HE CATCHES A FRIENDLY FISH
How a Girl Became^ a Member
of the^Sierra jFjshing Club ,
BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS DART
AY/ HEN I was about 8 years old I
"AT- went :.wlth my' parents _to "a camp
: in* the 'Sierra j Nevada . mountains on" "a j
beautiful \u25a0'. lake. It v was' very "wild in
1 those parts of.the woods and .the* dense
forest came' down to the edge -of the
: water;".'' \u25a0,;.'..,;•.:\u25a0". '7 \u25a0.'\u25a0.••\u25a0 '-".• ' .'. V;"'. ' ' ' '
i >, The party conslsted'of my
-'mother, \u25a0 father, two j ladles, two' gentle
men and a red setter v dog named Irish.
'\u25a0' {:\u25a0 He; was a t yery .peculiar ,'dog and- had
•unusual: ;traits : for ;; : a- setter, as It ;Is
I known that they are not especially, fond
•of water/ He would st£.nd for .hours in
.the , lake'andjflsh.'" ..Once\'lnVa while he
would get a small fish by giving 'a snap
and ducking his head:; lie would show
it to eyery -one 'and 'after receiving
would go and bury iC In
some safe place until his hunger would
Uellhim to get it. \ , ;.-' \u25a0/<:'\u25a0 >, \u25a0•:\u25a0'"\u25a0';••;• \u25a0;. ......
\u25a0 •'\u25a0 --The men, too, were great fishermen.-
They" would. '.'go out In' the launch ."or,
,'rowboat arid i stay all day. : They would
r come' , home and '/hungry,\some
! times . with ; fish, ,,: sometimes ,'j /empty
handed, but they al way's; had. plenty of
j'storles about "that big bass that must v
ha've\. weighed!^ six pounds," and how it
\u25a0 get r off \the; hook some way before, they
had : time to pull it In. ' .V- :
They,! had- every s sort of v tackle and
bait. -I always. wanted to go wlth.them,

little girl like you do out lh"a*boat all
day,' hardly ";darlngU<). move? .".Besides.
.you.'could not land'a bass If one did
get bnyburhpok." So I was obliged to
stay at 'home.';.';.; '~",5~V.,\ . ..<- { ;-- : ;.'''.;,"\u25a0.'..
One.day after |_ they had ,gone i' found
! an; old ;nshing. pole and' line .in .the rear
of \u25a0 the ;camp. \u25a0''\u25a0\u25a0 After , securing : a : nice fat
worm I.cast;my line, "Off "the, little dock
• that, entered^ the in front of.the
camp'and waited for a bite.' After "my
patience was nearly gone the Hne'began
to pull. It pulled so hard that I was
nearly jerked off the- dock, .'but I played
,lt,as I. had seen my father do, and; I!
slowly pulled it to, and fro until Iliad
reeled in most of my line; then, with a
swing,' Mr; Fish was flapping helplessly
-on thejdock. My, imother. was, watching,
me from; the. piazza and hurried down
to me, but I had already gotten, the fish
off the hook and was holding It at arm's
length. ,'» l " \u25a0 '* ;' ' .'< •"\u25a0'••\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0,- v . .'\u25a0" ' '•.'
I was very .proud of my capture and
could hardly, wait for the men^to.'cbme.
home.' Their luck had been poor 'and
they were in no pleasant frame of. mind.
.when they did return, as they did not
brlng t back a single, .fish, and said they
did not believe, ..that, there were /'any'
more fish -In the lake. . !*
While they werd talking I slipped but';
of the room and returned, bearing my
prize, my, nearly three pound imss. How
the men stared and how" happy I was
when \ they told me that they guessed
that they would take mo along on their
next trip. ...-." v ..'.•. s
My bass was cooked for supper, and, I
was promptly elected a member of thy
camp fishing club. [

An Educated Dog
.An educated, dog walking about on
his hind legs is not a very remarkable
object, . but we know one who walks
erect 1 - up.. and , down a* flight "bf steps.
One of hls> hardest feats I 3to jump
from one "stool to another, passing over
a cane held-. high in the air and landing
on his forepaws and hia nose.
His. master. also owns a cat, and the
two animals perform a very pretty lit
tle comedy, He ties the dog to a door,
puts the cut in a bag with Its head out
for air, and goes out/leaving some food
ou^the table. The dog slips his head
out of the collar and .eats the food.
Then he carries the cat,, to tho table,
puts, if by the side of th'e»emnty plate,
und slips his head through the oollij-.
The master returns, finds the food gone
and pretends to be angry];' He is about
to. punish the cat when the dbg comes
forward and In dumb show confesses
that he la. the .guilty party.
