Now for Trout.
W. E. Meehan, state fish commission
er, with lion. A. k. winttAKer, ot
Phoenixville, a member of the board of
fish commissioners, and the superinten
dents of the eight hatcheries.m.the S.tate
namely: wiinam uuuer, oi uorry ; a.
G. Buller, of Union City ; N. R. Buller,
of Wayne j W. H. Spofford, of Conneaut
Lake; P. II. Hartman, of Erie ; J. R.
Buckhaus, of Philadelphia ; W. H.Haas,
of Spruce Creek, and H. M. Buller, of
the Bellefonte hatchery, were last week
on a trip of inspection of the various
hatcheries for the purpose of ascertain
ing just how many trout fry they would
have for distribution this spring.
All the hatcheries were found in good
condition and the hatch of trput fry has
been a very good one. From very,care
ful estimates the commission figures it
will have for distribution a total of 3,200
cans, or 7,300,000 trout try. These will
be supplied by four hatcheries, as fol
lows : Corry ; 3,503,000 j Bellefonte, 2,-
300,000 ; Wayne, 1,000,000 and Spruce
Creek, 500,000.
The Bellefonte hatchery has now been
in existence so long that the stock of
breeders is becoming too large and it is
the intention of Mr. Meehan to reduce
it somewhat by weeding out the surplus
of bucks as well as some of the older of
the female trout. Just what disposition
will be made of the same has not yet
been definitely decided upon, but it
might be well worth the while of the

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Coun
terman met with a very severe accident
one day last week. While the family
were eating dinner, the mother sent the
little one to the stove for the teapot
cautioning her to be careful, but in some
way she tripped and fell, the contents of
the teapot, which was boiling hot, scald'
ing her right arm to the elbow. As her
mother hurriedly undressed the little
sufferer, the skin from the elbow to the
hand stuck to the sleeve of her clothes
and was slipped from the arm.
With the aid of one of tho latest po

whose office is in the tower, forty feet
from the ground, and all open, facing
he north nnd west. A few facts will
item of Mr. Smi th's trusty position in
the tower. JIIe runs tho elevator or
.carriage that carries tho ice from the
water's edge to tho five rooms, there
being six places where, by touching a
button, a bell is rung in tho tower for a
stop, either at tho foot of the plane or
water's ddge, and one for each of the
five rooms, which shows the necessity of
a trusty man in tho tower with his hand
on the lever. And all this service with
the weather below zero awaiting for
a signal to stop every second.

Of Course He Never 8truck Any La

Los Angeles, Cnl., Feb. 9. Mrs. A.
M. Rhodes of this city, who recently
wrote to President Roosevelt to deny
that her daughter's horse had been
struck by the president while riding
past her In n road near Washington,
has received the following letter from
the president:
My Dear Mrs. Rhodes I thank you for
your letter of the 20th ult., and am glad
to hear from you that your daughter de
nied the Btory that I struck her horse. Of
course l never struck her horse or any
other lady's horse. The whole story was
so absurd as not to be worth denial. Nu
merous stories of this kind are started
from time to time by foolish or malicious
people. Occasionally I am obliged to de
ny them, but as a rule I find It best sim
ply to Ignore them, because denying them
calls attention to them and glveB a chance
to mischief makers to mislead well mean
ing people by further repetitions of the
stories.
