in his pockets. Unable to write himself, he dictated this, angrily ordering the men who had come up to let him alene: "C C , Managing Editor Star, , Iewa: Train through bridge at . Was on board and am hurt. Will send full particulars at once. T. B." A farmer was secured, who con veyed it to the nearest station. Then this boy, true to his duty and not flinching before death, suffering frightful agony, and while willing bands sought in vain to release him from his position, dictated a "special" of 1,500 words to his paper. What he4 suffered no one can ever know. It was with difficulty that he could breathe and every gasp cost him a wrench of. agony. But he held death back down to the last few line3, "The killed were " and so on, ending with the name of "Tony B , re porter." As he ended that his eyes filled with tears, and he looked up wistfully at the conductor, who had written the telegram for him, and who himself could not keep his tears back. "Tell my mother," said Tony, "that I-did my duty; and, boys, rush that over the wires for me. It's n 'scoop.' " It went over the wires all right, and it was a "scoop;" but be fore it was printed Tony was dead. St. Paul Pioneer Press. The: Face.
