PART 1.
K NOWING that for the past sev
eral winters I have been taking
hunting and fishing trip* to the
southern end of Florida, ye editor has
asked me to write a series of articles
descriptive of the country, the game,
the climate, etc. While these all
proved of great interest to 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. 1 can make no
bettor approach t<» the subject than to
take up with my first trip light from
the moment we alighted from the
train at Fort Pierce for the begin
ning of our projected 50-mile plunge
into the wilderness. This thriving lit
tle city of 2,000 population is some 2<>0
miles south of Jacksonville, on the
Hast Coast Railroad.
All the way after leaving Ormond
our train ran practically right along
the bank of the Indian River. This
is reallv not a river at all, hut an
arm of the sea that runs for about 200
miles along the coast of Florida and is
separated from the ocean by an is
land sand bar of equal length and
from one-half mile to u 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 we began to observr
ducks almost everywhere on Its placid
surface. One can hardly look out of
the window at any time withe
ing them somewhere on the
singly, In pairs and in flocks; duck*
here, there and everywhere, often
within half a stone’s throw of the
train, and so tame that even the
train’s racket failed to put them to
flight.
feet were thoroughly soaked, and
never thought about it again, though
J have waded through them and
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. Rut
wtyen a couple of quail simply leaked
out from between the rear wheels of
our wagon, I. sitting on the rear end
and being the only one to see them,
just had to call for a halt. Why the
horses hadn’t scared them up 1 can’t
tell, but there they were, so (‘lose to
my dangling feet that 1 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
sis we went along, so that we had
flesh meat for our very first < ami ing
supper.

SHUGRUE HELD TO DRAW.
NEW Y<»RK. Deo 18 Young Shu-

Py Smith, the Hoboken c yclone, put up

last* night
BEST SHOW IN TOWN
IS EXTRAVAGANZA AT
THE OLD DUTCH MILL
The snappiest. cleanest and
most interesting show in Atlanta
to-day is that at the Dutch Mill,
is the verdict of the hundreds
who have witnessed th e perfor
mance of “HeMo, Bill,” this week.
The chorus especially is good,
the costumes being new, bright
and catchy, while there is not a
prettier bunch of show girls to
be found. They can sing and
dance, and are as graceful as can
be. It is. indeed, a good show
and worth twice the price of ad
mission.
A T Fort Fierce we laid in our sup
ply of provisions. Did you ever
try to buy provisions for a certain
number of men and for an indefinite
length of time? That's some Job, as
I found on a subsequent trip when it
fell to mo to do it Rut this time Rob
--our most experienced Florida
camper---undertook It. We already
had (tut own tents, bedding, dews and
other camp equippage, including, oi
course, our guns/ ammunition, medi
cal supplies, etc. And then Boh
bought bacon, cornmeal. 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.
Some of us bad some cake along,
too. and I insisted on some dried
apricots that they also laughed at; but
they found out how to pitch ir. and
eat their share of these after thev
had been living on fried meat for a
few day s
The 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 and ourselves as well \\1» had
a full load for one pair of mules. And
then we started.
You have never seen a South Flor
ida landscape? Just like the pictures
we sometimes see of semi-tropical re
gions on the (Jr°p curtain of a thea
ter, Here we have the oi>en 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
I 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.
» • #
I T is late December—and the wet
season is over But such quantities
I of water still remain on the ground.
The land is almost as fiat as my table
top, but for stretches of sometimes a
mile or two the water lies unabsorbed
on the top of the sandy soil, and from
I .inkle deep to knee deep Neither
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 I saw the others plunge
I ir to these (»onds. 1 became entirejv
'used to it the minute after ttu own
I SHOULD stop to narrate that after
* getting into our last covey that
afternoon Rob found his fine gold
watch missing. I promptly gave it up
as gone for good, for we had wan
dered at 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 as high as one's shoulder. It
certainly seemed worse than any nee
dle in a haystack undertaking.
We finally figured out that it must
have dropped out of his hunting shirt
pocket while stooping down, and if
so, for w hat should he have stooped at
all? Obviously to pick up a dead
bird—nothing else. Rut where had we
killed the birds? In tliat country, all
of which looked exactly alike to me, 1
could see no chance of finding the
>ut srf Inline spots over again w here the birds
water, 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 watch, 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 advunce when you go on
such a trip.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 18.—That the
Fleischmanns. who control the major
portion of the stock of the Cincinnati
National League club, and who, in the
past, have dictated* the policy of the

the odium that has fallen on the club of

In hig letter, sent to a prominent base

1 Packey Always Smites When He
Hits a Man,” Declares Miss
Loughran.
HICAGO, Dec. 18.—How to win
the love of an heiress—in three
rounds—is the advice of Packey
McFarland, heavy lightweight pugi
list, could give all aspiring prize fight
ers.
Miss Margaret Loughran, of Joliet,
the heiress in question, has enlight
ened the world. She is a tall, pretty
brunett®.
“Mr. McFarland,” said Miss Lough
ran. “possesses these virtues: He
doesn’t, drink, he doesn’t chew, he
doesn’t stay out late nights, and he is
nevertheless the most manly man 1
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. Hr
always smiles when he Hits a man or
gets hit himself. That’s what I 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. few
centuries ago he would hate been a
crusader or a champion of tourna
ments.”
“How did you happen to fall in lov*
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. 1 saw him in the ring,
and I thought" at the time how re
markable it would be if a man could
be strong and able, as is Mr. McKar-
| land, and still be a gentleman In every'
way.
“A short while later Father Wals* 1
introduced me, and I had my breath
taken away.
“He was a regular gentleman."
“Do you «\dmire 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."
