cred Here and There.

Peter Shaleen, one of the county officials Of
Chisago county, spends great deal of his
leisure time fishing on Chisago lake. and
always has good luck. He does it this way:
He nearly always takes his flute, fine one,
along with him. He rows to some spot
where fish are plentiful and anchors He
then plays his little flute, and fish of all sizes
and schools will soon appear around his boat
and remain as long as he plays In his words,
the different schools which hate each other
mingle together when he plays, and appear to
enjoy the music. Said Mr.. Shaleen on Satur-
day: II have noticed two or three hundred
around my boat when l was playing. They
like music and this is the boss way to catch
them. Try it sometime when you go OUT
A German band was suggested but this Mr.
Shaleen, who is a reliable man, thought would
not work. Fred Lagerwall and George Falk,
two well-known Minneapolis boys, who are
now ut Centre City have ordered flute and
