gone into and encouraged, mountaineering is de¬ 
scribed and discussed, and then there is the chap¬ 
ter on camping for girls. The volume is fully 
illustrated with a great many useful and illumi¬ 
nating cuts. 
The arrangement and scope of the book are 
entitled to great praise. The volume should have 
a wide circulation and do much good.

SMITH 
HUNTER ONE— 
C HOOSE your gun as you would your hat— 'o fit you 
perfectly. It means higher scores and more birds. 
There is some rather wise advice on this point in our 
handsomely lithographed new Catalogue — and you may 
have it for the asking. 
THE FIRST THING to remember, however, is that it does make a great 
deal of difference whether or not your gun fits you. The ne>rt thing to 
remember is that there is a Hammerless Smith Gun that does fit you better 
than any other gun in the world. 
The most wonderful improvement in gun-making in the 
past fifty years is the Hunter One Trigger. It is just as 
great a boon to the professional as to the amateur sports¬ 
man. It spells accuracy to the highest degree. 
The most wonderful advance in gun-making this year is the thoroughly 
txied and tested new 20-Gauge Hammerless Smith Gun —with or without 
Ihe Hunter One-Trigger attachment. Weighs 5% to 71bs. Just 
all gun and no frills . Ask about it today.

HINTS FOR THE ANGLER. 
The angler who wishes to catch fish either 
in fresh or salt water must know the places 
where the fish are to be found; he must know 
the best bait, the proper size of the hook, the 
best distance at which to fish from the surface 
of the water and on the ocean or in the estu¬ 
aries; he must know about the time and con¬ 
ditions of the tides. Some fish bite on low 
water, others on high water, and some few on 
any tide while it is possible, providing one 
knows the locality to follow the fish as they 
desert one place for another according to the 
tide. In the inlets, bays, and thoroughfares of 
the New Jersey coast the fish rarely go out with 
the tide, but they simply seek some field more 
promising for their purpose, which is always 
to secure food. 
Most fish follow the incoming tide up on to 
the marshes as the water covers the grass and 
down around the roots of the grass seek small 
crustaceans or worms. As the water recedes 
the fish turn tail and go into deeper waters 
where the outgoing tide carries the food to 
them. There they wait their food in the same 
manner as do the fresh water fish which always 
head up stream after a shower and catch the 
worms and insects as they are brought down 
stream by the current. Consequently it is 
somewhat necessary that those who go for salt 
water fish should know something about the 
time and manner of tides and that at least one 
member of the party shall know the channels 
and other spots where the fish usually rendez¬ 
vous at certain times. The boatmen and other 
natives of the coast usually know all those 
things and therefore those who make their first 
or second trip to the ocean do the proper thing 
when they rely in a great measure upon the 
knowledge and theories of the natives. 
Any one within a hundred and fifty miles of 
the New Jersey coast can start early in the 
morning and if necessary secure four or five 
hours’ angling and return to his home the same 
evening, but it is nevertheless much better for 
those who live any considerable distance from 
the seashore to go there the evening before and 
get an early start in the morning, for, like all 
other fish, the denizens of the ocean usually 
ANGLING MEMORIES

Seasonable Books for the Sportsman’s Library 
MEN I HAVE FISHED WITH 
MY ANGLING FRIENDS 
Both by FRED MATHER 
These two volumes are a source of endless delight to the fisherman. They 
deal with every phase of the gentle sport from bent pins and willow poles to 
salmon flies and special rods—with every kind of fish as well. 
They are full of a quaint philosophy, written with a rare appreciation of human 
nature, and comprising sketches of angling “characters” as well as well-known men 
who were Mr. Mather’s brethren of the angle. Much of other sport and adventure 
beside fishing will be found between the covers of these books. These two large, 
splendidly bound, splendidly printed, and richly illustrated volumes of 400 pages 
each regularly sell for $2 each. While they last we offer
