A NATURE-LOVER IN THE CITY. | 
THE fact that Irving Bacheller has spent the) 
greater part of his life in New York city will 
seem surprising to the host of readers who have 
come to know him as a writer with a keen relish 
for out-of-door life and a striking appreciation 
of rural wit and wisdom as well as a delightful 
cleverness inputting them upon paper. Yet 
this man, the creator of “Silas Strong, Em- 
peror of the Woods,” “Eben Holden,” and now} 
of that charming little book, “Eben Holden’s| 
Last Day A-Fishing,” was actively connected 
with the press of New York for many years, 
and until recently was one of the editors of 
one of the greatest and busiest and up-to-date 
New York newspapers. 
His love for the country is instinctive and 
deep-rooted, however, and he never lost it, even 
in his busiest years of New York work. Most of 
his time now is spent either at a favorite spot on 
Long Island Sound, or—and this he loves even 
more—among the forests and villages of the| 
Adirondacks. With his profound affection for 
the country, there goes naturally the insight 
into country character which gives his work so 
charming and distinctive a quality—Harper’s. 




























WOODCOCK IN NEW YORK CITY. 
On Nov. 13, 1883, a woodcock was discovered 
on the roof of a building in Duane street, New 
York city. It was seen from an office window, 
and for some time stood in one place without 
moving, being apparently cold. The tail of a? 
storm was still passing over the city. The gen- 
tleman who discovered it at length sent a porter 
on to the roof to try to catch it, but the bird 
declined to become a captive and flew off. We 
have more than once seen these birds in the up- 
town streets during the summer and in Septem: 
ber, and have been told by a gentleman that 
vears ago he used occasionally to shoot them in 
the old Houston street graveyard—Forest and 
Stream, November, 1883. | 


My Life As An Indian } 

which was published serially in Forest AnD STREAM as by W. B. Ander- b 
son, has now been issued over the author’s true name, J. W. Schultz, and 
under the new title | 
D 

~+ 
; : ; 
The story is one of the most faithful pictures of human life ever drawn. t 
It tells of the life of the plains Indian in the old days, when buffalo hunting | 
and journeys to war were the occupations of every man. It describes the r 
oh ; every day life of the great camp, tells how the men and women passed | 
This is the picture of an old 5. ep : 
: ; their time, how the young men gambled, how they courted their sweet— 1 
ime Indian of the north, one of > 
those descuibed in Man Sehtiee hearts, how the traders imposed on the Indians and how the different 
splendid book, ‘‘My Life as an tribes fought together. The one central figure of the book is 
Indian.” The white blanket 
coat and the handkerchief Nat-ah’-ki, 
about the head were the char- 
gtterisie dreeisk that Gnie and the beautiful Indian girl who became the author's wife. 
But it is needless to describe this book to readers of FoREST AND 
STREAM. Those who read it as a serial will surely want the volume on 
their library shelves. Price, $1.65, postpaid.
