f Ihs weather was not severe enough to
frceio them solid, thus mere was
enough water to give tho trout piny In
their dodging of enemies, particularly
tho Jostructivo minit.
"JUMPING" FOR TWO MONTHS.
Trout havo been "Jumping" for two
; months, That proved two things; first,
that there wero plenty of trout, and sec-
', mi. that there wore Insects to Jump for;
I and when Insects visit tho streams so
Ions uerorc me oiuciai opening oi spring,
that Is a sign that tho backbone of winter
i broken nnd that tho trout nro being
well fed up for their nthletlc bouts with
the angler.
For a trout's no fun unless ho puts up
Fa good fight These nristocrnts among
r'flihare as hlchstrung as race horses, and
r that Is what tho angler wants them to
le he wants to "play" tneso ague gladi
ators of the brooks.
So thero was a great testing of delicate
T ipllt bamboos six or eight ounces In
weight, ana many oi tnem, wortn 50; of
silver reels nnd silken lines, the oiled.
ft, enimeled lines, nnd catgut leaders, thin
ner than mandolin strings, the part of
the line nparcst tho hook.
It Is not only the great light the trout
puts up to get away that makes tho
sport; it is also his cluslvcness In being
marked down and of being persuaded to
! bite and bite right; for, ns they say, "If
.one trout gets away he runs nnd tells all
the other trout In the pool and then they
all are wise."
If a stream has n large flow and Is
iipre,ad leave It; they prefer a meadow
'itrenm with deen holes and nools and
overhanging banks. They leave streams
Etonnlng through wooded sections where
lithe woods havo been cut away, raising
pUhe temperaturo of tho water, for trout
l do not thrive In water over D5 degrees.
UU.VT LET THOUT SKE YOU.
v The fisherman must keep out of sight,
I keeping, If possible, a short distance from
the hank until ho gets to tho plnco at

JOB HOLDS MAN WHO
CANNOT "SHAKE" IT
Postmaster Oliver P. Smith, of
Horsham, Pleads for Re
lease, But in Vain.
The world Is full of Socialists, ;iillau
throptsta ami other "lut.t,"
And thcu arc full of man)) plans to
pet a person irark;
But Smith Is looklnu for a plan his
Job to can; he icants a man
Who'll make his rcslpnallon take so
he can loaf and shirk.
The man who can show Oliver P. Smith,
of Horshnm, Montgomery County, how to
loso his Job ns postmaster will earn his
everlasting gratitude. Ali-o ho will bo
providing the postmaster with n cure for
Insomnia, becnuse for the last seven
monthH Smith has been lying awake
nights trying to figure out a letter of
resignation that will tnke.
Smith's tenure of ofllce started In 1873,
so that he has been on the Job every tiny
except Sundays and holidays for 43 years.
Seven months ago he sold out his general
store to William H. Hoyt, made tho lat
ter deputy postmaster and sent n letter of
resignation to the Postmnstcr General,
strongly urging tho appointment of Hoyt
to succeed him.
Every once In a while since that tlmo
Smith has written letters Insisting that
ho has resigned. To each he gets a
highly formal reply, explaining that "tho
department will tnke action In duo
course.' Now he's afraid the department
may take a notion to tnko Its time, in
which event ho probably will be post
master for six or seven years before tho
action starts.
Postmasterlng at Horsham requires
about three hours' work n day. Men who
work for Uncle Sam In such positions
may resign, but they ennnot nult until ho
says so, becnuse they are bonded nnd
bound to keep an t-ye on the Job until
n successor Is appointed. Smith Is won
dering what action the department would
tnko If ho died.
WOMAN ACCUSED
OF PLOT TO KIDNAP
Continued from PnRe One
ho said, that she "only wanted to scare
tho woman."
According to Cook, Mrs. Groce later
enlisted tho services of another Camden
man, who nlso refused to be a party
to tho kidnapping. Tho postal Inspectors
nro now trying to locate this man, who
Is believed to be called Chase. Mrs.
Groce. tho postal Inspectors said this
morning, had offered them JM0 to re
lease her when she found that she had
bren trapped.
Tho prisoner met Postal Inspector Ker
nan at the Green Tree Inn last night,
believing him to be another applicant
for tho position she Is alleged to have
offered of "night work" with a '"danger
ous mission." Sho walked with him three
hours, closely shadowed by Postal In
spectors Wynne and Hawksworth, who
had been sent along ns reinforcements.
In the belief that the advertiser and
letter writer was a desperate character.
She took Kernan into the paint shop
firHt. where she asked him to onng Mrs.
Butler, according to tho detectives, after
he had "knocked her on the head," If
shn xhowed anv resistance.
Inspector Kernan was assigned to the
case after F. J. Moore, of Wilmington,
had turned a communication over to the
postal authorities which ho had received,
it Is alleged, from Mrs. Groce. Mooro
had written to her In response to an ad
vertisement. ,
Correspondence with the advertiser was
continued by Inspector Kernan, who
signed himself "F. Putts." After the
Interchange of Beveral communications
"Putts" was Instructed to meet hlB em
ployer last night at the Iloso Tree Inn,
at West Chester, after sending a descrip
tion of his appearance. The Inspectors
say that the letter indicated that a crime
was contemplated.
When Mrs. Groce Introduced herself
at the Inn as the writer of the communl
cations Kernan and his fellow otllceru
were astounded. . Unsuspicious, Mrs.
Groce led Kernan to the paint shop and
Instructed him to bring Mrs. Butler
tr, thA bulldlnc after he had allayed her
suspicion by representing himself as a
chauffeur sent by the son of her intended
victim, who Is In the automobile busi
ness In this city. When the other postal
Inspectors, who had concealed themselves
In the shop, heard enough to Justify an
arrest, they took Mrs. Groce Into custody
with Kernan. uney am not uiauuae mo
fact that Kernan was an inspector,
Mrs. Groce demanded to know why she
was placed under arrest, and was In-
formed wai Bne auu er igmiu -""""
would have to go to Jail and explain what
they were doing In the paint shop. Mrs.
Groce broke down on the way to the
West Chester Prison, according to the In
spectors, ahd confessed that Bhe was the
writer of the letters. She said, however,
that she had only Intended to keep Mrs.
Butler a prisoner In the deserted house
for one night. The postal authorltle
say she told Kernan not to hesitate about
using his revolver Mrs. Butler refused

