By George Bird Grinned. A splendid collection of 
tales and folklore collected by the author during a resi¬ 
dence with the tribe, when the nights were given up to 
story telling. Many of the tales are of thrilling interest, 
and in addition to this, the author’s observations on the 
Pawnees, their history, life, characteristics and progress 
are of more than passing interest. Cloth, illustrated, 417

waving feathery cocoa palms, its ships peacefully 
at anchor, and the old worn-out fort calling up 
memories of Anson and the Manilla galleon, and 
other glorious romances of the past. On the 
further side is the far expanse of the Pacific, 
glittering in the rays of the setting sun, one dark 
patch on the horizon being just recognizable as 
a collier, trying to fetch the port against a light 
baffling wind. The coast stretches away to the 
North, spread out at our feet like a map, and be¬ 
fore us is the lagoon for which we are bound. 
Between the lagoon and the sea stretches a 
grand piece of Savannah, about one mile broad 
by eight in length, and covered with long wav¬ 
ing grass without a single tree. The lagoon 
looks quite close, but it is a good five miles away; 
and such a five miles, too! it would be hard to 
beat that road for badness in any part of the 
world. 
In places, the sides of the road are over¬ 
grown with a beautiful species of maidenhair 
fern; here a bright coral snake glides across the 
path, while all around a constant rustle among 
the dead leaves is kept up by innumerable liz¬ 
ards and iguanas. 
Every now and then we pass parties of 
peasants bringing in limes, fruit, and vegetables, 
who all give us a civil “Adios, senor,” or “Buenos 
Tardes.” There is no one more polite than the 
Mexican of any class. At length we break into a 
trot, and soon hear the barking of dogs and 
crowing of cocks in the village of Coyuca. We 
have taken just two hours over the ride, which 
is very good time, and reflects well upon our 
mules. 
As there is nearly an hour's daylight, we put 
our guns together and with half a dozen cart¬ 
ridges apiece in our pockets we stroll down to 
the lagoon. There is not a sign of a duck about, 
but we put up a flight of ruffed plover, quick on 
the wing, and much resembling snipe in their 
flight. At first we do not fire for fear of dis¬ 
turbing any possible ducks, but presently we fol¬ 
low them up and with a couple of shots apiece, 
we bag three birds, returning to the village just 
as darkness sets in. Ramerez has turned the 
mules into the corral, where they are enjoying 
a good feed of secate, the rich bunch grass used 
for fodder in these parts. 
We have now leisure to examine our quar¬ 
ters, which consist of a lofty thatched shed, the 
only furniture of which is a wooden trestle, used 
as a resting place for saddles, and harness post, 
with projecting peg for securing the hammock^ 
a rough deal table, on which our supper is dis¬ 
played, and a couple of chairs. At one end is 
the kitchen, a light structure of reeds, through 
the spaces in which the fire sends out a ruddy 
glow, and all the simple details of Mexican cook¬ 
ery may be observed in process. At the back of 
our shed is a solidly built adobe hut containing 
one room, quite open and undivided, which our 
host, his wife, and several children occupy to¬ 
gether. 
Supper does not take long, as it is principally 
composed of eggs and cocoa, one might do much 
worse; since the eggs are of the freshest. After 
supper our canoeist for the morrow is introduced, 
and he proves to be my friend Vincente, who 
had given me the information as to the arrival 
of the ducks before mentioned. Presently the 
light given by our one dim candle begins to fail, 
so rolling ourselves up in our rugs we turn into 
our hammocks. Contrary to expectation, I soon 
am fast asleep; but it is not for very long. A 
curious swaying motion gradually mixes itself up 
with my dreams, and I open my eyes to find that 
the whole barn-like structure is reeling about in 
a most curious way. An earthquake is upon us! 
and as we heard on our return to Acapulco, 
rather a severe one. However, just as things 
are becoming interesting, the tremor ceases, and 
we are again at liberty to go to sleep. 
But there is little chance of doing so now;

GAME PROTECTION AND 
PROPAGATION in AMERICA 
By HENRY CHASE 
Mr. Chase, whose writings on game protection and conservation are well 
known, and who has devoted practically a lifetime in study and labor for 
this cause, has here prepared a work of unquestionable value to all in¬ 
terested in the subject. It is an authoritative treatise and presents the 
united opinions of the ablest advocates and what has universally been ad¬ 
mitted to be the correct theory. It is a complete vade-mecum on the subject.

T. A. Palmer, assistant chief, Biological Survey, United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture, Washington, D. C., writes : 
“We are exceedingly busy preparing to organize our warden service under the 
Migratory Bird Law. You will probably be interested to know that we expect to 
place in the hands of each of the twelve inspectors, in charge of districts, a copy of 
your new book on American Game Protection.” 
John A. Scholtz, Game Warden of the State of Wisconsin, writes : 
“ ‘ Game Protection and Propagation in America’ contains much valuable infor¬ 
mation with regard to the enforcement of laws and having proper laws enacted. 
Oftentimes we receive inquiries to suggest books which contain just such information 
as this book contains, and hereafter when such inquiries are received we shall refer 
them to this book.”
