mense time had"
"A good story is told on E. A Nor
gan by one of the party of Okoboji
fishermen which shows how Ben
turned an accident to good account.
He was in boat by himself and had
taken another boat with him 10 haul
the fish back expecting 10 have fine
sport: but in this he was disappointed
The only thing he caught was little
weakened club. Knowing full we'll
that the rest Of the party would laugh
at him for his small catch, it was some
time before he could muster up courage
enough to return to camp. While row.
ing along thinking up some excuse to
make. a large wave came up and up
set the boat in which his club was
secreted. The time for action had ar
rived, and a wild scene ensued He
arose in the boat and yelled to the
rest of the party that he was undone,
( that he had a pickerel eight feet long,
and in Hopping around ne had upset the
! boat and got away. His story was be-
| lieved at first, but the truth leaked out,
