KANSAS ATMOSPHERE AND
ILLINOIS FISH PONDS.
[Cor. Kansas City Journal

I
Speaking of climate, said Dick,
-"the climate of Colorado gets away
with Kansas badly. The water in
that country is clearer than the mir
is here. I've seen fish in the lakes
at depth of forty feet, and count
ed their scales. but here the air is
SO dense you can hardly get it up
your nose, and I can't see ny lead
mules more'n half the time"
"Now," said Jack, you ought to
know better than to talk that way;
you've driven the team all day, and
must know by this time that there's
but two of 'em. and they amt
mules, but horses" :"
That's SO" said Ike, "and as for
your clear atmosphere, I've heard a
dog bark twenty miles in Kansas"
Dick drove in silence some time
and then inquired:
"Did any of your fehers ever fish
with seine ?"
The crowd nodded and Dick con-
tinued:
"Don't reckon any OF you ever
had as big luck as I've had. I've
fsbed in the lagoons of the Illinois,
and that is fishing, I tell YOU"
A silence of some minutes elapsed
as we logged over the smooth plain,
the party in reflective mood, when
Dick broke out again:
Speaking of fishing. I've helped
to drag out seventy five wagon
loads at one haul"
"How many?" said Jack
,"Seventy-five."
''But Dick, that's an awful pile of
fish,"
"Cant help it; we pulled 'em out
all the same"
"Why. Dick, that would be a pile
of fish seren hundred and fifty feet
long and"
Cant help it if it's seven hun
dred and fifty miles"
"And three feet wide and"
"No difference about the width"
"And foot deep"
"That's mathematically k'rect, no
doubt; I amt after figures, but
fish,"
"Gentlemen," said Ike, s'this
mans statement is correct. I was
present and carried one end of the
seine myself, and caught fifty BUSH
els of fish in the seat of my
.5reeches."
