The Fisherman’s Luck.

Thar's a funny kind of foolin' that a feller I can’t define Whon he toes the water ripplin' from the wigglin' of hie line: An' he a too pa, a-smllln' sofUy, with a thumpin’ of his heart. Jest » pausin' fer a min nit to rive the fish e better start. Thar's a nervous sort of quiver In the careful, outstretched hand. That's a resthln’ fer the noddln' pole a stlckln' In the sand; An' he braoes fer a struggle that he knows his jerk awaits, ; ’Fore he oan land the whopper what's spoolin' with his bait Thar’s a-swlshin' of the waters—a jerkin' of the pole, An’ a cloud of spray's a flyin’ In the sun above the hole: > ; There's a sudden shout of cusaln'—then a (rrimlln' of the sand, Rends another lltUe tarrapln to the far-off promised land. —Edward N. Wood, In Atlanta Constitution.
