usually work around where the water is 
not of t}fe deepest.” Mr. Adams opened 
his basket and began taking out such 
articles as he would need, first the larger 
reel was put on the heavier rod, after 
setting a tin can down on the seat by 
him From the ’can he took portions 
of the dough and rolling it into pellets 
the size of marbles began throwing them 
in the water on all sides of the boat, ex- 
plaining as he did so that it was just 
flour and water mixed to a stiff dough. 
Matt said never a word, but sat watching 
it all as he adjusted his hook to the line, 
then began putting on a worm. “I would 
put on three or four large ones,” said 
Mr. Adams; “these fish like a good size 
bait.” “Don’t look like good sense to me, 
’ough,” replied the boy; “fish don’t find 
worms in bunches much I guess.” “Eels 
do, on bobs, don’t they?” asked Mr. Wood- 
hull. “Yes,” said Matt, “but you have 
to have a bunch so’s they’ll last.” Fol- 
lowing the advice he put on several 
worms and setting the float so the bait 
was almost at the bottom began fishing. 
W HILE talking, Mr! Adams had 
opened a large can which Matt 
saw contained com which had 
been cooked until it was swollen ,and 
soft. This he scattered about over the 
water in a liberal manner and tit slowly 
sank to the bottom. “Here chick, chick, 
chick,” mimicked Matt as the com was 
scattered about. Mr. Adams, watching 
Matt closely, set a can down by the boy 
entirely unobserved by him until later on. 
Turning around, the boy’s eye fell on it 
and Lima beans met his view. 
His first impulse was to throw the 
whole thing overboard, but they were 
not his and he made no comment at the 
moment, but watched the two men slyly 
exchanging winks. Later on Mr. Adams 
put several grains of corn on his hook 
and helped Mr Woodhull with the dough. 
He had a small box of it with cotton 
kneaded through it so it would hang to 
the hook better. The larger can con- 
tained plain dough with which to bait the 
grounds. Presently Mr. Adams took up 
the can bf beans which had been cooked 
just enough to make them swollen and 
soft and began throwing them on the 
water. When this had been done he set 
the can down and Matt, reaching over, 
took two of the beans and the same 
number of grains of corn. Then, with 
his toe scraping aside a quantity of dirt 
which lay in the bottom of the boat, he 
deposited them at the bottom, and care- 
fully covering them, he patted the earth 
down and resumed his fishing. No one 
said a word for several minutes. At last 
Mr. Woodhull asked: “What is your 
idea, Matt?” “I’m plantin’ corn ’n 
beans so’s to raise suc’tash for ketchin’ 
carps,” he returned “might’s well have 
it all on one cob like corn, or meb’e it’ll 
grow in a pod I do’ know.” Both men 
fairly exploded with laughter over the 
whimsical idea and a little later the boy 
giggled. Mr. Adams, removing the corn 
from his hook, selected two of the largest 
and whitest beans and carefully put them 
on the hook, passing it through the heart 
of each. Matt watched the process with- 
out a word, expecting to- see him strip 
them off and apply some other bait, but
