Judging from present indications,
according to the statements of Angus
ia sucker fishermen, the presence of
that fish in the waters of the kennebec
river. at least below the Augusta dam,
is thing of the past, and the last fish
was caught in the net of Capt. Charles
Chase, the dean of the Augusta suck
err fishermen. 1t was no ordinary job,
the captain says, getting that last fish,
for a whole week elapsed after setting
the net before the fish found its way
inside the nets mouth. The season
opened fairly we'll and the fish, which
tickle the palates of New York cpl
cures under the name of mountain
trout" were shipped in ton lots. but
the supply was not up to what it was
a year ago, and the shipments dwind-
led until not fish enough were taken
in the nets to make it an object for
the fishermen to set them. The supply
has given out just when the price of
the fish is the highest, during the Len
ten season, it being at present % cents
per pound. Ii is said that the river has
been cleared of the fish from Augusta
to Bowdoinham.

AT last told them that should get some

went to do It, but there were no stones
though kept looking and going for long
way and didn't find nothing but some pieces
of dried mud I went back with them. pue
the boys had got their clothes and gone and
tho water looked so good that went In
and Rowdy went in too and we padded
around and II was fun. Then ] came out
and dried my clothes In what was left OF
the sun and we rambled for home.
The bacon was all covered with red ants
when got Il, but they hadn't eaten enough
OF II SO you could notice II. brushed of
the ants and the bacon was all right As
Rowdy and 7 went down the street every
body called their kids up on the porch eH-
cept old Maid Tompkns, and she waved
her hand at me.
My father had gone to his night watchin'
and fried a piece of bacon. though
couldn't cut It very thin. and It went good
with what was left Of the bread and sar-
dimes and Rowdy ate what was left and we
went and rambled TO town, where It was
all III up and stood and looked at the pit
chers in front of the movie shows and
wished we had a nickel, but we didn't.
So we went home and the clock struck
twelve and when ! said my prayer said
