THE FLATBUSH SKYLARKS ARE SINGING

Not all the distractions OF a growing

LAoAINE,a CAnada, May 2o-The streams

For instance, on tho Little Poroupins In

The trout was OF such unusual size that
It caused busy professional man to leave
important duties and to make an expedition
to the old dam few days ago. He cir
cumvented the wary old fish by device
learned from poachers in tho mother
country.
He fastened strong fine wire to a coarse
sewing machine needle which has its eye
near the middle, and upon this needle he
threaded a pair Of dainty, we'll secured
worms. Carefully passing the tip Of the
rod to which this bait was attached into the
hiding place, he held firmly to his running
tackle, and when, as he expected. the trout
bolted the needle, drew ID as quickly as
possible from between the uprights Of the
dam into the pool, whore 1t might be fought
more commodiously.
The fight itself was q curious one, for
instead OF running. the enraged old trout
came to the surface and there thrashed
around and around in a circle, with a pro-
digio amount OF splashing. until its
strength was exhausted, and he was brought
