Sam LovePs Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam LoveFs Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their aon, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

Trout are biting up in the highlands of Sullivan, 
Ulster, and Delaware counties, New York. The gamy 
bass will soon attract the angler. There is no more de¬ 
lightful summer country within easy reach of the large 
cities of the East than that referred to. The New York, 
Ontario & Western Railroad issues a neat booklet, which 
while telling all about it, and how to reach it, with a 
complete list of boarding houses and hotels, is in itself 
a work of art, with its splendid half-tone reproductions 
of the scenery of the region. For information address 
with 6 cents in stamps N. Y., O. & W. Ry. ( Dept. 4, 56- 
Beaver St., New York. 
The Sporting Goods Trade Directory for 1910, pub¬ 
lished annually by Charles C. Spink & Son, of St. Louis, 
Mo., is now ready. This year the book consists of 152 
pages and is a vast improvement over any previous one. 
Every article of sporting goods manufactured, together 
with a complete list of the names and addresses of the 
manufacturers appears. To any one desiring a complete 
guide to the centers of the sporting goods industry, the 
work is invaluable. 
The camp light or the light for canoe or launch is often 
a serious problem. The Baldwin lamp goes a long ways 
toward solving it. It is light, compact, easily carried 
and safe. A booklet that tells all about them will be 
mailed on request to John Simmons Co., 11 Franklin St., 
New York city. 
A big stock of summer goods, listed in a big free 
catalogue will be sent on request by John Wanamaker, 
New York. Summer home furnishings, camp equipment 
and supplies, fishing tackle, canoe, yachting, golf and 
tennis supplies are listed in complete assortments. 
The Harkauf trout minnow is said to be very effective, 
as the location of the hooks and the general make-up of 
the lure make it an attractive one. Ask to see it at 
your dealer’s, or send to the Pequea Works, Strasburg, Pa. 
THE STRANGER IN THE NIGHT. 
Fortunate the mortal now to whom is given • 
that most delicate of all haunting, illusive, 
momentary, and mocking but vaguely satisfy¬ 
ing and thrilling minor pleasures—the privilege 
of having the imagination intoxicated by the 
honk of the wild goose flying over the city on 
its way to the still frozen lakes of the north. 
Soothing relief for the city-tired spirit, says the 
Chicago Tribune, weary of the traffic squad 
whistle, the street car gong, and the automobile 
horn; weary of seeing unknown faces and brush¬ 
ing against unfriendly elbows. 
The wild goose is passing over the city, 
frightened no doubt by the strange glare below, 
which disturbs the darkness above; frightened 
or startled and crying out in the silent night, 
warningly, questioningly. Below: thousands of 
lights showing pale patches in aisles between 
shadows, dumb buildings with their eyes closed 
or closing; the sense of suspended life, por¬ 
tentous in its suspension; the loneliness of a 
sleeping city; the oppression of a great, dark, 
hopeful, sordid, grimy, uncouth city. Above: 
the black, unrelieved, impenetrable, boundless 
cover of the night. Out of this undefined waste 
of mystery the cry of the unseen pilgrim—the 
feathered alien in the dark skies. Then the 
odor of spruce, of balsam and pine; tamarack 
swamp and cold green and white moss; a lone 
duck in the sky against the crimson and purple 
of a northern sunset; the waves rustling the 
wild rice, the sedges, and the reeds, tapping 
against the sides of the boat, rolling on the 
sand; the ruins of a logging camp; the un¬ 
touched depths of pine; the deer track at the 
water’s edge; the splash of a fish dropping back 
into the water—yes, and the terrifying war cry 
of the mosquito. 
The waiting ears are strained for a repetition 
of the cry of this wanderer of the night which 
can conjure up such dreams. From the dark¬ 
ness comes no sound. Fades the smell of the 
woods, the beauty of the pines, the sound of the 
waves, the glory of the sunset, and to the 
loneliness of the trail and thoroughfare succeeds 
the loneliness of asphalt pavement and of aisles 
of silent houses. 
For an instant the honk of the wild goose 
had made it otherwise.
