south to the Mexican boundary. In 
Mexico the same and kindred species 
inhabit a large area. 
The antelope jack-rabbit is not 
hunted as game, for he seems to suffer 
from the same diseases that make the 
ordinary jack-rabbit unpalatable to 
civilized man. However, the sportsman 
in search of desert quail, on topping 
a ridge in the rolling plains, will rarely 
see a more beautiful sight than two or 
three pairs of these rabbits in full flight 
before him. With the grace of a herd 
of deer, they run at a furious pace, 
making leaps 3 to 4 feet high and 6 to 
S feet long, and flashing the white 
patch first on one side and then on the 
other. 
To be sure of seeing antelope jacks 
the traveler should take some of the 
little used roads north of Oracle, Ariz., 
or between Tucson and A jo. Some¬ 
times the careful observer will see a 
few along the Tucson to Florence high¬ 
way, or other main roads. For travel on 
the minor roads, the other rewards are 
good quail shooting, and the most in¬ 
teresting and impressive desert land¬ 
scapes in America.

The Latest Id ea in Fish Hooks 
They have the direct pull 
from point to end of shank, 
also evenly balanced, does 
not tear the gill, pierces a 
hole only the width of barb. 
The principal feature is they 
will "twist" automatically, 
the fish having very little 
chance of escape. The snell 
will not break at the con¬ 
nections, having no "hinge" effect, which 
causes other hooks to break. It is the only 
open hcok that has weedless action, yet 
nothing to obstruct the fish from getting 
caught, it is the surest and deadliest hook 
known.

_,elf, or better still by a younger mem¬ 
ber of the family, preferably a boy of 
7 to 14 years. A girl or wifey will 
suffice, if they are not afraid to hook 
a small wriggling worm by the skin 
on a very small hook. All around, close 
in shore of every pickerel lake small 
fish abide, such as perch, catfish, chub, 
various minnows, and young pickerel 
the latter quite as serviceable, for the 
wicked adult father or mother pickerel 
take them just as readily as other fish. 
These little fishes will readily take a 
mall worm, not larger than \Vz inches 
_ong, impaled by the skin only on a 
small No. 12 hook attached to fine gut 
and tied to a short workable line which 
you fasten to the tip of a six foot 
willow withe. To be more up to date, 
use a light 8 foot trout red, no reel is 
necessarv. A good plan to keep the 
bait alive is to scrape out a little pool 
at edge of the lake, dam the prisoners 
in where they will live in the same 
water till required. Perch and catfish 
require that the spine fins be cut off 
with scissors which does not in the least 
impair their vitality as baits. 
Of course there are other methods to 
get pickerel, such as skittering the sur¬ 
face and trolling live or artificial baits 
_which will require a separate chapter. 
The foregoing remarks are in direct 
opposition to my own methods and 
theory in using artificial nature lures 
of my own invention. I am broad 
enough to consider the varied opinions
