A FISHING STORY.
Here is a pretty fishing story from Scotland. The chatelaine of a fine old country seat had gone out with rod and line to get trout from the neighbouring burn. The burn runs at the bottom of her own lawn and its waters have been ‘cunningly dammed to form a natural cascade and pool for the rock garden. Returning with an empty creel the old Scotswoman cast tier fly nonchalantly into tho garden pool. To tier amazement she got a lusty bite at onco. In her own words she got so flustered over the unexpected catch that she forgot to play the flsh altogether. With one mighty heave she jerked a three-pound trout clean out of the water over her head and sent it flying through tho kitchen window, where it came to rest flopping and gasping on the table in front of the astonished cook.
