metephorical i'6ddle and bow" for the time
being, and, ia company with friend, sut-|
fered ourself to indulge in the rare Old
luxury Of q trout fishing expedition. al
though We do not profess to be par ercelI
kence "a" fisherman, nor, in fact, anything
more than mere novice in the line-or|
Of the Cline" if you please, still the re |

topic, consider US posted. We will not
