 exercise, however warm or stormy the weather. This little 

 device can be readily attached or detached without injury to 

 the lenses, thus in a second giving you the choice of either 

 spectacle or eyeglass. Just the thing for outdoor sports. 

 The Temple Attachment will fit any of your eyeglasses and 

 can be carried in the same case with them.

TEACH CHILDREN TO BE GENTLE. 



For some time I have been wondering 

 if it were possible for me to continue read- 

 ing your magazine without giving vent to 

 my own thoughts concerning game hogs. 

 Although a woman, I am a lover of all 

 game and can thoroughly enjoy myself on 

 a hunting or fishing expedition, not by 

 killing game, but by admiring and helping 

 to carry it home. I have had much ex- 

 perience in dressing game, and no man 

 can dress rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, 

 woodchucks or birds better than I can. 



In looking over your pictures of game 

 hogs I have tried to imagine what their 

 home life would be and if their wives, 

 mothers or sweethearts approve of their 

 needless and i :eless slaughter. If not, 

 what a life a sensitive woman must en- 

 dure; for if a man be a hog in a case 

 where an inner sense of honor should 

 govern him, he will be a greater one in his 

 own home where he thinks no other man 

 has aught to say. In many cases women are 

 to blame, for they close their eyes to the 

 early tendencies of their children toward 

 brutality, and in many cases cultivate the 

 habits that in after years cause them heart- 

 aches. I have seen mothers give a puppy 

 or a kitten to a baby to be tortured, and if 

 the poor animal made its escape they would 

 box its ears and give it again into the 

 tiny savage's hands. Such teachings har- 

 den children, and as they grow older they 

 torture smaller children, taking delight in 

 the pain they inflict. Boys with air guns 

 should be taught to regard life as some- 

 thing produced by a higher power than 

 man, and never to take life unnecessarily. 

 If they are allowed to take the life of any 

 animal they choose, without being rebuked, 

 they will think nothing of taking the life of 

 a human being when animals have become 

 small game. Few parents realize that each 

 day of the present is but a part of the 

 foundation on which children will build 

 their lives. If you can but arouse the finer 

 instinct in women, bringing into life the 

 sympathy, love and protection for the help- 

 less which every woman should have, you 

 will have made great headway toward pro- 

 tection of Jfrme. When a woman makes 

 up her mind to use her influence on a man, 

 be it for good or ill, that same man is more 

 helpless than game in the localities infested 

 by game hogs.
