uisite pleasures of this trip, and I have we bundled into our waggon and bidalways felt glad they had this opportunity adieu to the scene of our delightful holiday. Goin Fishing. BY A. R. DOUGLAS. Goin fishing ? Guess I will;Kinder think therell beAll kinds of fishes great and smallDownstream near that old tree. The weathers hot, jes, scorching hot,And Im all het up too,So guess Ill take a holidayAnd see what I can do. Gee Whiz! its great to sit and dreamBeside the laughing brook.An watch the fishes jumpingAs they try to take yer hook ! And when you hook a great big troutIt kinder makes you thrillTo feel him pulling mighty hard,Thats when he tries your skill ! Them city-folks all call me RubeCos I act simple-likeThey say I dont know anything.Cant even ride a bike. But when it comes to fishin1 tell you what, theyre madWhen I come back with lots of fishAn they cant ketch a shad. You see I know the place to goAnd how to bait my hookIm simple, but you bet yer lifeI know this little brook.
