doh’t forget the LOHG DISTAMCE TELEPHONE ROYAL WILD TURKEY •HOW THE TRUE SPORTSMAN HUNTS THIS NOBLE GAME. ■Glorious Sport Seeking: Him In His Wild Mountain Glades —His Flesh Far Superior to His Domestic Brother—Old Gobblers >Are Very Knowing Birds. Taking him “by and large,” an old ‘turkey gobbler is the quickest, swiftest, •shiest and most knowing animal with wings ■or without. He can run like a greyhound, smell like a deer, see like an eagle and fly like a wild turkey. You may have spent two hours in •crawling on your hands and knees over ra mountain open or in moving ypth noiseless footsteps, each one of which is considered with careful deliberation, and a single, sudden turn of your head, snap of a twig or gleam of sunshine on four gun will send a whole gang a mile away and up the mountain. Upward it i always is. When a wild turkey does I not like the looks of things, he wants the rockiest and roughest summit of tthe particularly highest headland of the topmost ridge of a whole range, and he .generally gets it. If it is steep, he runs, and he can run up faster than you can fall down. If it is a gentle rise, he thrashes the air with his mighty wings clear up obstructing tree tops, and then ■away he sails with a velocity that belongs •to a 20 pound feathered cannon ball. Take a dog along, if you will, and when the gang is busy feeding your cur may surprise them so quickly as to make a flush. Off they will fly, scatter ing in every direction, no two birds to gether. If it is afternoon, they will want to get together for the night, and in a few hours you hear far off a plain tive qu-urck, qu-urck, qu-urck, qu-urck, qu-urck, qu-urck—seven notes, the last three coming shorter and sharper. Now, if you are one of the rare individuals who can make and manipulate a turkey call, take from your pocket the well f Just a ' Little Pain. The first touch of Rheumatism Is a ! fair warning of much torture to follow. The little pains which dart through the 'body are not so severe at first, possibly a mere pang, and cause little inconven ience, but if the warning is unheeded, ■ they will multiply rapidly and increase in severity until they become almost unbearable. Rheumatism as a rule is much severer in winter, though many are so afflicted with it that they are crippled all the year round. Those who felt its first touch last year, may be sure that with •the first season of cold or disagreeable weather, the mild pain of last year will return as a severe one, and become more • and more intense until the disease has them completely in its grasp. Being a disease of the blood of the most obstinate type, Rheumatism can be cured only by a real blood remedy. No liniments or ointments can possibly « reach the disease. Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) is the only cure for Rheuma tism, because it is theonly blood remedy that goes down to the very bottom of all obstinate blood troubles, and cures cases Which other remedies cannot reach. * - Capt. O. E. Hughes, the popular rail 'toad man of Columbia, S. C., says: I “At first I paid very little attention to the little pains, but they became so much sharper and more frequent that before long I was almost disabled. The ■disease a'tacked my muscles, which , would swell to many times their natural size, and give me the most intense pain, . “I was ready to doubt that Rheuma tism could be cured, when I was advised to try S. S. S. This remedy seemed to get right at the cause of the disease, and soon cured me completely. I believe that S. S. S. is the only cure for Rheu matism, for I have had no upturn of the disease for eight years. ” The mere rial and potash remedies, which the doctors always prescribe foi Rheumatism, only aggravate the trouble, and cause a stiffness in the joints ano aching of the bones which add so much tc the distress of the disease, besides serious ly affecting the digestive Organs. S.S.S. (Swift’s Specific) is the only cure foi Rheumatism because it is absolutely free from potash, mercury or other minerals. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed Purely Vegetable •nd never fails to cure Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, Cancer, Eczema, or any other 'blood disease, no matter how obstinate.

