BRISTLY BUFFALOES 



The photo reproduced herewith is that of 

 Dr. William Preiss and Mr. A. C. Bidwell, 

 Buffalo hunters, and a day's bag of black 

 squirrels from Canadian woods. Over 50 



squirrels are now exceedingly rare any- 

 where on this continent ; yet 2 men who 

 would undoubtedly claim to be sportsmen, 

 and one of them a physician, go out and kill 



squirrels fell to their guns in 10 hours, 

 close to the great game preserves in West- 

 ern Ontario. 



This is another pathetic and disgusting 

 case of the slaughter of squirrels. Black 



50 of these beautiful and innocent animals 

 in one day. These men should be ashamed 

 of themselves and I trust we may soon 

 have laws in all the States that will prevent 

 such reckless butchers from gratifying their 

 bloodthirsty tastes. — Editor. 



Mr. Von Blumer: What sort of a host- 

 ess does Mrs. Caterby make? 



Von Blumer: Splendid. She made me 

 feel as if I wasn't at home. — Life.
