cult department It is not TO be forgotten

9Th difference in attainments between
father and son Is In a measure a reflex OF
their differences in tenn oerament. To be
able to shoot grouse call, for something
like instructive precision. The birds are
driven by beaters and freq rently fly down
the wind at more than the speed OF an ex-
press train. The sportsman must have q
quick eye. unerring judgment and the most
~unwavering decision.
THE genuine deer stalker, on the other
hand. must a within him tie qualities OF
a born statesman. There must be the
most calculating judgment. the finest self
control under quivering excitement, and
above all the ability to take advantage OF
every opportunity as 10 arises.
