was short of help, % he put up with
our green ways and lack Of experience,
however, We we're dead anxious to learn
and to please, and no doubt overdid
the matter in our frenzy to make good
and not get "canned". While Bob
was stacking one morning and we were
unloading load of hay, he evidently
got impatient with the small forks Of
hay We were sending up to him, and
he climbed down to show us how I"

COED in grabbing the hay in big
chunks, to show him that We "savied"
We took a firm grip on the fork and
gave it . good push in the hay, tho
outcome was that in some way We got
one Of the loag prongs Of the fork
started in the leg of the boss, he gave
. vhoop Of surprise and pain, but it
was too late, the damage had been

regretted the affair most keenly, but
that did not prevent Mr.. Robertson 5

Again comes the report that our
"Big Trout has broken into the lime
light. it seems that our city carrier,
Ernest Napoleon Rowe, likes to tempt
ths trout in the Roaring Fork with the
most up-todate and alluring bait that
y can get. One day quite recently, he
ooaxed . big one to nibble at his bait.
With the rare fisherman skill that he
possesses he managed to get a good
