among the foreign quarters in Manhattan, or 
in any of our greater American cities; or your 
camping supply house could get the goods on 
order. Those of the objects which are of per¬ 
manent use, make an interesting den or glass 
case collection for the edifying of one’s visitors 
under some such caption as “representative camp¬ 
ing conveniences of all nations.’’ Limiting the 
e.xhibit to only small portable articles, the group 
does not occupy much space, as it can be con¬ 
densed into some couple dozen—or at most 
couple score—exhibits. Let the reader try to 
get together such an interesting collection some 
time. He can easily do it himself by getting 
around per pedomobile, and if observant will 
learn much that is entertaining of how our many 
foreign colonies live in our midst: how the 
Spaniard of upper Manhattan imports and eats 
a fish food preserved in ink (real ink, being pure 
sepia) ; the Italian of Mulberry plaza region 
consumes quantities of the frogs’ legs and snails 
on daily sale; the East Side Jew buys his ginger 
bread in yard-long sausage-like lengths; the 
Oriental gets all the year round, canned, his 
snow-white delicious strawberries; the Teuton 
has his compressed fig-coffee, usable as both 
beverage or eaten as a sustaining food; the Jap 
has his sugar made from rice; the Syrian has his 
made from raisins, and so on.

The contests were not only the most suc¬

Patterson, La., Feb. 28 .— Editor Forest and 
Stream: Here’s your $3.00 check for twelve 
months’ subscription to Forest and Stream, 
which is the best investment I ever made, as I 
consider Forest and Stream one of the greatest 
journals of outdoor sports on the market. 
A few bear and quite a number of deer 
were bagged by the sportsmen here the past 
season, though deer were reported scarcer than 
ever before, known, owing no doubt to the drown¬ 
ing of hundreds by the flood waters last spring 
and the wholesale slaughter by negroes and 
“poor white trash” who killed them by the 
dozens, as the poor creatures were bunched on 
the ridges and levees where they were driven 
by the crevasse waters from the Mississippi. 
With best wishes for Forest and Stream, 
I am, yours very truly, C. W. Mitchell. 
P. S.—May send you some good pictures at 
a later date. 
The Joy Piscatorial.

Fishing time is coming; 
Hear the bullfrogs sing. 
The pussy willow’s budding. 
Birds are on the wing. 
Fishing time is coming: 
Fix up your lines and bait; 
Have the fish pole handy. 
You w'on’t have long to w'ait. 
Fishing time is coming; 
There’s music in the air; 
Brooks and streams are calling. 
Calling everywhere.
