OF your new f6cLeRllO1s LIE rHIisSL
remembers With great pleasure his
first experience. Broken in health,
with fears OF permanently shattered
constitution. be was induced by a
friend to spend few weeks In field
and forest in pursuit OF quails and
ruffed grouse. He did not get fst on
the game he killed, for in two week
only two birds had fallen before him,
and he has strong suspicious that one
of them was killed by his friend. The
writer vas no doubt unusually dull in
learning but he perseVered. During
these two weeks he tramped over the
rough bills in search Of the cunning
quail, and through thick forests where
too sufied grouse swept away from
him like sHiftly flying shadow. All
the while he was filing his lungs
with pure air, and living ia the clear
country sunshine, aud catching the
breath of the early frost When
night came it found him hangry as y
hunter, and after plain. but hearty
dinner, as sleepy as year old baby.
And such sleep! no dreams, no rest
less tossiDg, no counting the ticks OF
the clock, no Wishing for morning.
It was sleep from the moment the
head and the pillow touched, true.
recreative sleep. Three weeks of
that eort of recreation found MIN
weighing twenty pounds more and
rejoicing in digestion like that OF d
full grown ostrich. SRch is true re-
creation, for it brings q natural appe-
tite, healthy digestion. and best OF
all, it furnishes an abundance of
strengthening sleep. In the pursuit
OF such recreation a man is exp sed
to sunlight and air. and it may be- to
rain, and be needs the influence OF
them all.
But beyond this, you may carry
your cares with you when you travel.
You will be sure TO consider your pro-
;essional trials and your business per-
plexities at watering place. But,
with your gun at half.cock, and your
dog all excitement over his close ap-
proach to game, care takes wings,
and trials and perplexities fly further
and faster than the birds you flush By
your tootstep. No man can hunt that
noblest OF all game birds the ruffed
grouse, and keep his mind on busi-
ness at the same time. The business
