A REALISTIC CRITIC.


A Narration an Experience While

Writes Maurice Thompson in the course
of a charming sketch in the latest issue of
America:
What have on the nib OF my pen, max
ing the very ink itch to be made into words,
is the recollection of the Saud Mountain
critic He was genuine mountaineer,
albeit he had, at an early period in his life,
been the editor of a small country paper,
and in all his features. his build, his bear
ing, he showed that he was native of Sand
Mountain, to the manner born.
Six sect tall was Spivy Sims, and as bony
as a hickory shad IN August; he had q face
like Lincoln's, sad, wise, humorous, inscrut-
able, and he wore the thin chin beard of
Brother Jonathan. He dwelt seven miles.

ELLEN Enn," in double log cabin through
which the wholesome mountain air blsw at
will " neither the doors were open or not,
aud his chief articles of diet we're fried
bacon and COW pc s; but Spivy Sims was a
critic, and, like Mr.. Howslls, reslist.
The way by which came to know that
he was a critic and a realist was short and
straight He came up behind me at a
moment when l had four>pound bass
with a full hundred feet OF line out; the
desperate fish was flying out Of the water
about three cubits every five seconds in
spite of all that could do, and was gradu-
ally working its way toward the busy top
of q tree that had fallen into the stream.
Every angler will understand what point
of life this was for dry, matter-of-fact,
IN omantic 70 ce to hit my ear with:
''Pull, Teller, pull; pull i'm right in
Yank i'm right outl Let go or tibet air
switch an grab yer Incl Amt ye got airy
suriffin or Common sense inter yer little
frizzly headl Pull i'm to We an git i'm by
the gll!s!
OF course, not dreaming that any human
being was within a league of me, that voice
made me turn my head. and what else could
happen but five-foot leap by the bass and
a breakawayl You always lose the finest
fish. L made remarks then and there to
Spivy Sims-remarks not complimentary to
him-and he chuckled complacently.
He inquired about my home, the town
that lived in, the size of my family, where
got my flies and other tackle, he cost OF
them, aud finally he put forth the question:
"What is bass wo'th pound in tibet town
wher' ye liver
"Ab ut l5 cents. believe" answered.
"How fur is it { yer town.
"Some 700 miles"
''Kin ye buy plenty o bass in yer town.
go, yes, plenty"
"An' did We come ell the way down yer

"Yes; the fishing is SO fine here"
"What do hit cost ter come yer?"
told him as nearly as could.
An how many poun's O. bass do ye low
ye'll ketchg"
II don't know; don't care Tor that
"Humph! don't keer-doa't keer-don't
kerr"
ION, no; I came for the sport OF the thing
for the fun there is in fishing"
"Well, ef yer amt the ioftiest an reckless
est dern fool at l ever see, my name hit
| amt Spivy Sims"
Such q word as romance was not in that
/ mans vocabulary; he was realistic critic,
and left him in high disgust.
