The most disgraceful sight that
one ever sees in this town is a
number of young boys, in their
teens, with cigarettes in their
mouths. A boy behind a ciga-
rette is a fit subject for the re-
form school, and he stands a fine
chance of going there, unless his
daddy gets behind him in the
good old fashioned way and inn
presses him with the importance
of letting the nasty things alone.

do, but what thrill OF satisfaction
travels up your spine when you fin.
ally strike on the kind of grub
Mr.. Fish has an affinity for.
That is the reason why successful
fishermen carry good variety Of
Trout Flies in their book.
That is the reason we have 231

good quality gut and hollow point
