AnuIino and FISHING.


be remembered that to angle and to
catch fish are very different things.
There are debased creatures in human
guise who will attach an assortment
of murderous hardware to the end of
q rope and with it pull fish from the
water by sheer strength, but such
methods are unrecognized by the an
gler who has imposed upon himself
a rigid code of honor and to whom
even the use of live bait as a last re-
sort is the OCCASION for severe self
examination. The angler does not go
forth to catch fish, but to fish. and
only those with the anglers nice sense
of propriety will recognize the diff
ference.-Ph Philadelphia Times.
