1 knew he 

 was a '"good 

 one "and after 

 the manner of 

 many large 

 fishes (and most 

 small men) he 

 "sulked," went 

 straight to the 

 bottom and 

 laid ptrfectly 

 still. I biaced 

 myself, rested 

 the butt of my 

 rod against a 

 convenient part 

 of my anatomy 

 and then 

 " yanked" him 

 sharply. Phew! 

 how things 

 changed. In an 

 instant he 

 dashed straight 

 for the boat like 

 a "Mauser" 

 bullet, and the way I fondled my reel-crank was not 

 exactly lethargic, and as I was using a Shakespeate 

 Quadruple Multiplier I had no trouble whatever in 

 taking up the slack as fast as he fur. ished it (which 

 was fast). Of course I was excited— a 5^ lb. bass is 

 not an hourly occurrence here, but my "Shakespeare" 

 kept perfectly cool, and distributed the incoming 

 line along its spool as uniformly as the thread upon 

 a spool of store cotton. I never dreamed that such a 

 reel existed, until I tried the " Shakespeare," and I 

 think it would pay you to *' look it up." Address

Fisherwomen 



Now-a-days, the fisherwomen 

 (Heaven bless 'em) are in evi- 

 Ao dence; and many of them, 



adepts in the art of casting the 

 fly, can give the fishermen 

 "points" that are eye-openers. 

 Perhaps it is the more delicate hand that does the "trick," 

 or else they are more apt pupils. In any event, the 

 BRISTOL Steel Fishing Rod is calculated to interest 

 fisherwomen as well as the sterner sex, and we will be 

 extremely pleased to forward — free of all expense — our 

 new catalogue to any FISHER WOMAN.
