several days it was arranged for Mr.
Britton to turn over the material to

Tho Fish They Used TO Catch.
Among the early incidents we want
to mention ono or two. Father 0lhck
was u great lover OF fishing. and there
was u keen rivalry between him and
another fisherman OF about tho same
age. Father Gerhart. I think. ~ to
who could catch tho biggest fish. FOR

His rivals biggest fiah was Some
where In tho twenty pound class. bus

He was the proudest fisherman that
ever lived in Marshalltown-

Another incident that may be mesa-
toned OF Father Click. Is that when hin
grandson, Alb. was n two-foot -long kid.
he used to haul him around in q small
express wagon. When tho Kid sat up
the wagon was just n Mt. But when
he got sleepy and his grandpa laid him
down IL was necessary for his heels to
