FLY FISHING FOR TROU1
Why an Angler Considers It the "E
of All Sports. "
I am Inclined to believe thnt fly II
ng has Its chief and most easily
Inod excuse In the existence of a c
tain fish Salvellnus fontlnclls ,
Bjiuckled trout. Here , Indeed , Is sol
thing tangible , n thing which may
taken In the hand first catch your I
and looked upon. No one seeliu
freshly caught brook trout would i
that It was other than a thing of bo
ty. Its delicate , varicolored rcspl
dcucy Is not equaled by any llv
thing.
The tarpon , the "silver king"
southern waters ; the Atlantic and
clflc salmons , the ouaimnlchc , or In
locked salmon , nnd the grnyllng ct
[ ) rlse practically all the other flsl
excepting the various forms of bri
trout , which may bo said to pose
both beauty of form and coloration ,
cannot be denied that these fish
justifiably praised , but It Is genen
conceded thnt the red spotted br <
trout has nothing to fear from tl
competition. Of the western rnlnbo
cutthroats and steel heads the r
bow Is the eastern brook trout's nt
est competitor , and thnt Is pn
enough for the rainbow.
So here Is one good reason nt k
why fly fishing for trout is consldc
by many the best of nil sports. Si

WITTIEST OF CONGRESSMEN.
Never t Lose For a Reply Hit First
Speech on River nnd Harbor Dill
Filled the House With Ronrs Ros *
From Water Doy to High Place.
Francis W. CuHhnmn , representative
In congress from Taconin , Wash. , who
recently died In New York , attained
two dlitlnetlons while In congress.
One he claimed an hN right by nature ,
that ho was the homeliest man them ,
and the second he wan accorded unnu-
ImouHly , that he was the wittiest ,
There had long been the claim that
Frank Marlon Kddy of Minnesota was
the homeliest man In the hall. Walk"
ing down the aisle one day , Cushman'
claimed the speaker's attention and
iftcr a spread eagle speech that might
nivo prefaced any subject he turned-
ownrd Kddy and said : " 1,00k ua over
compare this face with that ( point *
ng to Kddy ) and tell mo tun I not the
lomeller ? "
Having succeeded to the seat mnilo
vacant by James Hamilton Lewis , the
ncmbcrs were anxious to see vtlint ;
Jim Ham's" successor was like.
They saw six feet of dangling , slim
naiihood , n sober , gloomy exterior ,
with clothing hanging limp and 111
fitting.
They gazed at him for n moment
nnd then , bursting Into a laugh , seine
one snld , "Orcat hcnveim , do they
raise anything but freaks In Washington -
ton ? " To which Cushman replied
drawllngly , "Well , we try to keep
) oce witli the rest of this great coun
try , sir. "
When the river and harbor bill wna
) clng discussed and most of the mem
bers hnd hidden themselves In the
cloakrooms Cushman arose to speak.
No one paid much attention for
awhile. Suddenly some listener awoke
the house with a roar of laughter.
Five minutes Inter the seats were filled
with listeners to one of the wittiest
speeches ever delivered there.
J. Adam Rede , who had a reputation
for humor , was once followed In ono
of his wittiest speeches by Cushmnn ,
who said :
"After listening to Mr. Uedc's speech
I am forced to the conclusion that ray
folks subscribed to the same almanac
that his did. "
After Secretary Hitchcock resigned
from the Interior department Cushnmn
made a speech In which he snld ,
"When the news of Mr. Ilitclicock'a
retirement was sent out there was not
a dry throat west of the Mississippi. "
Telling of his going to congress her
said , " 1 crept noiselessly Into the hall ,
oppressed by the vast gobs of states
manship I knew were to be found on
every hand conscious of my own un-
worthlness except as to the matter ot
depulchrltude , where I knew I was
supreme. "
Now nnd then Cushmnn essayed t < r
flny the methods of the house. On' '
one occasion he said. "A man who In
troduce * n bill here puts his manhood
In his pocket nnd goes trotting down
the aisle to the speaker's room or the
bill dies. "
Sercno Payne , who. then as now ,
was chairman of the committee on
ways nnd means , came In for n special
drubbing at Cushman's hands in that
speech , as did General Charles II.
Grosvenor of Ohio and John Dalzell ,
the speaker's Republican colleagues on
the committee on rules. It was In
that speech that Mr. Cushman gave
his famous explanation of why he was
so thin.
"I have behind me nn honest but In
furiated constituency , " he said , "half
a million worthy , honest , patriotic people
ple , who are demanding , and rightfully ,
that I secure certain needed legisla
tion for them. That Is the pressure on
mo from the rear. Then , In this house ,
whenever I try to secure consideration
of the matters In which my people nro
interested I run up against the stone
wall that surrounds the speaker nnd
the committee on rules. That Is the
pressure In front. And I tell you ,
frankly that between the two I have
become thinner than n canceled post
age stamp. That Is what Is the mat
ter with me. "
One of Cushmau's first speeches
made a bit In the house. In lamenting
the panic of 1893 he said that his con
stituents were so Impoverished by the
hard times thnt they hnd to live on
clams washed ashore until their stomachs
achs rose and fell with the tide.
Hero are a few of Cushman's epi
grams :
"A great many of our citizens seem
to be possessed of the desire to llvo
on the Installment plan too many llvo
swiftly , too few properly. "
"There are too many of us Amer
icans who would rather ride In or
mortgaged automobile , run with bor
rowed gasoline , than walk In the path'
of honorable obscurity. "
The career of Cushman was typically"
American nnd as typically western.
He was born In Iowa In 1807 , got K )
Village schooling , and , with all Ills'
earthly possessions In a small sized
handkerchief , he tied the corners loose
ly across the top and made for the
boundless west. He landed In Wash
ington and became n water boy for a
railroad. Next he was a section hand ,
then a laborer , later a cowboy In Wy
oming , a cook In n lumber camp , a
lumberman , a sawmill hand nnd later
a farmer.
For live years , when times wore
hardest and fees fewest nnd smallest ,
he was n Inwyer In Tncomn.
