THE NARRATIVE OF A SPORTSMAN 
Inter-Ocean Hunting Tales 
EDGAR E. RANDOLPH — 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare charm for the sportsman and for the 
wider circle which delights in true tales of outdoor life. With none of the high 
coloring and exaggeration which give a false note to so many hunting stories, Mr. 
Randolph’s book is never lacking in interest. 
He covers the field of sport with the rifle, east and west, drawing a vivid word 
picture of life in the open, subordinating his own exploits to the main incidents of 
outdoor experience, giving much valuable information on camp life, hunting and the 
habits of wild game, and continually delighting the reader with the freshness of his 
viewpoint. 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in the memory of every big-game 
hunter of experience and will prove of real value to the novice who is planning an 
excursion into the wild.

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. 
Price, $3 Net. Postage, 34 Cents.

A TURTLE STORY. 
Gwendolyn Washburn, a girl of eighteen had 
a narrow escape from drowning in White River, 
south of Omega, Ind., the other day. With 
friends with whom she had been camping Miss 
Washburn went into the river. She swam about 
for a while and then started to tread out some 
carp in the mud surrounding an old tree stump 
in the bottom of the stream. 
Presently one of the girl’s companions 
noticed that her large sun hat was floating on 
the water. She was nowhere in sight. Bubbles 
coming to the surface, however, indicated that 
she had gone down but a moment before. 
One of the young men in the party dived and 
caught Miss Washburn by the shoulders. He 
found it impossible for a time to drag her to 
the surface. She seemed to he held in the mud 
by some strange force. 
Finally the rescuer managed to reach the sur¬ 
face, and still holding on to the girl, who was 
beneath the water, he called for help. Several 
of his companions came to his assistance, and 
together they got Miss Washburn out of the 
mud, so that, though unconscious, her head was 
above water. Quickly then they pushed her 
ashore. 
Clinging tightly to the large toe of Miss 
Washburn’s left foot was a snapping turtle of 
unusual size. The turtle had resented apparent¬ 
ly the young woman’s interference with its mid¬ 
day sleep, and was dragging her slowly to death 
when companions rescued her. 
Miss Washburn was revived after a time and 
the camping party broke up.—Times.
