Because of the universal license
which permits Of the stretching of the
truth in telling fish stories the recital
of these narratives is generally greeted
with more or less incredulity on the
part of the hearers. but the following IS
given out as an actual occurrence. ].
II. MOulton, the well-known Wayne
guide, was in the city yesterday, and
in speaking Of the business of the past
summer, said that he had funny ex-
perience while out fishing for bass
with S. c. Hogg, president Of the In
dependent Salt Co.. of Brooklyn. y.
Y, who spends his summers at Wayne
and for whom Mr.. Mouton was acting
as guide. The two gentlemen were
fishing on Pocasset lake. Aug. 16. and
were using yellow perch for live bait.
While Mr.. MoultOn was getting ready
to throw out the anchor Mr.. Hogg
made cast and almost Immediately
the bait was taken and the fish started
to run. Mr.. Moulton, having finished
anchoring the boat, also made a cast.
and his bait was taken quickly. Both
then struck their fish and reeled in, and
when the fish came alongside Mr..
Hogg asked his companion to stand
ready with the landing net, but Mr..
Moulton was just then very busy with
his own fish. Both then started to lift
their fish on board the boat, when to
their surprise they found that one bass
had taken both bait. That bass prob
ably had a good appetite that morn
ing and thinking that he had struck in
to a school of yellow perch made a
dash and got the two bait in quick
succession. The perch were nearly
six inches in length but the bass had
both we'll down his gullet when landed.

Want Credit of Merchants.
The statement rs made on good au-
thority that the merchants of Texas
are having new contracts printed for
next year, requiring cotton farmers
who will ask for credit to pledge them
selves to sell the crop of 1908 as soon
as picked
This is movement on the part Of
the merchants to protect themselves
against the holding proposition.