lies nro well known. Mis. Oioce Is to
yenis old, and said she was divorced from
her husband some tlmo ago.
According to the authorities nt West
Chester, Mrs. Groce nnd the husband of
tho woman sho Is charged with planning
to abduct had been on Intimate terms
for a number of yenrs. They said today
thnt one of tho letters she hnd Bent to
a man who answered one of her com
munications had contained Instructions
about using ether nnd suggestions tor
"tho disposition of tho body." From this
tho postal Inspectors believed that Mrs.
Groce would have considered murdering
her prospective victim.
The Jail where Mrs. Groce Is confined
Is directly across the street from tho
rooming house she conducts at ISO West
Market street. West Chester. She has
two grown sons, one. Frank, who Is 22

Sho has also a daughter, Edith, who Is

of the intter. Edith, nn attractive 15-year-old
girl, that Mrs. Groce was threat
ened with nrrest Inst summer. At that
time, Butler admitted today, Mrs. Groco
tent letters to tho young woman's mnn
friend. At thnt time Mrs. Butler told tho
postal authorities who were called In on
tho case that sho would drop the prose
cution If Mrs. Groco discontinued annoy
ing the members of the Butler family.
Butler today admitted ho knew Mrs.
Groco well. Ho refused to deny that
ne nau paid for a course In millinery
for the woman In this city, but said all
through his acquaintance with Mrs. Groce
ho hnd been "actuated by philanthropic
motives." Ho said Mrs. Groco approached
him on the Btreet a short time after sho
arrived In West Chester from Woodbury,
N. J., flvo years ago At Hint time,
ho said, she said "she was a poor widow"
and he volunteered to help her. Later ho
called at her house. He said she tried
to prevail on him to elope with her, but
that he icfused. He snld he did not
know how a key to tho paint establish
ment owned by his son and himself In
West Chester came to be In Mrs. Groce's
possession when sho wns taken Into
custody hist night.
Butler admitted that Mrs. Groco had
disclosed Ills alleged relations with the
woman to his fiimll, but said he had dono
soothing more thnn nnv gentleman would
In aiding a woman In distress. Butler re
