Along about this time of year, an imperative desire be gins to stir in the breast of the average citizen. He wants, in short, to go a-fishing; he doesn't much care where, and he doesn't much care whether he catches anything, but ho does want to go, and the desire makes him restless. It would be a mistake to suppose that he really envies President Roosevelt his ability to get (in it great yacht and sail off to piratical seas to hook tropical fish six feet long. That is fishing do luxe, and for the ordinary man it's a thing to dream of, but not actually to desire. His wants are ever so much .simpler. . 1 . .,. , It all begins when the first really springlike day comes strolling along. The air drift's past his 'nostrils' with an Un settling, winey tang to it, a couple of Jlttle white'clouds tum ble lazily across a blue sky, hopeful birds chirp foolishly amid budding branches and the fisherman begins to see visions arid di eani dreams. ' His vision, as like as not, will take him a long way back In time and apace. He'll see a boyhood scene a looped streamlet wandering without purpose along the reedy bottlers of pasture-lota and plots of woodland, with a mossy dam and an old mill somewhere In the distance, and a barefooted youngster In a tattered, over-sized straw hat loafing contentedly toward Its banks, a crooked fishing pole over his shoulder and a tomato can full of worms In one fist. Ho , will see this, -or something like it. from his own past; and while ho will remember all sorts of stirring Incidents connected therewith, Hiich as tho catching of prodigious suuflsh and rock bass 'and an occasional repulsive-looking bullhead, he will remember chiefly the aiira hat usrid to invest such expeditions that unforgettable, priceless aimosphefe of perfect happiness, perfect contentment, and Indolent, 'care-freo well-being auch os no ono but a boy with a fishing pole ever ready knows. And it Is the memory of this that Unsettles bur sober citizen, 08 lie meditates on the business of fishing. Ho may not know ft, but what he really wants Is to recapture an echo of 'that long-lost and halcyonlc time that he knew when ho wasi In. .knefl-broachus...'.'.: -'. , i DR. H. W.PARKER FORMER PASTOR HERE, PASSES ON Rev. y. H. Hertsvoff, pnstoi of tho Methodist Episcopal church, received U wir this morning stating that 'tho. funeral of the late Dr. H, W.
