tryman who did so much to help make 
a success of the breechloading principle 
in firearms and received so little recog- 
nition for his work, it is no more than 
common justice to follow Sawyer’s ex- 
ample and hereafter refer to this most 
excellent weapon as the Peabody-Mar-

CAMPING WITH A 
CAR 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 123 
ing. The outer end of this iron strip 
is supported by an upright piece of 
wood, along the center of which is 
drilled a number of holes. This makes 
it possible to bring the bed to a level 
position, regardless of the slope of the 
hill upon which the bed is to be made. 
The canvas of the bed is fastened firmly 
to the head angle iron. The foot angle 
iron extends from the upright stake 
across the running-board, continuing 
below it and fastening to a bolt which 
has been attached to the forward run- 
ning-board brace. 
To the foot end of the bed canvas a 
small iron rod has been sewed with- 
out securing the end to the angle iron. 
The canvas naturally stretches when 
used, and in order to take this up, a 
rope lacing has been run between the 
rod at the foot end of the canvas and 
the foot angle iron. To prevent the 
outer corners of the bed from falling 
inward when someone lies upon it, guy 
wires have been strung from the outer 
ends of the angle irons, one being fast- 
ened to the front and the other to the 
rear springs. This applies to the bed, 
it goes without saying, on either side 
of the car. 
The tent is even more simple in' design 
than the bed. The only fastening 
to be done to this is to pass half a dozen 
loops in the top of the canvas over as 
many curtain buttons beneath the top 
of the car, the outer corners of the tent 
being upheld by the uprights which sup- 
port the outer ends of the angle irons. 
The tent over each bed reaches to the 
ground all around, there being a slit 
which drops in a convenient fashion over 
each guy wire. 
On our trip the party encountered very 
heavy rains a number of times and one 
severe snowstorm; but the waterproof 
tents and the elevated beds afforded 
perfect safety from the moisture, and 
warm clothing and blankets protection 
from the cold. A small wooden case in 
which to put the outfit was constructed 
and fastened to the running-board. This 
protected it from mud and water on the 
road, and you will find both in winter 
travel. 
You may believe that such a trip does 
much to dissipate ancient notions about 
draughts and catching cold. It changed 
all of our ideas about heating the house 
after we returned. We learned, and 
have never unlearned, that there has 
been too much furnace. One such ex- 
perience is a start to new health.

Save Your 
Allowance and Buy a Stevens 
D ID you ever slyoot ? Not an air rifle or some 
make-believe weapon — but a regular rifle 
that will hit the mark — that is built to last 
—that will make anybody proud to own— A Stevens. 
Winter or summer, indoors or out, the boy with 
a Stevens’ Rifle always has fun. 
And it doesn’t cost much either, because Stevens’ 
Rifles are priced so that every fellow can buy one. 
Just save part of your allowance every week for a 
while. Then go to your father. Show him your 
savings and he’ll probably be glad to make up the 
difference, and you’ll have a rifle of your own in 
a short time. 
That’s why “Stevens for boys” has long been a 
tradition, and fathers prefer to start their sons with 
a Stevens.
