The two soldiers, members of a

A third soldier is said to be miss

Three Pound PickereI with a Good
Appetite

J.. A. Griffith Of Turner avenue pass
cd u five weeks vacation al Great
Moose Lake last summer. For Two
weeks Of this period he was accom-
panied by his brother $. o. Grifith Of
Boston. They had some splendid
fishing, catching pickerel. black bass
and o and then d salmon. During
their vacation they made one trip 10
Wellington and fshed back along the
valley OF Higgins Stream.
Most of their adventures were OF
the ordinary sort but one morning
they had a decidedly unusual exper-
fence. They We're casting for pick
erel. The Boston gentleman dropped
his bait on the calm water about
forty feet away and which was struck
instantly. The SkoWhegan man
dropped his own bait almost al the
same time and very near the same
point. While he vas watching the
swirl of the big fish that had taken
his brothers hook. his own bait went
out Of sight, the two strikes being al
most simultaneous. A few minutes
later at the proper time they com
menced to pull in their game and
found they both had the same fish.
a three pound pickerel. Being I'M
usually greedy for breakfast it sprang
at first one hook and then the other.
Both hooks were we'll set on the in
side Of his mouth.
With these brothers OF course no
question of ownership arose. il
would be interesting, in the case OF
a rival claim. under such circum-
stances. to know to whom the fish
would actually belong.
From one view the claim of the ang-
Ter, whose hook the fish first took.
would be good, but perhaps a referee
would decide that it was a fifty
fifty proposition.
On mentioning the above the Game
Warden ED. p. King we find that sim
liar experiences are not unheard of.
Mr.. King reports that he has some
times known a fish to take two flies
or the same leader. He recalls
catching al least one trout that took
the tail fly and either the second or
third hook at the same time. These
stories remind Mr.. King of another
one about a three pound bass. He
was fishing somewhere and did not
have "A net in the boat. Perhaps some
what to his surprise a good sized bass
rose as the flies from his east dropped
upon the water. When the fish felt
the pull of the line he jumped and
only a moment later broke the water
close by the edge OF the boat. This
time his energy carried him up over
the edge of the boat and he dropped
at Mr.. Kings feet. Ed never let on
to his companions but what he pulled
him in on the line, although they
must have been quite mystifed as TO
how that big fish was so readily land
ed without a net.

Regarding Transportation OF Game

The Department of Inland Fisheries
and Game has recently been requested
to secure information regarding the
transportation OF game by parcel post.
The matter has been taken up with
the post office department at Wash
ingtOn. and the Maine department is
informed that the postal laws and
regulations provide as follows;
"Postmasters cannot accept for
mailing any parcels containing the
bodies of game animals or birds. or
part thereof, including furs and
plumage. which have been killed or
are being offered for shipment in yio-
lation of the laws of a state. terri
tory and district; and furthermore.
parcels containing such game as may
be lawfully shipped (this would mean
unprotected birds and animals. and
skins of fur-bearing animalsl cannot
be accepted for mailing unless they
are properly marked and otherwise
conform to the laws of the state from
which they are shipped.
lnasmuch as game and game birds
must be shipped open to view it is
obvious that legal shipments of such
cannot be made by parcel post.
