HIS BIGGEST FISH

Men often exaggerate as to the length of
the fish they catch and the fish gets an inch
or so longer every time they tell of their
catch to any one. Down in Mississippi
fishing, with the colored men, is quite pas
time and the more they dislike real work
the better fishermen they seem to be- On
the farm where the writer first saw the light
OF day and grew to manhood, lived lad
Henderson Fowler by name-who would not
do much else from boyhood to manhood but
fish and hunt and when last heard of he
was still chasing the fnny tribe up and down
the brooks and creeks as Of yore Hender-
son would catch a dozen fish and swear he
had caught a hundred, and if he actually
caught hundred he would swear he had
caught cart load. Henderson was more
or less truthful about everything else he did
except the number of and the size of the
fish ne caught His mud cats were always
as long as his arm and if you ran onto him
with his string Of fish in his hand he would
either say, Il lost my big cats or I gave
them to Aunt Dinah' Now, Henderson
was most successful fisher and the most
OF the time brought home some very charm
ing strings Of mud and channel cats and

he was fondled and courted by all of the
"uncles' and 'aunts' of the plantation
with the hope OF at some time being remem-
bered by him with mess of fish Fishing
for cat was more or less silent perform
ance and often one would have to sit for
hours waiting for them to bite, but if they
once began to bite in an hour or more you,
perhaps, might bag twenty-five or fifty.
When Henderson would fall into one of these
long waits he would frequently 60 to sleep
and go to sleep holding his fishing pole in
his hand and his hook and line in the water
waiting, of course, for bite, which gener-
ally woke him up. He was in the above pc.
sition on this fishing occasion which we are
about to relate. He went to sleep and slept
so soundly that he did not even hear the
dinner horn, and, "beieve me" the colored
man down there that does not hear the din
ner horn and heed it's warning is much
nearer dead than alive, but our young fish
erman slept on and on, and at the dinner
table the cold folks said, "Henderson
must have gone over to Big Creek to fish
today as he did not come when the horn
blO'd.' Now while he slept small size
cat swallowed his hook; it was, however,
entirely too small to wake the sumberer up
and so he slept on. In the streams of Mis-
sssippi there are hundreds and perhaps
thousands of water moccasins, which prey
upon the fish and frogs of the streams for
their food. An unusually large moccasin
SWAMI by and saw this fish on Henderson
hook and it began at once to swallow it,
and when he had fully succeeded Mr. Snake
realized that he as we'll as the fish had a
string to him. 1t struggled with so much
violence to free itself from the fish and
hoo1 hot
he had cat fish on his hook as big as a
bear, he began to pull himself together to
land his catch. AS he tugged on his pole
it bent and creeked and his breath came
in short pants, but soon his catch began
to yield and come his way. He made one
supreme pull and out came his supposed
monster cat, but it was siX-fOot water
mOccasln instead Of mud cat, and as soon
as he got 1t out OF the water and above his
head it began to swing to him and as it
wriggled and twisted and snapped its red
eyes and at the same time shot out it's
forked tongue Henderson let 90 a wall and
cry for help that brought the most of the
fifty men and women of the plantation to
his rescue. He had tainted when the men
reached him, but the snake was still on the
hook making vain but desperate efforts to
let go the three-inch cat it had swallowed.
The first man there lost no time in bruising
the serpent's head and then made it dis
gorge the fish. By this time our piscatorial
hero had revived and he was shown the
magnificent fish he had caught and was told
he would some day catch the devil if he
did not quit lying about the number and
size of the fish he caught. He probably
never did that, but whenever he would be-
gin to tell a fish story he was reminded of
the snake catch, which had the effect of
cooling his fish ardor for some time but as
he grew older and the snake catch would
be sprung on him he would simply say,
ooh, hell"

The grocer thought ole day that he would
like steak for his dinner as change from
the bacon, so he sent his little girl across to
the butcher for one pound of steak
On receiving the steak, he thought he
might satisfy his curiosity by weighing it,
and in so doing he found it to be four
ounces light Of weight.
He brought it across to the butcher and
said: ''What is the meaning Of only giving
me twelve ounces of meat instead of one
pound?"
The butcher calmly replied: II lost my
one pound weight, so I had to use your one
pound packet Of tea"
