II ia indeed marvellous how many things
are needed by party that Is gong a.' ',,
fish. One man going alone Will merely pu'
a big cracker in one pocket ana. small h'eh
in the other; but let the man take unto nun
self con panion and straigntway lne eA
peditionary stores are increased aoou'
twentvfold. and the solid comfort that the
couple take in packing that basket could not
possibly be indicated by the vulgar stsndaro
of money. And the tackle, too-what does
catching fish amount to when compare
with tie satisfaction of getting ready 10
catch him? To take six.inch trout, worm
at Fulton market about twenty i've cents,
man will buy rod that is dirt cheap AT
twenty-five dollars; for windlass or reel
with which to haul the monster up
from the deep he will pay the
price of good watch, while the
feathers of which his artificial flies are made
cost him more than the feathers on his wlies
Sunday bonnet. And what glorious fun IL
it to fad just the right place to t.a! on d
trout book this place is always little tur
-atscr uc, until the source OF the IlooK is
reached after witch it is little lurther
down; On pond the best place IS always
little tur her along the shore. La eLher
case the Iesut is thai the fisherman always
WORKS back 10 the exact place that ne star'eu
from. and when he learns what he has been
doing he reaches that sublime conoitioh oi
MUD where words are utterly unequal
TO the expr, s.ion of emotion. Chance and
charge, too, combine to make rare surprises
for The fisherman. Let the besrer OF The
lunch basket drop his burden into the water,
even if merely by accident, aid the party
will have meal such IS they might Visit res
tsurants from now to doomsday, without
stumblipg upon. Then there is the chance
of rain, which always makes the hsherman's .
clothing fit him 60 closely, and the chance OF
missing stage or train, and of finding ones
self many miles from home with the paper
portion of bis money all soaked into q Wad
of pulp. No fish are needed to make the act
of going fishing the most extraordinary
change from everyday life that can be had
for given amount of money.
1t is very often tie case that one has to go
