Show tame and plentiful that fishers have to keep their bate buckets covered to keep them from eating eat-ing out of the pail that they may enjoy the sport of catching them. We have met with some instances where fish have grown very tame and their docile natures na-tures have been taken advantage advan-tage of and turned to usefulness. We recall one instance of where, up at old fort Randall, along the Missouri, on the border between South Dakota and Nebraska, during the early days the Government Gov-ernment officials had a big old catfish they used as sort of a submarine for hunting water moccasins with which to supply Uncle Sam's wards on the reservation reser-vation with footwear. And they say that when he was off duty and the soldiers happened down along the bank where he hung out, he would sail in along shore, hump his back up out of the water and wiggle his tail, much after the fashion of the old house cat, as a signal that he wanted his back scratched. But we have just received a wireless from Postmaster Faust, who is on an outing at Fish lake, that there is an old brindle cow and a big salmon trout up at the lake, which are working in perfect per-fect harmony for the good of both. Mr. Faust says the old cow recently lost her young calf, her udder paining her, she went to the lake and stood in the water to cool it, when the trout discovered dis-covered the milk oozing from one of her teats and following it up to its source proceeded to satisfy himself, much to the relief of the old cow. He states that this performance now takes place every day and that the cow comes twice each day to let the trout have its feed and If it happens hap-pens to be detained in some other part of the lake the old cow stands there and calls until it comes for its meal. - .
