AMERICAN 
GAME BIRDS 
Water Birds — Game Birds 
— Upland and Shore Birds 
— In Colors 
By CHESTER A. REED 
Is a book written especially for sports- 
men as a concise guide to the identifica- 
tion of water birds, game upland and 
shore birds. 
One hundred and sixty species of birds 
are faithfully depicted by the colored 
pictures, and the text gives considerable 
idea of their habits and tells where they 
are to be found at different seasons of 
the year. 
These illustrations are reproduced from water-color painting by the author, whose 
books on birds and flowers have had the largest sale of any ever published in this 
country. They are made by the best known process by one of the very first 
engraving houses in the country and the whole typography is such as is rarely 
seen in any book. 
The cover is a very attractive and unique one, with set-in pictures.

industry for nine straight hours we fin- 
ished him, after a fashion. 
In the middle of the night we stopped 
long enough to broil some grizzly cub 
steaks and open up a can of beans. We 
literally hacked the hide off that brute, 
and to decapitate him, dissect out his 
feet, shave off and clean his leg bones 
was a Herculean task. 
At last another day came. We gath- 
ered our trophies together and staggered 
somehow to a trail; packed our camp 
stuff, hired a machine to get us out of 
Yellowstone, and sallied forth dripping 
with salt brine and bear grease, dead for 
sleep. We were weary almost to intoxica- 
tion, but the possessors of the two finest 
bears in Wyoming. 
We left our hides with a ranger to 
flesh and re-salt, and so the day ended. 
Now, as I write this on the train 
speeding back to California, it all seems 
very tame and sweet, but as the cigar- 
ette ads. say: “It satisfies.” 
As for the gun, we forgot all about it, 
until the time we shipped it back to 
Frost. Not a shot fired!

We have the extremely gratifying feel- 
ing that we have killed five of the finest 
grizzly bear in Wyoming, — killed them 
fair and clean with the bow and arrow.

food. The gills were carefully removed 
and cracker dust, which had been pre- 
pared by rolling crackers on a board, 
sprinkled very liberally over the crab. 
“Never under any circumstance cook a 
crab that has died before being dressed, 
as it, in some manner, frequently gen- 
erates a poisonous gas in a very short 
while after dying, and many cases of 
serious illness, and even death, have been 
caused through lack of such precaution,” 
said Mr. Adams. 
Mr. Woodhull had a good fire going 
and prepared a liberal supply of smok- 
ing hot lard in a frying pan into which 
the crabs were laid. Matt had an ob- 
servant eye for the whole proceeding, 
and as they were laid out smoking hot 
and golden brown on the plate, he said: 
“I do’n know if I’ll like ’em or not; they 
look jest like crackin’ big spiders.” “If 
it was a brave man who first negotiated 
a raw oyster, then he who first betook 
of a fried soft crab was a hero,” re- 
marked Mr. Woodhull. 
“Now don’t hurt the feelings of your 
cook,” said Mr. Adams with a laugh. 
Sprinkling one liberally with salt and 
adding a dash of mustard, he laid it on 
the boy’s plate, saying: “After you’ve 
eaten one there won’t be enough in the 
bay to keep you supplied.” Matt broke 
off one of the legs and tasted of it rather 
gingerly, neither of the men making any 
comment as he continued eating until the 
crab had entirely disappeared, then he 
passed his plate for another one, simply 
remarking: “They’re jest bully.”? After
