Two men decided to 20 fishing.
They spent one whole day fixing up
boat and tent and tackle. That even
ing they hauled the outfit several miles
to little lake. They pitched the tent,
got supper, fed their team, launched
the boat and got everything In readi
ness for an early morning fish. In the
morning about daylight they grabbed
their tackle and rods and the only
quart Of whisky left and made for the
boat. While one Of the men was row
ing the boat the other was puttering
around trying to get his tackle in |
shape. Accidentally he kicked the |
bottle of whisky and broke it. Every
drop was spilled. The one who was
rowing grew white with rage. He
looked daggers at the other fellow.
The one who spilled the whisky felt
crushed. There was long silence.
Finally the man at the oars said .sOh,
hell: Let's 90 home" And they pulled
Tor the shore, gathered up their tent,
boat and other truck and went home
having made single cast for
! bass.
