RECREATION. 



XXVll 



A Smart Aleck newspaper reporter of 

 Altoona, Pa., printed a story about 2 Hunt- 

 ingdon men whom he said had been trout 

 fishing and had returned with 83 and 78 

 trout, respectively. The legal limit of trout, 

 under the Pennsylvania law, is 50 a day for 

 each man, which is at least twice as many 

 as any man should take. A warden went 

 after the men on a charge of violating the 

 law. They told him there was nothing in 

 the report ; that they had not been fishing 

 at all. The warden then looked up the re- 

 porter and he admitted it was all a joke. 



"Then," said the warden, "you will have 

 to go before a magistrate and swear that 

 you lied, and that these men did nothing 

 of the sort, or I shall arrest you for vio- 

 lating the law which provides a punishment 

 for the purveyor of false and misleading 

 information." 



The reporter reluctantly went before a 

 justice, made the necessary affidavit and es- 

 caped further punishment. He will prob- 

 ably not think it so funny to lie about his 

 neighbors in future.

 She said, with a satisfied grin.
