it?) never, thought much of that column myself,
as just simply wrote it the request of the editor
to help fill some of the blank CD space in nsti-
tutional organ and most of it the product of
a decrepit imagination, it didn't appear to be

eye at the ground for moment, drove his bill down
deep into the soil and pulled out nice, fat. wrig

with great gusto. The sight of that angleworm gave

calm morning in June a smooth deep-water lake
in northern Minnesota, a good fsh-poe, of
angleworms for bat and those beautiful big
fish, that only to be found in the northern lakes

more exercise pulling them in than fat business
man would in a Y. M G. A. gymnasium.

the shops to dine. The reason? 1t showing!
Nearly every one looked as though he had lost his
last friend, and score boards, baseball games

blame anyone for getting bad case of the glooms

poor mortas. Every day during the week the

An aggregation of South Saltwater boys played
the NJ S. P's. game of baseball the local dia-
mond last Saturday, and the visitors beaten by
score of to 1. Our boys put up good game.

about month ago, taken in to the tailor shop
last week to have three stars added to the M.

list of he names whom the twelve stars represent.
