Fishing nt Snntn Cntnlinn.
Just before Christmas tho rain
stopped for a few days, tho sun camo
out, and Snecd hungry for a chance
at some of tho wondorful fish about
which ho had been told, and outfit
ted under tho direction of a native
sportsman ho had mot, went to
Avalon, on Santa Catalin, and flshod
for three days for bass and tuna. Ho
caught some.
Now It happened that on tho even
ing of tho third dny tho entire party
of sportsmen adjourned over to Long
Beach on tho mainland and Indulged
in a little social session. During tho
evening when overybody was fooling
pretty good and telling fish stories
Sneod tried to tell about some good
catches ho had made in Wisconsin
and tho upper peninsula.
Ho never got to finish oven ono
slory. Nobody paid any attention,
and all woro bored. Finally ono
said: "O, that's all right, Sneod.
It's alp right for fresh water fishing,
but It Isn't really fishing."
This was too much. Sneod nroso
in wrath and said:
"By tho big log Jam in tho Flam
beau, I'vo listened to you Califor-
nlniw brag until I'm tired. I've
stood for your sunshino through
wooks of pouring rnln, your big
trees, when I wno freezing for want

every ono I buy 13 too darned sour
to eat, but I'll be blamed If I'll stand
for your fish. I'll bet a healthy mus
klo could lick any fish of twico its
weight you hnvo got, and I'll bo d
if I bnr shnrks."
