he Sandusky, they killed four bears and a great 
I nany wild turkeys. Tecaughnetanego gravely 
issured Smith, that this was a clear and direct 
tnswer to his prayer. 
In the summer of 1759, and in the fourth year 
>f his captivity, or rather adoption, Smith, ac- 
ompanied by Tecaughnetanego and Nungany, 
ailed in a bark canoe down the St. Lawrence 
xs far as Montreal. 
Here he-privately left his Indian companions, 
and went on board a French transport, which 
J le had heard was about to sail, with a number 
| >f English prisoners on board, intended to be 
:xchanged. After having been detained some 
i ime in Montreal, in consequence of the English 
leet being below, he was at length exchanged, 
nd returned to his native country. His family 
md sweetheart received him with great joy; but 
o his inexpressible mortification, poor Smith 
Found that the latter had been married only a 
ew days before his arrival. 
THE KILLDEE. 
The killdee is known to every sportsman in 
he land. The bird is practically useless as an 
rticle of food, and yet some are unsportsman- 
ike enough to kill it on sight. The killdee’s 
iredominating color is a beautiful cinnamon 
irown that becomes a deep red when touched 
>y the sun. The bird makes a fair and shining 
nark and it is killed from the sheer lust of the 
rilling. 
It is the experience of the members of the 
\.udubon societies of the country that rarely has 
he true sportsman been appealed to in vain for 
id in the preservation of bird life. The gunner 
vho is not a pot-hunter, is content with a fair 
lay’s shooting. A heavy game bag is not neces- 
afily the all in all of spor’t. He gets much from 
lis day afield besides the quarry. The true 
portsman is a nature lover. The killdee has 
ilways been considered a game bird, even 
1 hough it is as useless for the table as is any 
cavenger English sparrow. The man who 
vould think it a high crime to kill a robin will 
hoot a killdee every time one rushes from the 
ield. The ornithologists are hopeful that the 
pinners of the country will heed the warning 
vord of Mr. Dutcher that the killdee is verging 
m extinction. This address will be printed and 
ent to every nature lover and sportsman in the 
and. If it does not do the service for which 
t is intended, the killdee plover is said to be 
loomed to extinction. The range of the killdee

A Club Cocktail 
IS A BOTTLED DELIGHT 
Most Americans are connoisseurs in Cocktails—and a con¬ 
noisseur’s taste demands uniformity in the flavor, strength 
and mixing of his favorite drink. There’s only one kind 
of uniformly good cocktail—CLUB COCKTAILS. Bar 
cocktails are slap-dash guesswork—good by accident, bad 
by rule—but never smooth or uniform to a cultivated 
taste. CLUB COCKTAILS are scientifically blended 
from choicest liquors, aged and mellowed to delicious 
flavor and aroma. Insist on CLUB.

Col. Fred A. Olds, Raleigh, N. C.: 
My Dear Sir —Having just returned from a visit 
to Gen’l F. A. Bond, Hunters’ Lodge, N. C., I 
hasten to thank you for having put me in com¬ 
munication with that gentleman. Certainly no one 
could ask more than a comfortable home, a luxu¬ 
rious table, pleasant society and an abundance of 
game within easy reach; and all of this General 
Bond offers those who are fortunate enough to be 
his guests, and when in addition to this, one finds 
his charges extremely moderate, it is certainly 
what you described as a “Bonanza.” Thanking you 
again for your valuable assistance, I am yours 
faithfully,
