RHYMES OF THE STREAM AND FOREST 
FRANK MERTON BUCKLAND 
One of the freshest, most delightful collections of outdoor verse offered for 
many a day. They are the outpourings of a spirit which loves nature, the 
woods and streams and growing things, and appreciates its charms. 
Mr. Buckland’s verse has a charm that is at once rare and delightful. This 
book will appeal to every outdoor man or woman, and particularly to the 
“Brethren of the Angle.” 
Its form is as attractive as its pages, closely simulating the appearance of 
the standard fly-book, printed on heavy laid paper with ornamental border 
designs of trout flies, pocket for clippings, and blank pages for copying or 
individual composition. It is just the thing for the den, for the pocket, or 
for a gpft to the friend who loves the big world of out of doors. 
Postpaid, $1.25

Since the law went into effect practically prohibiting the 
e.xportation of all specimens of the moose froni Alaska, 
the number of remarkable heads seen from this district 
has become exceptionally small. Not many are offered 
for sale, and then only upon such occasions as may be 
found in our advertising columns to-day. This particu¬ 
lar head has been officially measured and photographed 
by the American Zoological Society, who regard it, taken 
as a whole — spread, points, bell, condition of antlers and 
scalp and general conformation—as a remarkable speci¬ 
men. Big-game hunters, of course, know that the 
Alaska moose of the Kanai Peninsula (Aloes gigas) is a 
species entirely distinct from that known as the Maine 
or Canadian moose. The Alaska moose is the largest in 
the world. 
BRODY’S BUCKJUMPER. 
Jim Brody was a small man with a large 
temper kept well under control, and of a de¬ 
termined mind. “Hasty Jim’’ the hands on 
Barraba station called him. Despite his temper, 
Jim Brody was popular. He was always re¬ 
liable, and a staunch friend, but at the same 
time not a man to be trifled with. Perhaps the 
reason of Brody’s popularity lay in his skill as 
a horseman, for the men of the West love a 
bold dashing rider. There were many horses 
on Barraba station difficult to handle, but Jim 
Brody was master, and they knew it. There 
was no chance of waging war successfully with 
“Hasty Jim,” as many a furious and defeated 
buckjumper had discovered. 
One horse on Barraba station earned for 
himself the title of “Brody’s buckjumper.” It 
came about in this wise. When they were 
breaking in several horses picked out of a mob 
at Barraba there was one fine dark bay that 
resisted all attempts to mount him. Jim Brody 
had not been at Barraba more than a month, 
and had very little chance of showing his 
prowess in the saddle during that time. As one 
rider after another tried to tame this refractory 
steed Jim Brody stood looking on with a quiet 
amused smile that exasperated all hands. What 
business had this little man to take a rise out 
of the best boundary riders on Barraba in this 
manner? 
Henry Mace, owner of Barraba station and 
the stock thereon, watched Jim Brody, and 
thought de detected by the flashing of the small 
man’s eyes that he meant business, given the 
opportunity. He determined his new hand 
should have his chance. 
“What’s amusing yon, Brody?” said Henry 
]\Iace. 
“I’m always a bit tickled,” said Jim, “when I 
see a horse master a man. It’s really fun when 
the brute masters all the riders at Barraba. 
Makes a chap wonder where they received their 
education.” 
“Do you think you can mount that bay 
horse?” said Henry Mace quietly.
