T HE SMITH GUN makes and breaks records. It 
is a product of the highest mechanical perfection 
combined with a practical knowledge of the needs of 
sportsmen. That’s why. And a Smith Gun with a Hunter 
One-Trigger attachment is just the last word in gun-making. 
THE HUNTER ONE-TRIGGER increases the efficiency of 
your second barrel fully 50 per cent. It means greater accuracy 
—insures against balking or doubling—and you always have 
your gun under control. 
The very newest Hammerless Smith Gun is the 20-Gauge 
Hunter One-Trigger which weighs only St to 7 pounds. It is 
all gun and no frills. No wonder it is the sensation of the 
gun-world. You ought to know about it. Your dealer should be 
able to tell you about it. Our handsomely lithographed Catalogue 
will tell you, too. Yours for the asking—write for it today.

THE GAME BOOK 
Standard Big Game Measurements 
Every man wants to compare his trophy with those of other big-game 
hunters. But comparisons are useless unless there is a fixed standard. 
The game book of the Boone and Crockett Club, the foremost organi¬ 
zation of hunters of American big game, supplies this. Compiled by J. H. 
Kidder, it provides directions for standard measurements of the large game 
animals of America, with spaces carefully arranged for complete data re¬ 
garding the kill, locality, time, conditions, etc. 
It is handsomely and durably bound, pocket size. It is an invaluable 
record for every man who goes into the wild for sport with the rifle, a 
handy book, a camp companion, and a library reminder of days afield.

space. The case being canvas lined and with 
heavy felt cloth attached to the zinc inner l.n 
ing, and having an air space between that and 
the egg trays, insures the eggs against heat or 
cold while in transit when properly iced and 
cared for. 
This case when packed ready for transporta¬ 
tion weighs about eighty pounds. 
An appliance for aerating water in transpor 
tation consists in attachments to the bottom of 
the can, one on each side about one-half inch 
thick, causing the can to rock continually from 
side to side with the slightest motion of the car. 
the water in the can assisting in the motion after 
once started, thus aerating itself without the 
necessity of an assistant while the train is in 
motion. 
We claim that this device is very effective 
simple and inexpensive. 
St. Lawrence Anglers. 
T he old board of officers was re-elected at 
the twenty-seventh annual meeting of the 
Anglers’ Association of the St. Lawrence River 
held recently at Alexandria Bay, N. Y., with one 
exception; Charles McDonald, of Gananoque, 
Out., was made a member of the executive com¬ 
mittee. 
TROUT AND BEARS. 
“Over in Cumberland Centre,” observed the 
Fish and Game Commissioner to an Augusta 
Journal man, “a man has made a big private 
fish preserve which he has stocked with trout 
He has in it 10.000 trout big enough for pan 
fish and he makes a business of selling trout 
spawn for transplanting into trout streams. 
This year he has thus sold several million of 
these trouts’ eggs. In addition he supplies ho¬ 
tel tables with fresh trout the year around and 
lets the privilege of fly fishing in the pond. 
“I’m more interested in bears,” observed the 
New Yorker. 
"Well,” replied the commissioner, “you can 
shoot bears anywhere and if you do so in 
Washington, Franklin and Oxford you’ll re¬ 
ceive a bounty as well as the pelt.” 
The commissioner remarked that many of 
the guides make a practice of educating and 
taming the cubs which they supply to the trade. 
One of these bears for a joke was let in late 
at night to a man’s room in a northern Maine 
town by a friend of the occupant. When the 
guest awoke and saw in the gloom the huge 
brute playfully bending over him he jumped 
from his bed, opened the window and slid down 
to the snow-covered ground in his pajamas 
and bare feet. 
MUSIC ONLY INCIDENTAL. 
Do fish like music? asks a Winsted corre¬ 
spondent of the Herald. That is a question 
fishermen at Highland Lake are trying to solve, 
and most of them who have tried their luck 
fishing while the sunset religious services were 
in progress on Highland Lake, Sunday evening, 
have come to the conclusion that music has 
charms for the fish. 
Every pleasant Sunday evening upward of one 
hundred and fifty cottagers at that resort as¬ 
semble in boats on the second bay of the High¬ 
land Lake and listen to a sermon. 
The congregation in boats joins heartily in 
the singing which is a feature of the services. 
Beyond the worshippers fishermen cast their 
flies for bass and troll for pickerel, and they de¬ 
clare the fish bite better during the period of 
the sunset services than any other part of the 
day.

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¬ 
fect 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.
