Last summer I went fishing In Cut-Off Lake, north of Omaha, at one time a part of the Mis souri Itlver. I hauled up a big trout. How that trout got In Cut-Off Lake is a mystery, because trout are scarce in that whole section of tho country. I knew the only way to make my friends believe me when 1 told them I caught tho trout In the lake was to take It home alive.

A cheap carriage nnd an even cheaper set of harness also were pur chased and he started home with his new inquisitions.

Half an hour was spent in a puddle and another half hour In get ting nut of a ditch. Finally Ualdwin reached home and a congress of horse experts was called.

Faunce, president of Brown University, thinks religious sentiment, as measured by church-going, is on the wane. In the American Journal of Theology, issued at the University of Chicago Press, he says: "The moral awakening which has taken possession of the country has had a re-actlve effect on devout re ligion. "A wave of social consciousness Is now sweeping over our land, and, nt tho same time, there is obviously a wave of recession from public wor ship. The tide of corporate endeavor is at the full, but the tide of corporate devotion mysteriously ebbs. This dis inclination exists not alono among the Irreligious or immoral; It exlBts most obviously among the devout and the thoughtful." Prying Him Up.
