And forty-seven different kinds Of Aies.
he had read all works on angling and knew
thing or two
OF fish of every shape and every size.
He used a line of braided silk and multi
plying reel,
With German silver mountings all TO
match.
he had a patent landing net and gaff Of
polished steel;
And scales 10 weigh the fish he meant
TO catch.
A freekled country urehin cut a rod from
a birch bough;
He knew no lore from modern angling
books;
He tied bit of'twine to it as well as he
knew how.
And with a nickel bought dozen hooks.
lie had no silken line nor reel, or deadly
pointed gaif,
Nor, fancy tempting flies with hnsel
bright;
But naught cared he; an catch some
fish" he chuckled with a laugh,
And dug can OF garden worms that
night.
The city man and country boy fshed up a
babblng brook.
Where schools of handsome brook trout
trollcked by.
The boy impaed his juicy worms upon
his little hook.
The expert whipped the ripples with
fly.
The man a cleaning trout yanked out at
almost every cast,
He kept 1t up from early morn TO night.
But when that freclIled country boy, dis.

He hadn't had solitary bite.
