Max Beerbohm, at a dinner of the

years ago they visited America to-'
gether. Mr.. Tree had been detained,
and Max had preceded him. with Mrs.
Tree, to the obscure, if prosperous,
town at which the company was to
appear He had not been long at the
hotel there before gentlemanly
negro arrived bearing verbal invi-
tation from the Eagles society to
dine with them on the following
evening.
Max did so. He found he was the
guest of the evening, and it was not
until the chairman had got well into
the middle of his speech of welcome
that he found that it was Mr.. Tree
who was being eulogiZed. He decid-
ed not to break up the harmony of
the evening, but to keep up the il
fusion. and made a suitable speech
in reply.
When the Red Mountain Banner

with "Mr. Tree among the Eagles"
bidding its readers remember the
Mayfower and the great speech of
Actor Tree-whO is here to cement
the union between the old country
and the new" Mr.. Tree, by that time

himself. Max, however. prevailed on
him to let the matter drop. and my

collar button. He grew tired OF car
rylng his waders full of water and
thinking to empty them expeditiously
he lay down and elevated his legs
against rock. The results was that
he had cold water bath along his
spine, and his collar button is now
probably rusted. Thereafter when
he needed to empty his waders he
took them OF. Our catch of fish
made heavy loads to carry, and it
would have aided us greatly to have
been relieved OF them, but we still
had some spirit left. and would have
as soon thought of deserting our flag

this stage. Finally. at 10 o'clock, ex-
hausted, bruised. footsore and drench-

ourselves to gathering wood for fire

SOME PERSONAL EXPERIENCES

Probably few enjoy the above story
better than The Herald piscatorial ar
tist who is quite familiar with the
Brazzos stream and canon. 1t re-
minds us of little experience of our
own some seven or eight years ago.
In company with another fisherman
we left Durango for Osier where we
secured saddle and pack animals and
started across country to the head
waters Of the brazzos. The interven-
Ing strip OF country is certainly wild
and rugged. The Los Pinos is cross
ed about two miles west of Toltec
one. unmarked by animal life except
now and then an indistinct trail that,
If followed. is sure to lead one out Of
the way. Reaching the stream the
two OF us journeyed along its open
banks some five miles to within about
three miles of where 1t canons. Here
camp was struck for the night 1t
only took a few minutes to land
enough trout for supper and breakfast,
and soon we were dreaming of the
pleasures of the morrow. And such
sport, 1t seemed as though the trout
were guileless Sufficent to state
that In six hours the writer had 1926

jointed rods early to clean the catch
In order to get back to the railroad
early next morning-before the sun
became wearisome. 1t was after six
when the Job was finished and packing
the trout In gunny sacks and then on
the horses, We started back to camp.
The shades of darkness coming on,
made all clumps of trees look alike
all same coons-and for a couple of
hours search was made for the partic-
ular clump where camp existed along
with eatables. Hungry. No name
for 1t. But no camp was found that

Dead wood was hard to find where the
night was spent However, a com

the other froze. But. as with Mr..
Wright. all things have an ending.
and next morning camp was found to
have been passed two or three miles.
Osier was reached in time for the Du-
range train and 1t is needless to state
that warm supper and bed felt
very comfortable and that many
friends enjoyed trout for few days.

Brazzos the writer has also fished

Dear readers, let US pause for a little

Have you received a small pink slip,
asking you to remit the amount of
your subscription today?
If so, it means that you are sadly IN

method 20 arouse you to prompt ac-

In other words, we wish you to
send us the money you owe for which
by letter and bill we have repeatedly
ask you to pay.
These statements have been sent to
people high in church, official and
business standing, who enjoy an am
pie income and would not miss the
small sum demanded; but the returns
have been so few and slow that we are
at a loss to know the reason why.
We are giving the nation a splendid
paper. AS all can see, commendatory
letters come to us from every station,
and from every walk of life. There is
something interesting and profitable
to all classes and conditions Of readers,
and our steadfast contention for Ne
gro manhood, for larger opportunities
for development, for sturdy independ-
ence. and helpful portrayal Of the best
lin Negro character and achievement
combine to make the Colored Ameri-
can pre-eminently the paper for the
people. In our columns you will find
the scholarship Of the magazine, the
sprightliness Of the up-to-date journal
the spicy variety of the progressive
newspaper. the scintillating sparkle of
the modern feature" periodical and
the sledge-hammer blows of the IN
compromising race champion.
