The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1892-07-16

The art of canoeing calls for some
very sterling qualities. The man who
follows it must be brave, coolheaded,
agile, strong and patient. Though the
canoe may tip over, he must not CLOSE
his head" but deftly right it again
without shipping too much water. He
must learn to sit in the canoe, tip it
over, go under with it, make COM
plete turn and come up fresh as daisy
without showing any signs of distress.
Unless man can do this he is not good
at all in an upset race, in which all the
contestants, after forming in line, at
given signal perform this feat before
starting to paddle. It is awkward for
the man who cannot make the aquatic
somersault promptly, because his COM
panions in the race might be padding
far away from him, while he, head
down, waiting for help, might 'pass
into the immensities" before aid could
reach him. FREDERIC G.. MATHER.

Guessed It Every Time.

B1NGHAMToN, N. Y, July 14.-The
wit of the southern ssCracker" is illus
trated in the following incident related
by Colonel Thomas Markham, who re-
Gently returned from a trip to- Florida.
The colonel went to Florida to examine
a tract of valuable" land which he
found had been sold by the gallon in
stead of by the acre. His nominations on
the return trip were therefore anything
but pleasant, and as the train halted at
way station for water he decided to
vent his rancor on genuine Cracker"
who was cultivating measly patch of
corn near the track.
"That's handsome patch of corn, "
was the greeting.
"Fair, stranger, fair" was the nom
chalant reply.
"That land won't raise over half a
crop"
"Guess yer right, stranger; pap didn't
plant only half crop"
"Well, it won't be half grown" said
the capitalist, growing red in the face.
eyer guessed it agin, stranger, fer
pap planted popcorn"
'sYou won't get over half crop out
of that dod gasted SOIL" roared the cap
italist, his ire getting the best of him.
Fright agin, stranger" replied the
"Cracker," leaning on his hoe. "Pap
planted on shares" and the train moved
out, bearing one Disguised passenger
amid the roaring crowd. q. G. r.
