Why the 
Smith Gun is the 
Favorite of Sportsmen 
The Hunter One-Trigger, now attached on order to Smith ^ 
Hammerless Guns, is a distinct triumph which bids fair to make 
all two-trigger guns obsolete within a short time. 
There is already an enormous demand for the new 20 Gauge Smith Gun 
—weight to 6 lbs., and a little beauty. If you do not know about it, be 
SmitK 
Hunter One-Trigger 
The Hunter One-Trigger absolutely 
can not balk or double. It shoots left 
and right, right and left, all lefts or all 
rights, as desired.

PUBLISHERS* DEPARTMENT. 
Anglers and owners of trout waters in the East who 
are not familiar with the rainbow trout may feel a lively 
interest in the advertisement of the Plymouth Rock Trout 
Co., of Plymouth, Mass., which is prepared to supply 
rainbow trout to anglers of the Eastern States. The 
experience which this concern has had with this species 
leads them to believe that it will be found a most ex¬ 
cellent fish for waters adapted to trout. They grow 
rapidly and are very gamy. The company can deliver 
these fish, and guarantee them to be alive and in perfect 
condition in New England, eastern New York or New 
Jersey. 
An excellent duck call, made by Philip G. Olt, is ad¬ 
vertised in another column. By a simple arrangement 
the tone of the call may be varied at will,, and a very 
natural imitation obtained. 
THE FOREST FIRE. 
Last riight there was a glimmer on the height, 
A mighty glow-worm in the mountain’s hair. 
It cast a sheen—a ghostly, tree-barred light. 
Which quickened to a red and restless flare. 
A sullen awe hung heavy on the night— 
Save for a wavelike rushing from afar, 
A misty clouding of the evening star— 
And from his haunt of silence crept the bear. 
At dawn to-day a shower fell from heaven. 
The mighty glow-worm writhed and hissed and fumed. 
The sun grew red with smoke, and hell, new-riven. 
Breathed of disasters buried and exhumed. 
The cattle stood, amassed in fear, undriven. 
The birds sat silent ’mong the forest spires. 
All silent fell the mighty forest lyres. 
And phantoms in the birches whispered, “Doomed.” 
To-night the pall has lifted, and the dark 
Fades wildly routed, to the western skies. 
And all the east’s ablaze, as never lark 
Beheld in any dawn. The groans and cries 
Of forest giants, battling, stripped and stark. 
Against the lyrithing, red-eyed fiends of flame. 
Torture the night with horror, pain and shame. 
As on the yellow-hairy Demon flies. 
To-night — the face of man is blanched with dread. 
To-night — the soul of man is black despair. 
He waits, he hopes, then slowly turns his head. 
And mingles with the beasts that from their lair 
Have leaped in terror and to safety sped, 
As in millennium, in mad affright, 
kind, they rush on through the night. 
While hell’s own banners wave upon the air. 
—Stephen Chalmers in the New York Times.
