into his element. This time he takes another 
course, and turns your boat round like a top 
with the strength of his determined “get-away.” 
His course and his tactics change with light¬ 
ning-like rapidity, leaping and diving off and 
away, and then toward the boat, leaping in the 
air perhaps several times before, by tact and 
persistency you draw him near enough for the 
boatman to scoop him up in the basket net— 
and the battle is over. 
How long? 
It is on record of salmon who fought a three- 
hour battle. Usually from five to fifteen 
minutes. Sometimes you catch a chump even 
among salmon, who can be pulled in as easily 
as a sucker. 
How large? 
A11 experienced angler doesn't need and never 
uses scales. He can tell within a pound the 
“pull” that is on his line. It is a mistake to 
suppose that the size of a salmon measures its 
gaminess. There may be more “fun” in a ten- 
pounder than in one which will weigh forty 
pounds. 
How many? 
Perhaps your boat will bring in twenty fish 
from a morning’s cruise. Sometimes none at 
all. 
But the duration of the battle, the size and 
number of the vanquished, are only details to 
the true sportsman. 
Fishing boats are ordinarily out from five to 
six hours. With best of luck there are many 
dull moments, and with the worst of luck there^ 
is the whole time to be whiled away. 
Recompense for this can be found in the 
scenery of sea and shore, in watching the flight 
of the sea birds, and in listening to the tales 
your boatman can tell. These narratives will 
often yield both amusement and information. 
The bay views, from the lighthouse point to 
off Aptos, are incomparably finer than the land¬ 
scape from the shore. No one can really ap¬ 
preciate the Sea Beach Hotel, or the Casino, 
who has not had this view from the bay, and 
there is no land view of the canons of the 
Soquel and Aptos, comparable to that obtained 
from a boat a mile out.—Santa Cruz (Cal.) Surf. 
GAME LAW PENALTIES. 
A Galeton justice of the peace has just fined 
a man $25 for hunting on Sunday. The offender 
was an alien who, under the law, at any time, 
has no right to be in possession of a gun, but 
in order to teach the fellow a lesson the mini¬ 
mum fine for but one of the offenses of which 
he was guilty, was imposed. The mercy of the 
Galeton justice, says the Williamsport (Pa.) 
Sun, is commendable. It is the greed of some 
magistrates for maximum penalties and accrued 
costs that helps make for the unpopularity of 
the game law existing in some quarters, where¬ 
as it is the intent of the law that such penalty 
only as is necessary for the maintenance of a 
wholesome respect for it be insisted upon. The 
first and only aim in enforcing the game laws 
should be to teach offenders a lesson, and 
through them to establish an effective example 
upon others who may not know or respect the 
law, and not to enrich justices of the peace and 
aldermen with the limit in fines and costs. 
"The Present S Waited” 
That is what he will say if you select a Duxbak 
hunting garment. No other Christmas present could 
give him more pleasure. 
The shooting season is on! Guns, ammunition, 
dogs, hunting grounds—all will be critically chosen. But 
hunting coat, vest, trousers or hat may be overlooked. 
Health and comfort recommend Duxbak garments. 
Duxbak is the only cravenetted sportsmen’s clothing 
—hence rain-proof—the only kind that defies every 
whim of the weather man. The fabric is strong, 
close-woven, yet pliable and soft.

The Famous 
The Lamp with Diffused Light 
should always be used where several 
people sit, because it does not strain the 
eyes of those sitting far from it. 
The Rayo Lamp is constructed to give 
the maximum diffused white light. Every 
detail that increases its light-giving value 
has been included. 
The Rayo is a low-priced lamp. You may 
pay $5, $10 or even $20 for other lamps and get 
a more expensive container—but you cannot get 
a better light than the Rayo gives. 
This season’s Rayo has a new and strength¬ 
ened burner. A strong, durable shade-holder 
keeps the shade on firm and true. Easy to keep 
polished, as it is made of solid brass, finished 
in nickel.

“Well, Bill,” said Dawson, as he met Hol¬ 
loway on the avenue, “did you get any good 
hunting up in Maine?” 
“Fine,” said Holloway. 
“How did that new dog Wilkins gave you 
work?” asked Dawson. 
“Splendid,” said Holloway. “Fact is, if it 
hadn’t been for him we wouldn’t have had any 
hunting at all. He ran away at the first shot, 
and we spent four days looking for him.”—
