DIVERSION AND CONSERVATION. 
(Continued from page 478.) 
ciently developed to understand and remember 
what had been told him. But the same kind of 
excuse could hardly be offered, in reason, for 
grown men with average intelligence, for destroy¬ 
ing the beauties of nature just to satisfy a greedy 
craze. All men have more or less the animal in¬ 
stinct for acquiring, some vastly more and others 
less. Many seem to have the instinct for slaugh¬ 
ter which is found among savage races. Hence it 
might not be a bad plan for the safety of the 
remnants of game still left to compel each pros¬ 
pective nimrod to pass an examination by a com¬ 
petent examiner as to the characteristics of his 
nature, and when one is found to be, as ’twas 
said of David, “a man of blood,” the privileges of 
hunting should be withheld from such a one. 
’Twas said of Esau that he was a mighty hun¬ 
ter; but he hunted to supply his decrepit old fa¬ 
ther with the juicy venison which he enjoyed so 
much. His twin brother proved to be a mighty 
man for acquiring, and his progeny and tribe 
have ever followed faithfully in his footsteps. 
When human selfishness shall have been elimi¬ 
nated—which it will never be until the great 
millenium arrives before the world is depopulated, 
because of greed and vain glory and unworthi¬ 
ness of the great blessings bestowed—there may 
be a good prospect for having the good old Dame 
Nature’s domains again supplied with abundant 
herds and flocks of beasts and birds, when they 
may possibly become appreciated as the friendly 
subjects to man, meant to make his life happy. 
Then he may enjoy the popular camera fad, which 
prevails now when there is not much to focus on. 
Who knows but that such may be the day spoken 
of in the Scripture “When the lion and the lamb 
will lie down together”? But that dear old hu¬ 
morist, Josh Billings, said that he would bet on 
the lion. 
Sir Andrew Ague-Cheek, in Shakespeare’s 
“Twelfth Night,” said that he rather thought that 
life consisted of eating and drinking; and by 
way of proving his thought Sir Toby Belch filled j 
him with good punch to the point of making a 
further ass of himself in a drunken carousal. 
’Tis a most lamentable fact that so many men 
fail apparently to know when to say “Enough,” 
either in eating, drinking or shooting. They 
themselves suffer most in the two former prac¬ 
tices, but in the latter the forests and fields are 
being depopulated. 
Take one of these chaps on a camp hunt for 
two or three days, and by the time he has proven 
what manner of man he is by reaching for the 
largest piece of bacon and wanting the best place 
to bunk, then trying to head off some other man’s 
run-way to get a shot, the rest of the party are 
pretty nearly disgusted with him. Yet such have 
existed. Maybe they do not exist now. 
An article was published in a sporting maga¬ 
zine a month or two since in which the question 
was asked, “What is a true sportsman?” In a 
few words that question might he answered thus: 
A true sportsman is one who has an innate love 
for nature, and shoots her birds and beasts in 
moderation for the love of the sport, and is ever 
ready to protect them from the ruthless slaugh¬ 
ter practiced by those who have no conception of 
the word “sport,” but are actuated only by a 
greedy desire to fill game bags or wheelbarrows 
and their pockets with coin as a business incident 
to the killing.
