Frank Dobson was stopping on the
B1ambeau river at French Pierre's. He
was there for the bass fishing, and had
been having good sport. The small
mouths were biting freely and he had
taken the canoe and a guide down the
river that morning early to reach some
water where the guide promised some
big fellows. At bend in the stream
the guide padded In closer to shore
and pointed to strip of smooth water
below a stretch of swift-fowing riff
fes. Well get some of 'em right
there" he said, pointing to the place.
A big rock jutting out of the water
was reached and the guide held the
boat up to a rift in the rock while
Dobson hooked on minnow and cast
out into the still water A strike" fol-
lowed almost Immediately, the bass
running far out and down stream and
then, darling swiftly back, left the wa

bright in the morning light. The an
gler kept taut line on the fish, how
ever, and met all of his rushes with
the steady skill that spoke OF long
practise at the art. Fish after fish was
brought to the landing net, until the
canoe held nine good-sized bass.
Then Dobson cried quits and the
canoe was turned in to the shore and
In few minutes the two men were
stretched on the bank enjoying their
pipes. The guide, who had been up
nearly all night before at dance, an
nounced his intention of taking a nap
before they cooked dinner, and Dob
son, taking a light 22-caliber rifle
which they had brought along, saun-
tered down the river, promising to be
back in an hour or so. He turned
another bend in the river and left the
guide stretched out and already sleep

from the festivities of the previous
night.
After walking for mile or so down
stream Dobson came to where lodge
had been built little ways back from
shore 1t was a picturesque log affair
and he was much interested in it's coy
appearance until aroused from his con-
lectures by another picture even more
pleasing, almost at his elbow. A sleek

J1panese FesaIvaI.

In Japan no notice is taken of the
actual anniversary of a birth, but
every one adds year to his or her
age on the Setsbun, a movable festl-
val which occurs either late in Janu-
ary or at the beginning of February.
Thus a child is said to be a year old
that is in it's first year, directly it IS
born, and on the following Setsbun II
will be two, although, in fact, it may
be only a few days old. The feast is
not kept in any marked manner, ex-
cept that akameshi (rice boiled with
small red beans which give 1t a red
color) is eaten, and in the evening
parched beans are scattered about
the room from a square rice measure,
to the cry, "Fuku ga ouchi. On1 ga
soto!'-"Good fortune within. Out
with the demons!" Everyone is sup
posed to eat the number of beans cor
responding with his age and one over,
for luck. Friends and acquaintance
also congratulate each other with
words of good omen and good for
tune.
