American Duck Shooting

complete and most interesting book. It describes, with a portrait, every 
species of duck, goose and swan known to North America; tells of the 
various methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, loads, decoys 
and boats used in the sport, and gives the best account ever published of 
the retrieving Chesapeake Bay Dog.

Ny Life As An Indian 
All That the Title Implies and More 
Probably the most faithful picture of Indian 
life ever drawn from the pen of a man who 
spent years among the Blackfeet, marrying into 
the tribe and becoming to all practical intents 
an Indian. 
Mr. Schultz tells of the life of the plains In¬ 
dian, when war and hunting were the occupa¬ 
tions of every man, when the buffalo still 
covered the prairie, and the Indian was as yet 
little touched by contact with civilization. He 
describes as one who has lived the life, the 
daily routine of the great camp, the lives of the 
men and women, the gambling, the quarreling, 
the love making, the wars, the trading of the 
Indians. 
The narrative is full of intense human in¬ 
terest, and the requisite touch of romance is 
supplied in the character of Nat-ah-ki, the beau¬ 
tiful Indian girl, who became the author’s wife. 
Price, $i.6s postpaid.

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this origintil 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the forms 
of practice followed were his own. This then may be 
termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it was 
successful in his own experience, being here set forth 
simply and intelligently, it will prove not less effective 
with others.
