Outing Clothes that Fit 
Duxbak garments are tailored to fit —to give utmost 
comfort, pleasure and satisfaction. They are made to 
meet the exacting requirements of outdoor women 
and men, not to meet a fixed price. Yet Duxbak 
clothes are cheapest, utility and comfort considered. 
Don’t let wet weather interfere with your outing- 
go prepared for any and all kinds. Duxbak garments 
—ideal for woods, camp and trail—are the only kind 
that defy both rain and sun. 
Duxbak is the only rain=proofed, cravenetted 
sportsmen’s clothing. But Duxbak cloth is not heavy or 
unwieldy. It is a soft, pliable fabric, closely woven, 
medium in weight—the finest material of all for 
outing garments.

MAIL-CLAD KNIGHTS. 
Through the publications of the Bureau of 
Biological Survey the public has recently been 
made familiar with the enormous damage done 
each year by wolves. Occasionally an added 
horror is imparted by the tale of children,, and 
even adults, failing to return home, whose fate 
is afterward revealed by bits of clothing scat¬ 
tered over the blood-stained snow and maybe an 
empty revolver or Winchester rifle. 
The writer has often wondered why the peo¬ 
ple interested in lessening these ravages do not 
take a hint from the porcupine or hedgehog. 
The mail-clad knight, slashing his way un¬ 
scathed through a pack of wolves vainly snap¬ 
ping at his armored limbs, is a familiar figure 
in stories of the Middle Ages. Why could not 
a modern knight repeat the experiment to much 
better purpose with revolver or magazine rifle? 
A suit of armor absolutely impenetrable to 
wolves’ teeth would probably not weigh more 
than fifty pounds, a trifle to a vigorous man. 
As a further discouragement, the armor might 
be studded, a la porcupine, with sharp spines of 
steel, just a trifle longer than the wolf’s canines. 
Such an outfit would probably not cost much 
more than a good suit of clothes, and if the 
sport became fashionable, the manufacturers of 
sporting goods would soon eclipse the fame of 
the ancient armorers of Milan. 
A party of three or four men, thus accoutred 
cap-a-pie, with a pair of snowshoes each, a ruck¬ 
sack with provisions and a divisible tent, ought 
to be able, in a country where this game is fairly 
abundant, to earn a handsome fortune each win¬ 
ter out of the bounties which the afflicted States 
pay for wolf skins, not to mention the rare sport 
of standing invulnerable back to back amid a 
pack of snarling, snapping beasts, panting after 
your blood and shooting them down as fast as 
you can pull the trigger. No doubt the rascals 
would soon learn to give the knights a wide 
berth, but a light cloth suit worn over the armor 
might lull their suspicions. Possibly the sword 
might afiford better sport than firearms, besides 
being less apt to scare the game. 
In Russia, where the wolf plague is even more 
serious than in the United States, this method, 
if found practicable, would render even greater 
services. Possibly it might be applicable to other 
game, and in the management of captive beasts 
in zoological gardens. The deadly cobra, for 
example, might be handled with impunity by a 
mail-clad attendant. — Washington Herald. 
WANTED TO KNOW HER RIGHTS. 
In Washington some years ago there was a 
colored woman who demanded all that was due 
her. On one occasion at a period when less care 
was given to the water supply than is now the 
case, the colored woman accosted a man who 
was just leaving the district Government build¬ 
ings. “Mistuh,” she said, “I wants ter state a 
case.” 
“I am not a lawyer, aunty.” 
“ ’Tain’t no law case. I ain’t gwine to sue 
nobody. I jes’ wants to know what my rights 
is an’ how to git ’em.” 
“You see any of the clerks here if it’s Govern¬ 
ment business.” 
“I ain’t got no piece o’ paper to shove in at 
de window so’s to get noticed. But I’s bein’ 
’scriminated against.” 
“What’s the trouble?” was the kindly inquiry. 
“I ain’ gittin’ proper ’tention. Ev’y once in 
a while I hyahs it read out o’ de paper dat some¬ 
body has got a eel out’n his hydrant.” 
“Well, an eel is a very cleanly sort of creat¬ 
ure. It doesn’t do any harm.” 
“You didn’ fink I was a-skyaht of ’em, did 
you? De case I wants to lay befo’ de Gover’- 
ment is dis: I pays extra rent to kiver de 
water tax. I’s had a hydrant in my back yahd 
foh fohteen years an’ I ain’ nebber got no eel 
yit. 
“What I wants to know is, how does dey 
’stribute dem eels? Is dey prizes or is dey favor- 
itisms or what is dey? If dar’s any eels cornin’ 
to me I’s hyah wif my basket, ready to take 
dem home right now, ’case we ain’t got no 
money to buy meat, an’ we’s kin’ of hongry foh 
feesh, anyhow.”

Camp-Fires of the Wilderness. 
By E. W. Burt. Cloth. Illustrated. 221 pages. Price, 
$1.25. 
The volume treats of a multitude of matters of in¬ 
terest to the camper, who, unless he is made comfortable 
by the exercise of a little expert knowledge and thought¬ 
fulness, may find himself when in camp the most miser¬ 
able of mortals. A man who has had experience, makes 
himself as comfortable in camp as at home, while the 
free and independent life, the exercise that he is con¬ 
stantly taking, the fresh air in which he works, eats and 
sleeps, combine to render his physical condition so per 
feet that every hour of every day is likely to be a joy. 
“Camp-Fires of the Wilderness” is written for those 
persons who wish to go into camp, yet are without ex¬ 
perience of travel, chiefly by canoe and on foot, through 
various sections of the country, and it may be read with 
profit by every one who enjoys camping.
