When I order a Bristol rod, I know what 

 I am about, as I have used one 3 years; 

 and on it I have used the automatic reel. 

 They are all that is claimed for them and 

 more. The manufacturers of them are 

 wise to advertise in Recreation.

A DEALER'S EXPERIENCE. 

 I have noticed the general complaint 

 against the Marlin rifle. My experience 

 with that rifle and its manufacturers was 

 that I could get as much satisfaction out 

 of the company as I could out of their 

 balky guns. My finish with the Marlin 

 came about this way. Eight years ago I 

 sold one of their 32 rim or center fire 

 rifles to a customer who was going on a 

 vacation and wanted the gun to take with 

 him. The first week he had it the extractor 

 hook broke. I sent it to the Marlin people 

 stating that it was from a rifle I had just 

 sold and that the customer was waiting for 

 a new hook. I asked them to send one by 

 return mail, and said I would remit what- 

 ever the charges might be. I waited one 

 week and, not hearing from them, wrote 

 again. After 4 or 5 days I got a reply 

 stating the extractor would cost 23 cents, 

 and would be sent on receipt of the money. 

 I wrote them to return the broken piece 

 and I would make a new one. They said 

 they were sorry but they had thrown away 

 the broken piece ; under the circumstances 

 they would send me an extractor. They 

 did so, and in return I sent them 23 cents 

 and a promise never to sell another Marlin 

 rifle. That promise I have kept. I had 

 sold before that 5 or 6 others and had had 

 trouble with nearly every one of them.

THE CAMERA HUNTER. 

 (Editorial in St. Paul Pioneer-Press.) 

 With all hunting with guns prohibited, except 

 in the case of beasts of prey, like the wolf, the 

 mountain lion and the wildcat, deer and game 

 birds of all sorts would so multiply that the larder 

 could be far more abundantly supplied through 

 other agencies than sportsmen; and venison- and 

 prairie chickens would find their way to many 

 more tables than at present. To the temperament 

 which delights in mere killing, and which finds 

 no appreciable enjoyment in hunting unaccompan- 

 ied by bloodshed, the camera as a substitute for 

 the gun would of course be unwelcome; but this 

 temperament is not that of the true sportsman, 

 and is fortunately becoming rare. The -.true 

 sportsman is he who goes for game because he 

 loves the life of woodland, lake and river; 

 loves to trace the furred and feathered creatures 

 to their haunts, to observe their ways, and to 

 feel the thrill of the Supreme moment when gun 

 or camera shall do its work. The work of the 

 camera is so much more enduring, affords so 

 much after-enjoyment, not alone to the sportsman, 

 but to his friends, and perhaps to the public, if it 

 shall be given to the press, that it would seem 

 infinitely preferable to the other. No game laws 

 limit the season or the number of shots the cam- 

 era hunter may make; nor is his a merely selfish 

 amusement, as is in most cases that of the man 

 with the gun. The generous hunter who now 

 divides his game among a few friends may 'with 

 the products of a camera make his whole circle 

 happy.
