THE GAME BOOK 
Standard Big Game Measurements 
Every man wants to compare Ins 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 organi¬ 
zation of hunters of American big game, supplies this. Compiled by J. B. 
Kidder, it provides directions for standard measurements of the large game 
animals of America, with spaces carefully arranged for complete data re¬ 
garding the kill, locality, time, conditions, 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.

PODGERS ON DOGS. 
When one starts in on dog talk it is a good 
deal like talking horse—no ‘ end to it. As I 
heard a lady say after listening to her husband 
and myself all one evening, “Don't let me ever 
hear you say women talk about dress until men 
go wild. I never heard in half a lifetime as 
much about dress as I have heard about dogs 
this evening.” And I suspect she was right, 
for we did get deep into dog lore. 
You see there are a good many kinds of dogs 
to talk about, and the subject is a wide one. a 
deep one and a broad one. Every man has his 
particular arid peculiar views about them and 
his favorite breed, which he advocates on all oc¬ 
casions. With one it is the Llewellin (we are 
talking of sportsmen now), another the blue 
be It on, the red Irish or the Gordon, and there 
is where your humble servant comes in and 
raises his voice in praise, for he has eaten and 
drank, slept and lived with the Gordon for 
more years than it ought to take to build sev¬ 
eral expositions; and lie has ever found the 
Gordon a gentleman.. At the risk of having a 
sharp rejoinder from some other kind of a 
tinker 1 will say, and do say. that the Gordon 
setter is of the nobility, the true aristocrat. 
These, are my sentiments after association with 
dogs of every degree for years. There are 
noble and high-toned characteristics in the 
breed. He looks the gentleman and his looks 
do not deceive. I have seen more gentlemanly 
acts on the part of the Gordon setters than I 
have owned and been acquainted with then one 
is liable to see among the same number of 
presumed gentlemen on two legs. 
The stories I could tell of dogs, things com¬ 
ing under my own observation, would swamp 
Forest and Stream every week for twelve 
months. The last one I must relate. 1 owned 
a fine large specimen of the Gordon that went 
about with me a good deal. One day we 
stumbled over a litter of puppies astray from 
their kennel. They had crawled under the 
fence and the mother was bewailing on the 
other side. Rex stopped and took in the situ¬ 
ation at once. I never said a word nor did 
Rex. but he picked up a pup in bis mouth, 
jumped the fence with it, laid it down in front 
of the mother, returned and did the same thing 
for the four others; and I have no doubt de¬ 
clined all thanks. Doubtless he suggested that 
she had better close that hole under the fence 
if she wished to raise her family. I said, “Rex, 
that was very gallant of you. considering that 
you had not the least idea whether the mother 
was good looking or otherwise. If you were a 
man now you would have contrived to ascertain 
that important fact beforehand.” Rex answered 
with a faint wag of his tail and a look which 
plainly said. “I hope you don't think a dog 
would be so mean as that.” Now, here was an 
instance, not of instinct, except a gentlemanly 
instinct, perhaps. It was simply intelligence. 
I am weary of those people who are ever quot¬ 
ing instinct when an example is given of the 
knowingness of an animal. 
Dogs must do a good deal of thinking about 
us and be greatly puzzled over some of our 
ways; and no doubt discuss us at times in an 
uncomplimentary way. 
While I boast of the intelligence and gentle- 
HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price $1.00 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the 
forms of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligently, it will prove not less 
effective with others.
