Good Hunting 



"When the Man With the Gun Takes the Field." 



"The game is not the only tiling that suffers when the man witli the 

 gun takes the field. Men, too, are numbered among the victims," re- 

 marks the editor ot a sporting magazine. 



Statistics are given every year, but evidently that does not lessen 

 the evil. Xot till the hunter can be persuaded to make absolutely sure 

 that the object he is firing at is not a human being, will men cease to go 

 down before the sporting rifle. The chances the man with the gun 

 will take or rather, make the other fellow take, are something aston- 

 ishing. A few years ago the papers recorded how a man was shot even 

 for a rabbit! The hunter sighted the brown cap of a man sitting in the 

 tall grass. I le saw it move, and he "let 'im have it." 



Here is another instance recorded by the papers: A hunter let fly 

 with a load of buckshot at six men passing along a road at twilight. 

 Four of the men went down together! 



Let every "man with the gun" make a double bound, copper 

 riveted, indestructable resolution that he will hold his lire till he is 

 absolutely sure it is game he is shooting at. It may cost him sometimes 

 the chance to kill game, but what is that compared to eliminating the 

 chances of woundin or killin his fellowmen.
