Dear TOM
You remember in my last epistle said
being coaXed by Charlie Green to join the Boat
Club? Well Charles accomplished his purpose,
and am now full fedged member of the P A.
of RS.
It's fine to belong to a boat-club, Tom, you pay
your little initiation fee of about two weeks
salary for which sum you get elegant locker
without lock, and if you lucky there are one.

that isn't all you get: No sir, there is nothing
cheap about this club, you surely get run for
your money There is a perfectly lovely balcony
with a chair on it for the exclusive use of mem
bers. It's inspiring sight I tell you, to sit in
this chair and see the SeniorEight." I lots
of nautical terms like that now, row up and down
the river to the tune of heartrending peadings
from the coach
Our coach, did you get that Tom? Our coach is
a fellow named Hawks and he is pippn. Maybe
you think that boy isn't the sincere cusser If any
one can get a winning crew out of that bunch he's
the lad to do it.
Watching that was my ruin 1 got the
idea that could row some myself if given half
chance. Remember how used to go canoeing,
and remember the time she tipped over when we
had those two fairies from Baltimore out? Tom,
you read about the old, old oaks in the forests
and the tales they could tell Why between you
and me- if my old canoe started to tell tales,
she would make those DID, old oaks look like

"Hey-No. 6-you blamed Mutt, can't you lift
your oar out of the water?"
No G. That's me- Tom. That is your little play
mate Now I'll tell you that just the trouble,
I couldn't But nobody but dog like Hawks
would have noticed little thing like that.
That oar was fast reaching the UNDERGROUND
weight and it took all my time and thought to
get it into the water Once when l couldn't

boat the handle of the thing, and it's no dainty
handle either flew back and hit me in the appetite
From then on | was all IN
The muscles in the calf of my right leg were
doing can-can, while those in my left were en-
tertaining themselves by having commissions. The
veins in my arms all swelled up, and that
butter-plate, sometimes known as seat was
going clear through me.
To add to all this physical pain, l had been
dubbed Blamed Mutt" Still,-Im glad it was
Blamed Mutt and not just plain Mutt,-Mutt You
see the Blamed adds sort of distinction TO IL
kind of sorting out from the common herd OF
Nuts.
There is no doubt about it, rowing is crowds of
fun. Mott!
I am in that club now, and have paid my good
money But the next time l go on the river Twill
be in little canoe or steamboat. never was
cut out for athlete, and there is no use bucl1ng

Baltimore fellow there Grace says ne is

OF course they ought to know, but he don't look
like much to me. One of these tactfu kind you
know. that sits up and talks about Paris and
London, when he knows perfectly we'll don

While standing, gazing upon the boat and medi-
tating upon the glories to be gained by being
of winning crew; Charlie Green, he's cox
swain, yelled unintelligable thing, the loud
and suddenness of which nearly jumped me
off the float I climed up into the pure fresh air
for at least three feet You know, Tom, have
and sometimes I can't hold them down.
I took quick look around and the other
fellows reaching a leg for the boat. I also reach
ed I placed my right foot gently in the boat, just
as had been told. l placed nothing more the
rest of me fell in.
Did you ever do that? Put foot in a per-
fectly tame, city-bred boat, and then have said
boat gently and persstently move away from the
float and that other foot? l wonder why it is you
can't either get the foot out of the frolicsome
little boat drag the other foot from the stern
old float Just have to stand there, you know,
with agony and remose pictured upon your count,
enance and do heartbreaking split until some
pulls you either one way the other.
But to return to the ]. Eight
We got out into the middle of the river and
rowed for about ten minutes. l did not splash up
more than of the men in the boat OF course

POPULAR MECHANICS FOR MONTH
OF DECEMBER.

More profusely illustrated than
ever before, containing, all told. POI
illustrations and 1872 terse. plain-lan-
guage articles which anyone can
understand and enjoy, the December
Popular Mechanics closes a year
record surprising all the annals of
its past. During 1908, the maya
zine has published 1900 articles and
1850 illustrations, covering every
thing of interest in its line: and
there probably is no other field that
offers so much of interest to the
average mind as mechanics and
science.
The December number describes a
new system of concrete construction
more extraordinary than Edison's
one-piece houses. The walls are
nodded flat on the ground and tilted
to position. The aeronautics fea-
lures are a wonderful new flying ma
chine built by California inventor:
a description of the Kimball hell
copter, embodying Edison's idea of
the conquest of grayitation; a brief
article on recent Wright aeroplane
successes; an account of Count
Zeppelin's recent work; and some
pictures Of the new United States
dirigible balloon. The new unique in
dustries Roadside Orchards and Sill
yer Fox Farming, are fully describ-
ed; freak photographs afford material
for an entertaining illustrated article;
a full discussion of Electricity on
the Farm" reads like revelation. In
marine affairs the article on the
ovation given the American fleet by
Japan will interest many, as will,
also, a picture of Brazil's new war
ship, more powerful than the Dread
