TOM PHULLERY, Editor.
A True Fish Story.
Two jolly Willmar fishermen :
Went out to fish one day;
Their luck was good and many fish
They caught thruout the day.

And as they caught them one by
one,
To twart their drying stir,
They put them in a gunny sack
And hung it to the skiff.
And as they t1shed they chuckled-
Say, wouldn't they do the brag,
A showing folks the whoppers
Now floating in the bag!
And when the sun had run it's
course,
And passed beyond the West
They folded up their tackle
To start for home and rest.
But holy spoons, blue streaks and
smoke!
Now what you know bout that
The fish somehow had slipped
The gunnysack was fiat.
1t seems that one wise pike had
chawed
His way out thru the sack,
And all the rest, save two small
perch,
Had followed thru the crack.
To loose mess as fine as that
Was tough one must admit,
But even that, though bad enough,
Was not the worst of it;
For when our friend came home
and told
About their great biz haul
Folks simply winked and smiled
and said,
"A fishers tale, that's ALL"
