MANY Notables Have Been Devotees

When President Harding prepared

Long before the flood, and far away
In the mists of time, there Is a Baby
lonian legend that Belus, son of MINI

thentlc record of angling appears when
the Lord asks Job: "Cant thou take
out fish with a hook?" The great
Homer lmmOrtaIizes the art in the
"lllad' and odyssey" stating that
godlike men, when pinched for dinner
nshed with crooked hooks, and even
dived for oysters. 1t was Plato. the

QUIT TELLING FUNNY STORIES

Patrick Kelly, representative In
congress from Michigan, says that he
used to tell many stories in going

audiences always liked them and went
away pleased. Telling them looked
like good politics.
Years later Kelly would meet a
man and he would say.
II have met you before. remem-
Der very well certain story you
told.'
Then he would repeat the anecdote
Kelly would ask him what else he re-
membered that had been said, and hh
would be unable to remember a thing.
The congressman began TO wonder If the
telling of stories prevented more seri
GUS matters from finding Judgement

He became fearful. He was not

funny story. So was the possibility
