Fisherman’s Luck. 
In the Catskill foothills a New York travel¬ 
ing man who was making a trip overland passed 
an old man who was fishing with hook and line 
in a small stream. As the drummer drove by 
in a bugg.v the old man never took his eyes off 
the bobber in the water. 
When the traveling man returned late in 
the afternoon he was greatly surprised to see 
the old man still in the same position, with his 
e.yes glued on the bobber. 
“Hello, uncle!” he shouted. “Any luck to- 
day?” 
Without taking his gaze off the cork, which 
rested on the surface of the placid stream, the 
old man replied: 
“Had a nibble ’long about noon.”—Judge’s
