strapped its pigskin covers the first thought to 
dash through my brain was that he was about 
lo produce a spare pair of brogues from it; but 
he merely brought out a yard of fine whip-cord, 
with which we managed to tie on the departing 
isoles, and I was thus spared the tiresome neces¬ 
sity of walking three long miles home on my 
bands. 
And then there is my own fly-book. On sec¬ 
ond thoughts, however, and in mercy to its pro¬ 
prietor, I will say nothing about that.—W.

THOUGHT ONE KEG ENOUGH. 
Haverhill, Mass., May 1 .—Editor Forest and 
Stream: I have been interested in the articles on 
reason in animals, by Julian Burroughs and 
others. As Mr. Elliott says, “There are dogs 
and dogs,” and I am reminded of one owned by 
our neighbor on the next farm, when I was a 
small boy, too small to know personally, as the 
dog was sold for a watch dog just as I began to 
ktiow him. He was a big Newfoundland and 
I remember well hearing my father tell about 
him. 
On one occasion he was sent with a hay rake 
;to the hay field, and had to pass through a field 
of corn on the way. He carried the rake all 
right till he came to the corn, but it would not 
go crosswise. After trying it he laid the rake 
jjjon the ground, and picking up one end of it, he 
dragged it through the corn, picked it up the 
old way and delivered it to his master in the 
j next field. He was seen to do this, as the field 
•was on a hill side in plain view of two houses. 
( At another time when the men were working 
in a field some distance from home and be- 
lyond some woods, he was sent home in the fore¬ 
noon, with the cider keg to be refilled. The keg 
was a small one and was carried by a strap 
; fastened to each end. He went home, the keg 
j was refilled and he started back for the field, 
but had no keg with him when he got there. 
' After dinner his master took his whip along so 
the dog might explain matters, and he did so by 
leading him away from the path into the woods 
and uncovering the keg, where he had hid it be¬ 
side the wall not far from the field. 
He was not a quarrelsome dog, but any dog 
> that wanted a scrap could be accommodated in 
short order. One day when his master was 
r sitting in front of the house and the dog lying 
i near by, a stranger drove along the road, ac- 
: companied by a large dog, and while the dogs 
| were getting acquainted in their own fashion, 
[the traveler thought he would like to see a fight. 
and said, “Sick him, Bose.” In about a minute 
j his dog had a broken leg. and his owner was 
i swearing mad, with nobody to blame but him- 
fcself. 
The dog usually got hold of a foreleg when 
1 fighting, and if there were no broken bones, 
there was apt to be some loud talk by the other 
f dog. 
I have no doubt of the truth of these stones, 
j as my father was not given to romancing. 
I Why the dog hid the cider when so near to 
[ the field, was a conundrum, but the folks at 
j ! home thought the dog knew when the men had 
enough. J. P. M. Green.

My Life As Ai\ 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 occupations 
of every man, when the buffalo still covered the 
prairie, and the Indian was as yet little touched 
by contact with civilization. Pie 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.

CHINESE TO SAVE FORESTS. 
The Chinese are saving their forests, says the 
Chicago Tribune. The almost worldwide move¬ 
ment to protect and establish forests has reached 
• the Celestial Empire, and the first Chinese school 
of forestry shortly will be opened in Mukden. 
The Chinese realm sometimes is pointed out 
as the worst example among modern nations 
of forest destruction. The floods, which period¬ 
ically are poured down from the denuded moun¬ 
tains are destructive beyond comparison with 
1 those of any other country, and the want of 
I forests is assigned as the chief cause. 
Wood is scarcer in China than in almost any 
other inhabited region of the world, although 
| the country is well adapted to the growing of 
i trees. In the establishment of a forest school 
! the Chinese Government gives evidence that it 
j realizes the need of beginning its reforestation 
in a scientific manner.

Kennel Diseases 
By "Ashmont” (J. Frank Perry, M.D.), author of “Ken¬ 
nel Secrets.” Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, $3.00 net. 
Postage, 22 cents. 
Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority far ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms ana diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.

to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and
