When the bloom is on the apple,
And the dogwood robed in white;
When the redbud shows its color
And the water is just right;
When the fleecy clouds are filling
With the gentle southern wind,
am almost always willing
To leave Office cares behind,
And just naturally fall to wishing
That the times were not so tight,
AS I'd like to go a fishing,
For l know that they would bite.
DR.. Hoss is the happy possessor of
an elegant fishing rod, the handiwork
of Capt. McPherson.r 1t is a rod of
three joints and a hand piece, the lat
ter made of laurel, the first joint OF
Usage orange, the second of ash, and
the third, or tip, of hickory. The rod
is nicely trimmed with nickle ferules
and guides, and is an elegant bit OF
work. The Captain has quite a repu-
tation as a maker of rods as well as
that of a skillful handler of the same.
