George w. Vanderbilt's vast 100000
acre estate in North Carolina, into the
Kenilworth and Pisgah Forest, Fish
ing and Shooting Association this great
game preserve becomes the exclusive
domain of one of the most noted and
fashionable sportsmans clubs in the
country. In extent it will rival the
famous Jekyl Island sportsmen's club.
When the preserve is thrown open
for the hunter and fisherman early in
the year practically a virgin field will
be traversed by the devotees of the
rod and gun, for Mr.. Vanderbilt has
not allowed any hunting or fishing
ON these grounds for the last eight or
ten years. Uniformed rangers have

mountain region is fairer than this So
called Land of the Sky" with its for

where game and fish have been pre-
served for many years. Through the
woodlands the famous picturesque
French Broad river winds its course,
yerges at angles with Homipy Creek.
Into these streams and tributaries Mr.
Vanderbilt has placed more than 2OO,-
600 rainbow trout from his hateheries
every season. Sixteen HUNDRED miles Of
trout streams have been well stocked
with fish and now await the angler.
A portion of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains gives a picturesque touch to this
West Carolina domain. Mount Pisgah,
which reaches an altitude of nearly g.
600 feet in the azure sky of the South
land. is the highest peak in the Bit

valleys. streams and forest, is located
the private hunting lodge of Mr.. Van
derbilt. This he will retain for a nunt-
ing camp. -
II has been the plan of Mr.. Van
derbilt to gradually develop the re-
sources of his $4,000 acres of virgin
forest and in this he has been ably
assisted by his chief forester, DR.. Carl
A. Schenck, forester to the Biltmore
estate. DIR. Schenck will conduct his
forestry operations undisturbed by the
rights and privileges of the Biltmore
Hunting Club. Under his direction
over 1000 miles of trails have been
built to facilitate fire protection, ex-

Teaching a Dog to Read.

The intelligence of animals seems,
as a rule, to be underrated rather
than overrated. A dog breeder de-
scribed a wonderful collie that had
belonged to Sir John Lubbock.
"This dog" he said, would when it
was hungry lay at it's masters feet a
card marked food When it was
thirsty it would fetch card marked
drink When it wanted to take a
walk it would bring a card marked
out
"Sir John Lubbock trained it to
do this trick in less than a month.
He put the food card over the dogs
food and made it bring the card to
him before he would allow it to eat,
and in the matter of drinking and
going out he used like method.
The cards were similar in shape and
color, but the writing on them differ
ed. Since, therefore, the dog dis
tinguished them by the writing alone
it may truly be said that the animal
could read"
