FOREST AND STREAM. 



889 



that the skin on all these here foreign niggers is plenty 

 loose. 



The Colonel— I have discovered that the vnild man of 

 the desert and also the wild woman, chews Yucatan gum. 



The Chief— I observe that the wild Bedouin of the 

 sandy Sahara always builds his fire out of cracker boxes. 

 Now where in Sahara does he get 'em? 



The Colonel — Yes, and where do these Nubian dai'lings 

 get their tallow candle hair oil? Thank heaven, they're 

 done dancing. 



The Chief— After the ball is over they take up a col- 

 lection. The dancing comes extra. See the Oriental 

 liouri coming for us with the derby hat? 



The Colonel— Another sweetening? This reminds me 

 of one of Marshall Wilder's stories. You know, a nigger 

 got run over by a wagon. The front wheels passed over 

 hiQi and when he saw the hind wheels coming, he says, 

 sort of surprised-like, says he, "What! again?" 



In the Temple of Luksor. 



The Chief {looking tip at the inscription)— i:\xej don't 

 spell this thing the way my geography does, and I'll bet 

 a hundred it's not genuine. They hang out a card an- 

 nouncing genuine Egyjjtian mummies, religious cere- 

 monies of olden times and all that. Shall we go in? 



The Colonel— Sure. That's good stuff, and the paper 

 ought to have it. 



The Chief (to the lady ticket seller)— Are you a mum- 

 my? 



The Ticket Seller— No, I came from Indiana. Tickets 

 twenty-five cents. If you don't like our show we will 

 hand you back your money. 



The Chief {pointing to sign on temple, of Yuksor) — I 

 see you announce Val. Blatz's Hofbrau. 



The Colonel— Is that Col. Val. Blatz that lived in the 

 third dynasty? Have you got a mummy of Col. Val. 

 Blatz? 



The Ticocet Seller— You might go in and see. You 

 can't expect me to remember all the mummies. I'm from 

 Indiana. I'm saving my money to go on the stage. 



The Colonel — That's right. Be a good gyurl and save 

 your money. That's the way we got our start, and now 

 look at us. Give us two tickets. This is on the house. 



The Chief {making notes as they inspect the mummies) 

 —I observe, item, one Egyptian monarch, Rameses I., 

 received in bad order. 



The Colonel— Yes, but you want to call it Ram'-ses, 

 not Ram-e'-ses. 



The Chief— What do you know about it? 



The Colonel— I used to go with a girl that was a 

 school teacher, and she told me this man's name was 

 Ram'-ses. That goes. This other feUow is Tot'-mes, not 

 Thought-mes. He"s Thot-mes II. Hello, Tottiel Little 

 disfigured, ain't he? 



The Chief— Yep. Love's young dream must have gone 

 wrong with him. He looks all broke up. 



The Colonel— Alas! Alas! Is this then the end of a 

 greatness like his— to be put away in a linen surcingle, 

 and exposed in a badly sunbm-ned condition to the Ameri- 

 can public, at twenty-five cents a clatter? Chief, there's 

 no use in our being great, after aU. 



The Chief — We'd bring more'n twenty-five cents. 

 Live-er matter, you know. The trouble with these fel- 

 lows is, they've kind of lost news interest. They ain't in 

 it now. 



The Colonel— They ain't no real, orignal, mummies, 

 you can bet on that. They're only electi'otypes. Hullo, 

 what's the fellow talking about? 



The Lecturer — Ladies and gentlemen: The high 

 priestesses of the ancient temples of Om and Ra wiU now 

 give their sacred mystic dances, including the wedding 

 dance, the funeral dance and the mythological mystery 

 dance of ancient days, after which all those so desiring 

 can pass on to the right and visit the ancient tombs of the 

 pyramids. I can recommend these tombs as faithful in 

 every respect. Remember you can see the tombs for the 

 sum of ten cents additional, only ten cents, or one dime. 



The Chief— Let's skip the Egyptian priestesses. One of 

 'em used to be cashier in a State street candy store, and 

 all the dances are alike. Let's tackle the tomb. 



The Colonel — We sweeten it for ten cents noch einmal. 

 Can't get into the tomb without a ten cent obolus. Come, 

 give up your obolus. 



The Chief — I don't know what that is, but if you mean 

 my watch, I'U have to go you. I'm going to see the end 

 of this Cairo game, if it breaks me. Fu-st you pay at the 

 gate, then you buy some bum-bum candy, and some 

 things for the loved ones at home, and ride a camel whose 

 legs are imxjartial in their joints and whose teeth betray a 

 lack of sozodont positively shocking — 



The Colonel— Well, if you had to carry three country 

 school ma'ams and a blame fool all at once, you wouldn't 

 care whether your legs worked forward or backward, 

 yourself. 



The Chief— Mebbe so, yes. Then you sweeten it to see 

 the Soudan niggers, and in there they spring a collection 

 on you. Then you pay to get into the mummy temple, 

 and pay again to get into the tomb. 



