truth of the old saying that the boy l father lo the man in 1 it wu a great event to cross the atlantic especially for youngsters untler olovsn years of age mr cromwell describe the voyage he anil theodore nooevolt took w they were still in abort trousers one or the flret tilings i remember about the voyage ho soya was that after the ship had got out or sight of land theodore remarked half to him self as he gtonoed at tl water i guess them ought to be a good many fish here then an idea suddenly etruck him and turning to me be said george go get me a small rope nomowhere and well play n fishing gnroo 1 went after the line and while i was none he thought out all the details of the fishing gatae and had climbed on top of a colled cable for he was to be the qsherman now ha said as i handed him the line all you fellows lie down bat on the deck hare and make believe to swim around like rtahes ill throw one end or the lino down to you and the first fellow that catches hold of it is a fish that has hit my hook he must pull just as hard as he can and if be pulls me down off this coll of rope why then ho will be the fisherman and i will be the flah dut if he lets gi or i pull him up hero off the deck why i will still be the fisherman the game is to see bow many fish each of us can land up here the one that catches the most fish wns- the rtit of us lay flat down on our stomachs and made believe to swim and theodore s above us on the colled cable threw down one end 1 of his rope jay brother was thoflnt ash to bite then commenced mighty struggle it would seem to be much easier tor the fish to pull the fisherman down than for the fisherman to hour tip the dead weight of a heavy boy lying fiat on the deck below him my brother held on to the rope with both hands and wrapped his leg around it graper vine fashion theodore braced his feat on the colled cable stiffened his back and held on hut he did not pull much of course the dab pulled hard he rolled river on his back palling and twisting just as theodore hoped he would do you see all this time while my brother was using his strength theodore simply stood still and let him lire himself oat before long the fish was so- out ol breath that he could hot pull any longer besides the rope cut bis bands and made them ore then the fisherman oommencef lowly and steadily to pull on the line and in a very few minutes be had my brother pujled up beside him oo the coll of cable fc an unintentional offense the young woman stenographer of the comic paper chews gum with such assiduity that it la easy to see how the little

stories say ive listened toa ljtf of talk of hunters experiences the past couple weeks as i have been dropping into the poet office or pausing around the post office corner the res been talk about deer and porcupines and bears ajid then one of the hunters or another would relate personal ex periences its remarkable wnat good shots they ore and how nothing worth while got past them even the bears this reminded me of a story a true story too told me some years ago by young chap of my acquaintance when he returned horn from the yukon gold field x dont think he ever dremed id tell thq story print so 111 not give hie name here had a peculiar adventure with grlsaly bear the man laughs about the experience he had then he said he was walking alone one day with pack onhls back and an umbrella in bis band ha was going on a short journey over the mountains and he carried the umbrella as ho had been advised to do in order iu protect his eyes from the glare- of the sun ii had also been advised to carry a gui but this he did not do the young man wss walking ulong thinking all sorts of pleasant things and using the umbrella for a cane just then because he was following a trail through a rocky pass where the sun shine was nol bright about the same time started on his journey u huge oui grlxsly also started from away over the mountain as the yoang fellow walked thinking happily he didnt dream for m minute that a bugs old grlsxly bear was com ing straight toward htm uut sudden ly be looked up and there coming round a curve in a narrow pass was the bear the man could see at glance that he was one of the crassest hungriest old grtsslles thst aver took ft walk in that land of grlxsly bears our young friend did not ow or offer to shake hands ho could ee ibat would be useless what to do e didnt know but he bad to think of something quickly because there was barely room in that part of the trail tor two mnds to puss he decided instantly that it would not do turn around and try la rim away the grissly came swiftly toward him he told me and he looked the huge beast eimure in the eyes sad wulked to meet him in hi hund ha had the umbrella and no doubt the old gruuuy bud never jrefore eeeii an umbrella he pointed the umbrella straight mt is bear then he clicked the little clicker and opened the umbrella straight out toward the astonished bruin i umbrella wlhed us it opened and clicked again to the beur the umbrella looked its if it as intending to eat lilm the grissly hawked mid buektxl uml backed the story goes until it found a spot big enough to turn uroqnd ini then round he turned and away ho fled thj last the young chap uw of the bear it was still running and that seems to have been the way with most of the deer and bears and porouplnea up in the parry bound district

we did- have venison to enjoy when fhe boys came home from the north after their denr- huntfng expeditions i confess to you i never shot a deer myself though thero was an occasional one seei btty years or so ago 1 always hked the sprightly snfraals for thclpbwiuty and the innocent look btlayi have on their pretty faces some seasoned hunters will say of course that i couldnt shoot a doer because of buck fever well i gucee have to be more explicit then i never went doer hunting in my e t have shot hares and wild plgeoneand part ridge and jilack squirrels lots of them but with the pretty bucks and fawns it always seemed different to me but remember i never turned up my nose at a nice mess of venlsun when it came my way in the old farhack days we had men about her who loved deerhunt ing in the fall about as well as any kind of sport that could bo mentioned there wero edward nlcklln and mlkq speight and bob coatee and tommy cameron and quite a lot of others they used to get an occasional deer over in the gore and down on ihe mountain at spcyalde add st helena then they got to going up to gera fraxa- for their deer hunting just about fifty years ago a party com posed

overton had iqne farming from acton a few years brmre they had a great time and wonderful success hunter werent limited to one deer each in those days the fleetfooted animals were numer ous and every hunter was a law unto himself and was at liberty to shoot and bring out as many as he could handle ill tell you they brought home a prune lot of fine bucks that time and how we all did feast on venlaon uut yegr mary and i and the family had roasts and steaks and boiling pieces and the weather being cold we kept a prime roost for christmas and it graced our board with the fine bronze turkey
