With this Backing, which is most easily applied and removed ordinary glass 

 plates are made perfect. It prevents that white fog around light objects, 

 renders perspective truthfully, lends atmosphere and removes all restrictions 

 as to source or«intensity of light. With Backed Plates you can take Nature 

 as you find her, truthfully and artistically. 



The latest and best article for filling in holes in the negative, as no spot will 

 show on the print. Also for touching up all black and white prints. Two 

 shades of medium to match any tint. Anyone can use it, and improve negatives 

 and prints amazingly. Spot your negatives before printing, or before sending 

 them to be printed, for best results.

2 WILD CATS IN ONE DAY. 



I started early with my 40-65 for a deer 

 hunt. When within about a mile of the 

 hunting ground I saw a wild cat skulking 

 along an old road. It was not yet light 

 enough for a sure aim so I let him go. 

 After walking about 3 miles farther I 

 saw another wild cat running up the side 

 of a bluff. I waited until he got within 

 about 100 yards and fired. The shot hit 

 him in the right foreleg near the body. 

 The second shot landed higher. He turned 

 and made a leap intending to reach his 

 cave in the rocks but failed to connect and 

 fell backward. He started up again, and, 

 believing this my last chance, I fired once 

 more, this time catching him back of the 

 shoulder. I took my game to a spring 

 near by, skinned him, and in due time 

 collected the bounty on his scalp.

A yearly subscription to Recreation is 

 one of the most practicable and usefu\ 

 presents you could possibly give a man or 

 a boy who is interested in nature study, 

 fishing, hunting, or amateur photography. 



All boys instinctively love the woods. 

 Recreation teaches them to love and to 

 study the birds and the animals to be 

 found there. If you would have your son, 

 your brother, your husband, or your sweet- 

 heart interested in nature let him read 

 Recreation. It costs only $1 a year, and 

 would make him happy 12 times a year. 



A SERMON. 



W. B. LEONARD. 



A chipmunk preached to me today; 



His text was, "Happy be." 

 I listened long, with interest deep, 



Beneath his pulpit tree. 



His discourse made me feel anew, 



That life was full of joy; 

 It brought to mind the happy hours 



I passed when but a boy. 



He promised that the words he taught 



Would surely bring content, 

 To all who mingled much with him, 



If they were pleasure bent. 



He said, "Your heart will ne'er grow old. 



No other laws you'll need, 

 If you but worship at my church, 



And understand my creed." 



I will send by registered mail, post paid, 

 50 5x7 views printed on either Vinco, 

 Solio or Velox paper, and mounted in a 

 Buechner album, for $8. These views are 

 of live and dead game, mountain scenery, 

 lakes, waterfalls, fishing scenes and park 

 views. A sample print will be sent for 15 

 cents in stamps. 



S. N. Leek, Jackson, Wyo. 



I have copies of these pictures and they 

 are worth to any sportsman 5 times the 

 price Mr. Leek charges. — Editor.
