An eastern sportsman's magazine may truthfully remark: Human 

 nature is frail enough, and we are many of us likely to think first of 

 what it is that we want, rather than what other people may wish. 

 We are disposed to push others out of the way and to elbow ourselves 

 to the front. The true sportsman will try to think of others as well 

 as of himself; he will have sufficient self-control to be willing to go 

 out of his way a little to be civil to his neighbors, and he is likely to 

 ask permission of the owner when he desires to shoot or fish on a 

 stranger's land. He knows that he is receiving a favor, and his self- 

 respect demands that he acknowledge this, if the opportunity occurs. 

 There will be no conflict between sportsman and land owner if each 

 treats the other as he himself would wish to be treated.
