Funny Fishermen.

In England the boys-and some
times grown men-have a very funny
way of catching fish.
You would never guess what it is,
so l might just as well tell you right
off.
1t was an English boy who told me
about it.
You must catch a goose, he said.
and that is the hardest part. Then
you tie a line which has baited hook
on one end to the goose's leg.
Then let her go. She'll make for
the water every shot, and as she
swims about she, of course, draws
hook and line after her.
Pretty soon a fish bites and maybe
gets hooked.
Then the goose feels something
Juggling at her leg. and she swims
along about as hard as she can, but
this only makes the Juggling worse.
The only way to get away from that
awful something, she thinks, is to get
out of the water.

makes Tor the snore at a rafting

years of age who has travelled 6S,OOv

seven times. He spent last summer
with his uncle in Syracuse, and en-,
tered a school at Arden City, L. L.,
few weeks ago. He speaks and
writes Chinese. French and English.
and his knowledge of geography and
history is remarkable. One day last
summer he visited a man 80 years of
age who had lived in one town for IS
years, and whose travels had been
limited to the neighboring villages.
