There can't be "one shell wrong" 
when they're loaded with Dead Shot Smokeless. A mountain of powder comes through 
the mill chemically tested on the way in each stage of manufacture. When finished it 
must pass the shooting range tests — must show definite points in high velocity, light recoil, 
low bursting pressure and uniform sound. The powder in one shell must be like that 
in any other. It is physically impossible for it to be otherwise. 
Pead Shot 
Its stability is guaranteed. 
The crisp air, the snow, the baying of the hounds and the conscious- 
ness that you have a good gun and a quick, sure powder ; these are the 
things that make huntmg of the rabbit and fox the sport of kings. 
Dead Shot with its own special feature of high-velocity-with-light- 
recoil establishes the fact that it is a decided advantage for accuracy. 
All the load ing companies use it. 
If your dealer hasn't it, we will refer you to one who has.

I have several times been asked whether the

A plains Indian dog, wilh travels. 
old servants of the Hudson's Bay Company told 
me, that in the earlier days within his memory-, 
both the white and the red man ate the animal, 
but not those with European blood. There is no 
reason why these dogs, which pass their lives in 
such an ideally healthy region, should not be 
eaten occasionally or during stress of famine. 
It would be strange, moreover, if the Indian 
did not use the dog for food, as I have seen 
him eat nearly all the other Northern animals, 
including otter and marten. Between the In- 
dians and their dogs all the parts of an animal 
are consimied except the contents of entrails.

These are carefully withdrawn and hung out 
of reach of the dogs, and thereby much illness 
is avoided. At one of the more isolated Hud- 
son's Bay i)osts. where I visited a few years 
ago, the natives regularly had their medicine 
man hold a dog feast three times a year. .-\t 
these ceremonies, a dog was eaten, with the be- 
lief that a future life was thereby assured. 
Now, that .\laska and Siberia are being set- 
tled, there is a possibility in the North of a most 
interesting development of scientific breeding of 
sled dogs, either for work of for racing. The 
great annual sweepstakes dog race, held an- 
nuallx at Nome, has already done much to 
arouse a great and growing interest in them. I 
am told that the best sled dog is a cross be- 
tween a husky, on account of its endurance, and 
a fo.xhound, on account of its speed. Un- 
doubtedly, the pure gray wolf will always be 
used to maintain uniformity and to correctVe- 
\ ersionary tendency. 
Waterproof Matchsafe. 
Get a six-inch piece of the inner tube of an 
ordinary bicycle tire. You can procure this at 
any bicycle store, as they always have wornout 
tubes or pieces they will sell very cheaply. Put 
>our matches in this and tie up the ends and 
.vou have a light and waterproof safe. I use 
the parlor match ordinarily, but always carry 
a few blocks of sulphur matches in this form.
