My Life As Aiv 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 occupa¬ 
tions of every man, when the buffalo still cov¬ 
ered the prairie, and the Indian was as yet little 
touched by contact with civilization. He de¬ 
scribes 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. 
Price, $1.65 postpaid. 
FOREST AND STREAM PUB. CO, 
127 Franklin Street, New York 
proceeded along the oozy side of a spruit of 
running water, until we came to a small pool, 
when D. whispered, “Blesbok have been drink- 
inking here quite recently.” 
The spoor led up the kloof, and my com¬ 
panion commenced to follow it, while I returned 
for the ponies. 
D., who had learned the art of spooring 
under Remington, the celebrated American 
scout, was able to “slot” the buck right along 
the valley which traversed the kopjes for nearly 
a mile. Then all trace of the spoor would 
have been lost to anyone less experienced in 
big-game hunting and wood craft; but D.’s 
quick eye detected certain small tokens known 
alone to the shikar—a bruised blade of grass, 
a few drops of dew shaken from a bush, a 
loosened stone, or a freshly lopped leaf were 
sufficient signs for him to puzzle out the line 
taken by the antelope. We follow along the 
spoor at a hand-gallop, D. dismounting every 
now and again to examine a patch of stony or 
otherwise difficult ground. 
Suddenly the hawk-like eyes of the scout 
lighted upon a heap of perfectly fresh “drop¬ 
pings” among the rank grass, and pulling up 
he handed his bridle-reins to me (I thought it 
a somewhat selfish proceeding at the time it 
never having been my luck to “pull at” a bles¬ 
bok), and crept forward, rifle in hand, to, a 
clump of low scrub. There, peering through 
the thick foliage of the bushes, he saw a fine 
bull blesbok standing - “head on” at about 350 
yards range. It was impossible for D. to ap¬ 
proach nearer, as the buck was feeding on an 
open patch of veldt. 
Having adjusted the sight, he took aim and 
hred, but to his disgust—and to mine—the .360 
bullet plowed up the sandy soil between the 
animal s fore-feet, and at the report of the 
rifle the antelope threw up his head and started 
off at great speed across the open. D. sprang 
upon his pony, which I brought up at the right 
moment, and then began a race between us. 
Helter skelter we went over spruit and nullah, 
heedless of the ant-bear earths, meerkat holes, 
and other horse-traps with which the veldt 
was honey-combed. The buck appeared to 
gain upon us for a time, but, hampered by a 
somewhat badly-injured hoof—a fact which 
we subsequently discovered—caused by a 
splash of D.’s bullet, he presently began to 
lag, and we to gain ground. 
“Tally ho, forward!” shouted the trooper as 
he dug spurs into his well-bred and fast Bas’uto 
pony, which tried its level best to outstride my 
snaky-looking, thoroughbred weed. Girth and 
girth we raced, gaining upon the blesbok every 
moment. 
D. now steadied his mount, and making a 
back-sight with the first finger and thumb of 
his left hand (an old Boer dodge of shooting 
from the saddle) he took a snap-shot at the 
buck at about 150 yards’ range. As he pressed 
the trigger, however, his pony swerved slightly 
to one side, and he made a clean miss. With a 
muttered “blessing” he gathered up his reins 
and once more started off in pursuit, reloading 
as he went. But before he had time to get 
in another shot I had rolled over my first 
blesbok with a lucky bullet through its neck. 
POPLARS NOT POPULAR. 
The planting of trees along the banks of 
canals and rivers, suggested by the woman’s 
auxiliary of the National Rivers and Harbors 
Congress, may have much to commend it, but 
there is reason for questioning the wisdom of 
selecting Lombardy poplars for the purpose, 
those trees look picturesque in some places, 
but usually they are far from handsome; they 
give practically no shade, and they are of slight 
commercial or industrial value. Surely other 
trees can be found far better suited to that 
purpose.—New York Tribune.
