Some men put their line In the
water and sit there and watch 1t,
and others are so lazy that all they
do is sit there.
One guy caught q fish and tried
to kill Il by holding Its head under
water.
He figured the humane thing to
do was to drown 1t.
This same bird took another
fish and dried him with a Turkish
towel for fear he'd catch cold.
Some men will go out and fish
all morning without catching any
thing, and others will go out and
fish for the same length Of time
and come back with nothing.
The average man will stop fish
ing around ) o'clock In the eve-
ming so he can get back TO town
before the markets close.
One guy could never understand
why the swell hotels charge q dol.
lar and a quarter for a trout until
he tried for two days to catch one.
A fish Is like central, hard TO
get on the line.
Don't get discouraged II you
have to bait your hook fifteen
times and then land only a two.
inch fish; think Of the guy who has
to catch sardines.

Says One Man Always Went Fishing in a

By John p. Medbury

Fishing Is a great sport, but q
lot of guys will spend twenty.
seven dollars for a rod and reel to
catch a trout that they could have
bought in any market for sixty
cents.
They like to fish because they
can get up early In the morning.
IL this Is what they want they
should get married and have some
children and then they could be
up all night.
They get out Of bed at a. m. 50
they can dig for bait. It's all right
for them, but maybe the worms
don't want to get up so early.
No matter how goOd-natured
worm may be, very few Of them
want to go swimming at o'clock
In the morning.
The average SPORTSMAN isn't sat
isfied with just getting the worms
out Of bed at that hour; no, he has
to go down to the lake and disturb
the fish.
One guy always went fishing IN
a place where he knew there
weren't any fish. He said by doing
this he didn't have to bother to use
any bait.
