SMITH’S LADY GLADSTONE AND HER 
TRAINER. 
Folks who do not know tnink great dogs are 
born. The trainers who produce them admit 
there is much in the breeding, but from experi¬ 
ence they know that it is the opportunity on birds 
and lots of them that develops all the breeding 
the dog owns and puts on the finishing touches 
that make up the high-class championship setter 
or pointer. 
Starting in at the Independent Trials in Illi¬ 
nois the past fall and going down the line, was 
the famous setter bitch Smith’s Lady Gladstone. 
In every start she proved to all watchers of the 
trials that she was a good one. I watched her 
•in her training when in the slightly broken coun¬ 
try of north Mississippi it took three men and 
as many horses, and good ones at that, to keep 
in sight of her. 
Her trainer was patient. He got her going 
fast and wide and great in range, and her own 
natural bird dog ability put the bird work she 
did in a class by itself. I saw her hold birds 
thirty minutes. I saw her work on singles. It 
was as great work as that told about by the mar¬ 
ket bird hunters who have dogs that never fumble 
a bird, nor lose a dead one. 
And when I had seen with my own eyes all 
there was to see of her, I knew I had come across 
one of the greatest bird dogs ever bred and 
trained. To say that she is the best finished dog 
on birds that I ever saw, is putting it mildly. I 
have not seen them all, but I have seen cham¬ 
pions of reputation do a lot of work that this lit¬ 
tle bitch would be ashamed to perform. 
This bitch has not gone back in any of her 
starts. Every time she has gone better and bet¬ 
ter until she went out in the hands of an ama¬ 
teur handler in the All America trials and won 
the championship and was awarded the place by 
every one who saw her run. 
Too much cannot be said of a trainer who will 
steadily keep working in spite of losses and dis¬ 
appointments. It shows that a trainer knows 
quality in a dog and keeps at it till he gets it out. 
Grady W. Smith, who developed this great little 
bitch, is a hard working fellow who puts in from 
twenty to forty miles a day with his dogs and in¬ 
sists that his helper do the same. He does not 
beat brains into dogs, as some say is necessary, 
because he knows it is a waste of time and the 
ruination of the dog. They have to have ability 
and show it and improve steadily, or he does not 
want to work them. 
It is whispered among Grady’s friends that he 
is going to quit the sporting dog game and go out 
on the Coast to work the bench show circuits. 
This will be a calamity to the field dog game in 
the central west and south, because we need more 
Gradys in the business. I do not know that this 
is so, but have heard it among the fanciers and 
breeders and trainers who are close to Grady 
Smith, and they ought to know. 
More doctors and lawyers and business men 
could get into the field dog fancy with benefit to 
themselves and their dogs. All they need to do 
to really get interested is to breed a few good 
ones and put them into a trainer’s hands where 
they will get a chance to show what is in 
them. B. 
WINTER FEEDING POPULAR. 
The appeal to sportsmen, farmers and bird- 
lovers in general to provide food and shelter for 
game birds during the harsh weather of the win¬ 
ter months, as advocated by Forest and Stream, 
is meeting with widespread interest throughout 
the country. Newspapers regard the plan with 
favor and are giving much desirable publicity to 
the proposition. Information reaches this office 
daily of many local sportsmen’s organizations 
which are co-operating with the state officials in 
saving the birds from starvation. 
ROCK RIVER MAY BE RESTOCKED. 
Anglers at Janesville, Wis., will soon present 
petitions to the state game commission and to 
the state game warden asking for the planting 
of 10,000 or 15,000 small fry of bass and pike in 
Rock River. The stream was formerly an ex¬ 
cellent fishing region, but is now practically 
fished out. 
THE KING. 
By Louise Upham Brooks. 
The King wears a crown, and a worried frown, 
For his throne is ever tilting, 
And he must ride in his coach of state, 
’Though the birds are sweely lilting. 
I make my throne of the new-mown hay, 
With the blue, blue sky above me; 
With only my will to choose my way 
And my little brown dog to love me. 
And oh, for the love of a little brown dog, 
King’s ransom cannot buy it, 
Nor win one wag of his curly tail— 
If you don’t believe me—try it. 
So never we envy the weary King, 
As we rest on our throne of clover; 
But he may share and sup with us, 
When his gold throne tips over.
