John burroughs is well known as
one of the foremost nature writer's
In this country. Some time ago he
visited his brother, Eden Burroughs,
who lives in the Catskills, at a place
called Hobart. The two brothers went
for hunting together. The honor of
the hunt came to Eden, who shot the
only fox. So 1t happened that fox
skins were worth i've dollars at that
time, and the successful Nimrod took
much pride in telling how he got the
better of the sage Of Slabsides. Later.

Dragged about that fox hunt long

skin and got I'VE dollars. I wrote q
little account OF the hunt, and got
$75 from the magazine which publish
