The independent says these two gen

weighed more than 500 pounds. What
could q fellow do with 500 pounds II
flsh? He couldn't wade around with
them. nor he couldn't hold mp his

How many yer caught The proper
way 90 enjoy fishing is to catch a 4
pound trout every twenty or thirty
minutes, just have the strikes far
enough apart to spend this period u
time iu joyful anticipation. The
scientific analysis IS, say. something
like two-thirls anticipation and one
third realization, with about twenty
pounds the maximum catch for one
person on an average. Should there
be four in the party for one person 10
catch so per cent. Of all Of them,

FRANCE.


The European war has called for
many expressions Of opinion and
many changes In views from the BE-
ginning until now, as It has progress
Cd but one thing has remained stead
fast aud outstanding. and that Is the
American sympathy for France. That
sympathy is Of more than a cen
tury's standing, and had lis origin
when France sent a navy and soldiers
over TO help MS win our independence.
The country that gave birth to Lafay-
cite must always have warm place
in the American heart. Only once has
This friendship been strained. During
The NapolcOnic struggle a French
minister exceeded his authority by at
tempting to enlist the services Of
Americans. when any action Of the
kind had been prohibited bby the gov
eminent. II caused only momentary
lad feeling. Naturally the country
that had done 50 much for us I'm our
time Of need, expected some assist
ance when they needed it. for that
was the European way. But when
France unieritood that the policy Of
our government was TO have no en-
tangling European alliances, TO stay
~ home" IN this side Of the Atlantic,
and the only way to do so was to be-
Gin at once. even though It meant to
refrain from assisting an old friend,
she acquie~crd in our view. and ever
-ince the friendship between the two
nations has been traditional. This
friendship Is founded not only on this
first expression Of France I'm sub.
-tantial way by giving Of her men
and means towards assisting MS in
our war for Independence, but also
IN the fact that we represent the
greatest democracy Of the new world,
while France represents the greatest
democracy II the old world. We stand .
