The old ' flsbermman, announc­ ing that it waa a big monk fish, knocked it off with his huge gaff. In­ side its mouth was a dog fish. When it was removed a mutilated haddock was found to have been the original snare, enticed by the little monk fish. H. G. Ball related adventures of himself and Mr. Steele in not catch­ ing fish in the Washington country last summer. The two men caught one trout, which later almost got them In trouble. It was I the _______ show fish at Sanctuary lakes, a private preserve In Skamania county. Mr. Steele, in order to keep the stories rolling, told a few himself, as be Introduced raconteurs. One of these, which was vouched for by 8. E. Bartmess, had to do with a huge salmon that was hooked one day up Hood river. The leviathan started off down stream and the fisherman followed. The fish looked back over its shoulder, and instead of taking a bend in ths stream ran out on dry land, wbere it was clubbed to death. Mr. Scobee, after the onslaught, threw in the sponge, and asked the judges to award the belt to someone else. Rev. Hutchinson, without parley, announced that the unanimous verdict of the judges had awarded the tkle to Mr. Steele; that be had fallen lato the pit which he had dug for some other teller of talea on incongruous veracity. Leslie Butler, who for a number of years has been one of the _ staunchest . __ supporters of the T. M. O.
