Man Is constantly establish

teous enough to follow the
rules, though occasionally ex-

Charles BeaSley, manager of
the Cleveland, Tenn, Chamber
of Commerce, and a fishing
companion had a run-in with
one Of natures exceptions.
They were fishing on the Ten

Beasley, "like a car running

A school of gar. some more
than four feet long. seemed
intent on tearing the bottom
out of Beasley'S boat. During
the excitement one fish leaped
from the water. ripped the shirt
sleeve Of Beasley's companion
from shoulder to elbow, gashed
his thumb, and then continued

fishermen, and for the most
part fish can be expected to
follow a set of rules discovered
and reported by anglers, game
