GOOD REASON FOR STOPPING Youthful Angler Out of Patience But of Something That Was " Quite as Important. The old man was" an enthusiastic fisherman. To him there was no sport like sitting dangling a bit of string at the end of a polo. He set off in pursuit pur-suit of this hobby one afternoon, and, Just before reaching the river, met a lad coming back, his fishing-rod hanging hang-ing limply over his shoulder. "What's this, sonny?" exclaimed the man, in good-natured reproof. "Surely you are not giving up so soon? The fishing will be better still in an hour or two." "I know," replied the lad, sorrowfully, sorrow-fully, "but I'm going home for all that." "You're quickly tired," scoffed the older angler. "Next time you come out, bring more patience with you." " 'Tain't that, mister," the lad answered. an-swered. "I brought plenty of patience, but not enough bait."
