I stole out the ‘pudding stick,’ the single blade, 
you know, and-” 
V “What for?” 
“What for! Why, Nessmuk always stole up 
on a deer that way, always,” and Kellup got up, 
indignant, and pretended to rummage on the 
mantelpiece for his tobacco. When he sat down 
again Sammy commenced: “What y’ got all 
over your flannel shirt collar, Caleb?” 
“Well, you see, along about noon the black 
flies got pretty thick, so I spread on the fly 
daub. Some I made last”- 
“Black flies, man! There’s not a black fly in 
the State.” 
“Well, mosquitoes, then, hang it!” 
These interruptions were irritating. The 
thread of his eloquence seemed broken, and he 
only mentioned casually the things he noticed 
on the trip down stream in the afternoon. The 
warm sun, the restless wind, the vines all sway¬ 
ing and showing the whites of their leaves, the 
dark retreats where the trees overarched, and 
the meadow vista of bushes and high tuft 
grasses, with red-winged blackbirds and a Bob 
White sweetly calling—somewhere. There was 
a place worn smooth on the bank near a willow 
that looked like an otter slide, but might have 
been made by boys in bathing, and there was a 
butterfly that lit on the prow and basked in the 
sun—a long voyage. 
“But oh, Sammy, you talk about the ‘poetry 
of motion.’ I just lost myself for a minute once 
and thought I could paddle on forever, and 
paddle on and on and on and right into heaven, 
mebbe.” 
Then they all kept still for a minute till 
Sammy winked at Susan and broke the spell. 
I “Yes,” he says, “that’s what your wife’s 
afraid of.” Jefferson Scribb. 
A WHALE OF A TROUT. 
“There’s a whale of a trout in the spring hole 
off the end of the pine stub.” 
“I really believe,” thought Betty, as she drew 
her rod from its case, “that he’s getting excited 
about the fishing.” Billy was deep in his fly- 
book. 
But Betty was a fisherwoman and, notwith¬ 
standing her moods and the day, the old ex¬ 
citement of preparation came and, when she 
stepped into the canoe, carefully guarding the 
dry flies, she was thinking of the trout. As 
# they neared the hole she prepared to cast and 
was measuring the distance when from behind 
she heard Billy say tensely: 
“Betty!” She turned quickly. 
“He strikes once and that’s all.” 
“Oh!” said Betty, and just then she did not 
care whether she hooked the trout or not. He 
might at least be interesting! 
When she faced the fishing again her spirits 
rose. She felt the day, ’and with her first cast 
she knew that her wrist was right, and that 
brings joy. With lengthening line she felt for 
her trout, the canoe answering her every move 
—Billy was certainly a good paddle—and she 
was glad they were there alone. At last she 
dropped her fly just on the spot where she knew 
the flash would come. It was like the word that 
need not have been spoken, the answer she 
knew was coming. She knew the trout was 
hers before she struck and then—she felt the 
canoe back away into safe water; Billy never 
overran her fish—a wild wish to get the trout 
seized her; if only to show him that she was the 
good sport she knew he thought her. 
Only once did she fear the lily-pads as she 
fought carefully, glad of the sport, the lonely 
lake, the quiet, gray day. Slowly she coaxed 
the trout to Billy’s net and with his “All right,” 
she dropped her rod and watched him as he de¬ 
liberately untangled the fish and held it up. 
It was her first really big trout—Robert Alston 
Stevens, in Scribner’s.

Kennel Diseases 
By “Ashmont” (J. Frank Perry, M.D.), author of “Ken¬ 
nel Secrets.” Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, $3.00 net. 
Postage, 22 cents. 
Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority for ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.

My Life As Aiv Indian 
All That the Title Implies and More 
Probably the most faithful picture of Indian 
life ever drawn from the pen of a man who 
spent years among the Blackfeet, marrying into 
the tribe and becoming to all practical intents 
an Indian. 
Mr. Schultz tells of the life of the plains In¬ 
dian, when war and hunting were the occupations 
of every man, when the buffalo still covered the 
prairie, and the Indian was as yet little touched 
by contact with civilization. Pie describes as one 
who has lived the life, the daily routine of the 
great camp, the lives of the men and women, 
the gambling, the quarreling, the love making, 
the wars, the trading of the Indians. 
The narrative is full of. intense human in¬ 
terest, and the requisite touch of romance is 
supplied in the character of Nat-ah-ki, the beau¬ 
tiful Indian girl, who became the author’s wife. 
Price, $1.65 postpaid.
