"1 don't know any fii.li that will stand P riving up the ghost longer thau a fcj&i of Lckawa-k oatflah, uulcas it might I be a frozen pickerel. Back of Lackawack frozen pickerel, of course. There is no telling how long a back of Lackawack pickerel, frozen alive, would keep from being dead. looet Decker's big one had a record of a week. "lie caught it through the Ice on White Deer pond. Dooset was chopping cord wood near the pond, and one awful cold day he thought he'd take a few pickerel. By the time 'he got one hole chopped I through the ice and a line in he con I eluded It was too cold to stay there and i fi", and lie was on the point of skating j back and warm up by chopping wood w hen ! a pickerel grubbed his bait, and after a struggle Dooat t landtd'hlm out on the ice. "The pickerel was a six-pounder, as near as Dooset could Size him up, and as Doo set went to. take the book out of him the big fish turned on him with glaring eyes and pitched Into him. " 'lie was tremendous mad.' Dooset used to say, telling about it, 'an' If the weather hadn't been so fuarful cold the chances arc that he'd a drove me off ihe ice, the way his jaws did play them big rows of teeth around me. As It was, before he began to freeze he had ripped my clothes almost off of me, an' my buckskin gloves was hangin' in tatters. But the cold overcome him Jest in time, an' while he was still pitching into me he froze stiff.' "Dooset found the pickerel still lying here a week later, threw It across his shoulder and tramped on home, seven miles, over to Promised Ind. He chucked the f.-ozen pickerel in one corner of the kitchen and sat down by the stove to talk over th.nss with his folks. "He had Deen. there maybe half an hour when be heard a great racket off in the corner where be had stowed the pickerel. Looking over that way he saw the pickerel prancing around like a skittish horse. The big fish had thawed out and It was evi dently looking around to see what had happened to it. Dooset Jumped over where this was going eu sud was reaching down to grab the pickerel when the pickerel saw him. " "He reco'nlzed me,' Dooset said, 'an' then it all come back to him about the fight with me on the ice. He sprung at me, and roun' an' round that kitchen we had It. hot an' heavy. By the time every chair in the kitchen was uppet an' the table slammed up ag in the wall till every thing crack id an' we had circused 'round the stove a dozen o' times or so, my folks got over their skeer enough to go an' git me the ax, an' I got a couple o' clips In with it on the pickerel's skull an' laid him low.. After that," said lMo.iet, '1 never kelched no pickerel through the ice on White Deer pond that I didn't knock in the head good an' strong 'fore they froze, so there wouldn't be no danger of 'em thaw In' out a week or so later mebbe an' takln' issue with me on my own h'arth stun.' But this Is merely incidental. What I was saying was, Jost what we uMd a boat with a deep well in it for when we fished for catfish back of Lackawack I don't know, but we did; and the fish had plenty of water and room to swim around In after we caught 'em and chucked 'em in the well. A New York chap came up to have some sport back of Lackawack one tlrne. I took him In charge and found that he wasn't much on the hunt for fish, but he was willing lo ham. "I took hin. out to show hlin how to, fish for catfish one night. The nit; tit wa good and dark, and we anchored out boets side by side en a spot wh'-re 1 knew the fisuliib' was g..o!. "The New York chap landed two or turee catfish before I got any, and he felt so good that he said he'd bet me a few dol lars that he'd show up mors catfish in his well when we quit for the night than I would. I was a little sporty myself in those days, and I asked the New York chap about how many dollars tie felt confidence enough in himself to risk ou his luck with catfish that night, and he said he guessed maybe a couple of dozen. "I felt guilty as Mam Hill to do it, know ing that when it came to hauling In cat fish there wasn't anything even back of Lackawack that could hold a candle to me, but the New Yorker was so kind o" cocky and aggravating In his willingness to back his ability to beat me fishing that I said I had Just about a couple o' dozen o' fair to middling sized dollurs that said he didn't know what be was talking about, and 1 took his bet. "Then I began to fish. I kept a catfish In the air almost all the time for an hour or so, and thinking that I guessed I had enough In the well to wariaut me lit tak ing over those foolish dollars of the New York chap's that he had put in danger, I asked him if he thought he was ready for a show down. He said he was, and we pulled for shore. "I went to my well to pick the catfish out and count 'em and th New Yorker began his count. 1 almost fell wul ut my boat when Instead of findlnv h. ,.n ,, but crowded full of fish, all I could fln.l was lour. And the. New Yorker was coun ting catfish out of the well in his boa five ut a time until he had run 'em ui to sizty. "That's all," said ha. "I didn't say a word, but handed my couple o' dozen dollars over to the New Yotker like a little man. I thought for a while that ha didn't know how It was tha he had caught all of those catfish and 1 had so few to show up, but from the wav he asked me next day If I wanted to go out after catties that night and bet on my self again I kind o' doubted his innocence. Me had fished Jn the well or my boat and caught my catfish out as fast as I landed 'em and put "em in. "I guess they use boats with wells in "em when they fish for catfish up back of Lackawack to this day. Just what they do it for I don't know.'VNew Yurk tiun. Lee W ant Ads are business boosters
