in enforcing the law, because our object, more 
than anything else, is to teach the offender that 
he must not slaughter indiscriminately. We wish 
to arouse public feeiing on this question to a 
point where the people will be ready to help 
us in our work. 
“Some of the justices of the peace that we 
had had to contend with in small towns have 
hindered as much as they have helped us, but 
they are gradually seeing that we are honest 
in our endeavors to save the game and are slow¬ 
ly swinging over to our way of looking at the 
question. It is surprising how the ‘natives’ will 
stand together against the game, warden. In 
consequence I’ve had many amusing experiences. 
“A couple of years ago when down on the 
eastern end of Long Island looking for some 
‘pot hunters,’ I put up at the local hotel and 
posed as a purchaser of real estate. One after¬ 
noon I heard a gun bang over in the marshes. 
To all outward appearances I paid no attention 
to it, but by watching the guilty shooters I 
finally got them ‘red-handed.’ When they both 
had to pay big fines the hotel keeper was so 
mad at me that he refused to give me anything 
more to eat, and I had to move.’’ 
Game Warden Sauter and his nine men have 
to take care of the metropolitan and Long Island 
districts, which include Staten Island, Kings, 
Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties, the waters 
of Long Island Sound, New York Harbor, the 
Great South Bay and the Peconics. Even 
though Mr. Sauter has but one little 40-foot 
launch to help him cover the waters of these 
districts, he obtained a large number of con¬ 
victions for violations of the game laws. Among 
the “pot hunters” Joe Sauter, as he is known, 
bears the reputation of being harder to handle 
“than an eight-gauge shotgun loaded for duck.” 
And just as soon as those 175,000 birds are 
tagged. Warden Sauter will devote his energies 
to catching violators of the Bayne law, no mat¬ 
ter whether they are behind a counter or a gun. 
AN EXPERIMENT IN NOT STRIKING. 
The other evening, after I had got all the 
trout I wanted to take home, I had half a mile 
to walk along the river on the way to the sta¬ 
tion, and it struck me I would experiment to 
see how many trout would hook themselves if 
I did not strike. It was a thing I had never 
tried before in my life—except, perhaps, when 
I had seen a small fish rise at my fly and did not 
want to hook it and disturb the water, and per¬ 
haps injure the fish. I tried with a pink Wick¬ 
ham, oiled—you can see it so easily. The trout 
were in taking mood, and every time I got the 
fly properly over a fish, without drag from the 
stream on the line, the Wickham was taken, and 
instead of striking at once I did nothing, and in 
almost every case the fish succeeded in ejecting 
the fly safely. I had at least a dozen good rises 
in this way, and only hooked a small trout and 
a pound roach full of spawn. 
Now, if I had struck instead of giving the fish 
time, I am quite sure I should have hooked at 
least eight or nine of those trout—some were 
good fish—and it confirms my experience that 
in fly-fishing for trout you can hardly be too 
quick in striking. With dace it is impossible 
to be too quick. Where trout run over 2 pounds 
they are more leisurely in their movements, and 
you are safer to hook the fish if you count ‘one- 
two’ after seeing the water broken by his nose, 
especially in fishing for big trout in lakes. But 
in the ordinary way with trout or grayling 
under 2 pounds tighten gently on the fish the 
instant you see the rise. I was fishing with a 
friend recently who kept missing rise after rise 
and blamed the hook, when he was invariably 
too late in the strike.—News of the World. 
TRUE. 
There is no doubt that fish feel the heat. It 
is well known that lobsters and shrimps change 
color with extreme changes of temperature.—

SAM LOVEL’S BOY 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, 
who grows up under the tuition of the coterie ot 
friends that we know so well, becomes a man just at 
the time of the Civil War, and carries a musket in 
defense of what he believes to be the right.
