give you all that there Is in him in
the way Of providing you with a

Tables Turned
The fellow that lands his fish BY

will then learn that the blunt Of
the battle will be upon him instead
of the boat; fewer fish would be

If all the tarpon fought alike, all
had the same identical tactics, the
game would lose a lot of its kick.
