KING GEORGE AS AN ANGLER
Sritain's Ruler Fights With Salmon
and Then Dimes on Haggis
and Whisky Grog.

An article in French paper de-
scribing King George salmon fish
ing is too good to be lost. 1t runs lin
translation):
"He is an angler Of the first force,
this king of Britain. Behold him
there, as he sits motionless under his
umbrella patiently regarding his
many-colored floats How obstinate
ly he contends with the elements It
is summer day of Britain; that is
to say, a day of sleet, and fog, and
tempest. But what would you? It
is as they love it, those who would
follow the sport. Presently the kings
float begins to descend. How he
strikesl The hook is implanted in
the very bowels of the salmon. The
king rises. He spurns aside his foot
stool. He strides strongly and swift
ly toward the rear. In good time the
salmon comes to approach himself
to the bank. Aha! The king has
cast aside his rod! He hurls him
self flat on the ground on his victim.
They splash and struggle in the icy
water. Name of a dog! But it is
a Draw laddie! The gillie, akind of
outdoor domestic, administers the
coup de grace with his pistol. The
king cries with very shrill voice,
Hip Hip! Hurrahp On these red
letter days his majesty George dimes
on haggis and whisky grog. Like
a true Scotsman, he wears only q
kilt"
We need not add, says London
Tit-Bits, that the description is
meant to be most complimentary to
the king, in spite of the lively imagi-
nation of the writer.
