to jump out of his canoe to save it and another man 

 brought his canoe down leaking. Neither man seemed 

 exactly happy. However, there's very little pure hap- 

 piness in this world and perhaps the adulterated article 

 tastes all the better for its mixture with a little misery. 

 In a few minutes the loads were changed and we 

 were off again down the river. After a run of about an 

 hour we saw the lights of the Chesuncook House looming 

 up bright and cheery in the distance, and in a little Avhile 

 we stood within its hospitable doors. We found it chock 

 full of guides and "sports," and among the latter was a 

 goodly proportion of " lady sports." No less than four 

 of the "short skirt" variety, who, with their "little" 

 rifles, their "little" boots, their "little" jerseys, their 

 "little" fishing rods and their "little" fellers, made the 

 scene an interesting and we might say (although hanging 

 should be the penalt}^ for such a pun) an amooseing one.
