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 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.

BOAT BUILDING TIME 
Is the time for the prospective Houseboat owner to consider plans and 
estimates. Next spring will be the right time to break away from the 
conventional summer life, save rent or country board, and become a 
houseboat dweller. The best preparation and incentive is reading 
ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT’S 
“Houseboats and Houseboating” 
It is the only complete and thoroughly reliable work on the subject, 
and beside this, is one of the most beautiful and thoroughly readable 
books published. It is fascinating reading, dealing as it does with a new 
and delightful phase of outdoor life. 
It describes houseboat life, the equipment and furnishing of the 
floating home, with detailed plans for all types from the simplest to the 
most elaborate. It shows how the problem of the inexpensive summer 
home close to business and city is solvable, and covers every point that 
the seeker after houseboat truth can raise. Buckram, 332 pages, superbly 
illustrated, plans, etc.
