For shooting the swift flying, heavily feathefed_duck s 
geese the Tar/ifl 12-gauge repeating shotgun has no superior. 
This gun is exceedingly strong in construction and yet .is not heavy. It is 
bored to throw an excellent pattern with great penetration. The solid top 
keeps out the weather and the brush and twigs of the blind, and the side ejector 
prevents the empty shells from being a nuisance to the shooter. It s the best 
bad weather gun. 
The TTZar/i/i 12-gauge is suited to all forrrs of bird and trap shooting, 
and for durability, strength and ease of action is unexcelled. Made for both 
black and smokeless powders and for heavy loads . Two separate extractors 
make sure work. 
The 7/lar/in Experience Book is full of real shooting stones.

One block above Brooklyn Bridge 
New York City 
is detected, it gives timely warning to the bulky 
quadruped. Another remarkable example of a 
bird acting in the capacity of a sentinal is to 
be found in connction with the white rhinoceros. 
We cannot do better than quote the manner in 
which H. Anderson Bryden alludes to it in his 
interesting book, “Nature and Sport in South 
Africa” : 
“Stupid, sleepy, short-sighted and easily ap¬ 
proached as were these rhinoceroses in the golden 
days of South African sport, they yet had in 
addition to their own keen powers of scei\t a 
very constant ally and friend—a friend, too, al¬ 
most always in attendance upon its congener, 
the black rhinoceros. This was the well-known 
rhinoceros-bird, a starling that frequently accom¬ 
panies this gigantic mammal, as well as buffalo 
and domestic cattle, in small flocks for the sake 
of ticks and other parasites that infest them. 
They undoubtedly warn the rhinoceros when 
danger approaches, by alighting on his head or 
back, striking him with their bills and uttering 
sharp cries—warnings that are never neglected. 
Many a dull beast has been saved in this way 
by the timely admonition of these feathered 
friends.”—The Asian. 
OKLAHOMA’S EAGLE. 
On Dec. 15, 1905, a golden eagle soaring high 
in the clear, crisp air of Western Oklahoma de¬ 
scended on the ranch of a farmer seven miles 
northwest of Woodward and was caught by both 
feet separately in two steel traps that had been 
set for coyotes. From the wing of this eagle 
was taken the quill with which President Roose¬ 
velt signed the bill giving Statehood to Okla¬ 
homa and Indian Territory. The body of this 
eagle, which died after a period of captivity, 
was mounted by Prof. George Stevens, of the 
Northwestern Normal School, in Alva, and will 
be preserved for historical purposes under the 
name “Old Statehood.” 
When the delegation of 150 citizens of Okla¬ 
homa and Indian Territory, carrying the “razor- 
back” hog, went to Washington last winter to 
boom Statehood, Charles Hunter, a Rough 
Rider sergeant under Col. Roosevelt in the 
Spanish-American war, and now Clerk of the 
Court in the Oklahoma City district, asked: 
“President Roosevelt, to whom are you going 
to give the Statehood pen?” President Roosevelt 
said: “Charley, you shall have the pen. Mr. 
Loeb, make a note that Charles Hunter gets the 
pen with which the Statehood bill is signed."

“I have on an average about five or six guns a day to 
clean and find the Stonoil superior to anything I have 
ever used. It cuts the film deposited by nitro powder 
on inside of gun and rifle barrels almost instantly, 
leaving them bright and clean.”
