The friends of a local professional
man are having lots of sport with him
on account of little experience which
he had one day recently. This man is
especially fond of fishing and on this
particular occasion started on a long
tramp across the country to the par
tlcular fishing ground, which he and he
alone knows about, where the fish al
ways bite and the mosquitoes never.
Like n true fisherman he took along
some bait-of the liquid sort. This he
carefully concealed in one of the rub
Der boots which he took along With
him. Whether this was to keep the
secret from his wife or not, history
does not relate. But when he arrived
on the scene of his intended sport he
made the startling discovery that the
cork had escaped, likewise the liquid,
and that he was not only minus bait
but his boot was wet. Under the cir
cumstances he thought it best to return
home without large string of the
coveted trout.
