While You Wait.

Greenville, Me.-Mr. Cityhunter will
be trooping in due season in scores to
the Maine woods with his bulky, new
and shining impedimenta and we'll
stuffed pocket book. If the former
will not encompass the destruction Of
Of a moose or two deer, the latter will
be unerring in its aim. OF course, the
great majority of hunters who come
to Maine for the big-game shooting
are not satisfied unless they do their
own killing, but there are others who
come after a moose or the two deer
allowed by the Maine law, and they
don't care much how they get them.
Many so-called hunters get no fur
Their north than this little village,
which, at the foot Of the great Moose
head lake, is the gateway Of q vast
hunting region. They find others who
are equally indisposed to venture out
Of reach of the comfortable hotels,
daily papers with the sporting news
and stock reports and other marks Of
civilization to be found here. They
see game" enough, but 1t has to do
with pasteboard affairs and is pursued
in q comfortable corner not far from
the great open fire in the hotel Office.
They may buy souvenir cards in
great variety to send to friends de-
plotting thrilling scenes in the Maine
Jungle; homemade ones Of birch bark
may be had from the stock Of the
several souvenir stores and are said
to be more effective and convincing.
A most original enterprise, born Of
the demand by this class of fireside
hunters, is the place where Hunting
Scenes While You Wait" would be an
appropriate sign, II any sign was
needed. It is a Photographic studio,
conducted by an enterprising firm Of
young men whose specially is pro-
viding convincing proofs. A city hunt
er may go home with his allowance Of
game and fail to impress upon his
friends the fact that 1t fell before his
fatal rife, but when he produces pho
tographs showing himself in forest
defile standing over the yet Quivering
monarch of the forest and others Of
camp scenes with much game hung
up. our hero surrounded by pictur-
esQue glades and looking the part Of
q real hunter-such are convincing
proofs.
The studio referred to is an inter
esting place located near the lake
shore Just outside the village, and has
been there for a number of years. 1t
started in a small way, but is now
deliberately equipped. It is an odd
affair, built Of logs, like a hunting
camp, but having each Of its four
sides got up to show different front.
Thus, when a customer appears he
Is asked, automatically, Of course.

was detained" etc. II he says Camp
Comfort" q well-known resort, the
side Of the studio which most resem-
bles Camp Comfort is selected and in
q few minutes q sign Is produced and
hung over the door reading Camp
Comfort" This makes the background.
Then the properties are arranged. &C

Stuffed moose, deer, bear and game
birds galore are carried in the equip
ment Of the studio.
These may be hung up by the heels in

is lacking any essential part Of the
regulation outfit, the studio will sup
ply IT, II he wants sporting compan-
ions to appear the studio people call
