The Horton Manufacturing Company, Bristol, Conn., 
las invented and patented a locking reel-band, which 
Vill fill a long-felt want. Many fishermen will appreciate 
| good device of this kind, as there have been many 
ttempts to supply the demand for such an article. This 
| 
| 
|, the manufacturers say, the most simple and easily 
| 
| 
| 
perated device of the kind ever invented. The reel- 
jand is formed with a spiral recess on inner surface, 
thich engages with the lugs raised on under side of reel 
eat. The device is self-adjusting, will fit and hold 
ecurely any reel that can be used with the standard three- 
uarter-inch reel-seat. The locking reel-band can be fur- 
jished with any Bristol or Rainbow rod, except when 
| atent finger hook is used, fora slight additional charge.

| IT WAS HIS DOG. 
, An automobile dashed along - country road, 
‘urning a curve it came suddenly upon a man 
vith a gun on his shoulder and a weak, sick 
ooking old dog beside him. The dog was di- 
Jectly “in the path of the motor car. The 
hauffeur boanaea his horn, but the dog did not 
nove—until he was struck. After that he did 
‘ot move. 
The automobile stopped, and one of the men 

‘ot out and came forward. He had once paid | 
farmer $10 for killing a calf that belonged to 
nother f farmer. This time he was wary. 
“Was that your dog?” 
: Mess: 
“You own him?” 
mViesi" 
“Looks as if we'd killed him.” 
“Certainly looks so.” 
“Very valuable dog?” 
“Well, not so very. 
Aiden $5 satisfy you?” 
‘ai: 
“WW ell, then, here you are.” He handed a five- 
lollar bill to the man with the gun, and added 
leasantly, “I’m sorry to have broken up your 
unt.” 
“I wasn’t going hunting,” replied the other, 
s he pocketed the bill. 
“Not going hunting? Then what were you 
iloing with the dog and the gun?” 
“Going down to the woods to shoot the dog.
