Adventure Of a
- Jonah's Experience
%,,rhch with the Whale
oOlllloll Duplicated

The aggravating independence of
the black bass in Sand pond up our
way" said Hon. Thomas James Ham,
editor of the Citizen at H, lis ex-
ceeded only by the cool impudence of
the piekerel in those waters, unless it
may be by the tenacity of life Of thin
sunfish. Judging from little Jonah
and the whale sort of play by one
of those pickerel and Sand pond
sunfish that | Witnessed / don't know
but what the sunfish is entitled to
ranking place.
In company with a friend, / had
gone to Sand pond with the intention
of coming home with few OF those
aggravatingly Independent black bass.
We depended on catching our live
bait from the schools of minnows in
the outlet of the pond.
Fishing with tiny mirnow hooks
tied to black linen thread for lines,
we had nearly filled our pail with
bait when my companion hooked q
sunfish. AS he was drawing it slowly
in large pickerel darted out from
somewhere among the thick weeds
at the margin of the outlet and made
a vicious strike at the sunfish Just as
it was pulled out.
THE splash of the big fish's tail as
it turned after its unsuccessful strike
threw the water almost into the boat
The sunfish was quickly dropped back
into the pond, we both being curious
to see If the pickerel would have
the audacity to make another rush
for il.
The little fish had gone scarcely
two feet from the boat, with the hook
in its upper jaw, when the pickerel
promptly showed that ii had all its
impudence with it. 1t shot from its
lair among the tiny pads, where it
had disappeared, and seized the sun
fish.
The momentum of this second dash
carried the pickerel ahead with the
sunfish in its jaw three or four feet
There IL stopped in plain sight of
us and deliberately made its prepare
tons for gorging its prey, giving us
purposely, | verify believe, an exhibit
ton of its processes as well as OF its
utter disregard Tor our presence.
THE pickerel had seized the sun
fish tail first, but by series of quick
jerky movements of its big jaws il
turned the sunfish until its head was
where its tail had been. Then the
pickerel gave gulp or two, and the
sunfish disappeared somewhere in the
depths of the big and impudent fish.
The sunfish seemed to be about
three inches long. After swallowing
its prey the pickersl remained motion
less a few seconds, as II gloating over
its captive and illustrating its con-

tempt for our presence. Then it
turned and started for deep water.
The hook was fast in the sunfish,
and the sunflsh was a foot or so down
in the pickerel's interior, and we could
see no way in which the pickerel
could reach the point it had started
for unless it gave back the hook and
the fish, took them and the boat along
with 1t, or gave itself up to the fish
erman. The first we believed quite
impossible. The second we had our
doubts about. The third we hoped
for.
When the line drew taut the pick
erel seemed to be for the first time
aware that it had got itself into a
situation that might make trouble
for 1t, and for time 1t seemed that
the big and now disturbed fish had
some intention of taking the boat and
US along with 1t after all. The linen
line was small, but very stout, but as
wire smells are not regarded as any
too formidable tackle to have next to
pickerel when he takes the hook,
against that big fellow until he was
captured were by no means assur-
ing.
MY friend and l understood pretty
well the handling of light tackle and
II the pickerel had persisted in retain
ing the sunfish and in his efforts to kid
nap the boat and us he certainly would
have been our meat. For two or
three minutes the big, strong fish was
so handled that the slight minnow line
defied his attempts to snap it in two,
and he was hauled from the water and
almost landed.
AT that critical moment in the pick
erels fight he must have concluded
that it was better for him to give up
his breakfast rather than lose for
ever the opportunity for getting an
other, for he set his internal arrange
ments to work disgorging the sun
fish, dropped back into the water, and
went his way.
The supfsh, still fast to the hook,
had run the gauntlet of the pickerel's
spiked jaws agd had been good
while in it's stomach. Such an expe-
rience, it would seem, should have
been enough to satisfy the ambition
of any ordinary fish: So we thought
at any rate when we released ii from
the hook and tossed into the water,
as we supposed, dead.
We'll, this fish w9sn't an ordinary
fish 1t was Sand pond fish, and
wasn't so easily satisfied as all that.
IL lay on the water stiff and motion
less and badly scared for few Sec
onds, and then began to SILVER and
wriggle about. Presently IL dived be-
meath the surface, swimming strong,
but like a cripple. 1t was quickly sur
rounded by scores of full grown sun
fish, which escorted the wounded lit
tie fellow tenderly away until they
were hidden among the rushes.
I'VE got quite a few Of those ag-
gravatingly independent black bass,
before we left the pond"

Our Poultry Crop.

F. d. Corbin. secretary Of the Kan

but the United States census showed
its value less than one-third that of
the poultry and eggs produced on our

preciated by stockmen, and the po-
tatoes are everywhere staples, but the
combined value of these two crops in
1907 was not greater than the income
from the fowls"
