And was filling his basket very fast; while yon might have wen that hi deadly hook Wu differently baited for erry cat. le caught 'em a f aat as a man could conn t; Little or big, it wa all the same. One bait wa a check for a round amount; ' An Assemblyman nabbed it and out he came. He took atgem that as Saturu ishone; It eank in the water without a sound, And caught a woman who long was known As the best and puret for miles around. Sometimes he would laugh, and sometimes sing, For better lack no one could wish. And he seemed to know to a dead sure thing, The best bait suited to every fish. Quoth Satan: "The fishing is rare and fine!"

But still the Dominie made no sign.- A woman's garter went on the hook; I have him at last," quoth the devil, ning; bright- Then Satan's sides with laughter shook. And he landed the preacher as quick as light- ning, S e l e cte cl A DOUBLE ERROR. BY A. T.
