minutes to five, and as I. turned the 
boat around near the inlet a little be- 
fore four o’clock, preparatory to start- 
ing for home, I figured that the fight 
without tacking on any extra time had 
lasted a full half hour. 
For some minutes I let the boat bang 
against the north shore of the outlet, 
while I just sat there admiring my 
prize. He was a _ perfect specimen, 
clean, fat and glittering with iride- 
scent colors. At the time I thought he 
would weigh six or seven pounds; but 
the scales never lie, and when I got 
back to camp that evening he tipped 
them at a trifle over five. 
To old-seasoned fishermen the land- 
ing of this salmon will probably seem 
a very small affair; but to me that 
little adventure on Beavertail Pond 
will ever remain painted in bright let- 
ters on memory’s scroll. The fact that 
I could only use one hand most of the 
time, that a gale of wind was blowing, 
that I lost the net overboard, and 
nearly went overboard myself in re- 
covering it, lent a decided thrill and 
savor to what otherwise might have 
been but a moderately exciting conflict. 
Summer Shooting 
(Continued from page 395) 
—let us say—if he could turn back the 
calendar a couple of centuries and find 
the conditions in regard to game, popu- 
lation and timber what they once were. 
The man who, to judge by his actions 
and tastes, was never young and had 
never enthused over Cooper’s or John 
Fox, Jr.’s novels, will never be able to 
get the enjoyment out of a hike through 
the Catskills, Adirondacks, Blue Ridge 
or Alleghenies that the man to whom 
the smell of the spruce, pine, chestnuts, 
or oaks in the spring is the most inspir- 
ing aroma in existence. You can take 
such a trip in a car or a Pullman and 
see the scenery, but you will never get 
the enjoyment that can be obtained on 
foot with a rifle. You simply can’t 
mix 1923 and 1750 and get 1750 reac- 
tions unless you get so far back from 
the beaten track that timber, transpor- 
tation and your thoughts connect on 
harmonious ground. 
The principal enjoyment, therefore, 
of summer-shooting is that the shooting 
will be at natural objects and among 
surroundings that make it enjoyable. 
Much of it may well be of a game pro- 
tective nature, if you wish to make it 
so. None of it need be at living marks 
if you prefer. You can get plenty of 
action at inanimate but natural objects; 
there are dozens of rocks, stumps or 
clods of dirt on every hillside between 
the Atlantic and the Mississippi and 
beyond—and they make as good tar- 
gets now as they did one hundred years 
ago.

Nigar Indian Rugs are woven by hand of sheep’s wool in fascinating designs 
and colorings. They are the only hand wrought floor coverings made by a 
primitive people in the United States, , 
The weaving is done by the women and young girls, the latter being taught some of the steps as 
early as four years old. The great fear of the old Chiefs is that as civilization encroaches upon the 
tribe, the art of weaving will gradually die out, and every effort is being made to perpetuate the 
remarkable artistry and crafthood that has made the Rugs of the Navajos superior in some ways 
_ to Orientals. 
Navajos are alike on both sides; they do not curl; easy to clean; wear for more years than any 
inexpensive. Just the attributes you are looking for in an ideal 
rug. The large majority of rugs come in a combination of gray, black, white and, red, with either 
the red, white or gray predominating. For living-rooms and porches gray backgrounds are generally 
the best; for bedrooms, bathrooms and camping blankets, get white backgrounds; and for dens, 
cozy corners, couch covers, etc., the red backgrounds give that fine touch of color le warms the 
heart and lends a distinctive air to the scheme of decoration. :
