A Florida Trip With Heisman
Hv .). W. Heisman.
PART I.
NO WING that for the past sev-
oral winters I have been taking
hunting and fishing trips to the
southern end of Florida, ye. editor has
asked me to write a series of articles
descriptive of the country, the game.
i ht «lima te, at* w hile t heaa all
proved of great interest t<» me and to
my companions, and the trips highly
enjoyable as well, I am far from a
feeling of assurance that my account
of these matters will prove of the
slightest interest to the reader.
The sportsman who has never been
to lower Florida can have little idea
how very different it all is down there
from hunting and camping In other
parts of the world. I can muke no
better approach to the subject than to
take up with my first trip right from
the moment we alighted from the
train at Fort Pierce for the begin
ning of our projected 50-mile plunge
lb to the wilderness Tins thriving lii-
tle city of 2,000 population is some 200
miles south of Jacksonville, on the
Fast Coast Railroad.
All the way after leaving Ormond
our train ran practically right along
tlie bank of the Indian River. This
is really not a river at all, but an
arm of the sea that runs for about 200
miles along the coast of Florida and is
separated from the ocean b> an is
land sand bar of equal length and
from one-half mile to a mile or more
In width, while the river varies from
one-half mile to a couple of miles in
width. It is one of the most beauti
ful reaches of water mortal ever
gazed on. ,
No sooner had our train begun to
skirt the banks of the river than from
the windows v\e began to observe
ducks almost everywhere on its placid
surface, one can hardly look out of
the window at any time without see
ing them somewhere on the water,
singly, in pairs and in flocks; ducks
here, there and everywhere, often
within half a stone's throw of tho
train, and so tame that even the
train’s racket failed to put them to
flight.

Petroskey Wins Over
Benz in 12-Round Go
BETTE. MONT.. Dec. 18 -Bailor Kd
Petroskey was give n a decision over I*eo
Benz, of Butte, at the end <>f £welve
rounds last night, in which the ma
jority of rounds were Petros key’s by a
wide margin. Petroskey worked a shift
that invariably worked havoc with Benz
and the Butte lad was sent to his
Knees live limes. At no time did Benz-
appear to have a chance and the best
he could do was to hold his own in five
rounds.

