Nimmons told the following story to his
iisteners; ''One afternoon with a single
Oomnanion I went TO Ash from n pier on
the west side OF the lake near the town
Of Riyae. There was n considerable
gathering OF natives on the pier. and by
natives I mean not Spanish Americans
but Indians. not our red Indian of the
north, but the yellow Indian OF the
tropics. These dusky faced and dark
haired descendants. remnants Of the Az
tees. Notwithstanding the centuries of
a,rocious persecution which their race
has suffered have not had their disposi-

There are no red headed Individuals
among them. SO when a sun capped Cau-
caslan appears among them he Is re-
gnrded will wonder and admiration as n
rsra avis. a veritable bird OF paradise.
II so happened that my companion was
red headed. and the admiration he ex-
cited among the Anahuacs was tempered
Only by the interest displayed In my
N.hing tackle. which was quite as new to
them.
They piled me with numerous Ques-
lions which were difficult to understand
sud even more difficult to answer on ac-
count Of my limited knowledge OF Span-
irN. and when l had rugged up ended by
asking me- what l was going to use Tor
bait.
81 had provided myself with some red
beef. which I had asked my companion to
Tut In his pocket. and as I did not know
the Spanish equivalent of beef | pointed
10 my friend to indicate that he had the
halt in us pocket. and | was astonisheo
BY a e. at burst OF laughter, accompa-
MED by wild gestures and clapplng OF tire
hands. 7 had been s~hockingly misunder.

"As to channel bass ASKING. there is
nothing finer to my mind than to sit
upon a box on the beach and wait for a
strike. II the strike does not come you
have the invigorating sea bretz re In your
face and the unfailing majesty Of the
ocean before our eyes. and your
thoughts are as boundless as the ocean
itself. But IL the strike does come, then
