SALMON IN MINNESOTA LAKES. 
Carlos Avery, State Game and Fish Commis¬ 
sioner has decided that as an experiment Chinook 
salmon is to be planted in one of the lakes 
of northern Minnesota. The Commissioner has 
lately returned from California where he has 
arranged for a large supply of eggs. This was 
tried in Sunapee Lake. N. H. and last year 5.000 
salmon weighing , as high as six pounds were 
caught in the lake by sportsmen. 
CHARLIE KNOWS THE DEER BY THEIR 
FACES. 
By Switch Reel. 
"Thet ther’s a gosh danged good ol’ rifle,” 
said Charlie, as he patted his 44 carbine affection¬ 
ately. “She never went back on me but once 
and thet warn’t altogether her fault.” 
We were sitting on a stump by the corduroy 
road waiting for the buck board to take us in 
and we had a buck and a nice big doe to go in 
too. 
“Wen ’uz thet, Charlie,” asked Jud, “the time 
yer fell into the Agglesby’s marsh and plugged her 
full o’ mud?” 
“Naw,” flashed Charlie, “ner it warn’t the time 
you tried to rassle the little buck in the barn and 
spoilt yer long tailed coat.” 
The laugh that followed silenced Jud for we 
all knew that story. It had become a classic in 
the Eastern Adirondacks. Jud had been badly 
beaten and, although not disgraced, yet a men¬ 
tion of the incident always acted as a notice to 
Jud that he was to keep still. 
“Gwan, Charlie. We want to know the story.” 
said Billy. 
“Taint what you might call no story,” resumed 
Charlie, “but along towards the first o’ the 
huntin one fall I an’ Dick Baker was over around 
Grizzly Ocean an’ we struck a good track. Dick 
’lowed he’d put the deer int’ the pond fer me to 
git so I went round to whar the boat was hitched 
and pritty quick I see the deer come into the 
pond. Wen he’d got about half way acrost I 
fired. The smoke hung a leetle but I knowed I’d 
held right so I jumped int’ the boat and rowed 
out to git the deer. Wen I got thar I turned 
around to see an’ thar was the gosh danged deer 
a’ climbin’ into the bushes on tother side o’ the 
pond. I knowed I’d held right an’ so I couldn’t 
tell what was th’ matter. 
“’Bout two weeks afterward I an’ Dick was 
comin along a mile or two frum the pond an’ 
Dick killed a buck. I ses to Dick soon’s I seed 
its face that it looked like the one I lost in the 
pond an’ Dick ’lowed it had horns just the same. 
We hunted it all over careful an’ ther warn’t no 
hole ’cept where Dick’s ball went in an’ I couldn’t 
understand it yit. 
“But wen we got it skun an’ dressed an’ come 
to cut out the tongue there was a leetle round 
hole in that there tongue whar a ball’d went thro 
almost healed up! 
I ses to Dick at I s bet ther was sumpin’ wrong 
with that front sight an’ I pinted the ol’ gun 
at a knot hole 'bout ten rod off an’ the ball went 
about four inches to the right! See? I knowed 
I’d held right wen I covered that deer in the 
watter. Sight was knocked over. Hadn’t fired 
her since the winter before. Knowed it was the 
same danged deer the minnit I see its face.”
