A GLANCE at the 22-caliber Savage Repeating Rifle will convince you that it 
“” is different from any other arm you ever saw. 
for small game and target work, it is the simplest and safest to handle. 
Besides being the best gun 
Its par- 
ticularly strong points are accuracy and reliability,and the finish and beauty 
of outline will always be a source of pleasure. 
It will never stick or jam when 
you are ina hurry for a second shot, but will always work smoothly and easily. 
Savage Rifles are made in a variety of sizes for all different kinds of shooting and 
are sold to you under an honest guarantee. 
A London playgoer, who had drunk deep- 
ly at his dinner, appeared at the box office 
of one of the principal theatres, and put 
down a sovereign, asking for the best seat 
in the house. His condition was so evi- 
dent that the man in the box office declined 
to sell him a ticket. ‘“What’s matter?” de- 
manded the applicant, “what’s matter with 
me?” 
“Well, if you really want to know,” .re- 
sponded the ticket seller, “you’re drunk.” 
The frankness of this reply had 
a sobering influence on the playgoer. He 
gathered up the sovereign with dignity. 
“Of course I’m drunk,” he said, cheer- 
fully, as he turned to go; “I wouldn’t come 
to see this play if I were sober, would I?”
