RECREATION. 



the way and I began to coax the bass in 

 again, but the old fellow still had consider- 

 able fight in him, and contested every foot. 

 Good tackle finally mastered him, and I got 

 him up to the boat and into the net. He 

 pulled the scales to 4 pounds and 13 ounces. 

 Did I holler? A farmer who lived on the 

 shore of the lake fully ^ of a mile away, 

 came running down, thinking some one 

 was in danger of drowning. Under the 

 circumstances I think it was my privilege 

 to holler, don't you ? 

 Before starting for home Will took his 



camera and strolled up the lake shore, 

 thinking he might, perchance, get a pic- 

 ture of a live bird. And he did. As he 

 neared a farm-house, he found another 

 spring chicken that, although the sun was 

 well up, had not come down from its perch. 

 Like our own little waif, it seemed to be 

 in poor health. Will made a sneak on it, 

 and when he returned home he palmed 

 off the picture on the good lady as a 

 portrait of her dear departed, which he 

 claimed to have made a few days before 

 we started on our trip. 



DO YOU KNOW? 



That all men ha\e their price and some 

 get it? 



That the door to success is always 

 marked "Push"? 



That we believe the onion to be a scent- 

 ury plant? 



That the fool who keeps still may be 

 taken for a man of sense? 



That many a boy keeps shady for fear 

 of getting tanned? 



That a man with horse sense should 

 know enough to say neigh? 



That if you can not have what you would 

 like, you should try to like what you have? 



That we would better try being as good 

 as we advise others to be? 



That it is more difficult to train a miss 

 than to miss a train? 



That you would better cease growling 

 about this world until you find a better 

 one? 



That it isn't what you have, but what 

 you don't want that will make you happy? 



That hard water may be made soft by 

 adding soda, and soft water becomes hard 

 by freezing? 



That a hundred men can only make a 

 camp, while it takes a woman to make a 

 home? 



That while some people are free with 

 their opinions you will never find a pro- 

 fessional photographer giving his views 

 for nothing. — The Clinic.
