The Catfish Climbed the Tree.

DR.. j. 2. Fitch and Chas. A. HAYES
have been fishing over on Cheat river
and are the victims of the best fish
story of the season. A small boy
over in the mountains told them that
toads made the best catfish bait 90.
ing, and as the gentlemen were out
of bait they hired the small boy to
catch them some toads. The urchin
returned shortly with two stoads''
and as it was dark the fishermen
could not tell they were tree frogs
but they hooked 'em on, set their
poles and went to camp. Next
morning before daylight the Doctor
awakened Charlie and they went
down to the river. One of the poles
was bent almost double and the Doc
tor seized hold and pulled for dear
life at the same time yelling, "Come
on, Charlie! and help me; the cat fish
is whale and has climbed tree"
Charlie hustled up a tree and found
the tree frog sitting compiacently on
limb while the line was tangled
among the branches Then the
Doctor walked to the other pole and
found the second frog sitting on the
end of the pole winking the other
eye at his companion. There is a
little boy over in the mountain who
when he gets sick would do we'll not
to send for Morgantown physician,
and people who do not carry big
life insurance policy and have fami-
lies don't talk about the tree climb
ing species of catfish when the above
gentlemen are in hearing. If you
desire to know more about this ask
the gentlemen by telephone.

from a horrible death on last Friday.

in front of the wheel of the wagon
