Yessreebob! When a man gets fast to a big
musky 1t is time for him to think of home
and mother, wife, sweetheart the League Of
Nations and the H. c. of L. As that ardent
angler, L. H. Kendall puts it
have felt exharation in the autos lightning rush,
Evadng limitations and the law.
have felt my pulses quicken when filled bob-tail
Having raised the ante Just before the draw
I have let the perspiraton down my smiling face
AS cashed winning ticket a doubtful trottng
race
With muscles tense and ready firmly grasp my pole.
1 forget the rocking boat in which l stand,
forget wifes relations, the salvation of my soul,
My debts, my duties and my native land
Cold chs of apprehension go up and down my spine,
And wonder at my folly in selecting such a line.
IT'S tn" limit of the pleasures have Travelled miles
to feel!
On this cloudy, breezy afternoon in June,
When my heart is set to pounding by the protest of
my reel
AS the Mighty Musky rushes with my spoon
And then the congratulations would pour in on
Sir Izaak. For If, with the aid of an oarsman,
a club, revolver, a gaff and a landing net he
got the musky into the boat congratulations
would obviously be in order And If the musky
got away congratulations would be equally in
order since the painting, perspring and exhausted
angler got away from the musky with his life
The poorest way to see the country is from the
window of railroad The next poorest is
from an automobile going thirty miles hour.
A man on horseback has a fair chance to see
things provided he will get off the beaten high
way Really to see the country however, man
must walk.
For it is only the pedestrian who can leave the
beaten track at will to climb to the vantage spot
on the slope to wander off down the woodland
trail to the tinkng stream, to cast himself down
at full length on the pine needles of the cool
grove. 1t is only the man on foot WHO has the
time to find these hidden charms and the leisure
to appreciate them.
And then there's the actual feel of the country
under foot-the spring of the turf; the rustic of
fallen leaves; the cooling touch of lush grass
about the spring; the ring of hobnal solid
rock the crunch of sand the beach, That's
the way to see the country-get into actual phys
cal touch with 1t.
If you go camping, here is some advice In the
form of dOn'ts:
Don't neglect to choose your companions care
fully; the smaller the party the more care is
necessary. If a man has mean, lazy or yellow
streak In him, 1t will come out in camp.
Don't eat q hearty meal when you are ex-
hausted; you might we'll take poison. Cool
off and rest while; then a hearty meal will
renew your strength
Don't go into cold water when overheated or
Just after a heavy meal Don't 60 into deep
water alone. Don't stay in after your teeth be-
gin to chatter Don't go in at all II 1t is tax
rather than tonic
Don't give up and conclude that the fish will
not bite. If there are fish they must feed.
Don't try to do your cooking over campfire;
use a cooking fire. campfire is for jollity and
warmth, cooking fire is principally live Goals for
cooking only.
