The Game Book 
STANDARD BIG GAME MEASUREMENTS 
Every man wants to compare his trophy with those of other big-game hunters. 
But comparisons are useless unless there is a fixed standard. 
The game book of the Boone and Crockett Club, the foremost organization of 
hunters of American big-game supplies this. Compiled by J. H. Kidder, it provides 
directions for standard measurements of the large game animals of America, with 
spaces carefully arranged for complete data regarding the kill, locality, time, con¬ 
ditions, etc. 
It is handsomely and durably bound pocket size. It is an invaluable record 
for every man who goes into the wild for sport with the rifle, a handy book, a 
camp companion, and a library reminder of days afield. Leather.

Nursing vs. Dosing 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”), Author of “Train¬ 
ing vs. Breaking.” 1G1 pages. Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs are sick. The author has given special at¬ 
tention to many of the troubles which especially afflict 
small dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from 
lack of exercise and from over-feeding; and boys and 
girls owning dogs—as well as children of larger growth 
—may profitably study and ponder this volume.

PROTECTING THE GAME. 
Although there is a growing agitation all 
over the country in favor of better protection 
of the game birds and animals, it has come so 
late that our forests and fields have been, to a 
large extent, utterly stripped of the game that 
once abounded. Still there is a chance that, by 
proper protection of the wild life that still re¬ 
mains, some of our once great store of game 
may be preserved, and there may be even some 
betterment of the supply. Even here in Louisi¬ 
ana, although game is still plentiful by com¬ 
parison with other States, there is a woeful de¬ 
crease in the supply. Laws enacted in recent 
years have checked the destruction, but these 
statutes are still not stringent enough to meet 
the requirements of the situation. 
It has become evident, however, that if the 
supply of migrating game is to be preserved 
there must be co-operation among the States 
and some sort of uniformity in the game laws. 
It will be of little advantage for Louisiana to 
strictly enforce her laws for the preservation 
of wild ducks and geese, as well as other mi¬ 
gratory birds, if similar restrictions are not in 
force along the lines of migration. How to in¬ 
sure uniformity and co-operation among the 
States is a rather difficult task, but it is being 
attempted in other matters, as, for instance, in 
the matter of divorce statutes, hence there is no 
reason why similar efforts should not be made 
in the matter of game laws. 
As long as the growing scarcity of game was 
so gradual as to attract but moderate atten¬ 
tion, nothing was done to meet the difficulty, 
but in recent years, with the improvement of 
means of transportation and the advent of 
motor craft, the decline in the supply of game 
has been so marked as to have alarmed all true 
sportsmen. The activity of the pot-hunters in 
supplying the markets is rapidly annihilating 
all classes of game, and unless something is 
done to stop the slaughter we will soon have 
no game at all, either for the pot-hunters or 
the true sportsmen.—New Orleans Picayune. 
WOMAN CHASED BY A RHINO. 
Out he burst at last with a crashing of brush 
and timber, reaching the open just in front of 
me, stopped for a minute to sniff the breeze, then 
advanced at a quick trot toward my pony, says 
Dora Vandeleur in the Empire Review. 
Being mounted and inexperienced I felt a false 
sense of security. He lumbered toward us with 
surprising swiftness, yet it seemed so difficult 
to believe this uncouth animal bent on mischief 
that I simply sat still and watched its approach. 
The pony stood this inaction as long as its 
nerves allowed, which I should judge was until 
the creature had got within eight or ten yards, 
then wheeled with a most disconcerting sudden¬ 
ness, and set off like the wind across the level. 
Fast though the pony flew (and having caught 
his panic I was urging him to do his utmost), 
to my horror and astonishment the rhino not 
only had no difficulty in keeping up, but gained. 
I heard a shot, and then another, and looked 
back over my shoulder hopefully. The creature 
was coming on faster than before. A third shot 
came from somewhere on my right, and I felt 
the pony slacken his pace. Evidently the last 
bullet had found a billet somewhere in the 
rhino’s thick hide, for to my surprise and re¬ 
lief he had wheeled round sharply and set off 
at a clumsy gallop across the plain at right angles 
to his former direction. 
The whole party followed in hot pursuit. Even 
the Irish terrier puppy which accompanied us on 
our expeditions rushed as hard as he could, 
tumbling head over heels upon the tussocks of 
coarse grass and emitting shrill yaps of defiance. 
We could not get near enough to get another 
shot at the rhino. It was amazing that such a 
great unwieldy brute could travel at the pace 
he did, far quicker than a horse’s gallop. Finally 
we had to give up the chase, much to our dis¬ 
appointment, for my sister and I had been long¬ 
ing for a rhinoceros horn to take home as a 
trophy ever since we started on our month’s 
trip up country.
