You will find him very good eating! A clean, flat stone makes a good

THE FISHERMAN'S HAIL.
There, now I've told you how to catch and kill and cook your fish, I
hope that you will soon be able to do it, and I wish you the old
salutation which every fisherman wishes to another when they start out
to fish, "A tight line to you," meaning that I hope you will get a big
one on.
FOREIGN BOY SCOUTS
THE NORWEGIANS.
When my holiday in Norway came to an end, I was very sorry to pack up
and come away. Even when I drove the last thirty miles in a cart to
the railway I carried my rod in my hand, and when I saw a good-looking
pool or run in a river--we were generally near a river--I stopped the
cart for a few minutes and tried for a trout, and, what was more, I
occasionally caught one!
[Illustration: NORWEGIAN SCOUTS WERE VERY LIVELY.]
At last I got back to Christiania and to proper clothes and clean
hands--and I didn't like it a bit.
However, I was comforted by being told that the Boy Scouts wanted me
to Inspect them, and I did so.
