automobile, camp, home and estate. They 
have no equals as water-dogs, retrievers 
and hunters. They will climb a tree or 
go to earth and fight anything from a rat 
to a bear. They are ideal dogs for farm

TRAINING THE HUNTING DOG. By B. 
Waters. This book is claimed by many dis- 
tinguished owners of hunting dogs to be the 
most practical volume ever put together for the 
complete training of dogs for the field and 
hunting. Mr. Waters is the author of several 
most successful dog books ever published, and 
does not need any introduction to the old-time 
Forest and Stream readers. $3.00 to any ad- 
dress in United States or Canada.

their horns rattled as they knocked to- 
gether as the herd parted and pushed 
away on either side, letting me pass. 
“In only a short time I was running 
close to a yellow calf. It ran very fast 
and for a little while I could not over- 
take it, but then it seemed to go slower 
and my horse drew up close to it. I 
shot an arrow and missed it and then 
another and did not miss; the arrow 
went deep into it just before the short 
ribs and a moment afterward I could 
see blood coming from the calf’s mouth, 
and I ran on to get another. I did kill 
another and then stopped and got 
down.” 
His uncle had told the boy that if he 
wished to kill big buffalo he must not 
be afraid of them but must ride his 
horse close up to the animal and let fly 
his arrow with all his force. 
“When the surround was made my 
uncle and I were soon among the buf- 
falo. I was riding my uncle’s fast 
buffalo horse. My uncle rode on my 
right hand and when we charged down 
and got among the buffalo we soon 
passed the bulls and then drew slowly 
up on the cows and those youngeY ani- 
mals whose horns were yet straight. I 
thought we were going to pass on 
through these and kill calves, but sud- 
denly my uncle crowded his horse up 
close to me and pointing to a young 
bull signed to me to shoot it. I did not 
want to, but my uncle kept crowding 
his horse more and more on me and 
pushing me close to the bull. I was 
afraid of it; I thought that perhaps 
it would turn its head toward me and 
frighten my horse and my horse could 
not get away because of my uncle’s 
horse and then my horse and perhaps 
I myself would be killed; but there was 
not much time to think about it. I felt 
that I was not strong enough to kill a 
buffalo; I did not want to try; but all 
the time my uncle was signing to me 
‘Shoot, shoot.’ There was no way for 
me to escape and I drew the arrow and 
shot into the buffalo. The point hit 
the animal between the ribs and went in 
deep, yet not to the feathers. When I 
shot, my uncle sheered off, and I fol- 
lowed him; and in a moment looking 
hack I saw that the blood was coming 
from the bull’s nose and mouth. Then 
I knew that I had killed it. In a few 
moments it fell and I went back to it. 
Then truly I thought that I had done 
something great and I felt glad that I 
had killed a big buffalo. I forgot that 
a little while before I had been fright- 
ened and had wanted to get away with- 
out shooting. I forgot that except for 
my uncle I should not have made this 
lucky shot. I felt as if I had done 
something and something that was very 
smart and great. You see, I was only 
a boy.” 
The book is actually a contribution 
to the sociology of the American Indian 
- — an account of the education of young 
people in those long past days. 
A true story told by- an Indian in an 
Indian’s simple fashion, it gives an ef- 
fect of complete reality and, at the 
s^me time, the volume is full of the 
romance of the old West and of adven- 
tures now forgotten, or existing only in 
old-time histories.
