FOREST AND STREAM. 



243 



Explanatory and Suggestive. 



FOR TIE CASUAL READER. 



Arma virumque ratio— "Arms and the man I sing." And, indeed, it would take the genius 

 of a Virgil and the roll of Laiin liexa meters fitly to tell the deeds of this man, whose arms are 

 shotgun and fishing rod. Go where you will, he is there. You ruu into him on the crowded city 

 street, encounter him on cars and steamboats; he perches atop the couutry stage, bestrides the 

 burro, and doubles up like a jacknife in the kanim. Seek out the most distant, most tortuous 

 streams, his line has been wet in their waters; penetrate into the wilderness, the tin can of the 

 sportsman's camp is yet further on. He goes for game — if the fates shall send anything within 

 reach of his ammunition; for fish — if by good fortune a trout shall rise to his fly or descend to 

 his worm. But, good luck or bad luck, game or no game, fish or no fish— fun always, fresh air, 

 ozone, quicker pulse beat, brighter eye, more elastic step, all the multitudinous rewards, which, 

 after all, outweigh the biggest "bags," and tip up the longest "strings." Is it not true that only 

 a poet could tell his deeds as they ought to be told? Perhaps so. Perhaps not. He can usually 

 tell ihem himself. And he does, with a thousand different pens, in a thousand different ways. 



You may read it in the Forest and Stream. 



And that is better than if it were put into verse between hook covers. 



One who does not understand these things might imagine that after being told so often, this 

 story of the man — him with the rod and gun — might in the end become hackneyed. But it 

 is not so. Why ? Well for pietty much the same reason, we venture to say, that the fields them- 

 selves and the woods and the lakes and the streams never become hackneyed. However that 

 may be, one thing is certain. Our columns every week, and month after month, give ample 

 proof that there is still an abundance to tell of what is seen and what is done afield and on 

 angling waters; and that hosts of people still delight to read the telling, our subscription books 

 show with ever increasing emphasis. The Forest and Stream is in the best sense 



A Journal of Recreation. 



It tells of the recreation found by busy men, in out-door, open-air life. It is recreation to 



Ihise same meu and lo others. Explain it how you will, this recreation found in the pages of the 



fjEST and Stream is different from the diversion afforded by other papers. Why? Because 



^lay be answered again) the recreations of field and stream are always ten times more potent 



**iod than are those found in almost any other way. 



^ook through the pages and you will see that the departments include a pretty large field. 

 It is a wide scope of subjects. But if you look carefully you will see that the paper, from front 

 cover to back cover is homogeneous. What is in it belongs in it. Theie is not the mistake of 

 trying to foist upon the reader, who is interested in angling and shooting, a lot of stuff about 

 horse racing or base ball or prize fights. There is no sawdust-ring odor. Everything is redolent 

 of the woods. There are plenty of other papers devoted to the other subjects. If you are 

 interested in them, you need hardly spend time to read the rest of this explanatory advertisement. 

 The Forest and Stream's field is broad, but it is not broad enough to take in all creation. 

 The editors are x>erfectly contented with the scope of the paper as it is at present 



In a word — this is what we started oa' to say — in 1885 the Forest And STREAM will be 

 newsy, bright, wholesome— a journal of out-door recreation.
