A eUrpR's DINNER.
Have you fishcd or hunted during the
morning hours, and are you tired and
getting hungry Then cast yourself down
upon some sunny and messy knoll and
watch your guide prepar. your dinner.
Did you ever do thisf II not, then more
than half OF the delightful experience OF .
sportsman has been lost.
He has taken along his bucketfull OF
good things he has learned that you
liked. He has his kit OF cooking utensils,
the frying pan, the broiler, the coffee pot,
and W bile tho fire is gaining Roadway, has
prepared those speckled trout, and while
the pork 10 sizzling in the pan, he lays
them side by side upon some dry bark or
wood to dry on. You will notice that he
removes the pork, and while the fat 10
hot, gently lays the trout into the pan,
puts the coffee a-steeping, and potatoes
boiling, or II be has found your fancy so
chooses, he slices them instead, and gives
you delicious French fry.
He has taken from his canoe q folding
table, arranges it where you can sit COM
fortably to II, when he bids you come.
You are awake now, for who can sleep
when the very air you breath is rich with
the aroma OF frying trout and delicious
coffecs II he knows his business, and
most OF them do, you will have q dinner
that will make you forget where you hail
from, or where you are going to.
Have you eaten your hlls II so, you
will wonder where on earth you have pu,
away all those slices OF fish, pork, pota-
toes and bread, and before night, mind
you, will be still further wondering how
you have digcsted all this abundance OF
food.
After dinner, do you smoke, and did
ever pipe or cigar give such relish!
Have you looked about you? II so, you
| will find that this guide has selected the
camp dining place where sunlight and
beauty vie with each other to charm the
inner soul. Perhaps you did not think
that this man OF the woods, sunburned
and rough OF dress, possessed that artist
talent OF seeing the beauty Of things that
be did not, when selecting this ground for
you to rest and eat, think how much you
might enjoy its surroundings.
There IL the old ''logging camp" used
last winter by the lumbermen, picturesque
in its style and unique in its construction,
and il you are so minded. and look care
fully about its surroundings, you will see
the opening flowers, the violets, OF
different hue and color and large variety
of different and charming little blossoms
which nature has provided for the COM
fort and pleasure of him who sees things,
and will hear the sweet melody OF song
birds, happy In the freedom OF the wilder
ness.
Perhaps he has hung up that large trout
you had such q battle with, and was SO
lucky as to land, or may have photo
graphed you with 1t, where the sunlight
giistens its side with its golden beauties.
How the great wide world throbs with its
cares, beyond this restful solitude, you
care not, for you are at peace with your
self and all mankind.
How shsll all these glories and COM
forts, the game and fish OF Maine be pre-
servedr
There is but one way to do it, and that
is to preserve the forests and the lakes,
and the game in the forests and the fish in
the waters.
The State should should see that the
proper protection by law should control
so far as possible the great wilderness and
the abundant water supply in our rivers
and lakes.
That the carrying OF firearms into the
woods in close time for hunting Of game

The work of the commissioners of
