READY SEPTEMBER FIFTEENTH 
Inter-Ocean Hunting Tales 
■■■ EDGAR F. RANDOLPH ■- 
True Tales of True Sport From New Brunswick to The Rockies 
Mr. Randolph’s volume offers a series of hunting reminiscences that have all 
the charm of the camp-fire tale. “Inter-Ocean Hunting Tales” is not of the stereo¬ 
typed order, a mere catalogue of game slaughter, but a series of delightful narra¬ 
tives in which a vivid word picture of life in the open in various parts of the 
United States and Canada is drawn. The grandeur of the wilderness is well por¬ 
trayed, and hunting incidents are selected not as exploiting the prowess of the 
author, but because of their real interest. 
Aside from sport there is much that will interest the student of wild life, the 
viewpoint is often new, the-stories culled from a varied experience, always fresh, 
while the author shows conslusively that the charm of camp life is no whit lessened 
by the elimination of unnecessary hardship. This unaffected narrative of a true 
sportsman will appeal to every lover of life in the open.

THE COYOTE CAME BACK. 
William Mitchell, a typical frontiersman, 
who is trapping coyotes for a number of sheep¬ 
men of this section of the country, says the 
Wyoming Tribune, secured a coyote near the 
Muddy bridge that had a Standard Meat & 
Livestock Company’s tag in its ear. In 1893 
this coyote was captured with a number of 
others, all young, by Marsey’s camp-movers. 
The animal was saved from among the others 
and marked by placing the tag in its ear. A. T. 
Corlett was present when the experiment was 
made. What volumes could be written about 
the crafty little animal, concerning his trickery 
in evading traps and poison bait, as he roamed 
the range and hills during the past years. Cal¬ 
culating the amount of damage done by the 
ravenous appetite of this one coyote during its 
fifteen years of the sheep range at two sheep 
per month, a very fair estimate, the value of 
sheep being $ 3.00 per head, the aggregate 
amount would be $ 1 , 080 , which might havL been 
saved had the experiment never been made. 
BY HEART. 
“Now, Johnny,” said the teacher, “what is it 
makes the water of the sea so salty?” 
“Salt,” said Johnny. 
“Next!” said the teacher. “What is it makes 
the water of the sea so salty?” 
“The salty quality of sea-water,” answered 
“Next,” “is due to the admixture of a sufficient 
quantity of chloride of sodium to impart to the 
aqueous fluid with which it commingles, a saline 
flavor, which is readily recognized by the organs 
of taste!” 
“Right, ‘Next,’” said the teacher. “Go up 
one.”

THE SUMMER HOME OF TO MORROW 
Houseboats and Houseboating 
ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT 
N OT only the best, but the only practical book for the yearly increasing num¬ 
bers who see in the Houseboat the solution of the great summer problem. 
Deals with a phase of country life as yet little known in this country, but well 
developed in England, which offers boundless possibilities not only to the wealthy, 
but,to the family of moderate means in search of a summer home. 
Mr. Hunt has dealt with houseboating from the water up, considering in detail 
various types and classes with full directions for construction and furnishing, and 
practical hints for dealing with the daily problems of the houseboater. He shows 
how at slight expense the acme of summer comfort may be obtained within easy 
reach of the city, and how the houseboat makes change of scene not only possible 
but easy. Special consideration is given power houseboats and auxiliary power 
boats. 
All this is accompanied by copious notes, drawings, builders’ plans and illus¬ 
trations of actual houseboats and houseboat life. Superbly illustrated, heavy paper, 
232 pages. 
A Work of Rare Beauty and Interest.
