R. H . is destructive because it shoots where you aim. The great 
speed, accuracy and penetration are due to the R. H. “progressive 
combustion” smokeless powders. The entire energy is forward. No 
waste force in kick; no reduced speed because of gun-barrel friction, as 
with the “explosive” powders.

will be a revelation to you. It demands a trial by you. It will quickly prove what we claim. 
Take some R. H. along with you next time you carry your gun. You’ll find it a good com¬ 
panion and a helping hand in the task of filling your game bag. 
All dealers who sell R. H. can tell you of the friends it is making. Free booklet “Our 
Shell Game” gives the full story. Send for it.

The Cry of the Dreamer. 
I am tired of planning and toiling 
In the crowded haunts of men; 
Heart-wearv of building and spoiling, 
And spoiling and building again; 
And I long for the dear old river 
Where I dreamed my life away; 
For a dreamer lives forever, 
And a toiler dies in a day. 
I can find no pride, but pity, 
For the burdens the rich endure; 
There is nothing sweet in the city 
But the patient lives of the poor, 
Oh, the little hands too skillful, 
And the child-mind choked with weeds! 
The daughter’s heart grown willful. 
And the father’s heart that bleeds! 
No, no! from the street’s rude bustle, 
. From the trophies of mart and stage, 
I would fly to the woods’ low rustle 
And the meadow’s kindly page. 
Let me dream, as of old, by the river, 
And be loved for the dream alway; 
For a dreamer lives forever, 
And the toiler dies in a day. 
—John Boyle O’Reilly. 
Little bank roll, ere we part. 
Let me hold you to my heart; 
All the year I’ve clung to you, 
I’ve been faithful, you’ve been true; 
Little hank roll, in a day 
You and I will start away 
To a gay and festive spot; 
I’ll come home, but you will not. 
—Detroit Free Press. 
CANOEING DOWN THE RAMAPO RIVER.

as your arm, and there we stuck. We tried to 
tilt the canoe with our bodies so that the force 
of the water could rush underneath, but we 
had nothing to brace on, and soon the canoe 
slowly, slowly turned until the up-stream gun¬ 
wale began to dip, and with that she gave a 
Hip and disappeared. I yelled to Pete to skin 
up the tree and save himself, and did the same 
thing myself, but the branch I was on broke, 
and I just grabbed the trunk in time to swing 
up on to it, and when I looked for the canoe, 
there she was tumbling and twisting under three 
feet of water, held by the branches. Pete was 
in the head of the tree where the branches were 
not strong enough to hold him, and he began 
sliding from one to the other until he was right 
over the water, and finally he dropped in and 
scrambled to shore. Henny and Spenner had 
landed in the meantime, and Henny came run¬ 
ning up the trunk of the tree beside me yelling, 
“Where’s the canoe?” and I pointed it out to 
him. We thought of skinning down the branch 
and trying to loosen the good ship with our 
feet, but with a crack like a gun, one of the 
branches broke, and away went La Chelito,
