THE NEW AND THE OLD STYLE
"Pop her through, boys; lively now" the
farmer father would say when corn planting
began, ''for just as soon as the corns in the
ground you can have a whole day a-fishin'."
And then all the fortnight's work would be
glorified for the eager boys. The first
,ii&IOught WAS for ''a good spot for fshin'
wtormsn Certain places about the garden or
orchard were fer some reason famous for
angle worms An old tin bucket was the IA
vorite to hold the bait The heavy old hoe,
often hammered out Of discarded mill saw
by the rural blacksmith, was the instrument
for unearthing said WORMS, which were
placed in fresh earth in the bait bucket that
they might retain life and health during the
brief term remaining for them, till they
should be impaled to tempt the scaly prize.
There is an old and not very appetizing story
told along the Wabash about once noted
fisherman whom a neighbor found one day.

Halo, Mr.. Smith, whatcher doin'F
''Fi-f-f-n" fishingl
"Why don't you speak plainl Whatever
got in yer mouth?

The old fellow had formed a sudden design
TO fish on seeing the creek, had dug his bait
with stick and was holding the reserves in
his mouth till he should need them. There is
no other case of a man so devoted to fishing.
LOOKING FOR SIGNS.

"WHAT YOU GOT N YOUR MOUTH"
Keewattin wilderness, extending from Lake
Superior to the Arctic circle, rise thousands
of little streams which in the early growing
season are lavishly supplied with bugs,
worms and flies which fall from the rapidly
growing vegetation. The result is that the
fish ascend these streams by millions, and in
the shallow ripples it often seems to the OBJ
server that they actually crowd each other
in the stream. One is not, however, re-
quired to believe that statement of an Eng
lish tourist that he could have walked across
the Winnipeg rapids on the backs of the
white fish"

Any observing man could tell when it was
a good day for fish to bite The best time
was just after ''cool SPELL" when the sun
rose clear and warm and there was light
wind from the south. Then the eager bass
would almost jump out of the water to get
at the bait. Sometimes the day was doubt
full, and very light indications would decide
it Though the most sensitive felt no wind,
yet if the smoke far above the housetop
swayed to the north, it was favorable; if to
the south, mo bites today" was the verdict
The most delicate woman might not notice
the difference in the air, but the fish knew it,
and lost their appetites accordingly.

Maryland's Electors to Meet Again.

Notwithstanding all the preeautinn and

Maryland electors for President and
vice President II the United States. A
special dispatch from Washington 10 the
BALTIC san says: Slight informaliiy has
been discovered in connection with the
certificates of the Maryland presidential
electors, which were delivered 10 the
President OF the United States Senate
last week by Secretary Purnell. The Re.

electors shall seal up the certificates so
made by them. and certify upon each
that the lists of all the votes Of such
State given for President, aud of all the
votes given for Vice President are con.
tanned therein" 1t appears that the

lawful endorsement upon the outside of
the sealed package containing the certifi

signatures as required by law. The pack
