“Tt seems to me, Jeff,’ I said, “that 
| uncle Simon was a very poor shepherd, 
and the lambs of his flock had more re- 
ligion than common sense or morality: 
all the same like Jim Crow.” 
“Yass, sah,” assented Jeff, “it mus’ a 
bin dat away.” 
UST then the full moon appeared 
above the tree tops and “took up the 
wondrous tale.” By the time Jeff had 
finished his story the landing was in 
sight. When Jeff had moored his boat, 
made everything snug and shipshape 
and covered the engine with a tarpau- 
lin, he threw the sack of squirrels over 
his shoulder, took the basket of fish on 
his arm, while I shouldered creel and 
boots, and with rod and rifle in my 
hands, we started on our hike of a mile 
to Rosedale, under a glorious moon, and 
to the cheerful and encouraging song 
of the katydids; and after a full and 
satisfactory day, and with no untoward 
event to mar the pleasure of the time 
spent in the woods and waters of the 
beautiful White river, we arrived at 
| Rosedale. 
[Pees it has been discovered by 
some scientific explorers that the 
overhanging bluffs that grace the banks 
of the stream for several miles in its 
upper portion were once inhabited by a 
prehistoric race, supposed to be entirely 
different from the cliff-dwellers of Ari- 
zona. Several mummified bodies and 
skeletons were exhumed, and numerous 
stone axes and other tools were found 
of an entirely different kind from any 
previously known. The cave-dwellers 
of the Ozarks are supposed to have ex- 
isted not less than 1,500 or 2,000 years 
ago. 
First Aid to Trophies of the

quantity of salt to preserve the largest 
specimens you are apt to secure in that 
particular locality. Perhaps you will 
leave it behind, when you return to be- 
come a miniature deer lick and a de- 
light to the porcupines, but then again 
It will identify you. 
you may bless the days of care and 
trouble it may have been on the trip. 
If you should land a prize winner or 
one worth mounting, the thing to.do is 
to salt cure it and pack it with you 
until you reach a shipping point and 
then forward it to your taxidermist. 
To salt cure a fish the opening cut 
instead of ending at a point even with 
the anal opening should extend from 
gill to tail. The flesh above the cut 
should then be split back by cutting 
along the back bone, care being taken 
not to cut through the skin. In like 
manner split the flesh from end of ab- 
dominal cavity to tail below the cut 
(figure 2). 
Remove the eyes, and work the knife 
blade through the flesh of the cheek by 
working through eye socket so that the 
salt can penetrate more readily. Also 
remove the gills but without cutting 
the isthmus, gr point which connects 
the head to the body on the under side. 
You now so cut that you can lay back , 
the sides exposing the flesh completely. 
If it is a very large specimen, it is a 
good idea to cut through those sharp- 
pointed bones just above the spinal col- 
umn and split the flesh on the other 
side pretty well through from head to 
near the tail so that salt can penetrate 
quickly. Wash off all blood, slime, etc., 
and hang up for a few moments to 
drain, or wipe off the excess water with 
a cloth. While the fish is draining, take 
a notebook and make notes on weight 
and measurements if you desire for 
your own use, but be sure to make 
definite note of coloring which must be 
forwarded to the taxidermist later; in 
taking color notes state distinctly the 
color of back, color of upper side, lower 
part of side, and belly, and don’t forget 
to mention markings, if any. The 
color of fins should also be noted as 
they vary as greatly as the body color 
and markings do on individuals of 
same species. Next spread out a cloth, 
or paper, cloth preferably, sufficiently 
large to wrap the fish in, spread a lib- 
eral layer of salt on the cloth, so that 
when you lay the fish out flesh side up, 
the entire fish will be lying on salt. 
Then cover the inner surface of the fish 
with salt. Don’t be afraid to use it 
liberally as salt is the best insurance 
there is against loss of specimens in the 
field. Fill the mouth and eye cavities 
with it as well, fold the sides back ‘nto 
place and wrap in the cloth, or paper, 
and tie securely. There will be some 
drainage of brine from the specimen, 
due to the salt drawing the moisture 
from the tissues, and so it is best to 
place it over night where that will not 
cause any annoyance, but be sure that 
it is up out of the way of animals 
which might destroy it. Hanging it 
from a branch of a tree is good. After 
allowing it to drain, find a strip of 
bark, a board, or if neither is avail-
