Western field . , May is the month thatwill most gladden your heart as you fossickabout in the waters for the speckled goodsthat the gods will give you if you ask wiselyand use proper application. There is nowno torment of insect pests, no sweltering insummer furnaces; the air is balmy, refresh-ing and salubrious; there is a smell of green-ing and freshness everywhere, the matingbirds are twittering their love songs, theflowerets and blossoms are peeping smilinglyat you about every corner, and the flushwaters are babbling a full welcome. There isa virginal purity about all things, for May isthe maiden of your dreaming, who has yet amonth of youth and gaiety before she burnswith the passion of June or matronizes intothe plump ripe russet of August. It is themonth of promise, the season of success, andwhat old anglers heart but grows youngagain under her gentle influence! So get your tackle together—and the Lordbe with you! Life is at best only a briefthing and it is not always May. 294 WESTERN FIELD. T. Payne, 725 Baker Stret, San Francisco. A. M. Barker, San Jose; H. A. Greene,Monterey; J. H.
