The Camp Fire Club ts compored of men who must be able to prove their competence on the trail, thelr ability to “pack” forty or fifty pounds a day over virgin ground, and a sufMctent f cllity with trout-fiy, shotgun, revolver or rifle. not to speak of such compara- tively trivial arte as tossing flapiacks, dolling water in the open and kindling & fire by the primitive method of fric- tion, There are some four hundred and more members of the club, of whom rather more than sixty are attending all quality for the club examinations In forest craft. In the lead 1s Dan Beard, the man who has done more to bring two or three generations of boys within touch f the wild life of the out-of-doors than any other. TOMAHAWK THROWERS HAVE A TRIAL OF SKILL. ‘The band of tomahawk wielders y iterday stopped in a little clearing while ‘Dan Beard drow three vertical stripes with black paint on the side of a tree trunk twenty or thirty feet away. “Now, then, boys," he sald, cheerfully, “we're ready to start throwin’. Remem- ber to hold your blades forward, to Jicut the air faster, and don't jerk your * muscle To the accompaniment of a running fire of Josh and farcical advice, the dlf- \ferent members of the group stepped } forward, toed the mark and hurled their hatchets at the three stripes on the tree mond hiteh though his friends say he ix a better nan {n other linés, ‘Then there war Elmer Gregor, whom Beard affec tlonately calls “his boy."

DEMONSTRATION OF THE MOND HITCH. Carl Runger, surrounded by an equatly | interested group, was some distance | farther along the road to the camp, giv- ing a panting demonstration of the dia yh an uncertain pony from a riding academy reatless under the un- usual circumstance of @ loaded pack saddle. Up a winding path a little way one wandered into the Council Place, where the Camp Fire is situated. It ts around the Camp Fire, naturally, that the life of the club centres. Here the members gather evenings, after the day's work is done, and sit and smoke and see who can tell the best story, Impromptu | or otherwise, while the cider mugs go round.

Nourse ls known as the best story-teller in the club. With Nourse was Elmer Gill, the fly fishing expert, and “Jack” Dickerson, one of the two members of the club who can boast Indian names. Dicker- son Is called Gigeint, which means tn the Ojibway tongue “The Man Fis! title which was given him for his ry markable power as a swimmer. One of the chief events of the club outing is the annual contest between Dickerson and Dave Abercrombie, Abercrombie be- Ing equipped with a set of tarpon tackle made fast to a special headdress which I on wears. The object of the contest Is to see whether Abercromble can land Dickerson as he would a fish So far Dickerson haw won every tussle, not only reslating successfully all efforts to land him, but even breaking the mooring painter of the boat from which the line ts played and sometimes the line itself.
