AN EXCITED ANGLER.
He Lost His Head For Awhile, but
Landed His Fish.
If there is any place requiring a
cool head it is when one is in a
light boat or canoe angling for heavy
fish in deep or swift water. Undue
excitement has cost many a life
such circumstances.
A curious example of the outcome
of undue excitement has just been
related to me by a fact,
the individual himself.
Unfortunately for my friend,
though a man of thirty-five
yet only once previous to this
had be experienced the joys
of angling.

pine woods, and between trains, aft-

The tug on the line, the bend-
of the rod and the screeching,
whirring too much for him,
and, giving a spasmodic leap, he
cleared the boat and landed feet first
on the bottom of the lake, that was
covered with live feet of water,
holding fast meanwhile to the rod.
The cool water calmed bis nerves at
once, and, being a six footer, he

for advice as to the proper way to
handle the fish, no one was to be
seen in the boat. Both his friends
had just simply rolled off their seats
and were guffawing with laughter;
the only thing to he seen by him
were two corncob pipes that his
friends had removed from their
mouths and held aloft while they
roared with amusement.

on sick leave to the convalescent

his health among the hills there
was robbed of his heart and in re-
turn captivated the charming thief.
The young fellow proposed and was
accepted, and with all possible dis-

But the colonel of expectant
bridegroom's regiment was strongly
opposed to the lieutenant marrying
and telegraphed an unwelcome
at to the amorous sub.
The chagrined soldier handed tho
peremptory message-to Ilia fair one.
She glanced at it and then, with a
becoming blush of sweet simplicity,
