The Fish That Get Away. r rpiBshed in the old Ohio When a freckled, bar* tout boy. Pulled ''casts ' from the in i. With a hickory pole And carried them 1 onv with Joy, An« anyone the \ eats, V...... large and small. That 1 hooked In my by; me day Whê cat that I wanted m -t of •< I Was the one that got away Tve tossed the Ii\ t-ly shiner With rod of supple steel Where lie the bass *y the floating grass And brought them in with the reel. Sut of all the bass I of. r ■ a ght None was so large and line. Jione sent the blood through my veins so hot, As the bass that broke my line. Tve waded the clear, cold northern streams And have east lor speekled trout, Have found the II y That took their eye And lured the beauties out. But of all of the trout that ever rise From many a teeming brook None loom so large In memory's eyes As the ones that slip the lio. a. 8o runs the world. Our wisest words Are the words we fall to speak; The sweetest kiss la the one we miss: The sweetest grapes we seek Hang Just too high, and we long and i look I And sigh as we sadly say The best of the flsh that come to our hook Are the flsh that get away. —Century Magazine. ! ! : ■ S 1 | i j ( obi mon Hnmor at Fault.