The Colonel— Anyhow, here goes. 



The Chief {at the sarcophagus of Apis)— Ho this is the 

 tomb of the sacred ox. It'd make a nice watering 

 trough. Say, I bet you Phil Armour could give those 

 people poiaters on preserving beef. 



The Colonel— Chief, remember we're on duty. You 

 can get funny, but not gay. Come on, this ox coffin is 

 like a good many other things; there's nothing in it. 

 Let's go. 



Fortune Teller {at exit from tomb) — Have your for- 

 tune told, gentlemen. Only twenty-five cents. Have 

 yoiu- future jxirtrayed by the only genuine Egyptian 

 fortune teller from the desert. Only twenty-five cents. 



The Chief— Well, by the great everlasting enchanted 

 horn spoon! 



The Colonel— We'd better go and write up our stuff 

 now, I reckon. But where's Katie? We might get his 

 fortune told. 



The Chief— Yes, where is he? I haven't seen the dog 

 for half an hour. We'll look for him down by the bum- 

 bum stand. 



{Achates is found curled up, dead, near the candy 

 stand. Expressions of horror from both young mm.) 



The CmEF— What! So? He's gone! Sweet sir, speak 

 but again I Wist not that great Danes will rise in price 

 when we come to settle? Speak! Alas! Alas! He's 

 gone. He was a dog which, take him as he ran, he 

 would not see a night like this again. 



Thb Colonel— It was too swift for him. 



The Chief — Yes. He couldn't stand the gait. 



The Colonel — And still there are some who say that 

 journahsm, with a big J., is a dog's life. We can npw 

 refute this error also. But come, weh must away! {Exit 

 both, bearing Katie by hindlegs.) 



[At this point the notes of the short-hand writer cease. 

 The forms have been held over an hour, but as we go to 

 press no copy whatever has yet been submitted by the two 

 frivolous and highly irreverent yoimg ruen who had the 

 assignment.] 



Later, by wire.— Can't get any story on Midway. Noth- 

 ing to it. E. Housh. 



B. Waters. 



Mr. Clark Sintz, president and superintendent of the 

 Sintz Gas Engine Co., had many kind words to say of 

 Forest and Stream, of its wholesome Uterature and clean 

 teachings, of the welcome it received at his home by his 

 family, all of whom read it. He is an old subscriber. 



Mr. A. Solmans and wife of South Norwalk, Conn., 

 gave the exhibit high praise. Mr. Solmans is an enthusi- 

 astic trout fisherman, and gave some most interesting nar- 

 rations of trout fishing in Maine and the East. 



Mr. J. W, Ten Eyck Burr, Cazenovia, N. Y., has never 

 let his subscription expire since Forest and Stream first 

 started. From bis expressions of esteem, I think that he 

 wiU always be a subscriber. 



This is but a mention of a few of the readers who daily 

 stop and pay their respects to Forest and Stream. Some 

 shake hands as they pass by in the dense crowd, with a 

 mention that they are old subscribers, and that limited 

 time in which to see all that wonderland, the World's 

 Fair, prevents them from tarrying. 



Mr. W. F. Gray, of Fort Worth, Texas, formerly of 

 Houston, Texas, one of the best known sportsmen of that 

 section, visited Forest and Stream at the World's Fair 

 several times. He at one time owned some of the best 

 setters and pointers in Texas, and, for that matter, in the 

 country. Big game hxmting now engages his considera- 

 tion, and he thinks that before many nioons he will have 

 killed a moose or two. Better sportsmen that Mr. Gray 

 do not exist. 



Mr. Frank L. Epps, Topeka, Kan, set himself on record 

 as one who admires Forest and Stream. 



Miss Fannie Pearson Hardy, of Brewer, Me.,^fter her 

 autograph wrote as foUows: "Bringing regards to Forest 

 AND Stream friends from Chas. H. Ames ('Ebumi')." 



W. P. Greenough (--G. de Montauban"), of Canada, 

 called and numbered himself among the enthusiastic ad- 

 vocates of the merits of Forest and Stream. 



Mr. John W. Titcomb, of the Vermont Fish and Game 

 Commission, put his name on the hst, as did also W. P, 

 Andrus, Minneapolis, Minn., Game and Fish Commis- 

 sioner. 



Mr. Royal Robinson, of Indianapolis, Ind., whose fame 

 in the land as a fancier of bird dogs and field trial judge 

 are well known, stopped during a few brief moments and 

 uttered some words of praise for Forest and Stream. 



Mr. Gus Haywood, Hampton, 111., said that he would 

 not attempt to get along without Forest and Stream. 

 He narrated some most interesting pei-sonal incidents of 

 big-game huntiag in the far West in the early 50's and 

 60's. The head of the mountain sheep which watches 

 with sleepless gaze from the wall of Forest and Stream's 

 exhibit recalled to his mind a moimtain sheep which fell 

 to his rifle, on Pike's Peak, in the early GO's. Long canoe 

 voyages are still a favorite means of recreation in his 

 outings. The years have not lessened his vivacity nor 

 energy, though they have added to his love for the best 

 sportsman's journal. Forest and Stream. 



