Fishing Time

The fish are frequent in the
brook. and | must take my line
and hook, and see if | can catch
shark that will occasion some
remark. | know not why | al
ways feel like going after trout or
eel, about this season of the year !;
the inclination rather queer.
For we'll | know | will not bring,
when | come home, a decent
string; some bony fish that would
not fetch a half a PUNK will be
my catch. And III be spotted
DER with sores, where all the in
sects out of doors got in their
work with drills and stings and
teeth and other redhot things.
And III be sunburned, | suppose,
until the bark peels off my nose,
and I'll be coated thick with mud,
from falling in the babbling flood.
I'll be ruin of the jay who in the
morning went away, all blithe and
gay, and joyous-eyed, Apollo in
his pomp and pride. know all
this, and vet, by jing, l must go
fishing every spring; it is a stunt
imposed by Fate-so here is
where l dig some bait.

Acting upon motion to dismiss,
made by the defense at the closing of
the government ease against Police
man Mason l.. Howes, acting chief of
the vice squad" on trial before Judge
Mullowny at the Police Court on a
charge of forcible entry, the court an
nounced it's intention of taking the mo-
ton under advisement until Tuesday,
and ordered that the case go over I'M
til that time.
The motion to dismiss by the defense
is based upon the claims that the gov

entry of private property. as he is
charged having only entered public
property in the pursuance of his duty.
This contention was strongly rebutted
by the prosecution.
