A Heavy Fish Story.

Frank Buckland, who was my cousin told me
this story. he belonged TO fishing club on
Inc Than which held its meetings once a
week, and the chairman for he evening was
the one who had caught the heaviest fish. On
one occasion a Nj. Jones was The fortunate IN
dlYi0ual. II was he first time that he had
earned he honor ana be was very proud of il,
though his prize fish had only been barbel.
One OF tile members of lDe club was unable 10
stay for dinner and asked Jones for the FISH to
take home with him, as 1t was NOT 10 form part
OF The menu. He consented, though rather uu-
Willingly, and nothing was heard of the matter
Till the next meeting, when Buckland CHANGED
10 be present.
"a curious thing happened about that barbel
which Jones gave ME last Saturday" observed
It's recipient; cit had swallowed little pike"
You viii not make me swallow that" OBJ
served Buckland, confdcnuy. "A barbel could
not do il; ITS conformation fOrbdS 1t.'
You may iheohZe as you ike" returned the
other. "but l must De allowed 10 believe the
evidence OF my senses. | saw the jack taken
out of tn bai bel with nv own eyts."
Il don't believe IT," said Buckland.
The conversation, In fact. growing very
warm when Jones broke in with, Don't quar-
ri, genlemeu; you are both OF you right. The
fact Is. was so afraid that somebody might
catch a heavier fish than / that l poked ihe
lille jack down the barbels throat Wi my
