or eighteen inches in diameter. Just 
how the strips, K and A, are used in 
attaching the handle to the hoop is evi- 
dent for four rivets or small bolts are 
used as shown. 
The funnel-shape netting shown at 
No. 4, is made from an old tennis net 
or some other kind of cord netting. 
It should be twenty-four inches deep 
and the larger end the same diameter 
as that of the hoop. With needle and 
thread sew up the netting along D, to 
make it the shape desired and use heavy 
thread to bind the net to the hoop. 
Thus you will have a handy landing net 
for your next fishing trip.

A YOUNG DIANA OF 
THE PRAIRIE 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 200) 
sportsman’s heart by bestowing un- 
stinted praise upon old Flora. 
This young girl was a natural shot 
and got on to her birds in faultless style 
and I have no doubt that with a gun 
that suited her, a little practice would 
have made her a match for the best of 
them. My gun was too long in the stock 
and too heavy for her, but she handled 
it with amazing grace that only a natu- 
ral shot can command. 
More than thirty years later I first 
saw Annie Oakley at the traps. When 
she gracefully turned to face the flying 
target and deftly brought the gun to 
her shoulder such a flood of pleasant 
remembrances came to me that I was 
oblivious to all else. Here was the 
glorified personification of my Diana of 
the wild western prairies. 
Once again the gentle breeze fanned 
my brow as I stood by her side eagerly 
watching the wondrous changes of her 
expressive countenance as with graceful 
turn she brought the gun to bear upon 
the swiftly flying bird. Once again the 
broad expanse of the billowy prairie was 
before me in all its lovely wildness and 
as blissful memories of the many happy 
days enjoyed in roaming over these hap- 
py hunting grounds came to me I was 
a boy again. 
I SHALL never forget my “last look” 
at Mary. I had accepted an invita- 
tion from her father to take a turn at 
the ducks that resorted to a small pond 
a short distance from his home. This 
little sheet of water was very gamy- 
looking, about half a mile long and from 
thirty to forty yards in width, with a 
dense thicket of low-growing bushes 
upon each side. 
The plan of the campaign was for one 
to take position at each end and shoot 
only at birds that came from the oppo- 
site end, as this would drop them upon 
hard ground, making it much better re- 
trieving than if they fell in the water. 
When we arrived at the pond my com- 
Why— 
“One-Piece?” 
B ecause the collar 
button made of a 
single piece of metal 
wears longer. It is bet- 
ter value than the button 
with separate base that 
may wear and fall off.
