terms. Anyone hearing Bro. j

convinced that it was a great

closed doors and can be known

Mr Simon Boston of Half
Moon told as Monday that
Lynch's river is getting in good
fishing order. Ever since we
heard this we have had a mighty
"onrestless" feeling.
Say, did you ever try it? Sit
on a high bank where the river
is swift; put a live horse-fly on i
a small larfgline and put him j
on so that you won't kill him;
gently thump the fly so that he
drops into the pocket between
the overhanging bushes; then
slyly watch as he buzzes and
circles fur an instant on the water,
and then, swish! is gone under
like a streak of lightning.
Did you ever see it? Did you ever
feel it? Then you have felt
just as Grover Cleveland, the i
greatest living American, has
felt.
