THE COLUMNIST I am looking forward to fish- ing on the 24th of May. Why do I so carefully set the date?' Because I have been going to fish since the ice went out of the lakes. I have made several attempts, none of them success- ful. I hazarded an appointment for five o'clock the other morn- ing. Five o'clock in the morning is a simple thing the afternoon before. One talks about it very casually as if it meant no effort. The tackle is made ready, fishing clothes are set out, and the alarm clock, well no that is not necessary, because five o'clock is just three hours away from one's ordinary getting up time. It was the full of the moon, and fish bite better then than any other period of the month. The big trout, the twelve and fifteen pounders like the full moon, and a dozen or so can be got in an hour or two. So five o'clock it was, and all set. I don't know what kept me late that night, I think it was a neighbours sick cow; anyway 1 did not get home until taoree o'clock, two hours away from getting up time. Being 'always truthful, I must admit I hated that appointment, and the more I thought about it the more I hated the man with whom I had made it. 1 went over in my mind the excuses I could make, tomorrow, or rather later on the day, when I had flunked. But none of them seem- ed any good. I had either to go through with it, or be a piker. All of these thoughts and more, while I was getting in, and after I was in bed. At 3.30, I could stand it no longer, zip went the bed clothes, and with a black crayon, I wrote on a large piece of paper, '"Kept up very late last night, sorry but' not able to go."' This I pinned outside on the back door, and 'returned to bed. I expected words of reproach in the morning, every 'phone ring, seemed my knell, but noth- ing came through, That after- noon, I sauntered to the other man's office, banishing coward- ice. Said I, you get 77' Said he, "Oh, I didn't wale up. " "And that was that. As I said before, I have made several such absortive attempts. but now I am set for the 24th of May. It will be a tremendous effort. I have to drive over thirty miles; te where I take the boat. This of course, the afternoon before. Then I sleep on the floor of a shack, and rise with the bittern. Then fifteen miles (to a secret lake, reached partly by several portages. Shall I, enjoy my bacon and eggs, jam, chip tinged toast, and spruce tainted coffee? Yes I shall. Then I shall be ready to fish. I shall set myself gingerly in' a canoe, and if in luck, I shall not paddle. I shall (what a lot of ""shalls") put a red and gold bait on the end of the line, and pay it our thirty yards. Then I may wait an hour, (Ihave reach- ed the "'mays"). 1 may get tired, and hauling in the line, ® a plug in place of the spoon. Then 1 may catch a jumping, wriggling pike, and there is no Tar about it, he will be "How many fish did the a Announcements eh EY VY k See 5 Announcements in this column are charged at the rate of 50¢ per inch, per week, with a minimum char ge of 25.

Then my partner will say (bringing in the wills) "Funny, they're mot biting this morning."' Possibly the words are hardly out of his mouth, before I have a strike, "Careful now," will say my companion, "Play him a little."" And T will bring him up to the boat. We shall both exclaim, 'What a monster.' I shall brace myself to gaff him. and the fish will possibly give a flop, and lost forever will be the largest trout we ever saw. Disgusted by this time, be- cause wise fish do not bite in the middle of the day, we shall return to the shore, and talk it over. About four or maybe five in| the afternoon, we shall try it] again. I shall paddle this time, and the other man will discard spoon and plug and put out a wriggler. He will possibly catch a dozen of seven to twelve pound trout, and tell me all the way home how it is done. As sure as Fate, these are the things that will happen. How do I know all this? Well, T have been going through this agony for thirty years. Still, notwithstanding, but, otherwise and all that, nothing but death or paralysis, will stop my outing on the 24th. £1) SE: () SD- () SD- () SR () SD () SAD () SD) S- () - SH (ED () GE () SD () Gy AAAI SPINS PIPPI PPP PSPSPS SPS SIP INS = i FLIES FLIES FLIES | Combat them with | TANGLEFOOT FLY SPRAY S Rid your house of flies, moths, mosquitoes, bed bugs, I fleas, roaches and ants, g 8 oz. bottle with hand spray ........... ne 5 00 i 8 oz. bottle with mouth spray . fv va 30 3 16.0z. can with mouth spray ................. .50 | 32 oz. can with mouth spray ................. .85 2 1gal. can .......

Stamrocks 14--Sandies 10. The Shamrocks, last season's remodelled C.Y.P.C., were forced to come from behind in the clos: ing innings of the Men's Soft- ball league opener, at the Public School grounds Tuesday night, to win from the Sandies. Ob- viously not up to mid-season form, the game was nevertheless bitterly contested and only after the last put out in the ninth were the reinforced Shamrocks sure of vietory. Count Sfreddo making his first appearance as a hurler, and Fred Yaworski constituted the Shamrock battery with Frank Colliss and Dennis Wright working for the Sandies. Lorne Whiting and Les. Withrow | officiated. * kx Skeeters 27--Ramblers 11. For six innings it looked as if a change of name would win a ball game, as the mewly named Ramblers rambled 'all over the Skeeters at will. Swinging lusty bats which bespoke much rolling pin practise during the winter, the Russell coached matrons swamped last season's champion Skeeters in the first two frames and ably protected their lead un- til the {fatal seventh when the pace began to tell. When the dust was laid after this melee, fourteen Skeeters had scored, eighteen batters in all facing Spicer, who was rushed to the showers, and Berrey who was MRS. McINTYRE BEREAVED Mr. Louis Prichman Russell, of Roblin, Man., father of Mrs. A. Melntyre, passed away in Win- nipeg Sunday morning. Mrs. Melntyre was in Winnipeg, hav- ing gone there last Friday, and remained for the funeral service, which was held in Winnipeg Monday night. Burial took place at Roblin, Man. The sympathy of everyone is cxtended to. Mrs. McIntyre in her sad bereavement. Miss Hazel MecGogy, R.N., of Fort William, arrived in Dryden Monday morning. called to the rescue. A large 'gathering of supporters was on 'deck for the first game in the series and lustily cheered the Ramblers who always please with their game and sportsman- 'like efforts. Blake and - Bailey formed the battery for the win- ners, with Spicer, Berrey and: Brampton for the losers. Les. Withrow handled the indicator. tJ #* = Rangers 23--Red Sox 13. * Playing their first game as a club the Rangers hammered out a win over the Red Sox on Wed- inesday evening by the score of 25-13. Extra bases on slow handling of hits was partly the cause of the catastrophe. Winter on the mound for the Rangers was steady though not quite up to last year's form. Freedman and King shared receiving duties for the winners. Duncan and Barber worked for the Red Sox and deserved better fate. Um- pires--Les. Withrow, Thos. Foote and H. J. Adair.
