IT'S IN THE AIR AGAIN'! ......
. 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
