AUTOBIOGRAPHY 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 433 ) 
of the trout fishing on the Batiscan 
river, where the fish were too plentiful 
and too easily lured for real sport. I re- 
turned to the boat before breakfast and 
was warmly welcomed, inasmuch as we 
were out of fresh meat, a ground-hog 
case; and of all the different kinds of 
fresh meat, wild or tame, a broiled young 
squirrel takes the palm and the bjue rib- 
bon as well; and speaking by the card, 
although young in years, it holds the 
age in any company and on any occa- 
sion. So it is needless to say that both 
dinner and supper were enjoyed with 
great gusto by the guests and crew. 
T HE next summer the judge, a few 
anglers and I, boarded the “C. O.” 
at Cincinnati and steamed down the 
Ohio *to Cairo, and from there the gallant 
little yacht bravely plowed up the Father 
of Waters to the head of navigation at 
St. Paul, after a voyage of fifteen hun- 
dred miles. We were well repaid, how- 
ever, not only in the fine fishing, but in 
the beautiful scenery of the upper Missis- 
sippi. As we always tied up for the 
night we had the early morning and late 
afternoon fishing from Lake Pepin to St. 
Paul. At Lake Pepin several fine mas- 
calonge, as well as some large pike and 
many black bass, both big-mouth and 
small-mouth, were taxen. 
The mascalonge of Lake Pepin was at 
one time supposed to be a different spe- 
cies and was named immaculatus, owing 
to its pale color. There is but one spe- 
cies of mascalonge, whether inhabiting 
the St. Lawrence basin, the basin of the 
Great Lakes, the Mississippi or Ohio 
basins, or Lake Chautauqua in New 
York or Conneaut Lake in Pennsylvania, 
for, however much they may differ in 
coloration, there is no structural differ- 
ence. The very young, wherever found, 
are always more or less black-spotted, 
but as they grow older and larger the 
spots begin to fade or spread out, forming 
faint dusky markings of several patterns, 
and sometimes pale vertical bars or fin- 
ger marks; and still later, in very large 
specimens, these blotches, bars or other 
markings entirely disappear, the fish be- 
coming of an almost uniform grayish 
color. And these various differences in 
color and markings may be found in any 
one locality, whether it be in the Great 
Lakes, Northern Wisconsin, or the other 
places mentioned. There are some slight 
geographical variations both in form or 
coloration, but otherwise there is no more 
structural difference than in the pike, 
black bass or trout or of any widely dis- 
tributed species. 
Our party was about the first, I think, 
to enjoy the fine fly-fishing for the small- 
mouth bass about the rip-raps and re- 
cently built wing-dams of the upper Mis- 
sissippi from Lake Pepin to St. Paul, and 
which has since become so deservedly 
popular.’ Before returning down the 
Mississippi we made a trip up the St 
Croix to a trout preserve of which Mr. 
Rice, then Mayor of St. Paul, was presi- 
dent, and to whose courtesy we were in-
