came with the entrancing beauty of the 
surroundings. I followed the stream for 
half a mile and noted its trouty aspect 
with keen interest. I watched the water 
closely but saw no fish. I was about to 
leave the stream with feelings akin to 
disappointment that perhaps after all 
the brook was barren of trout, when my 
attention was attracted to numerous 
grasshoppers wasting their time in friv- 
olous broad jump exercise. 
I have always been in doubt as to any 
good purpose, except one, for which the 
grasshopper was intended. Every an- 
gler knows that as an article of diet, 
both the lordly salmon and the prlincely 
trout esteem the green variety of hop- 
per, as a sweet morsel to appease their 
epicurean taste. So, to further my in- 
vestigation of the stream I command- 
eered a half dozen of these hoppers for 
that purpose. 
It was a selective draft for I chose 
only large, healthy looking specimens. 
One at a time I threw these tempting 
morsels into the stream. Nothing hap- 
pened until the fifth hopper had scarcely 
touched the water when there was a 
swirl and a goodly sized trout took the 
lure into his rapacious maw with light- 
ning speed. The sixth hopper met the 
same fate! I was satisfied! I had dis- 
covered a trout brook within an hour’s 
journey from the door of my house! 
There I was away from the dusty road 
of travel, finding a resting place where 
God’s smiles give new visions of life in 
all its peacefulness pursuing the 
even tenor of its way along the lines of 
least resistance. There the little folk of 
the wild are seldom disturbed in their 
happy seclusion, and the endless variety 
of nature’s greenery is unscorched by 
the burning sun. 
I left the stream with hope big and 
expectation high in anticipation of fu- 
ture days. I came away also with a fa- 
vorably modified opinion of the value 
of the grasshopper. But, for his as- 
sistance that brook might still be to me 
a miniature “River of Doubt.”

I wonder how I can get out of this?
