FISH SCARCE
LOCAL NIMRODS SAY MEMBERS
or FINNY TRIBE WILL
NOT BITE.

Owing to the mood" of fish in
Lake Madison and Lake Herman,
which local nimrods are unable to
account for. fewer fresh fish are be
ing eaten in Madison and surround
ing district than for several years
past.
Men who have engaged in winter
fishing" for a number of years told
today that angling in the two big
lakes near Madison now is a waste OF
time. The men in question declared
that they never had seen a time when
il was SO hard to persuade a fish in
the direction of a hook as il now is.
The theory that unusual cold fer
early winter and the resulting thick
ice on the lakes is responsible fer
the fishes reticence was secuted by
the fishermen.
At this time last year fish by hun
dreds were being taken through the
ice daily. Now persons who usually
buy fish from local fishermen in
winter are using fish brought from
other points.

So, the Kings application for divorce

Year after year, Henry VIII. waited and
implored, pleaded and waited, and still no
divorce.
IF it should be delayed much longer he,
like his wife, might be too old for the heir

be better imagined than decently described.
Cardinal Wolsey had been responsible for
these delays, or at least the King thought so
and that made 1t all the same to Wolsey.
He lost royal favor, and had to step down

His name was Thomas Cromwell.
When he returned to his own country, he
entered the service of Cardinal Wolsey, who
as you will remember-was the right-hand
man of King Henry VIII.
The Kings wife had been his brothers
widow and she had not borne her husband
an heir; therefore, as she was getting OBJ and

wanted another wife, just as Mrs. Drexel-
Emmett recently wanted another husband
or at least wished to rid herself of the one
she had.
King Henry asked the Pope for divorce,
just as Mrs Drexel-Emmett did; but the
Papa refused, because the Kings old wife
was the aunt of the mighty German Emperor,
Charles Y.
The Emperor had taken the Papa prisoner,

THERE was an Englishman of humble
birth who left home, and sought ad-
ventures and advancement in continental
Europe
He joined the motley army of Spaniards,
Italians, and Germans which followed the
Duke of Bourbon in his attack upon the City
of Rome, in 1927.
Bourbon was killed, but his troops poured
over the walls, and through the gates, and
beat down all opposition.
The Pope fled into fortress which had
been made out of the Tomb of Hadrian; and
there he covered in fear, for several months.
In the meantime, the leaderless army of
Bourbon ravaged the Holy City.
Week after week, month after month, the
wild troopers feasted, rioted, ransaczing
palaces, and cathedrals, violating women,
fogging priests holding revels in churches,
and gambling upon the affairs.
The German soldiers were Lutherans; and
they wreaEed savage vengeance upon Roman
Catholic idols images, paintings, "holy vest

ONCE upon time, private companies

the toll gate halted everybody, just as it even
now does on the privately owned canal down
the East Coast of Florida.
In many book which is standard litera--
ture, both in Great Britain and the United
States, you will read of the hero and the
heroine, journeying along the Turnpike, and
paying the fee at the toll-gate.
Sometimes when Angry Papa was galloping
for dear life, to overtake clipping Susan, it
was the obstructive gate which stopped Papa,
and gave Susan the chance to make good her
escape.
AT other times, the William would be kid
mapping the Beautiful Heiress; and it would
be the Toll-gate which delayed him, and
allowed pursuing Virtue to earn another
glorious reward, by rescuing the kidnappee.
Even in John Gilpin's famous ride, the
Toll-gate played it's humorous part; and IN
the adventures of the fascinating highway
man, Claude Duval, the gate was an indis-
pensable thriller: it either stopped the gal
liant Claude, or he leapt his wonderful horse
over it, I don't remember which.
