You know full well that you do not. Half of those that do not get away are thrown away, and so much pis- catorial life is recklessly sacrificed that you may enjoy a day's angling. Years ago some humane per- son came to the relief of the angleworm by invent- ing the fly, so that now almost all scientific fisher- men use artificial bait, Why may we not carry this matter, then, to its logical conclusion and go after artificial fish? It can be done easily. Stock your ponds not with trout to be ruthlessly slaughtered for your pleasure, but with old straw hats, baskets, tin pails, and other insensate things that may be caught without the destruction of life. Let the fishermen’s items of coming generations read as follows, and all will be well: Harrison Bigwallet, of iglewood, N. J., landed a fine six- pound clothes hamper at Tuxedo last Sunday. He reports hoop- The Society of Amateur Whalers of Nantasket has anchored a large waterlogged feather bed three miles off shore for harpoon practice this season. While the chief reason for this is the scarcity | of whales in New England waters, the action was not taken until after representations had been made to the house committee by the Whale Protective Association of Chelsea. . A hundred rolls of el cut up into lengths varying from two to ten feet, have been placed in the lakes around Chau- tauqua, for the benefit of trolling parties this season. ‘The larger pieces require considerable skill in landing, since their weight is sufficient to break the ordinary fish line of commerce. eral of the smaller pieces have already been caught. A prize of the com- plete works of Izaak Walton will be given to the person landing the grossest tonnage for each month. A party of four fishermen at Long Pond, in the Piscataquis Lakes, reports a catch of forty pounds of barrel hoops in two morn- This is a remarkable showing, since none of the guides in ith these in this vicinity remembera any attempt to stock the pond rather gamy article: The prize enteh at Lake George this season is a carpet-bag WAPerensen: cone FOUR GREAT QUEST James M.

A WORD TO THE FISHERMEN. enteen pounds, which, upon being opened, was found to and a bottle weighing se contain a pair of blue overalls, a pack of playing of headache medicine, which, when mixed with cracked ice and a little orange peel, was found most agreeable to the taste. It was landed after a half hour's steady fight, with an ordinary bass hook baited with a piece of red flannel, In stocking your ponds with lard pails, be sure not to remove the wire handles, ‘The construction of these objects of the angler’s desires is such that it is impossible to.catch them with the handles removed, since there is nothing else for the hook to catch on. Willoughby Hopkins, of Mikimakimak, while trolling in Lake Windibago last Thursday, using a powerful magnet for bait, man- aged to land a couple of steel trolley rails that had fallen overboard from a freight scow during the period of trolley construction from Mikimakimak to Taskatikerbunk-on-the-Sasstikootchikoo. They are said to be the heaviest steel rails ever caught in American waters, A pleasant test of one’s fly-casting abilities can be had on land by placing a dozen ginger-ale bottles in a row on a lawn and trying to catch them in a small wire noose fastened at the end of the lin instead of the hook. This style of fishing has all of the excitement of trout fishing without any of the attendant expense for guides, boats, and so forth, T Many of us have be just the same. PEN.POINTS.
