School of Taxidermy 



With the practical experience of twelve 

 years in the field, laboratory and museum, 

 I have established a correspondence school 

 of taxidermy. The system is thoroughly 

 practical and is presented with a simplic- 

 ity and conciseness that enables me to 

 successfully teach those living at a dis- 

 tance. It is intended chiefly to recognize 

 and foster the efforts of the amateur. . . . 

 Free use of workrooms for resident pupils.

STARVING 



in the Midst of Plenty. 



That's what people with poor diges- 

 tion are doing every day. They have 

 no appetite or if they do have an appe- 

 tite and eat what they require it does 

 them no good, because the stomach 

 does not digest it and the fermenting 

 mass of food becomes a source of dis- 

 ease, of headaches, sleeplessness, 

 languor and the thousand and one 

 symptoms of disordered digestion. 



...Stuart's... 



Dyspepsia Tablets 



promptly relieve and cure all forms 

 of indigestion. They have done it in 

 thousands of cases and will do it in 

 yours. The reason is simple. They 

 digest the food whether the stomach 

 works or not and that's the whole 

 secret. For sale by all druggists, 50 

 cents a package. Address,

Near the village of Jewett City, Conn., 

 where I live, there is a large reservoir, 

 known as Pachaug pond, well stocked with 

 black bass. When the pond is fairly well 

 filled the fish have plenty to feed on, and 

 at such times a good string can be taken 

 only by skillful angling. This reservoir, 

 however, supplies water for 2 large cot- 

 ton mills. In a dry season it runs low, a 

 large number of fish are crowded into 

 small space, the feed becomes scarce, and 

 the usually wary bass will almost jump into 

 your basket for the sake of a worm. In- 

 stead of protecting the fish at a time like 

 this, many fishermen are visiting the pond 

 and carrying away the fish in meal sacks. 

 Several of our representative citizens were 

 seen in a local grocery store proudly ex- 

 hibiting over 50 pounds of black bass 

 taken from Pachaug pond. They had the 

 reporter of a local paper present that he 

 might duly chronicle their hoggishness. 

 It is to be hoped a strong feeling may be 

 created against those guilty of such wan- 

 ton destruction.

Trout fishing in North Carolina last sea- 

 son was fairly good. I made catches of 

 35, 29, 32, 7 and 66. Deer and turkey 

 shooting were also good.