You will probably be conscious that it is answered and have some delicious sensations. Nay, it may even come nearer and lead you to mad ly strain your eye nerves trying to see through entirely opaque underbrush But unless those turkeys are very young and foolish or are hens this will be all. An old gobbler will have thought it all out long before he steps within range and silently fly away, leaving you to wonder why the answer doesn’t keep on coming. The thoroughbred and glorious way to kill a turkey is to go out alone in the mountains with your winchester and a half dozen cartridges and just look for the noble old fellow. Not that just looking will do. To make much of a success you must listen for him, feel for him, taste for him and smell for him, too, and above everything else wait for him. Get into just the wildest and most se cluded glade you can climb to, where the only harvesters of the chestnuts and hickory nuts are the squirrels, where the tea berries, huckleberries and wild grapes grow only for the pheasants and turkeys, where the wildcat screams at night, the fox pounces on the rabbit, the black bear hunts for bee trees and the big horned owl is the villain in many nocturnal tragedies. Keep in the underbrush, but look out into every open glade. Take note of what there is for a turkey to eat and see if the dry leaves are scratched up. Walk about a mile an hour and don’t put your foot down unless you know what kind of a noise it is going to make, i Don’t be sure it is a squirrel you hear scampering over the leaves until you see him or hear his chatter. See every thing that your eyes can take in and keep them looking steadily on points in distant leaf colored slopes until they see many things that did not appear at first. Stop sometimes and don’t move anything but your eyeballs for five full, silent minutes. Never make any sudden move, consider whether the last night’s frost has fallen on this area of ruffled and torn up leaves, where plainly strong toes have been laying there the rich, dark earth or the sweet remains of the chestnut crop. When you decide that the scratching has been done this morning, see where it began and remember what ground lies in the direction to which it tends. Then follow, moving more slowly and carefully. Come to a steep mountain side, sheering to the sycamore fringed river. Do not dare to go directly down. Sidle quickly off on a better grade and then-, having circled over a swift, breath less half mile, work back to where the trail should meet the river meadow. Take care. Drop at full length, a little cautious because of the haste. There they are, strutting forth from the un dergrowth by the stream after washing down the chestnut breakfast with cold, • clear mountain water. They come up : the hill toward you, and you lie like ' a stricken man, with your rifle follow ing every movement of a great black gobbler, father of the flock, though he is still 300 yards away. Motherly, mild mannered hens and young gobblers are in his train, sipping dewdrops from the grass, picking at ragweed, chasing a grasshopper with half open wings or ruffling into make believe combats. But never for a mo ment are all off their guard. One, two or three of their tall necks are always stretched aloft, full of eyes and ears, in 1 statuesque suspicion. Now the old gob- j bier straightens up his head, poised four feet from the ground, trim, graceful, powerful, the sun glinting on the dark iridescent feathers of his back and low er neck. Now you decide he is in range. Your 38 caliber bullet strikes his noble breast with a muffled thump, and the giant wings wildly beat down the dry ragweed, while your magazine is emp tied vainly at the dark forms shooting off toward the wooded mountain side. He is a royal creature, this wild tur key, and you may hope to see an old gobbler tip the scales at 20 or 25 pounds.—Washington Star.

The Old Hunter and the Grizzly’s Cour age—Kicked Out of Camp. [Special Correspondence.] San Bernardino, Cal., Nov-. 17. “A grizzly will turn tail and run every time he has a chance,” said an old hunter to me the other day. We had been up in the Sierras, and I, in my foolhardiness, wanted to meet and. pot a grizzly, but old Ephraim was wary, and I brought my skin back to town without any unnecessary holes in.it. I shouldn’t have run any risk, my old friend said, unless I had met the grizzly face to face, or cornered him in a par ticularly tight place. I was rather in credulous, though, and’to prove what he said he related several tales of his own experience. “My first grizzly,” he said, “I saw in the upper end of Wawona meadows, when I first went to live there, some 40 years ago. He was feeding well out in the field, and I couldn’t get nearer than about 100 yards from him, so I rested my old rifle over a fallen log and let drive. Well, sir, old Eph just stood up on his hind legs and pawed the air like a circus horse, and then, still on his hind legs, he started straight for the tree behind which I lay. I was ram ming in a bullet as fast as possible, but at the rate he was coming he was likely to catch me before I could get loaded, and you’d better believe my hair stood up a little. But when he was within two or three rods of me, he toppled over like a big pine tree felled by the ax and died without a struggle. I “No, me and my mate killed nearly 90 grizzlies between us—that is, he BRINGING HOME THE DEER. killed about 80 and I killed the rest, and neither of us ever got a scratch. Why, when I was mining over near to Mariposa along back in the fifties there was a couple of miners there shoved a grizzly out of their hut, and he never did a thing to ’em. It seems there was an old jack donkey in the camp who used to browse around regardless night and day when off duty, and one night, ; hearing something knocking about their ■ shanty, one of the miners said to his ' mate, who was in the lower bunk, ‘Say, Sam, get up and kick that blasted jack out, will you?’ The other fellow was about half asleep, but he turned out, ■ felt something soft and hairy in the darkness, which he took for the jack’s , rump, and so he gave him several good kicks in the spot where they would do the most good. The jack didn’t say nothing, and Sam slammed the door after him and turned in again. But when they found grizzly tracks all . about next morning as big as an ele ' phant’s foot you’d better believe they I did some thinking.” Grizzlies, my friend tells me, have become scarcer and the blacks and cin namons correspondingly numerous all through the Sierras. All the big game, such as the elk, mountain sheep, deer and antelope are harder to find—in fact, less abundant—than they were a few years ago. Cultivation and sheep raising have been as harmful to the game, big and little, as the most persistent hunt ing. Even the ducks and geese do not congregate in the numbers of former years, and the valley and mountain quail are getting comparatively scarce. 1 say comparatively because they are still here in great flocks. A word of caution to the hunter in the hills and over the brown fields of this portion of the state: Keep an eye open for rattlers and foxtails! The for mer are not often seen, but they are numerous, nevertheless; the latter are j everywhere, and yield the spiny spurs which cover the ground and which stick to you closer than any sort of brother you ever had. They soon lame your dogs, irritate the horses and work their way through the stoutest shoes. Being barbed, like the spine of the prickly pear, they work their way into flesh and clothing and are difficult to extract. Fred A. Ober. Household Gods.