Mr. Claude King, wife and sister, called and graced 

 Forest and Stream's cosy corner for a short time. On 

 the register Mr. King inscribed "Kate and CJaude King, 

 Denver, Col." The winsome little lady apparently en- 

 joyed the sightseeing heartily. To Mr. King the public is 

 indebted for that bright and clean periodical, S2wrts 

 Afield, whose broadness and kindliness are but a reflex of 

 himself and the section in which he lives. 

 ^ A bright, eager little fellow, eight years old, trim of 

 figure and natty in dress, stepped into the exhibit and 

 politely asked what Forest and Stream wrote about. 

 He was earnestly attentive to the explanation and left 

 his name, "Gustav Nadler, Chicago, 111.," in the register 

 in a clear even hand which would outrank by far the 

 average penmanship of his elders. He went away re- 

 joicing with a sample copy of Forest and Stream. 



As Mr. G, R. Greene, Jr., of New York city, wrote his 

 autograph in the register, he remarked that he subscribed 

 for Forest and Stream for three years in advance, and 

 his tone of voice and kind words implied that he woozld 

 do it again. 



Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Davidson admired Forest and 

 Stream pictures. Mr. Davidson, as the readers know, is 

 secretary of the Chicago Fly-Casting Club, but they do 

 not all know that he is one of the true kind of sportsmen, 

 all too rare, who love sport for its own sake. With a 

 simny, frank disposition and an amiabihty which nev«r 

 weakens, it is not to be wondered at that his confreres 

 all love him. 



On the register I note the name of C. M. Hampson 

 ("L'Eclaire"), Denver, Col., who wrote his name down in 

 black and white and vanished. 



Mr. H. C. Hammond and son, of Chicago, tarried at the 

 cosy corner a few moments. Mr. Hammond was at one 

 time superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, at 

 Little Rock, Ark., and is an ardent admirer of a good 

 field dog. 



Messrs. Walter M. Smith and A. S. Pitt, of Stamford, 

 Conn., had been enjoying some most successful duck 

 shooting on Horicon Marsh, in Wisconsin, and were 

 making the Fair a visit in the stop-over period of their 

 homeward journey. They seemed satisfied that Horicon 

 Mai-sh is a great duck ground. They reported large bags. 



Gen. W. B. Shattuc, of Cincinnati, General Passenger 

 Agent of the O. & M, R, R., made a pleasant visit to 

 Forest and Stream's nook, while Mrs. Shattuc viewed 

 the live fish and other exhibits in the Anglers' Pavihon. 

 To his fondness for sport with dog and g\m, General 

 Shattuc has added that of rod and reel, and is now a 

 member of the guild of anglers. Hereafter, he will take 

 more time to devote to his favorite diversions than here- 

 tofore. Of the class known as pure sportsmen he is. 



Dr. J. S. Niven, of London, Ont. , wrote his name in the 

 register and chatted on bench show jud^ng past and 

 present. The rea-ders will remember him as an active 

 and popular judge in thQ earlier days of bench shows.

POINTS AND FLUSHES. 



[By a Staff Correspondent.] 

 Under date of Oct. 13, Mr. Thos. Johnson, of Winnipeg, 

 mentions that he has sent two dogs to Mr. Lansdole, and 

 also that Sefton Hallana will handle four of his dogs in the 

 competition at Chatham, Ont. 



Mr. C. W. Tway, of Irwin, O., stopped oveir a day to visit 

 the World's Fair. He left his name on the list. Bloomfleld, 

 la., is his destination, and his purpose is to teach the young 

 idea of his dogs how to shoot. He was looking in good 

 health and was as full of bonhomie and amiability as a 

 mandarin. The United States field trials will receive his 

 personal attention in a competitive way this fall. 



I learn that the severe winter made the quaU crop in Ohio 

 very short this season. 



Many are the earnest regrets I hear from the dog fanciers 

 over the failure of the World's Fan- dog show, the show 

 which was run both as a public institution and a private in- 

 terest. The loss is more apparent now that the real worth 

 and scope of the World's Fair are known. With the 

 attendance numbering hundreds of thousands each day, 

 the World's Fair dog show would have been seen 

 by more people than the whole dog shows of the country in 

 one season attract. It is the more regrettable since it.is a loss 

 which can never be mended. And it is also regrettable in 

 that the loss was from the personal selfishness of those who 

 protested to be the best friends and advocates of the World's 

 Fair. But it has brought its lesson, and such a mistake can- 

 not ever occur again. 



Mr. C. M. Smith, of Akron, O., a subscriber to Forest and 

 Stream of ten years' standing, made a call at Forest and 

 Stream's comer in the Anglers' Pavihon. He informed me 

 that Mr. R. B. Morgan, the well known handler, of Akron, 

 had gone to JVIississippi, with a string of twenty dogs. He 

 will spend the winter there training. B. Water.s.
