Keep q systematic account of all the
money you receive and spend. Be sure
to get receipts for all that you pay out
and file them in orderly fashion, alpha.
betically and by date. Put each years
receipts carefully away when the new

them will depend upon the statute of

within what length OF time suit must

''CanSt thou draw out a leYiathan with

'Iliad," speaks of fishing in these lines:
AS bearing death in the faIlacious bait.

weight
And il is recorded in the odyssey"
AS when the angler. his long rod in hand
On a projecting rock assumes his stand.
Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare,
Then filings the wriggling captives in the
air.
The Romans, Greeks and other races
of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art of angling Plutarch
tells of a prank played by the fair
Egyptian, Cleopatra, while out fishing
with Antony, They wagered on their
angling, and her divers did hang a
salt fish on his hook, which he with
fervor drew up"
The ruined walls of Herculaneum
and Pompeii abound in frescoes of
fishermen. All along the track of his

recreation, showing the gradual inn
provement from the hook of bone and
rude equipment of the cave man to the
elegant accessories and belongings of
the modern angler.
