Advice to Sportsmen.
When Id doubt treat your guide llko

start even In making up tho grub
stake; It flatters him and you muy
lenrn something.
rinn the next day's program with
him, and remember that he Is curry,
lug the canoe and not you, and that It
Is hard work In warm weather.
If any habit needs correction, do It
as near tho start as possible, but In a
tactful, frank way.
Don't wait until your guide has
turned In and Is rnpldly moving Into
ilrenmlund before asking him to go
down to tho spring for water.
- Don't ask your guide to break the
game and fisheries laws, or encouruge
hint to take a wee drnpple too much
hentherdew. .
Make a chum of him and you will
be rewarded.
