} GOT AWAY. 
ONE night recently Mr. Brooks, of Columbus, 
§ hooked a big trout. Everybody watched the fish 
that came out of the water and all declared it 
would weigh over ten pounds. Mr. Brooks had 
nearly two hours’ sport with the old speckled 
beauty, when his leader broke and the fish was 
free. The next morning Mr. Parish’ in casting 
caught his hook into the broken leader and for 
more than an hour had a battle with the monster 
of the pool. He reeled in all of his line, and 
the united leaders were more than twenty feet 
in length, and although he was brought close to 
the side of the boat and ready to net, the leader 
again broke and the, old trout was again free. 
He was seen a number of times later with the 
hook in his mouth, but all are guessing the 
weight and hoping some one of the many fisher- 
men will succeed in netting him.—Maine Woods.

me ONSIN ens LORY: 
H. W. Ossporne, of St. Paul, has sent us a 
clipping from the Pioneer Press. It is a dis- 
patch from Kenmare, N. D., and says: 
“Walter Johnson, the sixteen- -year-old son of 
Peter Johnson, a farmer living about eight miles 
north of McKinney, on the Mouse River, was 
literally torn to pieces recently by a lynx. The 
animal had been seen in the neighborhood by 
several, and one day young Johnson went out to 
kill it, taking a .22 caliber rifle. It is supposed 
that he shot the lynx, but failed to kill it, where- 318 FULTON STREET, = + ~ 
upon it attacked him and killed him. When 
found, the boy’s head was almost torn from his 
body.” 
ROOSEVELT RIFLES. 
A pIsPpATCH to The New York Times from 
Greenville, Miss., says that the Metcalfe brothers 
have received from President Roosevelt twin 
patterns of the rifle he recently shot a bear with, 
as souvenirs of their hunt with the President.
