man got promises from relatives to
harvest the crops of the members of
his party, and once more he was all
ready to start eastward with his
group.
But no one can count on the NOR
row. While one of the Indians was
engaged in settling up his affairs
preparatory to departure, a white man
ran amuck and ended that Indians
life by putting a bullet through his
body. In the words of Mr.. Cushman,
that stampeded the whole bunch, and
l had all my work to do over again."
He did his work over not once, but
twice more. Then, one day, as the
end of the third month of his stay
among the Cocopas was near, he babe
the tribe good-by, and with twenty
of it's number, Head Chief Pablo Col
orado and Second Chief Capt. Tom
Moore among them. and a three-ton
Cocopa house in wagons, started over
land 100 miles to reach the nearest rail-
road running East.
The two men who brought the first
Patagonians, now here. TO this coun-
try. also spent weeks at the task.
Their difficulty was twofold-tirst, to
locate the Patagonians, and after that
to prevail upon them to fall in with

now you have him, now you haven't.
AS a result, Vicente Cane and his COM
panion had to travel on horseback over
the pampas for weeks before they sue

could be made to believe the good that
would come to them in far-off Ameri-
ca would infinitely more than offset

waters that made men sick unto death
in their heads and stomachs.
For a time the success of this ex-
petition was imperiIed by the strong
insistence of Chief Gechico's wife, Lo-
renza, that her pet dog accompany
her on her travels. IF do me good, do
him good. too" she argued.
Mr.. Cane tried to dissuade the old
woman from her purpose, but whe1
she threatened not only to stay at
home herself but keep her husband
from making the voyage as we'll Mr.
Cane gave in. The dog is sSnow in
America. 1t cost Mr.. Cane a pretty
penny to get him here-something like
one hundred dollars for food, fare and
customs duties.

again rewarded by the knowledge that
the tribe was indulging in another
talk.
This time the redmen announced
that some of them would probably go

Mr. Cushman hedged. What did
they want?
In a devious way it came out Then
Mr.. Cushman shook his head He
couldn't give so much. The real bene-
1T was the good it would do them, not
the money. But maybe, If enough of
them would so, he could give so
much.
More pow-wow, more indifference,
and more food eventually led to a
compromise and the Indians putting
themselves on record that they would
accompany their friend to the ends
of the earth.
That night Mr.. Cushman slept in
the seventh heaven: the next day he
dropped back to earth with thud.
A delegation of COcopas stood before
MN. They had come to tell him, their
spokesman said, that they couldn't go
atter all. They had forgotten, the day
before, that the crops were to be
planted during the time when they
would be away That would never do.
1hey would have no food when they
came BACK. Then what would they do
ana their women and children? Their
white friend would have to go to the
great show without them.

Not long ago a small party. having
as their guest of honor the popular
chief executive of a neighboring state,
went on fishing trip down the river
on a small steam launch.
As it was too near spring tides, the
fishing was not as good as 1t might
have been. and the finny denizens of
oyster creek attacked the bait in a
very gingerly fashion.
After several hours of fishing. the
Governor had succeeded in landing only
a few moderate sized whiting and
croaker, when, all of a sudden, a big
fish struck him and got well hooked.
AS soon as the Governor found he had
a large fish on, he called out eXult-
antly:
"Ah. boys. look here if you want to
see something! Now 1 have got a
fish,"
Everybody started to see what was
doing; the Governor was pulling ex-
citedly. when the fish gave a start
and, unfortunately, the treacherous
line snapped half way between hand
and hook.
Gee" exclaimed the crestfallen dig
nitary, that was too bad! The only
decent fish hooked to-day! l tell YOU
boys, he was whopper!'
20 pshaw, Governor" said one of the
party. that is the same old story
always the biggest fish gets away"
STORY fiddleSticks!" exclaimed the
Governor, waxing wroth: Il tell you
that fellow was at least three or four
feet long,"
Il tell you. Governor" said another
that must have been propeller
fish"
"A propeller fish," said the Governor
with interest. Il don't remember ever
hearing of that kind of FISH before;
what sort is it,
He means" said one, that you got
your hook caught in the propeller of
the steamer
Propeller nonsense" vociferated the
Governor; do you fellows think
haven't got sense enough to tell the
difference between fish and the pro-
peller? I tell you IL was a fish. and
a big one think it must have weigh
ed fully fifty pounds"
Well. the party guyed and teased
the Governor most numerically about
the propeller fish" which got away.
and he kept getting redder and mad
der every minute. Finally. one OF the
company had the rare presence Of
mind to suggest a famous conversation
which once took place between the
Governor OF North Carolina and the

boat of its kind ever put into the

WHY Fish strike.

