< tile day Harris chanced to be in
St. Paul. He was talking with
(ienerai Passenger Agent I'hnrley
Fee, who said Harris should go to
Montana to catch grayling in a
stream at that time much udver
tised.
Harris said there were no gray
ling in the stream. The railroad
man laughed at him as n Net*.
Yorker who pretended to know
more about a eertain Montana
river than a man whoImd fished it.
The dispute waxed warm. Hai
ris was due in New York on a
certain day. and by taking the first
train west he could have six ' ours
outlie stream and still 1 cepl«is en
gagement. In W* hours he wasou
the stream with a local represen

It rime to the net. and the local
representative of the railroad
fairly shouted:
••Tin—**, there; it’s a grayling!"
“Pack this carefully in moss."
said Harris. -Send it to v<*ur gen
eral passenger agent.” Then - lie
v-i'la-d to tt»e telegraph office and
wir*-*l that official:
“Am ‘ending one of your gray
ling. It’s an infernal old river
whiteflsh.”
Then h<* took the train for New
