Favorite Fish and Fishing 



I handed my card to her, with the request 

 that she take It to Colonel Haldeman, or 

 General " Cerro Gordo " Williams. They

 they started off, the corpulent cook shouted: 

 A True Angler " Good-by, mistah; hopes to see you 

 soon. Say, mistah, we all's gwlne to 'tend 

 lak we cotch all dese fish wid we alFs fish 

 lines." 



" All right. Auntie, I will not give you 

 away," I replied. 



She evidently had one of the qualifica-

 The Founder of Late In the aftemoon I saw a lady and 

 a gentleman coming down the beach In a 

 handsome carriage, drawn by a pair of 

 trim-looking mules. I soon recognized 

 Col. W. N. Haldeman, of the Louisville 

 Courier-Journal, and his good wife. Col. 

 Haldeman was the founder of Naples, 

 where he had a charming winter home. 

 (His sad death through a trolley-car acci-

 by his many friends.)
