TO the editor: A few wka ago
the writer was prevailed on
to give readers my hints and
views in regards to the sport
Of fishing and what tackle to use
for different members of the Finny
tribe and where to find them and
etc. and since writeing same my
mail has been swamped with letters
from ninrods all over the country
thanking me for the article and how
it helped them and etc.
They have also been, a swarm Of
letters from men and women OF both
sexs complaining that my advice and
instructions was all confined to fsh-
ing in streams. lakes, and etc. and
ing which Of course is the grandest Of
all sports for folks that can afford
same which these irated correspon-

they pointed out that 1t would not be
no more than fair for me to do as
much for them as done for the small

So IL 4OohS 1lhC "ou1o USkSSi oS-

sport Of salt water fishing lest tho
followers Of same accuses me Of IA
vorism.
Well friends salt water fishing de-
pends on the seasons Of the yr. In re-
CARDS to different kinds Of fish. Like
for inst salt mackerel runs in the
fall and not in the winter and spring.
Pickled eel can be caught in tropic
waters in winter and goes to Newport
for the summer. Tripe runs only
dureing the winter months and walks
the rest of the time. Cross-eyed hoke
bites freely in the spring and then
lives the balance Of the VI. on their
own fat.
So it will be seen that with all the
different fish haveing different habits.
why only a few gen. suggestions can
be give in this limited space.
Probably the greatest fishing that
can be enjoyed by residence OF this
continent Is gullet fishing dureing the
winter months of the coast Of Iowa
Liver-lipped gullets weighs from Y
to ton and is one of the gamest of
mollusks. They will bite freely at a

horse or a canteloupe. Use a No. IL
hook and E string. The smike is
ono Of the gamest of deep sea fish and
also one Of the hardest to conquer as
they don't conflne their battle to the
water but is libel to swim ashore
and give you q merry chase across

The wise smike fisherman equips
himself with a fast touring car as

Two yrs. ago a lop-eared friend of
mine named Bob Poodle was smlke

with a quarter Of beef. After eating
all the well done meat the smike
waded ashore and started for Omaha.
Mr.. Poodle who Is q we'll to do cpl
leptic engaged a taxi and offered the
driver a soldiers bonus Of 500 IL he
would not loose sight OF the smike.
The last named finely wearied of the
chase and was caught in a tree near
Waukesha, Wisconsin, but without the
means to hire the taxi. Mr.. Poodle
would of been obliged to go sans

For three days after her installa-

her a desk and task. The quiet or

room where she was working. He
was tall, slightly stopped and groom

supposed he could not be more than

the haggard look of one little dis

Julie smiled back at him. "Your

a moment, Il must confess I find

He sat down in the desk chair op-

Julie shrugged her shoulders. "Oh.

glow Of country color still on her cheeks.

it in the end scarcely less monotonous

she chose new paper and hangings. She
discarded much Of the heavy furniture
and arranged the new with amazing
deftness. Her tables at dinner repre-
sented the satisfaction Of an exactins
and devoted taste. Most Of the day she
fitted about as happy as hummine

Stephen winthrop's eyes glowed as

First she thought Of Don Matthews
marriage with Don would be i'm
possible-at least for years. She was
twenty-four and pretty, but there was
no one in Benton she could marry.
No one. She would not repeat the
valiant, stupid. uncomplaining sacri-
! fee her mother had made. She would
marry rich, richer than Heinie Gut

ton. This was no transient mood, she
reasoned. This was a solemn resolve.
1t was after the clock in the town
hall had struck three that Julie Par
ker went to sleep.
With the daylight even that resolve
did not vanish. The restlessness and
discomfort Of years seemed at last to
focus. She became sleepless and pale
and dispirited.
Judge Howells was the first to read
the danger signal. Ono day he watch
