the army environments throughout
the United States and in Europe for
American soldiers. 1t first was

THE CRITICISM

When birds sing best and meadows
bloom.
When trees are list'ning to the
brooks
And waters leap the rocks in foam,
The Anglers seek sequestered hooks
Supplied with bait of worm or fly
With silken line and springing pole
That reach where specified beauties
lie
In running stream and crystal pool
In patient watch they sit and wait
In Meditation's happy dream,
Disturbed by nibbles at the bait
Or by The voices of the stream,
The foregoing stanZa from poem
entitled The Pleasures of the Angler
by John w. Gordon, is conclusive evi
dence that the genial Barre barristel
knows more about law and politics
than he does about fishing. No expe
rienced angler would speak of "bait
OF worm or fly because flies are not
considered bait. Neither does the PTS.
catorial pursit profane his vocabulary
with the word ''pole''-he fishes with
rod or not at all And as for the
imagination that can picture a trout
fisherman sitting in mediation while
disturbed by nibbles at the bait,
Well-its owner never caught any
trout, that's all.--Brattleboro Reform
e..

THE REPLY

The editor, who guides Reform,
Down at the bottom of the state,
Declares us wrong to speak of flies
AS piscatory bait.
But let him read Sir lsaaks book
The gospel of the fisherman
And he will find that flies are made
A parcel OF his plan.
He likewise bans the use of pole.
And says that rods better term
Perhaps he may be in the right
And that we ought to squirm.
But ask the hoy who cuts the stick
Amid the woods upon the farm.
And we will bet meal of trout
That pole will be his term
He says no nibbles at the bait
Can break your meditative dream,
While you are waiting for a bite
Beside the sleepy stream.
But let our editorial sport
Go fishing on drowsy day. :
And we will prove beyond doubt
The truth of what we say.
Oh! cruel sir, please stay your hand
And leave MS still our pole and fly
That we have used for forty years
And will until we die.
