FOREST AND STREAM 
THREE POUND SHELTER TENT.

the sod-cloth all the way around. Then sew a 
piece of half inch tape around the inside of the 
tent on the ground line, that is. at the fold 
between the sides and the sod-cloth. The front 
edge should also be bound with tape. At the 
peak of the tent cut a perpendicular slit 3 or 4 
in. long for the ridge pole. This can be finished 
off with a buttonhole stitch. It is also well to 
reinforce the ridge by sewing a strip of cloth 
6 in. wide on the inside of the tent, thus making 
a double thickness oer the ridgepole. 
The next step is to attach the peg loops. There 
should be seven of these, three on each side and 
one at the back. Sew a small patch inside the 
tent for each loop; then make a small slit or 
buttonhole in the center of the patch. Tie a 
piece of thin rope into a loop 3 in. long, pull it 
through the hole in the patch, with the knot on 
the inside, and sew it fast with heavy thread. 
The tent is now complete save for the water¬ 
proofing. Good liquid waterproofing costs about 
eighty-five cents a gallon, and it takes just about 
a gallon to thoroughly waterproof a tent of this 
size. Pitch the tent in a shed, or some dry 
place, with the bottom clear of the ground, and 
work the solution well into the cloth, using a 
stiff brush. An old clothes brush will do very 
well. As soon as it is dry the tent is ready for 
camp.

YOUR NEW GUN 
H ave you ever bought anything, 
and ever afterwards had an 
indefinable feeling of wonder whether 
it would not have been better if you had 
selected something a little different ? 
The very first time you go out among your 
friends with a Fox Gun, you will have a 
mighty comfortable feeling that your selection 
was right. 
For Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt only 
voiced the sentiments of the best - informed 
gunners in the world when he said about the 
Fox—“No better gun was ever made.” 
Every Fox made, from #25 to # 1000 , is abso¬ 
lutely guaranteed for life.

JO-DOG AND THE TURKEY.

some better cover up to a closer range. For the 
next few steps I scarcely breathed and came as 
near to walking on air as I knew how. When 
I made the cover I had an easy time to get 
near enough for a fair shot, and when the smoke 
cleared I saw the old fellow pitching and whirl¬ 
ing down trying his best to sail off and there 
was Jo-dog right on him as he struck the ground, 
and he had him by the neck before I reached 
them. 
Jo had seen him. no doubt long before I did, 
and was watching and waiting for me to come 
up and I doubt not the old bird was looking 
down at the dog as I surrounded him. 
I wish I could give the measure and weight 
of him, but in those days we didn’t think of 
that. We called him “an old whaler,” I re¬ 
member we thought his “beard” the longest we 
had ever seen and the boys held a break-down 
when I toted him up home and had called them 
all in to see. 
Father was able to skin him for the northern 
man, having learned something of birds and how 
to preserve them from a gentlemen who had been 
here collecting once, when we were little fellows, 
and who had taken pains to give father some 
instructions, so he could save any rare birds; 
he had at times found a few nice ones that he 
skinned and forwarded. 
Shortly before Christmas father came in one 
morning with a letter and handed me a smooth 
fresh ten dollar bill that the letter said was 
for the lad who shot ’Old Spot,’ ” for father 
had written him the whole story. Father wouldn’t 
have any of the money for what he did so I 
called the other three boys together and shared 
with them and we each had more than ever 
before to spend for Christmas.

six ounces to about three-fourths of a pound in 
weight. There was no sign of Ned and Piney 
at camp so I cleaned the trout, washed the dishes, 
made a fire, boiled myself a pot of tea and sat 
down to smoke and wait for Ned and Tom. It 
was almost dark when they came in and Ned ad¬ 
mitted he was tired out but Piney seemed as 
fresh as a daisy. Such is the difference between 
twenty-one and forty-five. We had trout and 
potatoes for supper and Ned and Piney made a 
good, hot fire and we turned in soon after on the 
floor of the log house and immediately all went 
to sleep.
