Unilke most new luxuries the Remington Autoloading Shot Gun is within the reach of the 
moderate purse. It has the well-known Remington pattern and penetration. Without the punish¬ 
ing “kick,” and with the New Autoloading System, which requires the shooter only to pull 
and release the trigger for each shot, the Remington Autoloading Shot Gun represents more 
pleasure and less worry than any other gun on the market. The solid breech secures absolute 
safety. 
The recoil loads the gun. Lift "Price $4-0. Liberal dealers' discount.

where the first animal fired at fell, and there, 
sure enough, lay—great heavens! a dead cow! 
A short distance off lay another stone dead, and 
all of a heap, in the bottom of the ravine, the 
third, all as dead as dead could be. Imagine my 
feelings! If they had been bears I suppose I 
should have missed instead of killing all three. 
The shikaris were in despair, while the watcher, 
the origin of the disaster, the original finder of 
“the bears,” simply wept with freight. Person¬ 
ally I was very angry with myself, though all 
the same anyone might have been deceived. Fre¬ 
quently bears were in the crops at night, and no 
one would ever have dreamed of cows being 
there, for at sunset they are always locked up on 
account of wild beasts. The firing had roused 
the village—now for the bobbery. Up rushed a 
lad in a frantic state of grief, saying he had for¬ 
gotten over night to secure the door of. his 
mother’s cow house; they had strayed into the 
Indian corn, and were those I had killed. Next 
the old lady herself appeared upon the scene, 
howling as if she was never going to stop—her 
three little cows she had had ever since they 
were “batchas” (young ones) ; all she possessed, 
so on, so on. However, I told her to stop cry¬ 
ing, and I would get other cows for her; that I 
would pay her whatever she liked to value them 
at. Marvellous the effect this had. 
It was best to settle the matter at once, so I 
told the luntbedar (head man) of the village to 
talk the matter over with the woman, and fix the 
price I was to pay for my evening’s shooting, 
which, after much consultation, they did at 
Rs. 21 ! Not a large sum, considerably less than 
£2; but the cow of the Indian hills is a miser¬ 
able little beast, not much larger than an ordi¬ 
nary English calf. Went to my tent, got the 
rupees, paid the woman, and said how sorry I 
was at the mishap, then turned in again, for it 
was still some hours to daylight, and tried to 
imagine the whole business an unpleasant dream. 
Moral.—Never under any circumstances fire by 
night, or at any time, at anything unless you are 
absolutely certain what it is.—H. R. K. in Lon¬ 
don Field. 
As old Bob S. was out hunting one day he saw 
a flock of ducks settle in a small pond hole not far 
away. To call the dog in to heel and creep with¬ 
in shot of the fowl was the work of but a few 
minutes. To use his own words: “I got within 
easy range and gave them the right barrel, and 
killed five. .The dog retrieved them all five and 
the rest of the bunch flew away. When I got 
homfe and told Bill, my brother, what a nice shot 
I had, and how many I killed, all he said was, 
‘Bob, why in thunder didn’t you give them the 
other barrel?’ Says I, ‘Bill, I never thought of 
it.’ ” D.

Keeper—“Na, na. But that’s the last o’ yer

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This -rompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the forms 
of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effec¬ 
tive with others.
