Keeping a Dog in Town. 
I tried keeping a dog once in New York, a 
small specimen, whom during the day I relegated 
to the back yard of my boarding house, after 
entering into a treaty offensive and defensive with 
the cook, involving pecuniary consideration; but 
it was attended with great embarrassments and 
troubles, and continually led to differences with 
the landlady. I think I moved seven or eight 
times that winter on account of such differences, 
besides frequently losing the small dog and 
expending many dollars for advertisements and 
rewards, until the frequency of mysterious dis¬ 
appearances became chronic, and led to a sus¬ 
picion that a certain dog merchant was making 
his season’s expenses out of me. 
It was in vain I moved, he followed my wander¬ 
ings until on the last occasion a long interval 
ensued within his producing the dog, and, when 
he finally appeared, I had struck a landlady of 
strong views and prejudices on the dog question, 
a woman of decided opinions. It was a good 
place, the surroundings were pleasant, the table 
excellent, added to which was a heavy charge by 
the dog man for capture and maintenance. I 
hesitated, and working myself up to a pitch of 
indignation with the small specimen, for his vaga¬ 
bond propensities, I declined further investments, 
and gave the man the animal for his bill, much to 
his dissatisfaction, I believe, but he walked off 
with Peter under his arm. It was many a day 
before I could rid my mind of the reproachful, 
beseeching last look that little dog gave me, as he 
stretched his neck over the man’s arm as he 
walked down the street. I felt mean, for the 
little thing looked heartbroken. I often wondered 
what that dog thought of me. What a mean 
opinion he must have had of human nature. 
“Forest and Stream.” 
This standard sportsman’s paper some time 
ago changed its shape to a semi-magazine style, 
much more convenient to hold, while reading. 
New type of attractive style is used on headlines 
and many more illustrations than formerly em- 1 
hellish the pages. Technically, these pictures are 
works of art. The subjects are those dear to the 
sportsman and the lover of nature, and the ar¬ 
ticles are of the degree of excellence which has 
raised the paper so high in the estimation of 
sportsmen throughout America particularly, and 
the world in general.—Cumberland (B. C.) News. 
STEEL FISHING 
RODS 
With the approach of the bass season your mind naturally turns to 
fishing tackle—and for the bass, which you know is a plucky little fighter, 
you naturally want a plucky little rod. 1 here is no- better bass rod 
made than the “Bristol” Steel Fishing Rod. It gives just enough, has 
strength to withstand the severe strains and is light. Different Bristols 
for different uses—all equally efficient. The “Bristol is the best all 
around rod made. Your dealer sells “Bristol rods, but for your 
protection see that you get the genuine. 
It has the name “'Bristol” stamped on the reel seat.

Steel Fishing Rod, etc., as well as the combination reel and handle.
