Mr. August A. Pick, of Milwaukee, contributed 

 the following. It offers good proof that it doesn't 

 pay to start forth leaving your landing net behind. 

 I don't think that the event happening on a Sunday 

 had anything to do with its tragedy. The big out- 

 doors is the -best place I know of in which to wor- 

 ship God. I am sorry for the man who doubts the 

 Supreme when amid the wonders of His lakes and 

 streams. 



I wonder if you would be interested in a few lines 

 from a stranger one who considers himself neither 

 an authority nor an expert. Nevertheless, you can 

 put me down as a dyed-in-the-wool fishing fan, one 

 who has been at it ever since he was old enough to 

 play hookey from school some thirty years ago. 



Unfortunately I have not the leisure to devote to 

 the sport that I should like, but I do manage to get 

 in a vacation of two or three weeks every summer, 

 which I usually spend at some lake in northern Wis- 

 consin. These trips have been so uniformly delightful 

 and satisfactory that it has never occurred to me to 

 consider any other locality in my plans. I may envy 

 the fellow who has fished in Florida, the Rockies, and 

 Canada; but as long as Fortune keeps on smiling on
