The open season on brook trout closed
Saturday and some fine strings were taken
that day. The fishermen say that the
prospects for good fishing next year We're
never better, owing to the abundance of
water in the brooks In the past few
years many Of the small streams were per
fectly dry at this time of the year. The

prised by catching good quantities of fish
in the lake this week 1t was feared that
the fishing was practically ruined when
the water was drawn off, but apparently
such is not the case.

JUST TO MAKE THINGS RHYME

Once upon a time NOW just to
make things rhyme, | will use
country town where country sun
looked DOWN but anyway I'll say.
in this town there lived a jay. who
was not so cute and wise, did not
have those dreamy eyes that the
girls would idolize, but as it were he
won a prize. Now this prize l will
confess, was really nothing more or
less, than little roll of bills, such as
often comes in wills; SO we'll change
this little scene, leave these pastures
fresh and green, and to city life
we'll stroll with this jay boy and
his roll. He arrived mature in town,
looking up and looking down, till
that looking here and there, mingled
with that seedy air, brought
friendship thick and fast that he
thought would ever last; but alas,
that roll of bills-such as often
comes in wills soon had come to
be no more, they had parted at the
door. When he saw he had been
stung, his little jay boy" head he
hung, and of course he went back
home vowing never more to roam,
maledicting city life. all it's grating,
con" and strife.
Now the years have rolled away,
there has come another day; in that
little country town where that coun-
try sun looks down. Mr.. "JayBoy"'s
not the same Mayor Zeke Evans
is his name, while that Friendship
thick and fast, that he thought
would ever last (well just to make
things rhyme. l will say "It's' doing
time.) Moral He who fishes for
suckers, and thinks himself shark,

The first time this spring that the
band played outdoors, was last Sat-

the boys in the hospital few live
ly tunes. which no doubt they en-
joyed very much.

The news reporters no doubt feel
it more than anyone else since the
Prinz Eitel interned so quietly, as
they expected considerable trouble
to materialize thru an attempt at de-
parture. We are pleased tho to note
the incident closed for the present.
The reporters will have to turn
their attention elsewhere now in
order to fill the usual column or two
as they managed to do with this Incl
dent.
Paddy's Green Sox will have just
as nifty outfits this season as any of
the outside teams that visit our local
diamond. Also the band boys are to
have regulation band uniforms
which will be a great improvement
in their appearance and which we
will sincerely appreciate. No doubt
there will be many visitors to the
institution this season and uni
formed band will speak we'll for the
institution.
Now here is the latest proposition
for the reduction of the high cost of

taste for the Fodder Diet''-Very

stewed timothy, boiled clover and
so on, are more nutritious than DO
tatoes, cabbage or our general run
of garden vegetables. We must say,
we prefer our baked beans and good
old Irish potatoes.
Several new instruments are to be
added to the band and orchestra
soon, and anyone wishing to avail
themselves of this splendid oppor-
tunity to join the harmony club
should not hesitate to make them
selves known at once, as it will be to
their mutual benefit to do so. There
are many surprises IN store for boys
of musical inclination. Our Direct
or, Mr., Christensen, expects within
short time to have about thirty
pieces in the band; that is to increase
it about fifty percent
