sons had the same privilege as mine, but it was 
a long time before I had any followers. 
In the first place, as Jack’s father was not 
much of a sportsman, I took the boy to a man 
who lived in the neighborhood, who often spent 
a day in the woods, and told him just what I 
wanted, viz., that Jack should learn the proper 
use of a gun—that he should know the dangers 
of firearms and also the pleasure of a day spent 
in the pursuit of game; and after applauding 
my ideas, Mr. Stearns readily agreed to take 
Jack as a pupil. After this, on Wednesday and 
Saturday, if the weather permitted, Mr. Stearns 
and Jack would “go a-hunting.” Sometimes I 
went also; and when Jack was twelve years old 
Mr. Stearns’ company was sometimes dispensed 
with and we went together. As Jack grew older, 
he saw more and more the necessity for care 
and caution, and now when he goes off with 
dog and gun I feel no uneasiness. 
Why is it, I wonder, that mothers so often 
fail to understand the natural longings of their 
sons. It is too much to ask that they put them- 
selves occasionally in the boy’s place, and feel 
that the gun, the bicycle, the new base-ball bat 
or the camera will save the boy from the temp- 
tation of the cigarette, the saloon, the vicious 
literature or other evils of the day? Let some 
other mother be heard on the gun question. 
OxtviA Hoarp. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I say not only that every boy, but every girl 
should learn to shoot. Why should our sex 
monopolize the most delightful of recreations? 
In these days of small-bores, light weights and 
powders of slight recoil, why should not the 
girls accompany us in the field, shoot, handle 
the dogs, and, while greatly increasing our 
enjoyment, themselves taste the pleasure of 
shooting over setters and pointers? It is true 
that, as a rule, they do not seem to care about 
it. But is not this merely because they do not 
know what they are declining? Indeed, many 
women go so far as to believe that our only 
object in going is to kill, that we cannot en- 
joy a day in the field unless we return with a 
big bag! No wonder they think it a cruel sport 
and do not care to jdin us. But let them once 
see our dogs work, and understand wherein our 
enjoyment lies, and they will appreciate and 
share it. As for conventionalities, if it is proper 
for a young lady to take a walk, it is certainly 
quite as proper for her to carry a gun while she 
walks; and if a chaperone is necessary, let her 
come—she can carry the game and extra car- 
tridges. SETTER.

ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.
