Just n Fish Story.

We cannot refrain from recording
the most curious capture OF fish that
has come to our notice. The circum
stance was retailed many years ago by
Mr.. Heathcote, one or the great au.
thorities on the fens. A Mr.. Richard.
son of Peterborough was skating on
the bikes when the Ice was very clear.
and he noticed a large pike swimming
IN front OF him. The fish was terrified
by the apparition and swan in froGt OF
the skater until 1t stopped from sheer
exhaustion. The skater broke the Ice
and took out the fish with his hand.
which proved to be a pike weighing
twelve pounds. 1t is story difficult
even for a fisherman or a local histo
rian to cap.-Londop Outlook.

little to say. The causes that have
