Show Stuck to His Fish. The Neshaminy creek, in Pennsyl vania, in rainy seasons fills the ditches of adjacent farms with water from 18 inches to two feet deep. After a recent downpour three boys wenf fishing up the creek and In a ditch the lads espied three huge carp flopping about.' One of the boys Jumped intc the ditch and seized the largest fish. The carp, nearly as big as the boy, had the advantage of being in its native na-tive element, and plunged through tht water and mud, until the boy3 or shore thought their companion would surely be drowned. But at last the fish grew so weak from Its great efforts ef-forts that the boys dragged it out upon the bank, and there held it until It ceased to struggle. , Then they lugged their trophy home, put it on the scales and found that it weighed 32 pounds. |
