Reading Tournament. 
of 
Reading, Pa., Sept. 13,-Herewith are the scores 
I he South End Gun Club tournament. The shoot was 
1 success in every way. but the attendance was not as 
We as expected. This was no doubt caused by the 
lard times we have been having here. Most of the 
actories in this section have only been working halt- 
ime since the firSt of the year. 
You will notice by the scores that every entry shot 
trough the entire programme each day. This was due 
to the money-back system, under which this shoot was 
^Heretofore there has always been a number of entries 
for a few events only, causing a lot of work for those 
who have the shoot in charge. This tournament was 
also a success, financially, in spite of the small attend¬ 
ance Our obligations to the unsuccessful shooter 
amounted to $10.40 each day. We were able to make 
a return of $11 to each of them, making their expense 
for each day a little less than 2 cents a target, which is 
very light compared to what it would have been under 
the old or root-hog-or-die system, and if it had not been 
that several entries failed each day to shoot into the 
..money just once, we would have been able to have re¬ 
turned a much larger percentage of the losses. I hope 
that your valuable paper will do all that ' it can to 
promote this system of holding shoots, as it seems to me 
that it is the salvation of this great sport.

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 for ahead of 
ly 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 and 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.

tuck tied in the Du Pont trophy race 
Shattuck at 20yds., Smith 18. 
The fall tournament on Sept. 24 and 25 promises to be 
one of the best ever; _ $150 added average money, a 
theater party to the visiting guests on Thursday evening, 
Sept. 24, and a fine line of high grade merchandise 
prizes, will be on the programme. Programmes have 
been mailed to all shooters in the Central West, and a 
cordial invitation is extended to all to' come to this 
shoot. The entry will be such that it will make an in¬ 
teresting shoot. 
W. H. Vietmeyer, of Chicago, dropped in for a little 
shoot with the boys, and broke a very nice bunch of 
targets. 
Harry E. Smith, of Columbus, won high average for 
one day at the Canadian Indians’ shoot at Niagara, and 
won a silver cup. Hurrah for Harry. 
Mr. H. Carlisle and Mr. O. Kane came out to try 
the bluerocks. It was their first attempt. They both 
did well for a starter. Mr. Heskett will have to look 
out for them. 
H. Smith came out and shot a very consistent clip. 
Landon, of Westerville, made us a visit Saturday, 
and he enjoys the traps as a recreation very much. 
Mr. Condit, of Sunbury, came over for the afternoon 
and took a shot.

My 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 occupations 
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.
