IT'S A CHRONIC .CASE. While in This Condition our Friends are Asked to Help Take Care of Him if they Run Across Him. During this beautiful weather I have developed a first chis case of Spring fever, something my friends claim is.chronic in my cnse, and simply another name for laziness Be that as it may, it ii the timo of the year when I long t- throwiasic.e the cares of business, with its hum. drum duties, get away from the burly burly of the town and off to the woods, lakes and forest streams. where far from the busy haunts' of man, with 110 one to-SssE Ime, I can be as lazy as I please, commune with nature while in her happiest mood, loaf around all day and go alishing. Many of the disciples of 'Isaac Walton" prefer to g deep into the heart ot the forest and with oie or two boon coniplious an1d camping outfit live a half savnge life, cook their ownu grub, cast the fly for the finny denizens of the inountaini streams and call it spori; but to me it is too much liko work . I would ratlier lounge on the mossy bank, with my back against an oak tree and after impaling the wiggling worm on the book, spit on bait and watch the bob. It is bet.. ter adapted to my constitution and feeling. There is too much familiarity about camp life to suit me. It makes too many, st range bed fel lows. I never had any desiro to associate too closely with rod bugs, jiggers and other creeping things of earth, and therofore I can't slenp as well on the bosom of old mother earth or on the soft sido of the hemlock bough, as I can on the t mattress or feat.r bed. They e may talk ot the soothing qualities c of'the voices of the night, and of I nature's lullabys, of tho sighing of the breezes in the i roe tops, and the t patter of tho rain drops on the fly I of the tent, all they please, but I don't wvant any little rivulet~s or dirty water forcing its way betweeni the shilrt collar and the anatomny ini f mine. It don't agree with myiv nervous system'.< Again, I havo made it a role I through life never t~o wandeor so far awa y that I can't gct back thm reo times a day to the women folks and the cook room. I would rathier chance the mys torieos of boardin'g house hash than 1 catterpillars in a frying pant of1 half cooked fish, or catterwallers in the soggy biscuits. it may he that I am cranky about these little things, but somehow those little things in my food make me feel a little squirmish and affects my appetite. My frionmds say I am "too lazy to go fishing,'' but somehiow I always considered fishing as a lazy man's job. I rather onjoy decep water fish ing, if the sun is ntot too hot and the other fellow pulls tihe boat. When I go on the lake I always want a willing companion wit h me, one who is willing to pull the boat, for I am wvillinmg that lhe should, so V e never disagree. I believe I would go fishing to day if it was not so much troublo to dig the bait. Speaking~ of bait, there are many different kinds of bait, and many different ways of toting it. Some -have paintod hait boxos, others use old tomato cans or sardine boxes, but the malority of' 'y fish erman acquantances carry it in the hip pocket or the inside pocket of 4 -the coat. For these follows it gen erally requires from a pint to a gallon, owing to the luck of tile fisherman. After reconsidering the matter I don't know as I care ,to go flshinug, this spring fever makes mae want to aet ont of tnwn and lout awhile.
