No Shortcomings 
The Smith Gun has no shortcomings—not one. The 6 Hunter 
brothers, with inventions, precision, workmanship and experience, 
kept after shot gun shortcomings for 22 years, until they had wiped 
out the last and least important one. 
“6 Times 22 Years Experience” gives the shooter of a Smith 
Gun the fullest possible pleasure in the field, and the maximum 
game in his bag.

“ Stories of Some Shoots” 
Bv James A. Drain. 
Hear what an English Publication says: 
“ ‘Stories of Some Shoots’ is a book of Shooting 
experiences which comes near to being the best 
account of Scotch conditions of sport which has 
ever been put into print. The American picturesque 
style of narrative wonderfully well suits the con¬ 
veyance of ideas as to how tile scenery and sport¬ 
ing methods of North Britain strike a traveled and 
observant sportsman; * * * in no book have 
the toils and ardours and excitements of deer¬ 
stalking and general shooting been better con¬ 
veyed to the mind of the reader.”

ROD AND GUN ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI 
Continued from page 488. 
Saturday in Louisiana we saw within two hours 
five hundred shells sold to negroes. This means 
something, and with the high water of the past 
spring means more than ever to the shooters 
who pursue this bird in the lower Mississippi 
country. 
Sugar mills and their tall belching stacks 
now became a common sight. The banks of the 
river behind the high levees for a day’s travel 
above New Orleans seemed to have been peopled 
and tilled for hundreds of years, as indeed it has. 
Schools and colleges and churches and little store 
centers fairly lined the banks, and game was seen 
no more, having made for more primitive coun¬ 
try on the Gulf coast. And with the thickening 
of the settlements, the greater number of steam¬ 
ers hauling molasses and sugar and cotton to the 
southern metropolis, we began to understand that 
our trip down the artery of a continent was 
over. We had seen more game and fish than 
ever before, and more of it lawlessly slaughtered. 
The cruiser had housed and cared for us 
well. Many boats that were unsuited to the big 
conditions and furious hanging of the lower river 
had been put out of the running at many points 
from Memphis downward. Yet we, land crabs 
that we were, had by some grains of common 
sense and a bit of daring made the trip with¬ 
out any unseemly experiences and voted it a 
success.

ISLAND BIG GAME OF THE NORTH 
PACIFIC. 
Continued from page 490. 
Island in 1909, the author was accompanied by 
Mrs. Sheldon, who faced with fine courage the 
hard work of mountain climbing and the extra¬ 
ordinary discomforts of an Alaska autumn, and 
proved herself an able and cheerful comrade. 
A number of hears were seen near the shore 
and near the salmon rivers, but the weather was 
extremely unpropitious for hunting, and while 
Mrs. Sheldon had more than one shot at bears, 
none were secured. 
In this section of the book much is told 
about the ways of the salmon, the birds, the 
deer and the bears. The birds were beginning 
to migrate, the deer to rut, and when there 
was a bright fair day, it was a joy to be abroad. 
Mr. Sheldon recommends Admiralty Island 
as offering attractions for bear hunting, more 
than most islands on the Alaska coast, but 
points out that autumn is not the time to hunt 
bears as is the spring. Yet autumn has its at¬ 
tractions. 
“To be sure, it is a wonderful sight to see 
the huge bear suddenly appear on the bank of 
a creek swiftly flowing through the great forest, 
while the salmon fight and splash and the gulls 
scream in plaintive voices as they hover about 
the pools. To see the hear leap into the 
rapids, sweep out a salmon with its paw, and 
retire silently into the wood to make its feast
