Go 
Fishing 
WITH OLD PETE 
His camp’s down on Moosehead 
Lake. He knows every fishing 
pool from Kineo to Canada. He 
will show you trout and salmon 
fishing that in 3 days will take 
10 years off your life. 
Pete is one of nearly 1000 registered 
guides, white and Indian, in the Maine 
fishing country, and there are 5000 lakes 
and streams full of hungry, fighting 
game fish. 
In Maiine Woods 
Pete’s some cook—broiled fish, fried 
potatoes, griddle cakes and maple syrup, 
hot biscuit, coffee. He’ll make you 
think camp-fire cooking’s the finest in 
the world. 
Pete knows how to make a fellow 
comfortable on a bed of hemlock boughs 
under a tent beside a camp-fire. 
It’s the greatest outing in America. And it’s 
EASY TO GO.

Temptation of Noah. 
One day old blister Satan come a-walkin’ ’cross de brine; 
He say, “Good mavvnin’, Noah! De flshin’s mighty fine. 
Why don’t you git dem two worms out fo’ ketch yo’sef 
some fish. 
An’ live as high upon de ark as any man could wish?” 
“Good mawnin’, Mistah Noah! 
De fishin’s mighty fine, 
Why don’t you git dem two worms out 
An’ set yo’sef a line? 
Can’t you heah de catfish scratchin’ 
Dey backs again de keel. 
An’ de punkinseeds jess bellerin’ 
Fo’ git deyselves a meal?” 
You should a-seen oT Noah light on a marlin spike; 
He made dat fellow Satan pick up his heels an’ hike. 
He hit him one big wallop across de horns an’ say, 
“Git out o’ hyah, Temptation, an’ mind you stay away!” 
Git out o’ hyah. Temptation, 
■An’ mind you slay away! 
Dis chile ain’t goin’ fishin’, 
No matter what you say. 
De Lawd’s done put his faith in him 
To bring dem worms asho’. 
An’ don’t yoti make no such fool cracks 
Aroun’ hyah any mo’.”

Hot Days in the Arctic. 
“July was intolerably hot. We had no 
thermometer, but I feel sure,” says Stefanssoii, 
the explorer, in Harper’s Magazine, “that many 
a day the temperature must have been over loo 
degrees in the sun. and sometimes for weeks 
on end there was not a cloud in the sky. At 
midnight the sun was what we would say an 
hour high, so that it beat down on us without 
rest the twenty-four hours through. 
“I'he hottest period of the day was about 
8 o’clock in the evening, and the coolest per¬ 
haps 4 or 5 in the morning. The mosquitoes 
were so bad that several of our dogs were com¬ 
pletely blind for the time through the swelling 
of their eyes, and all of them were lame from 
running sores caused by the mosquito stings 
on the line where the hair meets the pad of the 
foot. It is true that on our entire expedition 
we had no experience that more nearly deserved 
the name of suffering than this of the combined 
heat and mosquitoes of our Coppermine River 
summer.” 
When the Fishin’ Pole is Noddin’. 
Through the scented woodlands, far away from town. 
Rest in the world, and you will win it; 
The cork’s a-goin’ down, boys, the cork’s a-goin’ down. 
For the fishin’ pole’s a-noddin’ every minute. 
Wish time. 
And fish time; 
Don’t call me back to town, 
Fishin’ pole’s a-noddin’. 
An’ the cork’s a-goin’ down! 
I hear the far-off tinkle of drowsy cattle-bells. 
The river keeps the oak’s cool shadow^ in it; 
To the trouble of the city I am waftin’ my farewells, 
For the fishin’ pole’s a-noddin’ every minute! 
Beams here, 
And dreams here— 
Don’t call me back to town, 
Fishin’ pole’s a-noddin’, 
■ An’ the cork’s a-goin’ down!

Queer Eskimo Customs. 
Every ten years the Eskimos hold the 
Dance of the Dead, when ghosts are supposed 
to come out of their coffins and visit the Kos-ga, 
are given a feast, and retire for another ten 
years well filled. Sometimes the food is taken 
to the burying-ground to save the spirits the 
trouble of moving. 
When a child is born among the islanders 
it takes the name of the last deceased mem¬ 
ber of the family, and on it devolves the duty 
of feeding its foster-father’s spirit. The Eski¬ 
mos, says the Wide World, have a horror of 
being childless, because their spirits will 
languish and their name be forgotten. As they 
say, “S'pose no mik-a-nina (children)—ghost 
plenty hungry.” Often an Eskimo will beggar 
himself, giving a great feast in honor of his 
illustrious ancestor; but he gains great renown 
thereby, and places all his visitors under life¬ 
long obligations to him.
