against the hunter’s skill; but one short mile, only 
three powerful dives, between her and security. 
The breeze that brings yon fogbank down, mov¬ 
ing over the waters like a wall of snow, bears 
to her ear the tide rip’s roar, within the range 
of whose tumultuous waves experience tells her 
there is refuge sure. Such might be a tempta¬ 
tion of selfish humanity, but her instincts are of 
nobler order. Hanging on the outskirts of the 
boats, she seeks, with a boldness foreign to her 
nature, to lure the hunters from her young; and 
when at length she deems her ruse successful, 
back she dives with caution to her nurseling’s 
side. The exigencies of our situation and the 
excitement of the chase might check for a time 
those feelings of pity which would otherwise 
have been uppermost, but such unselfish devotion 
could not but raise within us the strongest ad¬ 
miration.” 
A NEBRASKA PANTHER CAVE 
A panther’s den with ten kittens cuddled up 
in it was found a few days ago on the ranch of 
H. T. Richards, a few miles west of South Bend 
in Cass county. 
Mr. Richards and some of his men noticed a 
cave in the side of the canon. After enlarging 
the opening one of the men, Grover Otte, 
entered. Back in the cave ten or twelve feet 
he found the ten kittens. When one of them 
was brought to the entrance it was found to 
be a baby panther. 
Mr. Otte is now raising the kittens at his 
home. Since the discovery of the kittens 
neither of the parent animals has been seen. 
Several times a strange animal has been seen 
in the vicinity of South Bend and farmers com¬ 
plained about the mysterious disappearance of 
suckling pigs, lambs and chickens.—Kansas City 
Star. 
PERILS OF THE DEEP SEA. 
Experience in being wrecked and then in 
danger of drowning, or being burned aboard 
their blazing craft, gave thirty anglers a thril¬ 
ling hour off Rockaway recently. The men 
were aboard the thirty-foot gasolene launch, 
Peg, and were returning to shore after their 
fishing sport when the Peg ran between sunken 
piles and nearly capsized. 
The launch was held fast, and after the ex¬ 
citement quieted the cook began to prepare a 
meal, awaiting high tide. 
The stove exploded, sending a shower of 
blazing oil all over the craft. Most of the 
fishermen fled to the bow in a panic and raised 
the after part until it was feared the Peg would 
be swamped. At last the men quitted and in a 
half hour, after the fire was put out, they were 
all rescued by a police launch.—Herald.

The Game Book 
STANDARD BIG GAME MEASUREMENTS 
Every man wants to compare his trophy with those of other big-game hunters. 
But comparisons are useless unless there is a fixed standard. 
The game book of the Boone and Crockett Club, the foremost organization of 
hunters of American big-game supplies this. Compiled by J. H. Kidder, it provides 
directions for standard measurements of the large game animals of America, with 
spaces carefully arranged for complete data regarding the kill, locality, time, con¬ 
ditions, etc. 
It is handsomely and durably bound pocket size. It is an invaluable record 
for every man who goes into the wild for sport with the rifle, a handy book, a 
camp companion, and a library reminder of days afield. Leather.
