ADVICE TO BOY TERRORs.
Come, my son, It il time you were get
tang ready for . spring campaign against
the Indians and grizzlies. You have been
reading Daring Dsn," " Ike, the Indian
Slayer" Gus, the Grizzly Killer"
and other exciting and truthful stories,
intended to make boy dissatisfied with
humdrum life, and your mind is made up
to 60 West
You must have an outfit. That can be
got while waiting for spring to open.
One reason why 90 many boy-hunters
make failure is because they economise
too much in the ontfit. Don't be stingy
in buying guns. It will be all the better
if you have . Spencer carbine and a
double-barreled shotgun to go with your
Winchester. Suppose you came suddenly
upon band of eighteen Apache warriors
You could only kill sixteen of them with
your Winchester and two would be left
to ride of and alarm the tribe. By having
some extra guns along you are sure of the
whole crowd, and the tribe won't get
onto you. And don't scrlmp on bowie
knives. 1t would be an almost fatal mis-
take to start out with only two. Buy
four at the least They are for use at
close quarters with grizzlies. Of course
one bowie is enough to kill one bear With,
but you may be attacked by four bears at
once, and four knives would then be in
demand. If you don't get but three
bowies make up the deficiency with q
Spanish stilletto or Moorish dagger. 1t
will come in handy, not only ID clese
fight, but to pick your teeth with at the
camp FIRE.
AS for dress, get the fringed buckskin,
. coon:kin cap and regular noccasins.
Such things as shirts, collars, cuffs or
g.ge. If you should appear IN Miles City.
with collar on 1t would give you away
At once Nobody would suspect that you
were the Young Terror from the East,
who was aching for . chance to tie knot
in q grizzly bears TAIL ano- - =
You should take a. least 200 pounds of
ammunition. Yoa may be conahed some
where in the Rocky Monntains By 900
fierce and determined Indians, and yoa
don't want 70 lose yoar seAi p for the want
of few extra cartridges. All the pro-
Visions needed 10 sack of jerked buffalo
meat. 1t doesn't make the least bit Of
difference whether the buffalo was iefked
OF his teet over a precipioe, or head over
heels. If the meat is little fy-blown it
will add to, your dignity as . hunter.
You can chew plug tobacco or not, just
as you feel about it, but it, would be
wisest to do 90. All the champion ter
rors chew large quantities, and the juice
comes handy to spit into rattlesnake's
eyes. I,wouldn't take horse if we're
you. He would be great deal of
trouble to take care of, and most OF your
hunting will be in . rough country. The
true Terror has always gone afoot and al
ways will. Anybody on horseback can
make up faces at . grizzly and galiop of
out of reach. -.
= One great mistake which the average
boy rnakes is in planning to accomplish
too much the 6rst season. Most of them
figure on ~iping out shout 1000 Indians
snd twice thst number Of bears. Keep
your estimates down 20 reasonable II.

OF course, bat there is limit 10 what &