117 13 27 .24*1 I ** ply of provisions. Did you ever
142 70 106 244* j try to buy provisions for a certain
number of men and for an Indefinite
length of time? That’s some Job. as
1 found on a subsequent trip when it
fell to me to do it. Hut this time 'Bob
—our most experienced Florida
camper undertook* it. We already
had our ow n tents, bedding, dogs and
other camp equlpp#ge, including, ot
course, our guns, ammunition, medi
cal supplies, etc. And then Hob
bought bacon, commeal, as many
loaves of bread as we thought we
would have room for. canned goods,
flour, matches, tobacco, soap, butter,
condensed milk, coffee, and goodness
only knows what all else.
How they laughed at me for in
vesting in a package or two of puffed
rice. Hut 1 couldn’t see any reason
why I shouldn’t have my breakfast
cereal as well as not. And they laugh
ed every morning after that when 1
got it out afresh, but 1 ate It all, and
with avidity, for all of that.
Some of us had some cake along,
too, and I Insisted on some dried
apricots that they also laughed at; but j
they found out how to pitch ir. and
eat their share of these after they
had been living on fried meat for a
few days.
Tlie next morning we were up with
the lark and helping load the two-
horse wagon we had engaged from
the livery stable, along with a driver
to take us over to Lake Okeechobee
With the driver there were four of
us, and when we got our luggage all
aboard anti ourselves us well we had
a full load for one pair of mules. And
then we started.
You have never seen a South Flor
ida landsoai>e? Just like the pictures
we sometimes see of semi-tropical re
gions on tlie drop curtain of a thea
ter. Here we have the open prairie,
interspersed with clumps of palmetto
bushes form 2 to 200 feet in diame
ter. There are palmetto trees any
where from 10 to 40 feet high, and of
half a dozen different species. Yon
der. standing in that bay head (big
pond, we Would call it) is an extensive
grove of cypress. And then we pass
extensive tracts of pine trees, part of
the forest primeval, for they have
never yet rung to the axe of any but
rovers like ourselves.
horse nor man makes bones about
this. We wade right through it, for
it is almost or quite lukewarm, and
Just as clear as crystal. In fact,
though I looked with some dismay
the first time 1 saw the others plunge
Into these ponds, I became entirely
used to it the minute after my own
feet we»e thoroughly soaked, and
never thought about it again, though
1 have waded through them and i
through villainous' looking bogs up to
my hips many a time since then to
avoid a quarter-mile walk around.
We had three of the best bird dogs
that ever held a point, and the way
they ranged was something dazzling;
but we were in a hurry to get to the
lake, so turned aside for nothing. Hut
when a couple of quail simply leaked
out from between the rear wheels of
our wagon, I. sitting on tlie rear end
and being the only one to see them,
just hail to call for a halt. Why the
horses hadn't scared them up I can’t
tell, but there they were, so close to
my dangling feet that I could have
reached down and kicked them to one
side. That’s how tame some of the
birds are down in that country.
Well, we bagged those two and half
n dozen more right by the road side
as we went along, so that we had
fresh meat for our very first camj ing
supper.
• * •
I SHOl’LD stop to narrate, that after
‘ getting into our last covey that
afternoon Hob found his fine gold
watch missing. 1 promptly gave it up
as gone for good, for we had wan
dered ut least 300 yards from the road
after that covey, and moved back and
forth and to right and left, all the
time through prairie grass never less
than knee high and through palmetto
clumps its high as one’s shoulder. It
certainly seemed worse than any nee
dle in ti haystack undertaking.
We finally figured out that it must
have dropped out of his hunting shirt
pocket while stooping down, and if
so. for what should he have stoopen at
all? Obviously to pick up ft dead
bird—nothing else. But where had we
killed the birds? In that country, all
of which looked exactly alike to me, 1
could see no chance of finding the
same spots over again where the birds
had fallen. And we might not have
done so but for the feathers that we
had knocked out of the birds. Finally
we came up with the fifth patch of
feathers, and there lay the w atch, still
ticking contentedly.
It taught us all a lesson, and after
that we fastened our watches, eye- |
glasses and like articles so securely
that we lost nothing else the whole!
trip. It’s a thing worth being care-|
ful about in advance when you go on
such a trip.

Augusta Five Comes
Here With Clean
Slate for Season
Saturday night at the Atlanta Ath
letic Club the Joe Bean quintet will
have as their opponents ihe plucky Au
gusta Y. M. C. A. of Augusta, Ga. The
Atlanta boys are not expecting an easy
time of it and are putting in extra
time preparing for the affair.

string of victories. They will arrive
Saturday.
Miss Margaret Loughran, of Joliet,
the heiress in question, has enlight
ened the world. She is a tall, pretty
brunette.
“Mr. McFarland,” said Miss Lough
ran, “possesses these virtues: Hp
doesn’t drink, he doesn’t chew, he
doesn’t stay out late nights, and he is
nevertheless the most manly man I
ever saw. I think he is perfect.”
“Have you ever seen him in a
fight?”
"Not exactly a fight.” said Miss
Loughran. "but I’ve seen him box He
always smiles when he hits a man or
gets hit himself. That’s what 1 liked
most about him at first."
"Do you think prize fighting is bru
tal. Miss Loughran?”
"I do not,” answered the young
woman. "Not the way Mr. McFarland
fights. I think if he had lived a fev.
centuries ago he would have been a
crusader or a champion of tourna
ments.”
"How did you happen to fall in love
with him?”
Miss Loughran was silent for a mo
ment. Then she said:
“Father Walsh, a mutual friend,
brought him to Joliet to box at a
charity affair. I saw him in the ring,
and I thought at the time how re
markable it would be if a man could
fi)e strong and able, as is Mr. McFar
land, and still be a gentleman in every
way.
"A short while later Father Wals
introduced me, and 1 had my breath
taken away.
“He was a regular gentleman."
"Do you admire him most for being
a strong man or a good man?’
“For both,” Miss Loughran an
swered, immediately.
“When will the marriage take
place?”
“In the spring, as my father is i
now and mother is away."
"Will you be his trainer after that '’
“ ‘Love, cherish and obey.’ I guess
the cherish part will include train
ing.”
"Hans Wagner can remain with
the Pirates as long as he is able
to play ball." declares Barney Dreyfuss,

Pittsburg contemplated turning Bonus
out into the cold while still a valu
able player.
