In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream, 
On a Pennsylvania Trout 
Stream 
(Continued from page 199) 
Where the road dipped to pass 
through what appeared to be a mag- 
nificent emerald cave filled with purple 
shadows, the bird-choir was suddenly 
hushed, as though awaiting the soloist. 
From the damp ground by the stream 
—from the hillside—from the road be- 
neath our feet—or was it from the air 
overhead? came the sweetest sound 
bird throat ever uttered. Sweetly 
solemn with a tinge of sadness, yet 
clear and rich and full as though the 
singer had long been uplifted above all 
earthly things, that wondrous music 
floated a moment about us like the 
benediction that follows after prayer. 
Like an echo from the opposing hill 
came a response. A moment later the 
grind of the wheels upon the open 
highway told that we had reached the 
homeward road, and regretfully we 
left the dark-eyed thrushes to breathe 
their heavenly messages to and fro 
across the darkened tumult of the 
stream. 
How to Build a Small 
Fishing Skiff 
(Continued from page 203) 
each side with round head brass screws. 
The false stem or cut water can now 
be made to suit and bolted on the stem 
proper. 
THE craft is now ready to receive 
the finishing touches and after 
smoothing up well with sandpaper two 
or three coats of proper marine paint 
of your favorite color can be applied. 
Now all that is required is suitable 
weather and release of the fishing laws 
and you can proceed to enjoy the fun. 
This little ship not only rows easily, 
but is particularly designed to carry 
an outboard motor; and a Johnson, an 
Elto or an Evinrude will prove a very 
valuable addition, as they have been 
thoroughly tested and can be relied 
upon to get you to the most out-of-the- 
way fishing places. There is nothing 
more valuable to tho :.ngler than a good 
outboard motor, and 1othing more ex- 
asperating than a po. r one. Therefore 
get a good little Kicker. Go to it, and 
here is wishing you luck. 
Some day when you are out ’midst 
pleasant surroundings and having a 
good run of luck, just pause long 
enough to have the friend or mate 
with you “snap a shot” for the maga- 
zine editor. He will more than appre- 
ciate it, I am sure. 
It will identify you, 

Mosquito, Moose and 
Mascalonge 
(Continued from page 201) 
for anything short of a cream puff or 
a strawberry pie a la mode,” and 
Schmidty rolled a pan down to the 
water’s edge, demonstrating his motto 
“Efficiency always.” 
Cleve moved lazily up the trail and 
ten minutes later we heard the spiteful 
pop of the .22 Savage—then another 
and another at easy intervals. I 
counted ten and then stopped. When 
Cleve drifted back into camp he liter- 
ally had his hands full — eighteen 
feathered beauties. 
“Now let’s see you clean ’em,” he 
held one up to show where the neck 
was torn half in two. “Gee!” he con- 
tinued, “it’s like a chicken yard back 
there and they’re dumb as mud—just 
fly up in a tree and look at you from 
the side so you can get a perfect bead 
on ’em-—it’s easier than _ picking 
apples.” 
When the birds were half cleaned 
Bill’s canoe slid into.view around the 
point and ground upon the beach. Bill 
was sitting in the bottom of the canoe 
with his feet braced under the thwart. 
“Come on, you chicken fanciers—give 
me a hand with this fish—he’s eating 
me alive.” 
He was a big fellow—rarely indeed, 
did we get one that would not cover 
the axe with its thirty-inch handle. 
Bill had quickly lost our two small 
spinners and then used the four inch 
nickled piece with a wire leader and 
three prong hook. The lakes are full 
of fish—in Lake Brulé and Trout Lake 
we found trout—savage strikers and 
hard fighters. In every lake we fished 
were mascalonge—ten to thirty pound- 
ers waiting for each cast. The hun- 
dreds of lakes that we passed through 
were practically virgin fishing waters 
—most of them having never seen a 
spoon.
