rain has fallen thick and fast during the past

condition OF the country would be such as TO
insure the birds ample padding room in every
slough and pond djacent TO the grain fields.

Rain or shine il matters not which TO the

for the enjoyment OF days sport he is off.
There will be rush to-day for certain points
on the lines OF different railroads. near which
the disciples of the long since departed Wal
ton will stand like sentinels watching for
hours perhaps for that sudden dip of the RODS
tip and the singing of The reel which means
That war has been declared at the end of the
line.
Ten or fifteen minutes OF royal sport follows
ana then comes the landing OF the silyerside
beauty which frequently means joy or anger TO
the man al the butt of the rod.
Ii gait is not near at hand the safest way OF
landing a large fish is, in the language OF the
pugilist, 10 wait for an opportunity; that is,
when the fish has become thoroughly exhausted,
and by using little good Judgment and care
the trick can be easily ACCOMPLISHED by sinking
the thumb and index finger into the fish's gills.
When gaffng a salmon or large trout care
should be taken that the line is perfectly free
from any possible danger. Frequently on MISS
