A Mr. Singer of La Crosse, Wis, had
a bright idea the other day and forth
with proceeded to give it a good trying
out. Being DESTROYS Of catching mess
of fish in as short a time as possible he
evolved the scheme of taking a wide
board as float to which he fastened Il
number of lines of the proper length; to
the other end of the line were fastened
hooks and sinkers. His idea was that it
could float down the stream to the wait
ing fish and not as by the old method
wait until the fish came to his hook.
Taking the contraption to the stream one
day he carefully baited each hook with
live frog, placed the board in the river
and watched it us it laziy hoated down
with the current. Later he hired n skiff
and rowed down to Overtake the board,
expecting to find every hook holding Il
pike, bass or pickere His establishment
can better be imagined than described
when he overlook the float and found
every one of the live frogs sitting calmly
on the board watching his approach in
the boat.
