THEY'RE GOING FIsHING.-Ex-Scna-
tor Wade Hampton and Congressman
Amos Cummings are arranging fish
ing trip for Mr. Cleveland and them
selves. They will not tell where they
are going. but in few weeks the trio
will leave Washington for some point
where the fish are supposed to be biting
well. The President has new fishing
device which he wants to try. 1t is a
little bottled. shaped apparatus opened
at both ends and surrounded by eight
formidable hooks. A live minnow is
put into the bottle, one end corked up
and The decoy is launched into the wa
ter. where it floats while the minnow
wrigglcs gayly in his native element.
4 bass is supposed to see the minnow,
make dash for it and is caught. Mr..
Cleveland says the beauty of his new
device is that he can fish all day with
one mipnow, and the minnow can en-
iov il rs much as the fisherman.
There is nothing Mr.. Cleveland loves
so much rs fishing. He can sit in a
boat and angle for hours without get
ting a bite, and apparently enjoy it.
Mr.. Cleveland never curses when the
fish don't bite. In his opinion, there is
but one time when fisherman is ex-
cusable for resorting to an oath-that
is when he loses a fish after having
hooked him and pulled him to the side
of the boat.-AHdnta Constitution.
