"rom one last year my wife and I took 
■iglit brook trout between us one rainy 
norning, each one over nine inches, in 
bout two hours’ fishing. Every one of 
hese we returned as we had sufficient, 
aught the afternoon before, to bring 
■ack to town for dinner that evening. 
It is not always easy to remember that 
he hand must be wet before touching- 
fish that one intends to return to the 
/ater and even so the greatest care must 
e taken so that the film covering the 
sh is not broken. Otherwise it will die 
f disease.

HE third of the localities I have 
mentioned is not far from Blairs- 
wvn. Newton is the station, and from 
here a car may be hired for little to 
rive you to Middleville, eight miles 
way, where a small hotel puts you up 
omfortably and cheaply. At the back 
f this inn is a tiny brook, and early in 
le season there are an astonishing num- 
I er of trout therein. By no means are 
ley all small fish. However, after May,

'aulingskill. At the junction of these 
aters, it is well to be careful, for the 
'ater is very deep, smooth-flowing and 
eceptive, but there, and also for a mile 
hove this place and especially for a 
:retch of four or five miles beyond, is 
xcellent water. 
Last year I had an opportunity to fish 
lis junction and deserted it after an 
our, vowing there were no fish there 
id driving over to Blairstown district 
here I caught nothing. At night, upon 
iy return to the hotel at Middleville, 
was shown seven nice fish which had 
een taken on a March brown fly— 
lough it was June—from the very spot 
here I had fished ! 
I have told at length of these districts 
ecause I know them well as I have

- I have fished certain water from

In response to the requests of sports¬ 
men and trappers, Remington now 
offers this rifle with either .22 long 
or .22 short chamber, as you prefer. 
T O the man who knows fine arms and fine 
ammunition no more is needed than the bare 
announcement that the Remington Autoloading 
Rifle, Model 24, can now be had chambered for 
Palma .22 Long Rifle Cartridges.

Remington Palma .22 Long Rifle and

You can get them anywhere. 
The Remington Autoloading Rifle—chambered 
for .22 shorts—was the outstanding 
rifle achievement of 1922. As sports¬ 
men, hunters and trappers got to know 
its quality, the feeling grew that the 
usefulness of so fine an arm should not 
be restricted to the comparatively short 
ranges and low velocity of the .22 
short cartridge. 
With the perfection of Palma .22 Long Rifle 
Cartridges—and the increased accuracy they 
assured—this demand for the Model 24 cham¬ 
bered to take .22 long rifles was intensified. 
So today you can have it in your choice of 
chambers—.22 long rifle or .22 short—a Rem¬ 
ington rifle in all that implies.
