One end of the tree was set in the
ground, and the other end was raised
above the ground so that it just
cleared the back of the tallest steer.
The tree was held in place by being
bolted to well set and anchored posts.
The steers seemed to know what these
trees were for before the work of set
ting out was completed. They spent
hours of enjoyment In rubbing them-
selves on these trees.

.1ASSOOED HIS FISH
ANGLER HAS STRANGE ADVEN-
TUEE WITH A BASS.
Line Trailing in the Water Without a
Spoon Captures Good Specimen OF
the Finny Tribe-Escapes When
Brought to the Boat.

George Benz of St Paul is probably
the only man in the country who ever
caught a bass, or came near catching
one, with line en- which there was
not hook bait or sinker. 1t happened
in this way:
The line. silk No 5. had become
considerably twisted in trolling, so
twisted in fact, that it would kink
badly When reeled in; all lines get
that way, though spoons and most 9th
cr artificial bats have swivels on
them.
70 straightcn out the line Benz took
the bait and hook from it and trOled
it behind the beat. 1t is 2E Old trick,
but known to comparatively few fish
ermen The line in going through the
water without spoon on it reverses
the twist and strai2htens out in lit
tie while
While trolling in this fashicil Benz
felt jerk and then a succession OF
sharp tugs With no idea other than
that his line had become fouled by
floating weed or branch he reeled in
slowly.
When not more than twenty feet was
out he became convinced that he had
fastened to a fish in some manner. He
then played it as carefully as he could,
anxious to see the outcome OF the
strange happening.
The fish fought gamely and tried all
it knew to get away, but was brought
in until it showed plainly in the water.
1t was halfpound redeyed bass, and
it was caught about the body near the
middle. 1t IVES brought to the boats
edge all right. but in the attempt to
lift it in gave one final flirt and got
clear, falling back into the water and
dartins away.
When Benz removed his spoon from
the line he left in it's end the plain
loop which is known as the fisher
mems bend. This loop was about four
inches long and when the line was
dragging through the water must have
1Gated open.
The fish either struck at the line, or
was swimming fast when it ran into
the loop, which was just big enough to
permit of the passage of part of its
body. In fighting the rod it kept the
line at stiff tension. and there was
no chance for the loop to slip off.
Benz would have given something
to land that fish, but. &s it was, had an
experience that will never come to
him or to anyone else again. Fish have
been caught, or partly caught, in many
ways, but a red-eyed bass in the loop
Of an unhookes, !nhaited line Is
unique.
