RECREA TION.

From "Town Topics," Nov. 25th 



In a great laboratory where quantities like the Club Cocktails 

 are made at a mixing each article is accurately weighed or meas- 

 ured, and the compound is following an exact formula. This 

 insures that each and every cocktail or bottle of cocktails put up 

 shall be precisely correct in its composition. Again recalling the 

 fact that age is necessary to the proper blending of all liquors, it 

 occurred to me that these bottled cocktails, by the time they are used 

 by the consumer, may have already been months or even years in 

 bottle, hence that the blending must be perfect. Reasoning thus, 

 I feel constrained to tell my readers about it, as I know a goodly 

 number of them enjoy a perfect cocktail. I have found the sev- 

 eral brands prepared by the Heublein Brothers — Manhattan, 

 Martini, whiskey, gin, vermouth, and York — all excellent. 



For the Yacht, Camping Party, Summer Hotel, Fishing Party, 

 Mountains, Sea-Shore, or the Picnic. 



These Cocktails are aged, are ready for use, and require only 

 to be POURED OVER CRACKED ICE and strained off to be in 

 perfect condition.

POISONING WOLVES. 



To poison wolves I have used a mixture 

 of 15 grains curare and 300 grains of strych- 

 nine crystals, which kills almost instantly. 

 This mixture I place in the blood, entrails 

 and tallow of an elk freshly killed. Then tak- 

 ing a piece of the elk that I do not want, say 

 the head, I get on my horse and with a lariat 

 drag the head in a direction opposite the 

 one I shall take going home. I carry an 

 extra piece of meat with me and make trails 

 to the 4 points of the compass, each ex- 

 tending one or 2 miles from where the bait 

 lies. At the end of each trail I drop a piece 

 of meat. In this way a wolf crossing any of 

 these trails is almost sure to go to the bait. 

 For foxes I shoot small birds with a .22 

 rifle and while birds are warm place a small 

 amount of the mixture in the shot wound. 

 This seems to fool Mr. Fox pretty often.
