“It’s Livelier Than A Live Minnow!” 
exclaimed an old bass fisherman on first seeing this new 
floating, diving and wiggling bait at work. 
And when he had tried it out in a day's hard fishing 
he agreed that it had brought him more strikes, and 
landed more bass, than any live minnow—or bucketful 
of 'em—he had ever seen. 
The great strike-getting qualities of the 
“Pflueger • Surprise” Minnow 
are due to the fact that it can be made to perform, and 
the great control exercised by the “man behind the rod." 
The ‘Tflueger Surprise" floats until reeling in is 
commenced, the depth controlled by reeling speed: 
Coming in, its peculiar construction causes it to wiggle 
and dart about with the characteristic movements of a 
live minnow—arousing the combative instincts of the 
gamey bass. Stop reeling, and the bait rises to the 
surface. 
Made in seven color blends, as follows: 
No. 3970 Luminous Enamel Over All—Red Throat. 
No. 3980 White Enamel Over All—Red Throat. 
No. 3973 Wilte Enamel Belly—Blended Rainbow Back—Red Throat. 
No. 3985 White Enamel Belly—Blended Green Cracked Back—Red Throat. 
No' 3969 While Enamel Belly—Blended Green and Red Spotted—Red Throat. 
No" 3971 White Enamel Belly—Blended Green Back—Red Throat.

A HANDY BOX FOR SHOOTERS. 
Easton, Md., Feb. 6, 1916. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Old Camper has my best wishes that Ness¬ 
muk’s Corner will be a splendid success and that 
the Camp Fire will always burn brightly. Only 
those who have read the delightful writings of 
this wonderful woodsman, and are something of 
cranks themselves on camping and woodcraft, 
can have a full appreciation of the name of 
“Nessmuk.” 
I am sending in a description and sketch of a 
shell box that I have used pretty continually for 
the past fifteen years or more, principally for 
duck shooting and around the marshes. There 
are many like it in use and it is so simple that 
anyone who will take the trouble can make one. 
I prefer wood as when properly put together 
it seems to keep shells dryer than a metal box 
will do, and is better in other ways. It will be 
found useful to hold many other things besides 
shells. The inside dimensions are as follows: 
length, 14 in.; width, 10% in.; depth, 3 in. It 
is divided into three compartments for shells by 
V2 in. partitions, which make each compartment 
4% in. by 9 in.; with a 1% in. by 14 in. one along 
the hinge side to hold clearing rod, rags, etc. 
Sides and ends of box are 9-16 in. thick; top, % 
in.; and bottom % in. To make a watertight 
job all seams should have a coat of thick paint 
before they are nailed together. When finished 
it should have two coats of paint over the out¬ 
side and the top on both sides, but inside the 
box needs nothing. Use 6 in. strap hinges 
(measured when open), bent over back edge of 
top and the same size hinge hasp which makes a 
very secure fastening with a 12 ga. shell through 
the staple. A leather strap 1 in. wide for handle 
fastened strongly across the front with small 
nails and brass screws about finishes the job. 
Besides all the shells I need I generally carry 
a pair of field glasses, extra pair of gloves, oys¬ 
ter knife, string, cleaning rod, gun grease and 
rags, matches in waterproof match case made 
of 10 ga. and 12 ga. paper shells, shell extractor 
and about three sandwiches for lunch. In a blind 
the box makes a very good seat. I have also 
found another use for it. When ducks light out 
of gunshot and will not come in, I can always 
make them get up by slamming the top of the 
shell box down a few times, even if they are 
half a mile off. Such a box is also very useful 
on the marshes for rail shooting. 
Later on I want to tell you how successful 
my 12 foot Nessmuk canoe has been under sail, 
and send photos.

FIRE FOR COOKING. 
Start it with fine kindling and clean, dry hem¬ 
lock bark between two logs laid parallel. When 
you have a bright, even fire from end to end of 
the space, keep it up with small fagots of the 
sweetest and most wholesome woods in the forest. 
These are, in the order named, black birch, hick¬ 
ory, sugar maple, yellow birch and red beech. The 
sticks should be short and not over two inches 
across. Split wood is better than round. The 
outdoor range can be made by one man in little 
more than an hour, and the camper-out who once 
tries it will never wish to see a “portable camp 
stove” again.
