The blue ribbon for Capitol fish stO-
ries has been awarded to the head of
one Of the departments on the fourth
floor for the season, and sworn state
ment has been signed by the other as
pirants for that particular trophy that
they are all through and will be con-
tent to rest upon such laurels as they
may have won in the past. These men
are all gifted in the art of telling fish
stories, and some of them are past mas
ters, but to every man there comes
time when he is outdone. and that time
CANT to bunch of three or four yester-
day morning. The story in question
was somewhat of a novelty. inasmuch
as it was not told for the purpose of en-
tertaining those within earshOt of the
narrator. but as a plain statement Of
facts The subject was on fishing and
TIE event occurred at the time of the
Civil War. and even though it might
have been considered in the light of
bit of ancient history, it still went to
show that there were fish stories In
those days. The one who told the
story bears the title Of Commission
err" but in Difference to his modesty the
rest Of the name is omitted. The story
itself was simple i'm detail and merely
consisted of the statement that the
commissioner and three others went on
q fishing cruise of one week in the
neighhorhood of Isle au Haul, and that
on a certain day. in two hours fishing
off Bull rock, the party caught 250
Goldfish. The statement would have
gone unchallenged had not one OF the
clerks who is an expert on mathemat-
les seized the opportunity for doing a
little figuring. from which he deducted
that the party in order to have caught
$50 fish in the time given would nave
| had to land about LIP fish per MIN
ute. and that IL the fish weighed on an
average five pounds each, as stated by
the commissioner the total catch would
have weighed at least 2150 pounds.
There was another clause to the story.
| which told of the purchase of a 60
mound dried Goldfish which furnished
food for the purchasers family for one
wear. and upon which the mathemati-
clan also figured, but the laurels due
the commissioner for the first part OF
the story are sufficient to protect MIN
from all future aspirants.
