HUNTER ONE—-TRIGGER 
T HE simplicity of construction of a Ham- ..JC 
merless Smith Gun appeals to all sports- K'J. 
men. A novice can quickly take it down 
and put it together. It is this simplicity of 
mechanical construction that has made it so 
popular—that has given it undisputed leadership. 
IT IS this simplicity, too, that prevents it from ever 
shooting loose. That is absolutely impossible in a 
Smith Gun. The longer you shoot a Smith Gun the 
tighter it gets—it is self-adjusting. Our handsome, 
new lithographed Catalogue explains this more in de¬ 
tail. Ask your dealer for it, orwrite us direct—Way. 
That Catalogue will also tell you all about the 
very latest Hammerless Smith Gun — the 20 - 
Gauge HunterOne-Trigge >. The Hunter One-Trigger 
attachment is the greatest improvement in gun¬ 
making for more than half a century. The new 
20 -Gauge is just the finest gun that can be made 
at the price. Simply all gun and no frills. Weighs 
only 5 } to 7 lbs. As a well-informed sportsman 
you ought to know about it.

THE PLEASURES OF FLY-FISHING. 
Continued from page 740. 
drowned by the very elements he had so long- 
sported in, mouth wide open and gasping, the 
white-miller fast at the corner of his mouth in 
the upper jaw. Slipping the net under him I 
scooped him without even wetting my feet. I 
killed him with my knife and at once started 
for the house. 
“Well, Grandpa Norton, what do you think of 
this?” 
“Well, well, well, is that the fish that gave you 
a ducking yesterday? He’s a handsome fellow; 
weighs over two pounds; the biggest trout I 
ever saw come from that creek. Caught with 
the fly, too. You may well feel proud of him.” 
I was proud of him. 
In one of the feeders of the Manistee River 
I was dropping flies for grayling. Once in a 
while I would find enough standing room to use 
a short bethabara wood rod, and by skillful 
manipulations spring my fly under the bushes 
overhanging the stream where the current ran, 
using some very small English flies, all of 
them black or dark brown, so minute that when 
they touched the water I could not see them, 
but the grayling did. If I could find a place 
where the sun’s rays came through the foliage 
and sent an orange ray athwart' the stream, 
there I could find grayling. By getting up stream 
above this spot I could drop a fly across the 
light ray; instantly a grayling arose. I could 
see them rise, and waiting to strike them by a 
sharp spring of my rod, I drew them to me 
without alarming the balance of the fish in the 
pool. 
I had a red tag, a strange looking fly with a 
fuzzy red tail. In one spot I think L caught all 
the fish there were in that one pool—six of them. 
In a large open pool where I could see grayling 
I did not raise a single fin. They would not 
even deign to come up and look at it, but did 
take a bumble bee. 
In August of late years, when business does 
not press, we sometimes spend a day on a Lake 
Superior stream within a few miles of Duluth. 
Here the conditions are different. Water is 
wine-colored, free from clay or mud; the trout 
are wild and vicious, snap at any and everything 
—salt pork, grubs, larvae, worms—even a big 
bass spoon skittered across a p'ool will raise 
them by the dozen. Climbing the hills and strik¬ 
ing the stream miles away from the mouth we 
have found pools that seemed alive with trout, 
but the big boulders made such splendid hiding 
places you had to find the trout. I have stood 
in the water thigh deep and cast all around me, 
when my friends declared no trout were in the 
pool, until a yellow-may or a grasshopper would 
bring up a trout from under their rods when 
they were fishing with worms. After finding 
the trout they could catch them with worms. 
They would outnumber me every time, but the 
pound weight trout came to my fly. After heavy 
rains I have stood at the mouth of a stream and 
cast into a rush of waters. I could see no trout, 
but thought some ought to be there. Casting 
out I found my line and flies going lakeward. 
The Seth-Green and leadwing coachman are 
taking flies with fresh-run trout. Try them 
miles up stream and trout scarcely look at them. 
Put on big fuzzy hackles and you will get trout 
in any water and in any kind of weather.

The Angler’s Workshop 
RODMAKING FOR BEGINNERS 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A unique work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and the experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his 
own ideas of what "they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information 
gathered by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in 
fishing, tournament casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates 
.not at all. He tells "the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way 
that makes results certain. All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; 
to tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament 
fly-rods. Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter 
on split bamboo rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever 
published. Indispensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $i.

Camp-Fires of the Wilderness. 
By E. W. Burt. Cloth. Illustrated. 221 pages. Price, 
91.25. 
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 b« a joy. 
“Camp-Fires of the Wilderness” ic 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.
