FISHING WITH WORM 205 



to be fished for with a worm, not in unsophisticated preserves 

 where we may say of a worm 



Oh, no ! we never mention it. 

 Its name is never heard ; 



and the majority, certainly, of south-country fishermen will 

 be disposed to add, " and a good job too." Still there are 

 districts where its use is universal, and where to stop its use 

 would be to stop the sport of hundreds, and to interdict fishing 

 for at least one half of the fishing days in the season.
