the wayside. Whipper, assist the wearied hound 

 — leave none behind : and should a cur-dog of any 

 degree attack any of your charge, why, up whip, 

 pitch into him, and cut his liver and lights out. 



1 6. Huntsman, when you arrive at the kennel, 

 ascertain that the meat be somewhat warm and 

 comfortable. Some are for cold meat ; I say 

 warm : then a good bed of clean, sweet straw in 

 a snue lodofinsf room, the warmer the better ; then 

 they will be like fighting-cocks the next hunting 

 day, all ready and eager for action. 



17: Go out in the morning with a sunny coun- 

 tenance. Whilst out keep your temper — rather a 

 difficult matter sometimes. Never quit until the 

 hounds do. Go home : dine : enjoy your life : do 

 not get drunk — then you will be as fresh as roses 

 next morning, and not as seedy as old cucumbers. 



No comment is needed, the paper is an education 

 in itself. 



Part of an Intelligence Officer's duty is to furnish 

 his Chief with information regarding the climatic 

 conditions and the seasons of the country in which 

 they are campaigning, for the weather influences 

 operations in the Real Thing as it does in the 

 " himage." 



A hunting man naturally taps the barometer, and 

 observes and speculates on the weather indications, 

 so here, again, is education. 



A soldier on active service keeps a diary, and our 

 youth should do so while on the present campaign.
