THE LAST WORD IN LION HUNTING.

METHODS OF TRAILING, ENSNARING AND OTHERWISE OUTWITTING THE KING OF BEASTS.

A CHAPTER OF ADVENTURES If some one were to start a correspondence course in lion hunting he would give diagrams and instructions showing how to kill a lion in about six different styles--namely: The boma method.
The tall grass method.
The riding method.
The tree method.
The lariat method.
The spear method.
This list does not include the Ananias method, formerly popular.
The tree and boma methods are much esteemed by those sportsmen who wish to reduce personal danger to the least common denominator--the sportsmen who think discretion is the better part of valor and a hunter in a tree is worth two in the bush.

The sportsman who confines himself to the tree method is entitled to receive a medal "for conspicuous caution in times of danger," and the loved ones at home need never worry about his safe return.

For safe lion hunting the "tree" method would get "first prize," while the "boma" method would receive honorable mention.
The "tall grass" method is less popular in that the lion has some show and often succeeds in getting away to tell about it.
