DICK SWIVELLER’S PLEA FOR THE 
WOODCOCK. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In a very recent number of Forest and Stream 
you refer to the influence this journal has had 
on its readers, leading them to a study of our 
game, song and insectivorous birds, their habits 
and habitat. Undoubtedly there are very many 
people who, while loving our birds, would have 
given them a passing glance had they not become 
closer acquainted through the pages of Forest 
and Stream, and eventually found bird life most 
attractive and entertaining. 
I naturally loved the birds, particularly the 
game birds, but gave them no particular study 
until I saw letters and articles telling about their 
habits in Forest and Stream. 
This was away back in 1873, I think, and I have 
been a bird lover ever since, with a constantly 
growing admiration for our feathered friends—a 
defender and protector of our upland game birds 
and water fowl—writing for years in the interest 
of game protection. In the years (forty of them) 
I have been writing for the sportsman’s press and 
other publications I have ever used my pen and 
voice against the market hunter and spring 
shooter, and am living over this span of years 
to see the light—the light that shines on “uni¬ 
versal protection’’ of all our game birds, to be 
shot in temperate number during the open sea¬ 
son—even though over this lapsj of years and 
work, I am afraid for the beautiful woodcock. 
Is there no way to save him?

MORE ABOUT EARLY SOUTHERN RIFLES. 
Hendersonville, N. C., April 6. 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
Referring to the issue of March 28th, the arti¬ 
cle, “Some Old-Time Rifles and Rifle Shooting,” 
by Old-Timer, I found quite interesting. The 
Pink Beds he speaks of, called because of the 
color of the Kalmia blossoms, is in Prigah forest 
and in the heart of the Vanderbilt estate. I know 
quite a number of the Paxtons and have no doubt 
the rifle “Old-Timer” saw was made by one of 
the Gillespies who lived not far away. There 
were two men—Gillespie by name-—who made 
rifles, and most of those I have seen were jetted 
with flint and steel. I have shot them, and they 
were very close shooters. One of the Gillespies 
lived on Mills River, the head-waters of which 
come from the Pink Beds region, and the other 
on East Fork, a branch of the French Broad 
River. These men lived to quite an old age— 
the one on the east fork to over ninety years 
of age. 
We now have with us the first of the thrush 
family to' arrive, and his song is almost the 
equal of the mocking bird. The first I heard 
and saw was on Saturday, March 28th, as I was 
walking from the train at Tuxedo to try my flies
