Jimmy was glad to see the Childses, delighted at the idea of being put into a book. In spare moments from his sheepherding, he spun them the yarn of his adventures. When Jimmy came to Patagonia, in 1892, it had been an even wilder land. In Tierra del Fuego, where he went first as a herder, the Indians were being hunted and killed like wild animals. Naked Indian women were kept tethered outside the herders' tents until their pregnancy made them a nuisance. There was little law but the gauchos' own. Jimmy liked the life...
...Rockwell Kent used to sign his splendid decorative drawings Hogarth Jr?this despite the fact that his figures are as unworldly as he knows how to make them, that his dislike of crowds makes him live in remote Ausable Forks, N.

...London Naval Treaty. Rejoicing was great, for just as cockfighting was resumed after the fall of strict Dictator Primo, so it was seen that Spain's bull- killing will regain a touch of ferocious color which "humane" Primo forbade. Permitted once more are the banderillas de fuego-the fire darts which, after their steel points have been stuck firmly into the bull, explode with infuriating effect...
