FROM THE GAME FIELDS.

potting birds on the ground or wherever he 

 can get them. There should be a law to 

 prevent the sale of game.

Why doesn't someone fill that fellow 

 full of buckshot while he is engaged in 

 this dastardly work ?— Editor. 



Outside the club properties there is no 

 goose shooting worth mentioning to be had 

 at Currituck, except in spring. I am great- 

 ly pleased to see the increase in birds in 

 this section. There is a most surprising 

 number of gulls, considering the slaughter 

 of 3 years ago. Last spring there was 

 considerable illegal shipping of ruddy 

 ducks. I propose to have that stopped this 

 year if possible. This county is fairly 

 alive with deer and bear.

Special State Game Protector Furnside arrested 

 an Italian, named March Domenich, in Glenville, 

 on Sunday, for shooting robins. Justice Dutcher 

 fined him $10 or 10 days in jail. The fine was paid. 

 The League of American Sportsmen intends to 

 push all violations of the forest, fish and game 

 laws, and offenders will be dealt with severely. — 

 Exchange. 



Here is one more robin shooter w r ho has 

 had a lesson in law. It may take a long 

 time to educate all of them, but we shall 

 keep our law school open and hope to 

 graduate them in time. — Editor. 



The law prohibiting the sale of game in 

 our State shows its good effect already, for 

 at no time in the last 10 or 15 years have 

 ducks and prairie chickens been so plenti- 

 ful. The law is being enforced most rig- 

 idly, and people are beginning to awaken 

 more and more to your teachings and to 

 understand more fully the value of laws 

 protecting our game.

In a lumber camp at which I spent a few 

 days recently, and which was situated near 

 a "beaver pond, the men were continually 

 seeing beaver in the daytime. One old fel- 

 low actually disputed the way with a chop- 

 per who happened to be in one of his roads. 

 He put up such a scrap that the man had to 

 turn out and give him the right of way.

Two Philadelphia men who spent 6 weeks 

 hunting in the country North of here report 

 I finding at Fish lake, Cottonwood creek, 

 Mount Lydia and Brook's lake carcasses 

 of elk with nothing but the teeth removed. 

 • Nelson Yarnell. the well known guide, re- 

 cently captured a fellow with 26 sets of elk 

 teeth in his possession. Al Davis.

Was in camp 40 miles from Shelburn 

 with Mr. D. B. Frost and his father. We 

 were in the woods 15 days and killed 2 

 large bull moose. October 4th I took a 

 party of 4 to a place 30 miles from here. 

 During the trip I called up 6 bull moose. 

 We got 3 bulls and a cow.

Shelburn, X. S. 



There is not much large game here. We 

 have, however, many quails, prairie chick- 

 ens, rabbits and squirrels, and a few ducks. 

 There are numerous bevies of quails within 

 V2 mile of town. We have no fish ; they 

 have all been seined or dynamited. 



George Glass, Perry, la. 



I have so far posted between 6,000 and 

 7,000 acres in this vicinity. My schem a is 

 working nicely. I no longer have to ask 

 farmers if they will post their land : they 

 come or write to me for posters. 



W. S. Mead, Woodstock, X. Y. 



There are plenty of quails in this new 

 country. Turkeys and prairie chickens are 

 found in some localities. 



W. I. Lacey, Anadarko, Okla. 



We have a fair number of ducks and 

 geese. All other game is. scarce.

It is not too early to begin planning 

 your summer vacation. Where will you 

 spend it ? If you expect to camp out or to 

 take a canoeing trip, a tent is the first 

 necessity. I can send you, as premium, 

 one of almost any size you may wish on 

 the basis of one yearly subscription to 

 Recreation for every dollar of the price 

 named in manufacturer's list. W r rite me 

 for further particulars and begin taking 

 subscriptions at once. The manufacturers 

 have time now to fill orders. If you delay 

 until their busy season opens, your entire 

 vacation may be spoiled by an unavoid- 

 able delay in the shipment of your tent. 

 By having everything ready for a prompt 

 start you will enhance the pleasure of 

 your trip tenfold. Send in your club at 

 once and I will do the rest. 



"In all my life," she said, with a sigh. 

 "I have seen only one man I should care 

 to marry." 



"Did he look like me ?" he carelessly 

 asked. 



Then she flung herself into his arms, and 

 wanted to know what secret power men 

 possess that enables them to tell when they 

 are loved. — Chicago Record-Herald.
