UNCLE JASE'S MEMORY FAILS
AND THE MAN FROM NEW YORK
rs THE SUFFERER.


II May or May Not Have Been Because the
visitor went Fishing for mass without
the Proper Accompaniment on the
First Occasion That .Jase Guided Him.
LAcKAwAxEN. July 22.--"The way IL
happened to como was." said the man
from the Kaob country, sthe young feller
from New York was up last season an
he had about the glistenest an limberest
an shinyest fish pole ever seen, en- green
an yaller an pink an blue an streaky
dy hooks. an silver an brass an copper
trolls. an lot o. tho outlandishest rubber
critters that over crop or crawled or dug
or swum or few. Arter ! had looked these
ariazin' critters over ] says TO the young
feller:
Sonny says u you'm goin' to put
any O. these here things in the water fer
bass says. take an axe along with you.
fer bass is queer, an when they clap their
eyes on these contraptions an skite outen
the pond an climb trees to GIT away from
'em you'll need the axe to cut down the
trees to gether in your FISH, / says.
90 course this was only little bit
o tockyiarity on my part, but the young
feller turned considerable huify, an he says:
think sof' says he. Well. what
think is says he. that all need Of an axe UP
here would be to hammer little gumption
inter some o. you fellers' conksF says he.
But only jest laughed an says I
shouldn't wonder but what that mowt
be so. an never hesitated > minute to
recommend Uncle Jase az the very feller
he ought to have to take him In to the pond
where he was goin' hshin'. eight good
miles back in the woods. Uncle Jase
bein' willin' he hooked up his hoss TO the
old blackboard an away they went, amazin'
fishin' tackle an all.
Uncle Jase thought, o. course. an SO all
on us did, that bein' fisherman the young
feller'd stop q spell at Moses TO sort o.
fortyfy him an Jase fer the trip, II bein'
hard tn an guard ag'in tim tired on tho
way by takin' little somethin' along In
his pocket, but II he didn't drive right by
Moses without ever even castin' an eye
that way you kin eat me! An why Uncle
Jass didn't turn round an come back that
minute an cay he'd happened to think he
couldn't git away fer to 60 fs q wonder
that has been maxim VI talk about II ever
sence. But he didn't, an on they went.
They was gone two days, an when they
drove In an come right on past Mose's
ag'in without the young Teller from New
York oastin' even an eye that way, same as
afore. we seen Uncle Jase had q rankin
right up an got the Eddy stage fer the rail-
road keers without even as much a. stayin'
long enough to tell US what luck he'd had.
But Unole Jase, hayin' fer wunst shed that
grin O. his'n.. an looEin' glummer than q
tombetun, got his tongue arter the young
faIIar had 0ona an AayQ
yes, he Gays, he paid me all right, but
ner comm, says he, an he didn't have
snootful with him in case o. somethin'

Didn't he ketch none at all7' says we.
s'Ketoh nonsi' says Uncle Jase. Why.
he slathcred an slashed them files O his'n.
an when I sse 'em narfn' through the air
but think how fort'nit L was for us that
Natur' vas kind an fergivin'. fer else she'd
rix her dander at sight O. setch things iyin'
In her face an dsfyin' her, an mebbe
squashed us down or Of .ornsthip'. An he

much as could b that What you said about
hayin' an axe. was goin' to come true. AT

"An' he KEEP that up fer the hest part O.
the two days. says Jase. an then he wound
up his line, an lookin' at the pond In oon-
sort way ssy f se' III hs osS. ssy: .sns,
them bass is sartinly the queerestl- says Sc.
'Queerl' says he. why. they'm dingna-
tion idjitsl' says he.'
AN with that he told Uncle Jese to hook |
up an fetch him back. which Uncle Jase
an gittin' deeper yit when the young feller
didn't mover even cast bis eye to'rds Moses
10 they come by ag'in. 30. considerin'
everything. We was took back quite q

al but Uncle Jass. Uncle Jase stin had |
that rankin in his boozum,. cuttin deep. |
an maturity was q little offish an hufy |
With him. but the young fellsr was clipper
to one side an begun to talk with him We

But pinin' as we all was to know what |

With him this time 'cept bis fish pole.
Uncle Jase is goin' TO git me my bait

here is,' says he. an tore re could think
'ur enough to ask him what in tho world

With his hose an wagon an his grin. an
,ff they went. Right by Moses they went,
he young feller not even glancin' that
way. an then shook my head harder n

Now know I'm goin' to be sorry fer
hat young feller Evander.' says.
AN Evander says:
'Danl says he. it's too bad
well. we lest cot there an wondered an
wondered whatever that bait fer bass
