DOUBTFUL POWDER. 
i 
i One day, after listening to a story particu¬ 
larly offensive with age, Lincoln McConnell, 
'the Georgia evangelist, told this: 
; An old darky went into a store down in 
^Georgia and asked: 
'“Say, boss, you got any gunpowdah heah?” 
■“Yes, we have gunpowder.” 
“Lemme see some of that theah gunpowdah.” 
The dealer showed him some. 
“Pore a little of that powdah in my hand.” 
The old darky took the powder near the light, 
ran his forefinger around and around in it, 
looked at it critically, and then smelled it. 
“And you say this heah is powdah?” 
“Yes,” answered the dealer sharply; “that is 
powder. What is the matter with it?” 
“Dunno, boss”—the darky shook his head 
doubtfully—“but hit smells to me like it’s done 
been shot off befoah.”—Judge.

An Absolute Waterproofing Solution for Dry Flies 
A Dry Artificial Fly can be dropped 
on wafer to look like a Live Fly; 
a water soaked one cannot. 
Any angler can readily see the advantage in 
handling Dry Flies, both for convenience and 
efficiency. 
To fool the trout, get as near to nature as pos¬ 
sible. Natural Flies are on top of the water, 
not swimming below the surface, consequently 
‘'DKIFIil” gets near to nature and fills the 
trout basket. 
Directions : 
Dip the flies into the “DKIFLI,** let stand for 
one minute, then press lightly betwen blotting 
paper The Flies prepared in this way with 
^*i)KIFLI” are gniiranteed to float for 1*2 hours 
or more continual use, and not only that, but 
makes the Fly last much longer. Leaves no oil 
rings on surface of water. Sold at all Sporting 
Goods Stores. Price 
23 Cents.

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 illus¬ 
trated volumes of 400 pages each regularly sell for $2 each. While they last 
we offer
