The A. G. A. camp is at the foot of Grind
stone island, on the shore of Eel bay. Canoes
were drawn up on the beach here, tents
dotted all around, and the smoke of little
camp fires assembled all day. 1t was very free
and easy and very jolly, That person is no
man or woman at all who does not enjoy
now and then the freedom of the wild woods
There were about 800 canoeists present at the
meet. The camp was place of great inter
est to the people of the surrounding islands
The association chartered propeller, which
made four trips day, touching at the neigh
boring islands. She brought large numbers
Of visitors, who inspected the great canoe
camp as curiously as if it had been Barnums
circus or the Wild West show.
A canoe is an unsociable affair, an old
bachelor OF old maids boat, for both men
and women sail therein. 1t only holds one,
or, in a great pinch, two persons The APP
proved shape has only the hole in the middle,
as you see in the illustration. All the rest is
decked lightly over and full of air. This adds
to the lightness of the craft 1t weighs so
little and is so buoyant that it will run in six
inches of water readily, and foot is ample
depth.
Mr.. Baden Powell is the champion canoeist
of Great Britain. Mr.. G. Bowyer Vaux, of
the New York Canoe club, is the champion
OF America His racing canoe is the Lassie,
the fastest one known. The Lassie is very
Light. She carries ninety-two feet of sail and
less than seventy-five pounds ballast She has
two center boards and deck tiller. When
there is very slight wind she carries a spin
maker to give her additional sail Under
meath the covered deck are packed tent, bed
ding, cooking utensils and all things needed
for camping out The Englishlnans canoe,
kke everything else English, is heavier and
broader than the American one. Even it is
not so very wide, however, being only thirty
inches across. 1t carries 150 pounds of shot
bags for ballast.

OFF FOR A PADDLE RACE.

We may expect canoeing to become more
and more popular in the next few years. It
is an exhilarating recreation that can he pur-
sued in our shallow, crooked waters through
out all North America. The Indians under
stood this before us, and constructed every
where the light bark boats that shot in and
out and up and down streams like darting
fish. They had war canoes and peace canoes,
The lightest canoes can be carried over rap
ids or swamps just as the Indians used to
carry theirs. In camping out, canvas
called canoe tent, is stretched above the
cockpit, and benesth it, inside his craft, the
pleasure seeker may unroll his blankets and
sleep like top, with his boat either drawn
upon the shore or anchored out
Mr.. John HabbertOn is an enthusiastic ca
noeist. He writes:
The canoe is absolutely tile only all
around small boat in the world: that is, the
only boat that can be easily ami safely used
with either paddle or sailor oars, ii a man
is depraved enough to pervert things from
their proper uses.

NYE ON T. JEFFERSON,
The Author of simplicity and His First
Client--T. j. as Fiddler.


Thomas jefferson, ESQ.,, the author of
Popular brand of simplicity, was born in
Albemarle county, Va, April 13, 1913 His
family were of Welsh extraction, having
been successfully extracted from Wales prior
to 1919.
His father was Peter jefferson, and his
mother was Randolph from away back.
Peter Jefferson was the father of nine chill
dren, and his wife was the mother Of an equal
number, of which Thomas was the third. In
1857 7. Jefferson died, leaving his son 900
acres of land to pay taxes OH. The son also
received thirty slaves on the death OF his
father, and by selling of yearling or two
year-old slave every spring and fall, Thomas
was enabled to attend college and polish HIM
self. AT the age of "A years he graduated in
law under George Myrtle. He became good
lawyer and Il fluent collector OF fees
1t is not generally known, outside OF Mr..
| Jetfersons family and few personal friends,
including the writer, that Thomas was some
what given to the violin habit, yet such was
the case the violin case perhaps, hut we are
not here to write fippantly of this great man.
| Let us not try to be funny over the weakness OF
one who, whatever may have been his peculi-
arities, was the originator of a system of JEFF
fersonian simplicity and offensive partisan
ship which has made our broad land rear W
on its hind feet like great rock in "a weary
| desert.
| Mr.. jefferson could rapidly play "Gray
Eagle" and the Devils Dream" at the age OF
| 10, and up to the day of his death was pas
sionately fond of practicing on the violin ii
dark room and then attributing the sounds
| to some one else
| He rracticed law for eight years with greaf
success starting in by renting an office ant
looking out Of the window thereof for 81,
months, when one day poor widow woman
with carload of children came in and fel
on his neck weeping in desultory manner
which took the starch out of Mr.. J.'s shir
frill.
"Ah," said the author of simplicity,
"why do you come in here this way, dea
madam, and weep all over me when l am en-
crossed in business, and worried with m!

"Alas!" said the woman, with fresh snor
of woe and wild wall of wet anguish, ono
