IF YOU ARE GOING 

 SHOOTING or FISHING 



THE BEST CAME COUNTRY in the 



Mississippi Valley.to-day is 



along this Line in 



MISSOURI, ARKANSAS AND LOUISIANA. 



SMALL CAME is very abundant 

 and has been shot at very little. DEER 

 and TURKEY are plentiful and the f ish- 

 ing for black bass and other game fishes 

 of" the very best. THIS LINE also 

 reaches direct from ST. LOUIS or 

 MEMPHIS, by double daily through 

 car service, the famous Hunting and 

 fishing grounds of Texas and the Gulf.

Those counterfeit sportsmen who can- 

 not pass fur, feather or fin, be it chip- 

 munk, robin or squaw fish, without raising 

 their hands to kill ought to emigrate. In 

 Australia, where rabbits, hares, foxes, 

 weazels and even sharks have become so 

 numerous as to menace the welfare of the 

 community, men are constantly employed 

 to keep down the pests. In my time stand- 

 ing rewards, amounting to about $180,000, 

 were offered by the various colonies to 

 any one who could devise a safe cure for 

 the rabbit pest. At our station rabbits 

 were so numerous we paid $60 a month 

 and board to our trappers. I therefore 

 srggest that all game hogs go to Australia 

 and grow rich on their crimes. They can 

 shoot until their gun barrels are too hot 

 to hold. There is, however, another way 

 to get rid of them which seems feasible. 

 Let them be rounded up and shot — 

 through the stomach, for they have no 

 heart nor brains.

Ticket 



A railway ticket purchased 

 to-day should carry with it a 

 promise of something more than 

 the right to a trip over the line 

 represented therein. 



It should assure : 



As great a degree of safety as 

 modern methods in train opera- 

 tion and improved equipment 

 have made possible. 



Comfort, through a careful 

 regard as to the character of its 

 trains, roadway, track adjust- 

 ment, car cleanliness, heat, 

 light and sanitation. 



Modern conveniences; punct- 

 uality in time of trains; reliable 

 connections. 



These conditions the Lake 

 Shore & Michigan Southern Ry. 

 endeavors to fill to the fullest 

 possible extent. Its large and 

 increasing patronage, and its 

 regular use by experienced 

 travelers bear witness of appre- 

 ciation. 



It is unequalled for travel 

 between Chicago, Cleveland, 

 Buffalo, New York and Boston. 



"Book of Trains'' tells about 

 it; sent free anywhere.
