Sketches of character and incident with rod and gun from 
childhood to manhood; from the killing of little fishes 
and birds to a buffalo hunt. By Fred Matlier. Illus¬ 
trated. Price, $2.00. 
It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The .chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and have 
been of sustained interest. The “Men I Have Fished 
With” was among the most popular stories of papers ever 
presented to Forest and Stream readers.

gives the best account ever published of the re¬ 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog.
