The domain of the wild ani- mals or game is already on the wane; for rapid- ly enough are we pre-empting heretofore unin- habited territory. Some day man will utilize all the earth for some purpose or other^ then the day of wild game or animal will have passed, except perhaps such as be housed in menageries, and the species al- lowed to propagate for the benefit of those in- terested in zoology. Hence I say be reasonable, and quit after a fair day's sport, and do not keep killitig just because you can. As to the revolver for a hunting trip, leave it out, it is rarely useful or needed. Choose instead (the same weight) either the U. S. Government (adopted) Binocular Telescope or a pair of good field glasses, straps and case, which you will find invaluable for sighting and making sure of game; across distant waters or midst hills, by its aid, what often appears to be a stump or rock, shows to be game or wild animals; saving an immense amount of tramping around, and enabling a search with the eye, from a point of vantage many miles in extent, revealing to you the presence of game that otherwise you would have never discovered. Such things can be carried by your guide or companion. If on distant trips a sportsman's haversack should be carried, and to equalize and distribute its small weight, a canteen filled with pure water or tea; in this haversack should be carried if de- sired, extra ammunition, safety compass and wat- erproof safety match box, thus insuring the hunter several days supply of warm fires and smokes, in case of a wetting or an aggravating fall in c
