There are trout fishermen who think there is as much good luck in the | first fat trout as there is in the early ! worm, and these are getting their tackie ready and preparing to make the first start to whip the old trout streams. And the early worm is recognized as good bait, but he does not appear in trouting lore as the “angle dog,” but as the “barnyard hackle” The country bovs who fish instead of an- gle do not know much about flies, and are less -they like to show the fish they catch with pure food The angler with a costly outfit takes | a different view of this nd | he depen ipon the art flies, but ot a few are in doubt as to the corrac 1se of and there is a wide variance of opinion as to the proper combinations.

He paid the bill when It was presented, but went home in a fine rage. His first wife, he saild, paid for all such things with eggs and butter. “Very well,” replied Miranda, “T'll send them to the store if you prefer,” and to the store they went, but Eras- tus found no butter on the table, and the supply of cakes and pies fell alarm- ingly short. Now, as has been said, Miranda was an admirable pastry cook, and when Erastus hinted that he miss- ed his custard and squash ples, the shrewd woman told him with a sigh, that they were too poor to afford them, for all the eggs and butter had to go |to the store. | “I guess we are not so poor as that, “snapped Erastus, “Use the stuff at home after this when you like,” and, with an inward smile, she did as di- rected.

Miranda felt encouraged and made another venture, The following Sun- day notice was given from the pulpit {that the Dorcas socie would hold their next session with Mrs. Erastus Tompkins, A ripple of surprise went about the congregation ,while Erastus | grasped in dismay at the unexpected tidings. But he had learned by this time that he no longer controlled all the affairs at home, and kept silence till they were driving home after meet- ing. Then he said: “What are you thinking of, Miranda? |I've always declared I'd not have that |lot of women in the house, and it wiil | cost a great deal, too.” | “I'm afrald it cannot be helped now,” | was the quiet reply. “It was my turn to entertain them, and I wanted thein to see what a gemerous nusbana 1 {have.