In a recently published book on fish
ing W. S. Hodgson. an English sports
man, argues that when a fish of the
salmon kind. or a pike. takes a real
minnow impaled on a fight of hooks
or a manufactured thing resembling a
minnow the fish is moved less by a
desire to eat than by desire to kill.
He derives this impression from the
fact that "a salmon or a trout, like
pike. will leave a whole shoal of min
nows undisturbed and rush at an inn
paled minnow or a phantom" A critic
of the book says: Surely this is very
far fetched. Fish and birds of prey
like human beings. are averse TO un-
necessary trouble, and as ii is easier
TO catch a wounded creature than
fresh one a peregrine will take an in
jured grouse or a pike a tethered or
spinning bait when it comes in his way
not because Of the instinct which leads
wild animals to kill the weaker breth-
rem. but from the natural tendency 20
take the goods the gods provide you
in the shape OF a cheaply earned and
easy meal" II may be added that old
guides OF Northern Wisconsin hold
with Mr.. Hodgson that the muskel-
lunge strikes the bait ordinarily only
when he feels savage and desires 70
kill something.

clature, says Outing. We find such
names as ''eel-back founder" so called

slime on its body when first taken
from the water; peacock founder
from the beautiful celebration of small
round dots of sky blue edged with
darker rings and other tints and shad-

the peacock; whit, because of it's thin
and fragile form and delicate organiza-
ton; diamond founder" from the pale
blush but somewhat scintillant
blotches on the body; hog choker

them would choke a hog; soft floun-

One of the queerest catches that ever
came TO a seining crew was taken by
Mike Walsh and his company of shad
fishers near the mouth of the Ogeechee
last shad season. One morning the
seine had been we'll set and was drift
ing beautifully with the ebb tide. If
all went we'll it meant some dozens of
the big fellows-roes and hickories-
to be sent to market next day. Then
there was heard a deep baying in the
woods and presently Mike and his men
saw a splash in the water at the is
lands edge and a black object making
for mid-stream.
The object proved to be a big and
fat four-pronged buck He struck the
shad net squarely in the middle, swim
ming four miles an hour. OF course
the frightened and fleeing deer be-
came entangled in the net: but he
made such plucky fight, notwith-
standing his difficulties, that he had
torn or tangled forty fathoms of the
net before Mike and his men cap
tured him, cut his throat and lifted
him into a boat. The deer weighed
nearly $50 pounds. So far as is known.
this is the only deer ever taken in a

Last week saw the full moon in June;
the ideal season at the beach for lovers
and turtles. OF the two. turtles are
the more interesting to evenly-bal-
anced people. 1t may be true that "all
the world loves lover" but 1t is
equally true that all the (hshing) world
would desert any number of lovers for
the pleasure of hunting turtle nests
and turning sea turtle. on the full of
the moon in June.
Almost every night during the past
week the beaches north and south and
midway have been patroled by turtle
hunters, and not a few of them (the
turtle, of course) have been turned;
and thousands of turtle eggs have en-
riched the baskets. bags and creels of
the sDortsmen.
One party of six hunters, Oh a beach
not far away, turned four turtles one
night. They could not possibly bring
away all of the catch, so they left three
of the great creature to bake next day
in the sun on their backs and die in
agony of heat and lack of moisture.
Another party turned three turtles,
brought away one and left two to die
by slow torture. Such hunting is cruel
and reprehensible. 1t would seem that
the spirit OF true sport would dictate
that the turtles that could not be used
should be permitted to return to the
sea. and live and reproduce for another
day. But there are some hunters who
kill for the mere barbaric pleasure of
killing.
