I've caught the trout in mountain
brooks
Where sunlight seldom CLEANS;
In those clear lakes Of Michigan,
With surface smooth as glass,
rye taken many hundred pounds
OF black and speckIed bass;
In the muddy Mississippi.
Where her murlzy water rolls,
OF the buffalo and catfish,
I have taken many tolls;
l have caught the whirling Tuna,
off .Catalina's shores,
While waves Of the blue Pacific,
Beat with never ending roar;
And on the broad Atlantic
Armed with gait hook, reel and rod;
rye caught the darting mackerel,
The blue fish and the cod;
In the great Gulf Of Mexico,
So turbulent and dark3
I'VE caught the leaping Tarpon,
The KING fish, and the shark;
Since then, I've landed many fish,
With help of my two pards,
Whose weight was told in hundreds,
And whose length was told in yards;
But no fish ever took the bait,
And no fish ever will
That caused my heart to palpitate,
Or gave me such a thrill;
No fish that swims the deep blue sea,
Can cause my face to glowe
Like that first little sinner"
Caught full fifty years ago.

as still signing through the trees.
AS ] sit upon a pine log,
BY the fire which gives such cheer
There are many strange and curiou:
sounds
That fall upon my ear.
Up there among the pines I hear
The barking of the coon;
From far out on the water
Comes the shrir note of the loon;
While overhead the chatter
OF the night birds. as they soar,
All mingle with the music of -.
OF the CULTS eternal roar;
Back there within the tent
Are both my comrades, fast asleep;
'Tis my time to watch the camp fire
And the long night vigil keep;
All day long we have been fishing,
Sailing up and down the bay;
And our little sloop, Shiwaukee,
Has thrown many miles of spray;
We've trailed three hundred feet OF
rope,
Behind our little bark,
Upon the end ten-pound bait
We ftshed today for shark.

Lie stretched upon the ground
Three sharks whose net combined
weight
Is thirteen hundred pound;
When measured with our steel tape

In length. as we have seen,
The smallest was just nine feet long.
The largest just thirteen.
Now as the night has colder grown,
heap the pine-knots higher:
Then stretch myself upon the sand,
Before the blazing fire;
And as l watch the blackening smoke
Curl UP among the trees,
Or slowly waited out of sight,
Upon the gentle breeze,
Ny thoughts, like smoke, are carried
As the fires of memory glow,
To the happy days of childhood.

His face sun-burned and brown,
Upon his head an old straw hat,
Hair sticking through the crown;
His eyes wide with excitement,
And pride in every look,
As he starts on his first fishing trip,
Down to the meadow brook.
With bent pin for fish hook,
And a line from mothers spool;
With old Tige trotung By his side,

in premium awards this year at the
Michigan State Fair in Detroit, Sep.
TENDER to H. Numerous increases
will be made over awards of last

est ever paid in the United States.
Not only will there he larger vari-

breeds of cattle in Michigan will be
especially alluring to livestock men
who pride themselves on the excel
lence Of their breeded stock,
Liberal premium lists attract the
best exhibits says Secretary-Mana
ger G.. w. Dickinson, of the state fair,
Encouragement must be given by the
fair to the farmer who devotes his
time to improving his breeds of stock
or to the raising of the very highest
grades of farm products.
"This has always been our policy
and the increases in value Of premi'
ums each year has been accompanied
by an increased showing in the class
of exhibits. These in turn have at
tracted more and more attention to
the fair, with the result that steadily
increased earnings have enabled the
fair to maintain it's growth from year
to year until it has assumed the front
rank
I'VE will be able to make II we'll
worth while for the farmer to send his
best produce and stock to the fair
and thus procure farming exhibit
which will do credit to Michigan and
help maintain the balance with ex-
hibits Of other character"

A Song of the Pioneers

{ Awarded Second Price
A song for the early time st. Clair
And our green old forest home,
For the time when the wind in the
tree top
Would sing and howl and moan |;
The days and time passed merrily
And had a joyous flow,
In the days when we were pio-
neers,
One hundred years ago
The hunt, the shot. the glorious
chase,
The captured elk or bear;
The camp, the welcome fire, and
then
The meal in the open air;
Oh merrily passed the time, de-
spite
Our willy Indian foe,
In the days when we were pio-
neers,
One hundred years ago
Densely the forest closed us
round
With axe we felled the green old
trees,
With dangers everywhere,
A clearing made we there;
And then the seed for grass we
sowed,
AS there was none to NOV,
In the days when we were pio-
neers,
One hundred years ago
We stunned not labor when twas
due,
We worked with our good will,
For homes We built, though rough
and rude,
Our County bless us still;
The fields of wheat and other
grains,
We reaped as we'll as sowed,
In the days when we were pio-
neers,
One hundred years ago
We felt that we were fellow men
We felt we were a band
Sustained here in the wilderness
By Heavens upholding hand.
Our churches then were leafy
groves;
None other did we know,
In the days when we were pio-
neers,
One hundred years ago
Oft through our dwellings in
winter,
The winds would shrek and
moan,
We cared not, though they were
but frail,
We felt they were our own.
And liberty and JOY We had,
Mid verdure or mid snow,
In the days when we were pio-
neers,
