FISHIN'.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.


You feel the delicious languor of boy
Food stealing over you. Nature wooes
you to her bosom. You want to loll in
the sun. You want to dig a little in
the ground. The ripple of distant wa
tiers lures you. OF sudden you
straighten your shoulders and emit
this pronunciamento:
I'm goin' fishin'."
when one is under that sort of i'm
pulse, it is proper to cut out the final

There can be no doubt you have cor
rectly diagnosed the ailment. The
symptoms are unmistakable. Your
disease is "spring fever''-plus.
The prescription is specific. 1t is the
recipe Simon Peter used when he said,
Il go a-fishing"
Well
You get out the tackle. You don an
old suit and fix it. 1t is not elaborate,
that outfit. No fancy reel for you.
You are no professional. Just bam-
boo pole with the old fashioned string
and cork and lead. And as for bait?
You dig for worms in the back yard as
you did when you wore knee breeches.

car as far as it goes and walk the rest
of the way. Walk is scarcely the
word. You SLOUGH over the countryside.

not care. By degrees your pole droops
into the water. You have forgotten
what you came for,

just wanted ''to go fishin'," that was
all. And when you go home empty

your "fisherman's luck" why, you are
content. You have had your fun"

You wanted to get away from every
body. You wanted to loaf and invite
your soul. You were tired of the buzz
of business and the clash of civilized
things. You heard the call of the wild
And nobody saw you and nobody
bothered you as you nodded and
dreamed over your fish pole. And you
dreamed of a little mite of boy who
fished with hickory switch and pir
hook long long ago. And you dreamed
but it's nobody's business what.
1t was nature calling to you and say
ing to you what science in these las
days is saying to all humans: IRE

bent will sometime lose its spring"

A NARROW ESCAPE.

The passengers on the New York

night. An axle on one of the drive
wheels broke and Engineer Culbreath,
of Meridian heroically staid at his
post of duty and applied the air brakes,
which soon brought the train to a
standstill without the loss of life. The
accident occurred near the city.

Basket Ball News
Wet Their waterloo

The big game was played as advertised
Monday evening ana the local fans are
still wondering how it all happened
After 33 straight victories, two of whic h
| were with the Goddard team la season,
1t is no great wonder that many of P. AS
admirers-and, by the way, they don't
| all live in Morrisvile-should have felt
rather confident of the 34th. But it was
not to be. The bunch from the Granite
city were after the scalps of the cham
pions and by putting up the hardest fight
ever seen in the local Gymnasium, they
won out by score of 20 to 16. To be
sure it was not basket ball they were
playing all the time. but no one who was
there will deny that there was something
of special interest doing from the time
tho referees whistle first footed until
the last blast from the time-keeper's fog
horn announced to the spectators that it
was all over that is to say as far as the
players were concerned. OF course
there are various opinions regarding the
merits and demerits of the game and
some of the decisions of the referee.
That's natural. But the fact remains
that P. A. has been defeated once in the
past two years and the boys are taking
their defeat in the right spirit and will
make Goddard hustle if they repeat the
act at Barre ON March 6. In the contest
Monday night "Joe" Weafer played a
star game for P. A. and in spite of the
fact that Roy Stafford was handicapped
by lame knee, he put the usual snap
into the game and the other players put
up great fight. For the visitors Heath
and Spaulding did splendid work and
are without question the cleverest for
wards ever seen in visiting team ON the
local floor.
The game was witnessed by over 500
people, which is much the largest crowd
ever seen in the building. Large loads
came from Hardwick. Hyde Park and
Stowe. This is the way they lined up
