THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN SPORTSMEN. 



407 



persons guilty of violations of fish and game 

 laws in any state. League members who 

 .are willing to put up copies of this poster, 

 should write this office for as many copies 

 as they can use to advantage. If these pos- 

 ters were well displayed throughout the en- 

 tire United States, they would prevent thou- 

 sands of cases of law breaking which are 

 now being perpetrated every day. 



I am doing all I can to help the L. A. S. 

 Stopped a number of persons who were 

 hunting before the open season. Arrested 

 2 fellows for shooting robins. One. had 

 16; the other, 13. Both were fined $1 for 

 each bird in their possession. 



G. B. Bliss, Stamford, Conn. 



Good! You deserve a gold medal. When 

 we get a League warden like you in each 

 county of the United States the game will 

 begin to increase. — Editor. 



The New York Division of the L. A. S. 

 will hold a summer encampment at Child- 

 wold park, in the Adirondacks, in the latter 

 part of June, the exact date to be announced 

 later. New York members are requested 

 to plan their vacation trips in such a way 

 as to include this meeting, if possible. 



I am particularly interested in your cru- 

 sade against the game hog. He is anything 



but a rara avis at present, but I feel con- 

 vinced you are fast making a " dodo " of 

 him. I enclose $1 for membership fee in 

 the L. A. S. 



Geo. L. Carnegie, Fernandina, Fla. 



I hand you herewith $1 for the James L. 

 Tooker fund. I have read this case care- 

 fully, and am satisfied the shooting was 

 justifiable. Mr. Tooker should have the 

 support and sympathy of every honest man. 



H. M. Beck, 



15 Northampton St., Wilkesbarre, Pa. 



Will every member work industriously — 

 at least from now until January 1st — to in- 

 crease the membership to the highest pos- 

 sible limit? It is still growing and the 

 total footing is now 1,667. Let us reach 

 the 2,000 mark as soon as possible. If all 

 will help we shall be there by June 1st. 



In making remittances to this office, 

 please use New York draft, or money or- 

 der. Checks on out of town banks cost me 

 10 cents each to collect. 



Do you ever camp out? If so, why sleep 

 on the cold, hard ground? Why not take 

 with you a pneumatic rubber mattress? 

 You can get one for 25 subscriptions to 

 Recreation. 



WOMAN: A STUDY. 



NIXON WATERMAN, IN L. A. W. BULLETIN. 



Woman, woman, winsome woman ! 



Tell us are you saint or human. 

 Or a toy Beelzebub has sent us from afar? 



We've thought about you, sighed about you, 



Fought about you, cried about you, 

 Stayed up nights and lied about you, puzzle that you are. 



Just when we would dream we've got you 



Figured out, as like as not you 

 Leave us topsy-turvy, guessing what to say or do ; 



Now we hate you, then caress you, 



Now berate you, then we bless you. 

 But our lives are stale unless you keep us in a stew. 



Some there are who really dread you, 



Some who long to woo and wed you. 

 Some would banish you forever to a distant land ; 



Artists paint you, poets verse you, 



Bishops saint you, cynics curse you, 

 But " for better or for worse " you still are in demand. 



There are times you sadly vex us, 



Puzzle, plague us and perplex us. 

 Till we w T ish you were in — Texas, very far away; 



But. although we sadly doubt you. 



You've such winsome ways about you 

 We can never do without you, so we let you stay.
