A LANE IN FRANCE


have heard full-throated songbirds
In the woods behind Messlnes,
Where the trellis of the sunlight
Shines through trees along the lane
I walk upon these peaceful days,
When guns are still at morn;
But I'm hungry, famished, longing
For the place where I was born,
With its signing pines, and singing birds
And fields Of yellow corn.
'Tis pleasant nights to roam a bit,
In paths where grasses grow;
IT'S jolly with a maid of France
To sing and laugh, know.
But all the while my truant feet
Are turning westward far,
Where yesteryear, on such a night,
Beneath that same bright star,
walked with Jennie down the lane,
Clear to the pasture bar.
And there beyond the pasture bar,
Beneath tall southern pines
Stands Jennie's house, all covered Ger
With morning glory vines
In summer And tonight dream
Beneath this pleasant sky
In sunny France, so far from home,
Hearing again the cry
OF hooking birds in piney woods
Soft singing lullaby.

BATTLE IS ON FOR MEMPHIS RID CHAMPIONSHIP
FISHING
eY ION MARSHALL.

In the fishing world, where does the
"TiCkler" beiongI Fish love to be
tickled and are very susceptible to the
dulcet strains of music. Many are the
devices and varied methods evolved by
maj TO capture the finny tribe.
In the biblical period, nets and hand
lines were played for favorites, while
fly casting was an unknown method. At
the present writing, two separate and
distinct species Of the genus homo have
developed and are in active eompeti-
ton in the fishing arena. The fisher
man, with his nets, gigs, heavy tackle,
painted lures, live bait, angle worms,
cane poles and heavy lines is pushed
into the discard by the angler, with
light tackle, assorted flies and dry fly
methods.
We now have the Fish Ticker"
What fishing sphere does he belong in
or VIII be become a class of his own?
Tickling for trout was praeticed BY
poachers in Pebbly Ponds, Austin, neal
Sheffield, England, on the estate Of the
duke OF Leeds. Was then carried to
the extent that 1t became necessary
to legislate against the practice.
Entering the stream below the fish
ing grounds, the poacheT would work
his, way slowly up the stream, with
both arms emerged to the elbows, the
palms of his hands extended forward.
Arriving at a point where the bank
extended out oVer the stream, there
the irridescent beauties lay hidden in
their layers, awaiting the arrival Of a
culinary tid-bit.
The clear cold water washed the water
cress n fish could be seen as they
slowly moved about with that gentle
undulating movement. When near the
fish a very low, tremulous whistle, trill-
ing into a chant, was started, which
seemed to have a sedative influence,
charming the fish. When first touched,
the tendency vas to slowly move away,
the hand would follow and the fingers
gently stroking the belly, this a most
delightful sensation to the filmed vic
tim, who then accepted the attention,
as a cat would a stroke on the back,
or a dog a gentle rub behind his ears.
Slowly the hand moved forward along
the fish, interspersed with an occasional
touch, until the gills were reached at
which time the confidence established
between the little scaled tiger and the
poacher was betrayed, a contracting Of
the thumb and fingers in the gills re-
suited in the capture. Where does the
'"Tickler' belong, with angler or fish
erman?
