HOOKED TROUT; LANDED CO.,
humorous Happening to English Dis
eiple OF the Immortal
LEAK Walton.

An incident OF a somewhat amusing
nature was Witnessed few days ego
near the Cover bridge, Llanrw st,
says the London Field. 1t appears that
visitor armed with rod and line was
plying the gtntle art and enticing the
Willy trout by insinuating his flies on
lhe placid surface Of the deep pool
which forms that portion of the Con.
way river.
ABOVE him on a high bank stood :;
GUN stu .hiy Il bIg trout ros> 49,"
nash and secured one of the flies,
win the result that the reel imme-
diately began to whirr.
The angler. with galvanic sudden
ness. jumped back and struck. His
unexpected maneuver, however, star.
Iieo the COW. with the result that she
shpped and with a somersault and a
neartrending Moot" fell with
mighty splash into the pool beneath.
Inc rod was struck from the
anglers hand and after a few sras.
nodlc movements floated gently down
stream. while the trout, adapting him.
sell To such favorable opportunity. dis
eorged the inGigestible mockery on
the nook ard dashed out of the zone
vi DANGER and turmoil. The angler,
VINO mad undergone the pleasures of
a generous shower bath, having col
iect'd ms scattered thoughts and con-
'nced himself that he was not i'm
pNcated in the throes of a violent
earthquake, hurled a torrent Of thoo-
logical terms OH the innocent COW,
winch was making futile efforts to
regain terra firma.
IL soon became evident, however,
that the animal was drowning, so the
angler. with the generosity of his
kind' called for assistance, and ulti-
mately the half-drowned cow was
rescued by means of ropes. 1t is an
tlclpated that the angler when he
next visits his club in England will
regaie the company with "reminiscences
OF his fishing exploit in the Conway
"nen he hooked trout and landed a
COW.

one compares 1t with other countries,
the statement may be allowed to be
true, but In spring 1t affords delicious
contrasts of cold and almost grievous

are the hills, or sometimes dull in
their rounded nudity. Noble Hermon,
with its glorious crest of snow, ex
cites the spirit. But as one rides

the hills Is one that makes for mo-
