TO BACK HIS FISH STORY up.

Mr.. William A. Dukes. of East Orange,
recently caught in Deckus's Pond, near
Boonton. a three-pound bass which he
solemnly AYERS had a swallow, wings, tail
and feathers. in it's throat. The Newark
STAR reports that Mr.. Dukes accounts
for the phenomenon by supposing that the
fish Jumped out of the water and caught
a swallow that was skimming the surface
of the pond. As bass take all kinds of
feathery lures that eXDert fishermen cast
upon the surface of water, the explanation
offered by Mr.. Dukes is plausible. But if
he should be called n nature faker he
might refer unbelievers to that passage in

which the explorer tells how the garpike
catches birds for its dinner by lying
motionless among the reeds with its nose
above the water and drawing down the
