it. About four years ago a Bath man
went smelt fishing off wharf on the
riverside and when he returned, lean
ed up his pole on which was his
fishing line in corner of the Ntch-
en-. Attached to the hook was a
minnow for live bait and this was
wriggling on the hook. when the
mans pet black coon cat espied the
fish and made for it. Before the
owner could prevent. the cat had
swallowed the fish and the hook. 1t
was impossible for the man to pull
out the hook without killing his pet.
SO he cut the line. leaving the bait
and the hook and small portion of
the line within the coony. The cat
seems to have assimilated the hook.

toms Of discomfort from her strange

Caught in the Teuton onset-as at

were only three companies in the
