Cut this article out. Memo I'
rize it carefully. Carry if with]5
you when you start out for your
hunt. And read it over every -1
day while you are out.
Don't ^rat-p a eun by the barrel

test the truth of the saying that ,
a fool lia9 more lives t.ian a eat
?and then don't. One discharge ^
? may blow them all out. c
Don't carry but asmaUquan t
tity of whiskey with you on your v
hunt. It's poor stuff to shoot on. c
and the devil who engineers the i
"deplorable accidents" you read .
of daily while the hunting sea \
son is on has 110 more potent ally v
than the product of the still.
Don't under any ciicumstances .
allow your gun muzzle to point f
for one sinule moment a' any t
living thing you do not mean t<>
kill. j
Don't allow yourself to carry
a cocked gun in yout hands, not
even if you are alone. A sudden
stumble may fire it; and you can
never tell where the content- I
may go. *
Don't carry a loaded gun into i
your camp or stopping place.
And bo absolutely sure that i
every cartridge is taken out ol 1
it before you go near the door.
If the sportsman who Hiot *
poor Jones through the heart t
across his own camp table had ?
heeded that don't, and the other (
regarding the muzzle of his gun
pointing at any one,Jones would
have been alive today. You see
lie took a hammerless rifle into 1
Jones's camp,laid it down on the
table on the other side of which
his host was sitting, talked for
t
a while, picked up the r.fle?and
killed Jones instantly. He has
never been able to understand
how. I
Don't shoot u? a noise. *
Don't shoot a moving bush. s
Don't shoot at anything to t
which you cannot swear. D the I
sportsman who stood in Cech I
ran's dooryard and killed his 1
chum, who wa; coming through c
high bush eighty rods away, had i
heeded those dont's the luckless 1
chum wouldn't have been hurled *
into eterninty without a moinent's
warning, and the still
more luckless survivor would
not be to lav a hopeless maniac.
Those are dont's worth heeding.
Don't shoot small game, such |
as rabbits, grouse or squirrels J
with big ammunition. >
The man who shot at a rabbit )
with a high nower nlle last sea- '
boh and killed a woodman a mile i
away lias wished many a time
since that lie had heeded that
don't. (
Don't shoot at running game t
or any other, unless you can 1
clearly see three things?the h
game, the- front sight of your j
gun and the rear di'to, and all ,
three in conjunction, mind. ^
Don't jerk the trigger when 1
/nu see these objects in eonjunc

? grants, without regard to nation
ality, although it appeared to be
? the desire to keep the blacks
? with all their faults.
' Probably the most distinctiN e
. step by the convention was the
1 recommendation that the governors
of all southern states be re1
quested to recommend the im?
mediate establishment of bu
- reaus of immigratian.
