BEST OF OUTDOOR FUN
HAPPY THE MAN WHO FINDS DE-
LIGHT IN FISHING.
Enjoyment Not Given to All, and Hard
to Cultivate-Health, Strength,
Courage and Fortitude In
the Sport.

There are in this world two sorts
of men, those who fish and those who
don't
The don't are divided into those who
would if they could, but can't, and
those who could if they would, but
won't.
The won't are still further divided
into those who are quite contented that
they don't want to, and those who are
dissatisfied with themselves because
they lack the taste.
When we get as far as this we reach
the man who could il he would but
won't, and would if he could but can't.
Talk to him about it, and he will
tell you something like this:
Eyes; know that 1t is a great thing
to go fishing. There is my partner. He
is fisherman, says it's fun, and by
the way he sticks to it and leaves
me here 20 take care of things, guess
Mkely it is fun-for him. But as for
ME, / can't fish. I've tried it, faith
fully; have sat in boat half day
at a time; have tramped miles of
stream; have gone through the mo-
tons and caught fish, too, but that
is not fishing; it does not give me the
enjoyment it does others. l am not
fisherman, when / see how others
like it, how much good it seems to
do them, and how it brightens up the
world for them; I often wish l did
like fishing. But I don't, and never
SHALL"
That is what the woulds say. Just
such cases have come under the no.
tice of almost every fisherman. For
there is this about field sports, that
while most people are quite ready to
recognize what they do for those who
follow them, the taste for their true
enjoyment is born in one, and is with
difficulty acquired in mature years. 1t
may lie long latent, and one may take
to fishing or to shooting late in life,
but he must have had in him, though
dormant and unsupported, the capacity
of enjoyment with the rod or the gun.
Not infrequently people take up in late
life the fishing rod which has been
idle for years, or go shooting once
more after a decade of forgetfulness
of the field. They renew the sports Of
their early days, and with them awak-
en- again the youthful spirit, and re-
store health and strength and courage
and fortitude. To be possessed of
such tastes is blessing often too
lightly esteemed. The father who en-
dows his son in the care-free days of
boyhood with a liking for these sports
of the field is equipping him for life
with resources of healthful enjoyment.

FACES BAD CHARGE
1t is Charged That h Attempted to
Criminally Assault Ethel
Durand

Charles Mills. laborer. is confined
in the county Jail charged with hav.
ing attempted to commit criminal
assault on Ethel Durand. 13-year-
old girl residing at the corner of Wa
ter and John streets Monday after
noon. About 4 o'clock in the after
noon a telephone call TO police head
quarters caused Policeman Blake and
Constable Wild to hurry to the home.
Upon arriving there the mother Of the
girl informed the officers that Mills
had attempted TO assault her daught
er. Mills was arrested and placed in
jail, and it is expected that he viii
be given hearing tonight or tomor-
row before Justice Thompson.
The girl came to the office of JUS
tice Thompson and swore out a war
rant against Mills. The mother also
told the justice that this was the sec
ond attempt, the first one being Sat
urday night but she had refrained
from making complaint. but when
he made the second attempt she
thought it was time to act.
From many stories in circulation
1t appears that Mills has been board
ing at the Durand home for sometime
and was over jealous in his attentions
to the girl.
