Almost every day you can see some of the citizens of the city with their little can of worms and fishing pole hiking out to one of the streams where they will sit on the banks for hours and angle for the lit¬ tle fishes, not one of which is as large as the ones referred to when Christ fed the multitude. But speaking about bites, you can get plenty of them. Some of the boys on return¬ ing to town look like a miniature re¬ production of the Alps, where the mosquitoes have been getting in their nature illustrations. Everyone knows that there isn’t ten pounds of fish within forty miles of this city, but just as sure as the lord made little green apples, when a sunny day comes the boys just have to go, that’s all.
