FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Feb. 4, 1905. 
FOR. WINTER READING. 
N 
OW the days are short and the evenings are long. Often the weather is too rough to venture out and there is 
abundant opportunity for reading. The shooting season has closed, and the fishing season is yet far off. What 
then remains for one who loves outdoor life except to revisit in memory the joyous scenes of the past, or to anticipate 
the happy days of the future. If one is fond of outdoor life, there is nothing that will help him to do either of these 
things so well as a good book. . 1 • 1 • j j 
Of good books the FOREST AND STREAM has published a great many, some of which are mentioned and 
partially described in the list given below, while many are told of in the illustrated catalogue which will be sent without 
charge to anyone who may apply for it. . . . . 1 j r j 
A good book is something that does not wear out. It gives pleasure the first time it is read, and for years afterward 
remains a satisfaction to the original purchaser, and a comfort to others who may read it. 
The works on shooting, fishing, camping, and wild life in our book list are all of the best. 
By Rowland E. Robin-

Men I Have Fislied Witli. 
By Fred Mather. 372 pages; 8 portraits Price, $2 00 
A series of delightful character sketches. Mr. Mather

ing characters, and possessed in an unusual degree the

whom he came in contact in his anglmg experiences. 
My Angling Friends. 
A Second Series of Men I Have Fished With. By Fred 
Mather. Cloth. 369 pages, with 13 illustrations. 
Price, 12.00. , . . , c . 
The second book has all the characteristics of the nrst— 
the same insight into human nature, the experience-taught 
philosophy of life, the kindly humor, and the touch that 
stirs to deeper feeling and moistens the eye. The interest 
is sustained throughout, and there is here, too, a quality 
which has been often remarked of Mr. Mather s writings, 
his faculty of imparting a vast fund of instruction in 
natural history and the art of angling without being the 
least pedantic or assuming to put himself up as an 
angling instructor-

Price, $1.25. . , tt , t • v. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Usha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsnian s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh- 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
"to swap lies." This is the first volume in the Danvis 
series; here we are first made acquainted with Uncle 
Lisha Peggs, Sam Lovel, Huldah Purington, Antwine, 
Gran'tner Hill, and the rest of Mr. Robinson s inimitable 
group. The "Shop" should be read first, for it is the key 
to the other books, in which the same characters appear. 
The rest of the series in order is as follows:

With Notes on the Origin, Customs and Character of the 
Pawnee People. By George Bird Grinnell. Cloth. 
417 pages. Illustrated. Price, $1.75. 
Like most Indian tribes. Pawnees are story-tellers. They 
have a va»t fund of folk-tales and traditions, which nave 
been handed down from father to son, and transmitted 
from generation to generation. Years ago, when the 
tribe lived in Nebraska, the author of the present volume 
camped and hunted with them, and joined in their village 
life. The nights were given up to story-telling, and 
many of the tales told in the lodge, and by the flickering 
camp-fire, were carefully translated and written down- 
When ptiblished, they excited great interest

American Duck Shooting. 
By George Bird Grinnell. Cloth. 630 pages. With 58 
portraits of North American Swans, Geese and DuckSr 
Plans of Boats and Batteries. Fifty Vignettes m the 
text and a Chart of the topography of a duck s 
plumage. Price, $3.50. 
Though a number of books have been vvritten on the 
fascinating sport of wildfowl shooting, this is the first 
one to present the subject in anything l^ke adequate form. 
One of the most interesting and valuable features of 
the volume is its natural history. In plain, untechnical 
language, a description is given of every species of swan, 
goose and duck found in North America, together with a 
brief account of its life history. With the description is 
given a careful portrait of each species drawn by Mr. 
Edwin Sheppard, so well known as the illustrator of 
many important ornithological works. Thus the volume 
serves as an illustrated book of reference for the duck 
shooter, by means of which he may identify the fowl 
which he secures on his shooting trips.

Samoa *Uma. 
Where Life is Different. By Llewella Pierce Churchill. 
Price, $1.50. Edition de Luxe, $2.50. 
Under the title "Samoa *Uma" ("All Samoa") Mrs. 
Churchill has written this book, for which she gathered! 
the material during her residence at Apia. Into the chap- 
ters she has put a vast fund of interesting information! 
which is absolutely new, and which a writer less sym- 
pathetic and less fully trusted, could not have gathered.. 
She has given us a picture of the real Samoa — of the 
Samoans as they really are. The book is well balanced. 
There is just enough history of Samoa to give an under- 
standing of the events which brought a portion of the 
island under the flag of the United States, and just 
enough of description to make an appropriate and enec- 
tive stage setting for the stories. The book moves: 
throughout, and leads one on from page to page. It isi 
handsomely illustrated. Price, $1.50. 
Limited Edition de Luxe, 500 copies, signed by the 
author on specially made deckle-edged paper. Price, $2.60.

page half-tones from photographs by the author. Sent

who is fond of the water and who has some little lean- 
ing toward the use of tools. Mr. Stephens's volume is 
simple, but interesting, leading the amateur boat builder
