sagging due northward with it's re-

Again there was few hours sleep
and We hit the trail before midnight.
The weather and going were even
better. The surface, except as inter-
rupted by infreQuent ridges, was as
level as the glacial fringe from Hec-

death, almost instantly, at Summit

were working with the inventor. Just
before dusk he climbed one of the
large trees on the lawn to attach a
cable of the machine to one of the
higher branches. In the gathering

Even the children can be taken

age, and the experience is one that
will be of inestimable value.
In the matter of selecting likely
place for good moose or deer hunt
ing, there is almost as wide a range
as if one wanted to go In quest of
elephants or lions in Africa. A very
large part of the State of Maine, with
it's 5000, 900 acres of forest land and
it's $500 lakes and streams, afford
good hunting" of every kind to be
found in this corner Of America
Not only has modern lie in the
woods reached the acme of comfort,
with oftentimes little bit of gen
uine luxury thrown in, but the wilder
ness itself has been made accessible
to degree that would have seemed
improbable 80 or 40 years ago. Rail
roads are now run through the very
heart of the moose and deer country,
dropping the city sportsman at sta
lions that are but the vestibules of
the happy hunting grounds New
tote-roads and trails radiate every
where, the water highways swarm
with canoes, comfortable camps are
found on nearly every shore.

1t is SO easy. indeed, and yet so
"real," that it has become the ac-
cepted custom for the sportsman to
take along the feminine members of
his family, after the unselfish fashion
of the true American. Hundreds Of
women go into the Maine woods now
adays, for big game hunting as well as
for fishing, and some of the finest
prizes fall to their aim. Nothing will
so quickly and effectually eliminate a
bad case of nerves, in man or wom-
an. as few weeks in the woods, es-
pecially under the bracing climate.
Those who have been brought up
in the woods claim to possess the gift
of prophecy as to the character OF the
coming hunting season. Last year
was one of the best on record, and
the 1909 season gives every promise
of being even better One reason for
this belief is found in the fact that
this year has brought an unusually
large crop of beechnuts.
