MUSIC HATH CHARMS. 
We were sitting around the camp-fire in the 
wilds of Arizona. One and another had con¬ 
tributed a song or story save Jerry, the guide, 
who had sat in silence the entire time. “Oh! 
come, Jerry,” said John, “do give us a song— 
a real war-whoop—one that will awaken these 
mountain echoes; they seldom hear so good a 
voice.” “Well, boys,” said Jerry, “before I sing 
you a song, I will have to fire off a story, and 
then if you want me to sing afterwards, why I’ll 
go ahead. You see, boys, I was away up in these 
mountains with a prospecting party ‘searching’ 
for gold. I strayed off from the fellows one day, 
and losing the trail and night coming on, I 
thought to myself the best way for Jerry to do 
was to camp. So I sat myself right down where 
I was, stretched out these pins, and, wrapping 
my blanket about me, turned in for the night. 
But I wa’nt to sleep at once. No, indeed, for 
soon there came such a howling and snapping of 
teeth about me, that my hair stood on end. 
“There, in a circle about me sa£ as lively a 
pack of wolves as you ever did hear on, and 
being without my gun, you’ll bet, boys, I thought 
my time had come. Wall, my mother had taught 
me, when only a sprout, many a good thing or 
two, and among others I remember her saying, 
■“Now, Jerry my son, if you ever get into a tight 
place, just you say yer prayers and then sing a 
song, and all will be right.’ So I got right down 
on my knees, but after I rose up I saw the var¬ 
mints gitting closer and closer. But I was bound 
to carry out the whole programme, so I cleared 
my pipes and at it I went on the tune of ‘Old 
Hundred.’ On finishing the first line, the wolves 
commenced to kind of shake their heads, and 
look at one another. At the end of the second 
they rose up and bawled. At the end of the 
third, they tore around like mad, plowing the 
ground in all directions, while at the end of the 
fourth, they went a flying down the mountain 
side as if old Nick was after them. And now, boys, 
if you want me ter sing, jist say the word.” 
“Not much,” said John, seizing his gun, “not this 
evening.” Paddle.

Steel Fishing Rod. It is backed by over 17 years of experience in 
the making and is guaranteed free from defects in material or 
workmanship. Fishermen with years of experience tell us that 
they “have used everything in the shape of a rod from a branch to 
a $40.00 bamboo rod and nothing has given better service or lasted 
longer than the “Bristol.” 
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.
