ANNUAL FISH POME.

ANNUAL FISH POME. Oh a fellow isn't worried Over anything, I guess When the countryside is smiling
 At the old worlds happiness. For his heart is free from trouble, And his daily cares are light And somehow, he can't be gloomy When the fish begin to bite. Oh, it's hard to keep or working, And it's hard to stay at home When the fields and streams are calling And you're tempted far to roam. There's a whisper in the morning, In the noon and in the night That keeps saying. "Where's your tacllle?"
 When the fish begin to bite. Oh, you hear the waters purling,
 Hear the signing of the trees. And you see the willows bending
 To the passing of the breeze. And you try to frame excuses,
 As, "A rest would set me right, Oh. you simply can't keep busy
 When the fish begin to bite! Then it is that life's worth living,
 If you have can of bait
 With the other necessaries,
 And you don't have long to wait For a pull that makes you jingle
 W ltll l tAloD ol pure uSlisut,
 Just to see the cork a-bobbing
 When the fish begin to bite We are curious to know how long Pittsbrrg's twenty-eight will stay good,
 Almost any funeral procession you see nowadays is apt to be a result of taking them off too soon. A c, Jbwoman was struck dumb while making a speech the other day Just think of it! We desire especially that clubwomen think of it.
