To the Editor: The undersigned wrote such a masterful article on instructions in re> gards to fisMng' a yr. ago that 1 have been est to write another one and try te make U somewheres near twice as good. I can't be all over the sountry at GQCe L>ut Luej i&jr thai uOiii uOW Ou Is the best time to fish in either fresh or salt water or both at the same time on acct. of Being the open season for the new kinds of fish which have been discovered since the last fishing article 1 wrote. In the old days before these things happened, why If a person lived on a fresh water pond or rivulet, hhj all they had to do way to bait their hook widb spinach and they were practically sure of dragging in a muskle, a pickerel, a perch, a pestilence, a sword fish, a swage, a sercd or a craimv. Bat now days since tbey have found out about the new kinds of fish you have got to use a whole io'i more Jutigiueut* That is why 1 have been approached on all sides with a view to learning the new secrets in regards to bow te fish for the new kind of fish. Would like to exclaim at the outset that I have long been a student of what I sometimes call the tinley tribe and am known around home by a nickname t once give uiyself, namely, the Piscatorial artiste. Lots of people 8till call me Isaac Newton on acct. oi the mastery 1 have get over the piscatorial profession. WeU to make a short story stll! shorter, the latest fish {hat can be caught in saediutu water, that Is, half way between salt and fresh and vice verse, is the geffel. The aimrod must first lay on their back and read an evening paper. Along about five o'clock you bait your hook and cast U off the side of the boat or hammock or bicycle or whatever you waa in to start with. The Jbait must be sage dressing out of a turkey. U will Improve matters a good deal if the fisherman keeps reading the comic pictures of the paper and laughing aloud as that makes the geffel think he is not la earnest. Sometimes It Is necessary to have two evening papers as the geffel don't always agree on which is the funniest pictures. The first time Com mod ore Gallagher of the Knickerbocker Yacht club fished for geffel, he had no less than three comicsupplements and hau to read one and a % before 'ie even got a nibble. By that time both he and the geffel was laughing their beadi^off. That put them both on easy st. Another fish that has recently been discovered In all kinds of waters and some kinds <»f milk Is the prone. The word prone means laying down face , foiwtijsds- on .pour stomach and that-Is where this scion of the flniey tribe > got its name on acct. of it always lying down face forwards on Its stow, ach. In o.der to catch them you bav«J got to first wake them up and turn them over and ask them why tbey > was laying ou theii stomach. It may oi been from cramps or something, but as soon as you find out then you know bow to fish lor them. U It was cramps you give them some kind of indigestion tablets which I won't men tion no names oo acct of free advertising. but If that b: what it was, they will get very grateful and «.urn over on their side and then Is the time to NOTHER of the ceremonials that make home snch a likeable place at Christmas time is the making of the pretty, colorful candles to decorate the tabic, Oi fill Small uCxcl and baskets for neighbors and friends to whom one wishes to give a little something more than a card.

Yes, they really asked permission. They were not like those that sneaked in the back way during the hunting season and shot and carried away all the turkeys on the farm but two late hatched ones.
