THE REAL ORIGINAL AMERICAN TONGUE. 
New York City, October ist, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Can any American translate this original 
American document? While in one of the wild¬ 
est portions of the Province of Quebec recently, 
I ran across notices printed on muslin and 
tacked to trees, usually at the end or beginning 
of portages, reading as follows:

As the foreign war has not yet extended to 
Quebec, I am quite at a loss to understand the 
meaning of the notices and send you copy as 
above for translation. 
Hunter. 
We can assure our correspondent that the 
notice has nothing to do with war not is it j 
printed in a foreign language. Rather it is in a 
real original American form—in short it is in 
the Algonquin or MicMac tongue and is dated 
March 1913. Its real significance is—but we pre¬ 
fer to have some learned Forest and Stream 
reader send us a literal translation or at least 
an approximate interpretation of the notice itself. 
Are there any who can do that?.—Ed.] 
A WORD FOR THE HUNTER. 
T HE following from the Boston Transcript 
is so true in word and theory that Forest 
and Stream takes pleasure in reproducing 
the article as expressing lucidly and legally the 
real position of the hunter with respect to his 
recreation and so-called brutality in killing game. 
The article follows: 
In another column, a correspondent, Mr. 
J. M. Greene, makes the suggestion that the 
prevalent horror of European bloodshed and 
destruction should produce a revulsion against all 
kinds of killing, and thus deter men from going 
to the Maine woods this fall to shoot deer. “The 
present spectacle across the sea,’’ Mr. Greene 
thinks, “should sicken the rational mind with 
every form of unnecessary violence and destruc¬ 
tion.’ This is an interesting association of ideas, 
but is it not somewhat forced? The sportsman, 
it is true, kills. But does he kill cruelly or wan¬ 
tonly? Does he really lessen the number of the 
beautiful creatures of the wood, or increase the 
sum of their suffering in the world? Certainly 
not. On the other hand, the hunter for sport
