The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-07-29

has, under tho influence of Minnesota pure
air, developed into a jolly matron OF 45,
with tho complexion Of q girl of TO- In
fact for pure, clear compilations this country
boats the world, Liver complaints, malar.
Ia, fever and ague, etc, are unknown but
where was | oh yes, ut the lake, and ego.
Ing a fishing" Or. Nyo and Mr.. lIarker
each own sail boats, light little cookie
shells that run like race horses. Tho wind
was fresh and fifteen minutes run found
us on the fishing ground . miles from our
starting point and catching Rock Bass as
fast as a line dropped in water so clear that
ono could SEQ the fish playing around the
hook. For bait, most anything would do,
frogs, clans, pieces of fish, etc. In half
an hour sudden rain sent us scurrying
across the lake TO the friendly shelter OF
the boat house, but with plenty of fish that
were soon cooked over tho camp fire and
tasted Az fish never tasted before.
The next day was the stormiest (only
wind, no rain) over seen on Lake Clitherall
Our little sail boats vonturcd out in tho
morning, but were soon driven in and tho
day for fishing was q failure, A night of
sound sleep is followed by day to be TO
mombered clear, cool and sunny.
At 4 o'clock in the morning Miss Nettie
Shuillebarger and the writer took rowboat
and pulled out to the fishing ground oppo-
site "Old Town." rs Mormon Clitherall is
called, mile and halt from its spruce,
new namosakc, where We dropped anchor
and dropped q line to tho fish in tho pclu
cid depth of tho lake. For an hour tho
sport was magnificent We had no min
nows and the catch was confined mostly to
Rock Bass that took the cut bait readily.
At last my bait was taken with rush that
bent the light lancowood rod down into the
water and know had hooked Il striped
black bass, tho gamest fsh in Western
waters. For five minutes the fun was live
ly and it took the most careful playing to
save rod, line and fish, but patience had Its
reward and felt fully repaid for an early
turn out when fine five pound Black Bass
was landed in the boat This was followed
by several others, smaller, of the same sort,
with q sprinkling of Pickerel and Pike,
when We drew in the anchor and pulled
for the shore and good breakfast at the
hotel. The balance Of the day was spent in
the same way on Eureka Bay with din
ner of fried and baked bass on the pebbly
beach of "Arcadia Islapd,' at the edge of
tho primoval forest covering 1t where the
foot of the white man had never before
trod, in whose shade Mrs, b. found pat
ent ink pencil which is ample evidence that
tho Indians were not nearly 80 far behind
the times as we have been lod to suppose.
The afternoon WAS passed sailing over the
lake, much to the disgust Of one lady OF
tho party who shall be nameless, who was
''scared to death and not having bit Of
n;'-afraid to stay in the boat for fear OF
an upset and afraid to stay on shore for
fear of the imaginary bears that were Turk
ing in the woods waiting to make meal
of some unprotected female. AS we
board the train after last goodbye to
hospitable friends who have treated us 80
kindly, all express wish TO return again
land some willy to these "beautiful bowers"
another year and enjoy over again the pleas
urcs Of the past three days
