to take home bunch of fish from the
market" added the sportsman, would
they do it? Certainly not. They would
quickly tell the dealer to send them
home for them -...
Discussing the sport and the men who
enjoy it, the angler said there are many
persons in this city who feel so free
when they start on fishing trips that
conventionalities are forgotten. There
are some men who are usually very par
ticular about their dress, who, when
they prepare for fishing trips, forget all
about wearing apparel and do not mind
appearing in costumes that would do an
injustice to a hobo.
And many of them will willingly
clean fish while on outings, he added.
but if wiley would suggest such a
thing at home to expedite preparations
for dinner, these same men would al
most go in commissions and make it
necessary to summon the family doctor.
After ALL" he concluded, 1T just

And the boatman stopped on the

had not recovered from the shock of
catching five-pound trout.

That foxes are exceedingly plentiful in
the vicinity of Washington this fall is the
rueful testimony of. G. H. Rice. an anna
teur hunter. who is better known as the
cultivator of the most expensive garden
patch in the capitalize quarter acre
of ground on 18th street adjoining the
offices of the National Geographic So
ciety. s---
"On both my hunting expeditions in the
on the farm of J. H. Downs. l have been
bothered by the foxes which lead my
coon dogs astray," says Rice. Last week
l began to hunt at 9 o'clock at night with
in freeing only four 'possums and one
coon by 3 am. was due entirely to the
fact that two of my hunters were fox
hounds before they were led into the
'possum preserves. Consequently, during
the night these two caused my other six
pups, mainly ours, to follow after strange
gods in the shape Of Sir Reynards, twelve
of whom were tracked.
Fortunately, one doesn't need dogs in
hunting squirrels on Downs farm, and
when I came back to town last Monday
afternoon, after a weekend visit. had
sixteen tails hanging to my chapeau.
