GREAT IDEA FOB ANGLERS.
Gordon Heights Fisherman Uses little
Silver Sleigh Bells


There was some great sport at Gordon
Heights this morning. on the pier whera
the little ferry-boat runs from to penns
grove The fun was all created by a
we'll dressed angler, who seemed to en-
JOY It just as hugely as did the crowd on
the pier.
He was fishing from a boat and his
tackle consisted of a small deepsea, two
hooks. liue, a wooden dobber. two
umbrella rods and three sleighbells OF
the soft. silvery kind that makes the
heart of many Wilmington girl throb
with JOY on snowy night.
Two of the bells were attached to the
extreme end of the umbrella rods, while
larger one was attached in the middle
Presently he got nibble. Ting
tingle-ling sounded out the little bells
ON top The angler only watched
Then presently the two little bells rang
out vigorously in concert with the large
bell. The angler jumped and pulled
his line up rapidly. A white perch
dangled on one of the hooks.
But the greatest sport OF the morning
was when an old eel got hold Of hook
and started up sleigh bell polka. He
didn't pull hard enough for the large
oell-the signal TO pull up-unti he had
swallowed both hooks and started away
stopping the polka short by pulling the
bells und r water.
