THE GAME BREEDER 



OUTINGS AND INNINGS 



Don't Give Up 



There's only one method of meetin' 



life's test; 

 Jes' keep on a-strivin' an' hope fur the 



best; 

 Don't give up the ship an' retire in 



dismay 

 ■'Cause hammers are thrown when 



you'd like a bouquet. 

 This world would be tiresome, we'd all 



get the blues, 

 If all the folks in it held just the same 



views ; 



So finish your work, show the best of 



your skill. 

 Some people won't like it, but other 



folks will. 



If you're leadin' an army, or buildtn' 

 a fence, 



Do the most that you kin with your 

 own common-sense. 



One small word of praise in this jour- 

 ney of tears 



Outweighs in the balance 'gainst cart- 

 loads of sneers. 



The plants that we're passin' as com- 

 monplace weeds 



Oft prove to be jes' what some sufferer 

 needs. 



So keep on a-goin' ; don't stay standin' 

 still 



Some people won't like you, but other 

 folks will. 



— Philander Johnson, in "The 



Washington Star." 



Preparation 



"Are you still taking a cold plunge 

 every morning?" 



"No, I quit doing that to save time." 

 "Why, a cold plunge doesn't take 

 more than a minute or two." 



"I know, but I used to spend three- 

 quarters of an hour curled up in bed 

 hesitating." — -Harpers, 



Home Truths 



An editor in a Kansas town was 

 showing a former resident, who had 

 returned for a visit, round the place. 



"Huh," said the former resident, 

 "time was when I could have bought 

 this hull blamed townsite for two hun- 

 dred dollars, but I didn't think it was 

 worth it." 



"It wouldn't have been if you had 

 bought it," replied the editor. 



A Hunting Incident 



A city hunter, rigged out in a cor- 

 duroy suit, double-peaked cap, leggings, 

 and other picturesque paraphernalia, en- 

 gaged a small country boy as guide. 



The two were greatly astonished when 

 a rabbit jumped out from behind a log, 

 looked about, and dropped over as if 

 dead. 



"There isn't a mark on it !" exclaimed 

 the sportsman. 



"No," replied the boy. "I guess he 

 must have laughed himself to death." 

 —Judge. 



LITERATURE 



Some Big Game Hunts. By A. H. Cor- 

 dier, M.D., Professor of Surgery, Uni- 

 versity Medical College, ex-President 

 Mississippi Valley Medical Associa- 

 tion. Illustrated with photographs 



Dr. Cordier has written a very good 

 t)0ok which will prove to be especially 

 interesting to the big game hunters. 



The excursions after big game cover 

 a vast amount of territory from New 

 Brunswick, where the author shot moose 

 and deer, to Western Kansas, where the 

 swift- footed antelope was the quary, and 



to Colorado and other regions for bear. 

 British Columbia furnished the moun- 

 tain sheep and goats, and an arrest by 

 a game warden, and Alaska was the 

 scene of some exciting adventures. A 

 chapter is given to hunting the javelina, 

 along the Rio Grande, in Texas. The 

 first deer was killed in Kentucky. Truly 

 the author has traveled widely in pursuit 

 of game, and he tells about his experi- 

 ences in an entertaining way. 



The illustrations are well reproduced 

 and many of them are excellent. On 

 another page in the magazine is one of 

 the doctor's stories.
