“It’s Livelier Than A Live Minnow!” 
exclaimed an old bass fisherman on first seeing this new 
floating, diving and wiggling bait at work. 
And when he had tried it out in a day's hard fishing 
he agreed that it had brought him more strikes, and 
landed more bass, than any live minnow—or bucketful 
of 'em—he had ever seem 
The great strike-getting Qualities of the 
“Pflueger . Surprise” Minnow 
are due to the fact that it can be made to perform, and 
the great control exercised by the “man behind the rod." 
The 'Tflueger Surprise" floats until reeling in ia 
commenced, the depth controlled by reeling speed. 
* Coming in, its peculiar construction, causes it to wiggle 
" and dart about with the characteristic movements of a 
live minnow—arousing the combative instincts of the 
gamey bass. Stop reeling, and the bait rises to the 
surface. 
Made in seven color blends, as follows: 
No. 3970 Lumlnoua Enamel Over All—Red Throat. * 
No. 3980 Whit* Enamel Over All—Red Throat. 
No. 3973 Wl.lt© Enamel Belly— Blended Rainbow Back—Red Throat 
No. 3985 Whit© Enamel Belly—Blended Green Cracked Back—Red Throat 
No 3969 Whit© Enamel Belly—Blended Green and Red Spotted—Red Throat. 
N ' 0071 Whit© Enamel Belly—Blended Green Back—Red Throat 
No 3993 Y ® Uow Red Throat 
This year do not fail to try out the 
“Pflueger Surprise." See it at your 
dealer's. If he can't supply you. send 
75c for a sample bait, or $2.50 for an 
assortment of four, sent postpaid.

An Angry 
Bull Moose 
Ferociously Charged 
Theodore Roosevelt 
near Quebec, last hunting season. 
How the Colonel killed the Bull 
in self defense, after having previously 
obtained his legal limit of Moose, 
is told by him in the February 1916 
“Scribner", and by sworn affidavit 
at Quebec. 
Caribou and Deer 
are abundant in parts of Quebec 
Province, as well as moose and bear. 
The Best Trout Fishing 
in the world is in the Province of Quebec, 
and so are the best Guides both for fishing 
and hunting. Read Henry van Dyke’s de¬ 
scription of some of them in “Little Rivers.” 
Mining Rights 
are obtainable on most liberal conditions.

Would you like to own 
A Summer Camp 
for your family, by a forest-clad stream or 
mountain-surrounded lake ? 
You can build one of your own, by leas¬ 
ing a fishing and hunting territory from the 
Government of the Province, whether a 
resident of it or not, or by joining one of 
the many fish and game clubs. 
Write for an illustrated booklet on 
“The Fish and Game Clubs of Quebec”, 
which tells you all about them, and address 
all enquiries concerning fishing and hunting 
rights, fish and game laws, guides, etc., to

TOBACCO 
HABIT 
A very interesting book has been published on tobacco 
habit—how to conquer it quickly and easily. It tells the 
dangers of excessive smoking, chewing, snuff using, etc., 
and explains how nervousness, irritability, sleepless¬ 
ness, weak eyes, stomach troubles and numerous other 
disorders may be eliminated through stopping self¬ 
poisoning by tobacco. The man who has written this 
book wants to genuinely help all who have become ad¬ 
dicted to tobacco habit and says there’s no need to suf¬ 
fer that awful craving or restlessness which comes 
when one tries to quit voluntarily. This is no mind- 
cure or temperance sermon tract, but plain common 
sense, clearly set forth. The author will send it free, 
postpaid, in plain wrapper. Write, giving name and 
full address—a postcard will do. Address: Edward J. 
Woods, 1490 B, New York City. Keep this advertise¬ 
ment; it is likely to prove the best news you ever read 
in this journal.
