It is a good plan to bar pump and auto- 

 matic guns, but it would be better to begin 

 farther back and bar the bird dog, too. If 

 hunters had to find and flush their own 

 game, birds could never be exterminated. 

 If, as some maintain, sport is found in 

 hunting rather than in killing, then the 

 bird dog is as unsportsmanlike an adjunct 

 as a quail net or a grouse snare. Put the 

 dog out of business and game will take 

 care of itself, no matter what guns are 

 used.

"Don't be too anxious to get a husband," 

 said the wise matron. "Don't go around 

 hunting for one." 



"Think I should sit down and wait for 

 one, eh?" replied the maiden. 



"Yes, for you'll sit up and wait for one 

 often enough after you've got him." — Phila- 

 delphia Public Ledger. 



"Do you think that a young man ought 

 to go into politics?" 



"No," answered Bronco Bob. "There's 

 nothin' in it. I went .to a political conven- 

 tion onct. All they did was to holler and 

 wave their hands. There wasn't a shot 

 fired." — Washington Star. 



"Why," asked the teacher, "did Nebu- 

 chadnezzar eat grass?" 



After a silence the small boy from^ Chi- 

 cago made answer : "Maybe there was a 

 beef strike in Babylon." — Washington Star.

 used by the U. S. Navy. They are simple, wonderful. A thoroughly 

 patented article. Beware of imitations. Made only by ourselves. A cat- 

 alog of 100 engravings and 400 testimonials sent on receipt of 6 cents. 



Bottom Boards rest on the frame, not on the canvas, ribbed longitu- 

 dinally and diagonally. They are stiff er and safer than a Wooden Boat 

 because the lines are fuller, and are much easier to row or paddle.
