C,me, my son, it IS time you were get
ting ready for a spring campaign against
the Indians and gr.zzlies. You Lave been
reading Daring nan,' "Iko Tie Indian
SLAYER" Gas, the Grizzly Killer" and
other exciting aad truthful stories, intend
ed to make g boy dissatisfied with hum
drum life, and your mind IS made up to
20 West.
You must have an outfit. That can be
got while waiting for spring to open. One
reason Why 50 many bOy -hunters make a
failure is because they economics too much
Ia the outfit. Don't be stingy in buying
guns. Ii will be all the better if you have
a Spencer carbiRe and 4 double barrelled
shotgun II 20 with your Winchester. Sup

is Apache warriors. You could kill only
10 Of them with your Winchester and two

tribe. By having some extra guns along
You are sure Of the whole crowd, aad tn,
tribe won't get onto you.
And don't scrimp on bowie knives. 1t
would be an almost fatal mistake to start
out with only two. Buy four, at least.
They are for use at close quarters with
grizzlies. OF course one bowie is enough
10 kill one bear with, but you may be 1t.
tackled by four bears at once, and four
knives would then he in demand. II you
don't get but three bOwies, make up the
deficiency with a Spanish stletto or a
Moorish dagger. 1t will come in handy,
not Only in a close fight, but TO pick your
teeth with at the campfire.
Az for dress, get the iringel 5uck-kin, 4
cOon-skin cap and regular mo CAsius Such

chiefs would be only waste luggage II you

body would suspect that you were the

muuitlou. You may he C~1rraIvd some
where in the Rocky mountlins by 400
fierce and determined indians, and you
don't want to lose yOur scalp tOr the want
of n few extra cartridges. All tie pro.
visions needed is 3 gaCk of jerked butrtlO
meat. 1t doesn't make the least bit Of
difference whether the buffalo was ierEed
of his feet, over a preciplce or head over
heels. II the meat is a little fy-b!Own it

You can chew ping tobacco or not, Just rs
you feel about it, hlt it would be wiser
to do so. All the champion terrors chez
large quantities, and the Juice comes
handy to spit into Il mttlr'nlkr's eyes.
| wouldn't take a horse Il ] wcr, you.
He would be great deal of trouble TO
will he in = rough country. The true
terror has always gone a%.foot, and always
will. Anybody ON horseback can make up
faces Mt Il grizzly, and gallop OF ont OF
reach.
One great mistake which the average
boy makes is in planringtO accomplish too
much the first season. Most OF them fig
ure on winning ont about 1000 Indians
ard twice that number Of bears. Keep
your estimates down to a reasonable fig
urc. You feel ambitious and cnlhusias-
tic, of cOurse, but there is a limit to what
Il boy can do. Set your figures at about
400 Indians and 300 grizzlies. This sill
be almost two per day the year around,
and will keep you from spelling.
| should scalp every Indian ! shot. II
not only looks more busiuesslIke to do 80,
but that's what you've got scalplnc knife
for, and il You can get about 200 svilg-
locks you can make the incest door nat
you ever saw. Ii doesn't hurt 4 dead In
dian a bit to scalp him, and if you don't
take it it will 90 to waste. 1t would he
we'll to have a siX-mule team follow You at
the distance Of a mile or 50 to pick mp and
care for the rifles, knives, bows and arrows
aud war-Clubs OF the dead Indians. These
can be run East by car lots and sold at
auction, and the profits will bay all your
ammunition. Don't cxterminltc any par
ticular tribe OF red men, but kiil of about
one-feurth Of seven or eight different tribes
This will extend your reputation as a
terror.
As to the best way of killing an Indian
l shall not pretend to advise. Some boys
prefer to shoot him and others believe II
sticking him with n knife. II YOU con
catch him in q deep gorge you might drop
a big bowlder down on his hsad. Another
way is to catch him by the feet with .
lasso, and drag him over the earth until
his spinal column is worn down to tooth
pick. in any event the fun Will be all oil
your side.
it's a little different with the grizzly
bear. He won't be quite so terror-strI,krn
over yCur sudden appearance, being bui!t
% a different plan. You expect ,owe
sh'w Of resistance, however, that Won may
have opportunity to SHOW your pluck.
Some OF these p~ale-taced, weak kneed
boys hold q grizzly of at long
range and ill him up with bullets, but you
will never see their wood cuts in a dime
novel. The true Terror will wind his
Mexican serape around his left arm, hold
it ont for the bear to chew on, and, while
the beast is busy getting a meal, put the
bOwie-Snife into him TO the heart. You
will be a tritlc nervous with your first bear,
