The boys are always digging for bait,
and If they are not posted they may
find their search fruitless, or, baitless,
rather.
Angle worms may be found in any
moist, mucky soil where sod or trees
or bushes are growing, but you must
dig around the roots, the banks of u
river or lake being capital places for
the search.
Best to capture frogs, search for
them in the marsh grass not far from
grassy ponds; but hunt early in the
morning or at dusk in The evening,
when the dew is heavy.
You can usually find crayfish in clay
soil that is moist, where they dig holes
resembling snake holes, and can be
tempted out by chunk of raw meat,
which you may tie to long piece of
string and drop into the hole. When
you feel tug at the string, slowly pull
the meat out and the crab will follow.
Fat white grubs, the best of all
spring bait, may be found in quantities
in decayed logs and stumps, or in that
portion Of the barnyard compost pile
which lies next to the side Of the barn.

The Sheriff Surprised

Sheriff Wagner, of Union county,
residing at Lewisburg, was awaken
ed early Thursday morning by a
vigorous pounding on his door and
AN urgent appeal to be let in. He
was considerably astoundcd on COM
ing down to find this late caller was
Elmer Hassenplug who, with another
prisoner, escaped from the Jail last
week. TIE sheriff had Teen scour-
ing the country in the effort to re-
capture the fugitives, and his sur
prise was great at the voluntary re-
turn of Hassenplug. The explana-
ton given was that he was tired of
wandering about the country, hiding
in sheds and outbuildings, with
scarcely anything to cat and the fear
of being seen and recognized.
