three weeks later Captain Flagstad was on a 
man-of-war, which had come from Boston where 
they had been to get more men, many having- 
died of yellow fever. They were near Green 
Island about seven or eight miles out in the 
Gulf of Mexico and were catching sharks. They 
had chains six feet long, lines and large hooks 
baited with pork. They caught one so large they 
could hardly get him aboard, and on opening the 
belly they found a large bone, probably a leg 
bone, the gaiter and toe nails of James Kelley. 
The gaiter had the initials J. K. 
Leonard I. Carleton. 
National Ass’n of Scientific Angling Clubs 
Chicago, Ill., Sept. 8. —Editor Forest and 
Stream: At the annual meeting of the N. A. 
S. A. C., held in this city Thursday, Sept. 4, 
1913, the following amendment to the constitu¬ 
tion was voted upon and adopted: 
A professional is defined as follows: One 
who is or ever has been a market fisherman; 
one who is or ever has been a teacher of cast¬ 
ing for pay; one who is acting as a paid guide; 
one who makes use of his own or a fellow 
caster's ability for any purpose of advertising; 
one who advertises or solicits for the sale of 
any casting device, or any article of fishing 
tackle on the grounds of any casting club. 
Thus for the first time in many years has 
the amateur status been clearly defined. The 
amendment carries out also the will of the 
majority as expressed by the referendum mail 
vote taken during May, 1912. 
A few minor changes in the constitution 
were also made. The following officers were 
then elected for the ensuing year: President, 
A. Bauer, Chicago; First Vice-President, N. C. 
Heston. Chicago; Second Vice-President, J. W. 
Bramhall, Kansas City; Third Vice-President, 
T. J. Cooper, San Francisco, Cal.; Fourth Vice- 
President, E. R. Abbott, Los Angeles, Cal.; Sec¬ 
retary, A. F. Swisher, Chicago; Treasurer, J. M. 
Smith. 
The annual tournament, held on Friday and 
, Saturday, Sept. 6 and 7, was a success from 
every point of view. Glorious weather and per¬ 
fect surroundings helped to make it a most en¬ 
joyable and enthusiastic event.

A Striking Parallel. 
Tompkins Corners, N. Y., Sept. 3.—Editor 
Forest and Stream: The recent speech of 
Senator Reed, of Missouri, delivered in the 
United States Senate, Aug. 16, in favor of the 
slaughter of herons, recalls a speech made at a 
council of Kansas Indians, held early in the last 
century, on the question of making a raid into 
Missouri for the purpose of obtaining scalps. 
Let us first look at the speech of the Senator 
from Missouri: 
* * * What does the Senator think God Al¬ 
mighty made it for, anyway? Certainly the 
heron is not an ornament. I really honestly want 
to know why there should be any sympathy or 
sentiment about a long-legged, long-beaked, 
long-necked bird that lives in swamps and eats 
tadpoles and fish and crawfish and things of that 
kind. * * * If the young are then left to starve, 
it would seem to me the proper idea would be 
to establish a foundling asylum for the young, 
but still to let humanity utilize this bird for the 
only purpose that evidently the Lord made it for, 
namely, so that we could get egrets for bonnets 
for our beautiful ladies. 
Then we observe the striking analogy of 
the speech of Chief Much-Heap-Kill, as reported 
in the Aboriginal Warwhoop: 
I will not spend much time in answer to 
Chief Prairie-Chicken-Heart. My brother, who 
would rather look at wild birds than to eat them 
[laughter] has now extended his sentimental 
fancies to the Missourians. [Renewed laughter.] 
He objects to our killing the Missourians to get 
scalps for the delight of our ladies. What does 
the Big Chief with a Woman’s Heart think the 
Great Spirit made the Missourian for, anyway. 
Certainly not as an ornament. I really honestly 
want to know, you know, why there should be 
any sympathy or sentiment about a long-legged, 
long-beaked, long-whiskered object that lives on 
ague flats and eats catfish and corn pone and 
pork and things of that kind. If, as the Chief 
suggests, the young Missourians who take to the 
brush, will starve to death after their parents 
have been killed, then let orphan asylums be 
established [great laughter], but still let the 
Missourians be killed and utilized for the only 
purpose that evidently the Great Spirit made 
them, namely, to furnish scalps to garnish the 
costumes of our beautiful squaws. [Loud and 
long continued applause.] 
There is not the slightest reason to suppose 
that the Senator from Missouri has been guilty 
of plagiarism. It is simply another illustration 
of the manner in which like minds will find like 
modes of expression. Both display a viewpoint 
which is commended for attention, but not adop¬ 
tion. Every sportsman, from time to time, should 
review the relations of his conscience and his 
practice, and if he finds himself getting around 
to the position of Chief Much-Heap-Kill and 
Senator Reed, he should get some friend to hide 
his gun until he has returned to a more normal 
Caucasian mood. Thomas M. Upp,
