A FISH STORY.

Correspondence of THE CALEDoNIANl
Dear Mr.. Editor;
| learned trout fishing over in
Hardwick from my father. Wore
straw hat with a hole in it, carried
worms in my pocket and fished with
a three cent line, half cent hook and
pole of cedar with bark peeled off.
Two weeks ago at Moosehead
Lake, Maine, | was fishing with
live minnow, six and one-half ounce
split bamboo rod with reel on it. |
had but a moment before caught
root and my guide had moored the
canoe out into deeper water. I'm
agine my surprise when |, thinking |
was again fast, brought to the sur
face a monster trout, who went out
of sight with a sweep of his tail
which was as broad as your grand
mas palm leaf fan.
Away he went with a rush, the
guide and | after him, hot foot, the
reel screaming lee! and the rod
an almost complete circle.
Just four turns of an eighty foot
line left when he slowed down
Then down he went, and with all
Icould do | never raised him an inch.
For fifteen minutes, again wild rush
es and desperate attempt to get
to get under log, which brought
my heart into my mouth.
For thirty-three long anxious
minutes we had it before the tuck
was out of him. When "Orrin''
scooped him into the canoe woke
the sleeping echoes from Mt. KENO
to Kathdin with yell that would
turn a Comanchee Indian green with
envy.
Just think of a trout a yard long
(thlrty-six inches), seven inche:
through and eleven inches wide
weighing twenty-one pounds anc
ten ounces
"Orrin' said he Guessed they'C
lump side ways when they sot eye
on tibet critter doawn to Bosting ant
from what hear, they did.
Yours in haste,
!. c. French, M. D.
Since receiving the above, Dr.
French has sent us a clipping iror
Forrest and Stream. which will pei
haps help the incredulous to bellev
the story. 1t is as follows:
"A 21.pound lake trout in one {
| Dame, Stoddard & Kendall's sho'
, windows one afternoon last wee
t attracted the attention of very man
, passers by. The fish measured ju,
{ one yard, and was taken at Moos
: heau Lake by DR.. c. French,
| Boston. 1t was caught in trolllr
on a 4 % Carlisle round hook, al
+ took fully one halt hour to land.
n believe it is one of the largest lake
II taken from these waters, at least
can find no record ct a larger ifs
e and | think it tops the list. T

Business Affairs.

"a firm and hopeful tone ruled the stock
m arket during the past week, and there was
again general advance in the price OF staple
commodities. Petroleum alone fell off-a
curious fact. in the face of smaller stocks on
hand and a lessening production. On the
other hand. hides, leather pig iron. steel,
copper zinc, wheat, flour, corn, oats, cotton
and coffee all tended upward. In iron the
situation has become particularly strong
one, and Southern and Western irons have
advanced so cents a ton"
The above is from the Boston Journal of
May 27, 1895. 1t will be noticed that no
mention is made of COAL. In fact Coal is
rather LOW just now; at least we. think so,
and have acted upon it. There is some talk
about Combine" of the Coal Railroads
and the Vanderbits, to control the price and
output. OF course this means an advance in
price, same as in kerosene oil, etc, and it
might be good policy to buy your COAL
now, and save money.
Call at 20 and 22 Eastern Avenue, and
get prices.
