The Famed © Brand :: QUALITY COUNTS and the ® Brand Means SHOOTING QUALITY 
Mr. Woolfolk Henderson, of Lexington, Ky., was the victor in each of these great races, and in all of them he used PETERS SHELLS, 
made with “steel where steel belongs.’’ His performance stands without a parallel; no individual shooter and no make of ammunition has 
ever before won ALL of the world s greatest trapshooting honors, a fact which in itself is a marvelous tribute to Mr. Henderson’s marks¬ 
manship and the QUALITY of his ammunition. But in addition to this he established a new WORLD’S AMATEUR RECORD, 98 out 
of 100 from 22 yards. 
MR. HENDERSON’S Scores Were As Follows; 
The Race of Champions for 
Amateur Championship of the United States, Single Targets, 99 ex 100 from 16 yds. 
Amateur Championship of the United States, Double Targets, 90 ex 100 from 16 yds. 
Grand American Handicap, 98 ex 100 from 22 yds. 
HIGH AVERAGE FOR ALL TARGETS, 565 x 600, Was Won by MR. S. A. HUNTLEY, Using PETERS SHELLS 
Including 200 from 22 yards, 200 from 18 yards, 100 from 16 yards and 50 pairs

erally been assumed that it was the extension of 
the range of the wild horse that brought it in 
contact with the various Indian tribes, and accom¬ 
plished its domestication. Inasmuch as the ani¬ 
mal was certaintly in the service of the northern 
Indians in the early part of the eighteenth cen¬ 
tury, at which time, it had probably not extended 
its range, in its wild state, beyond southern or 
central Texas, this view is clearly an error. With 
some tribes the utilization of the horse was of 
slow accomplishment, thus, according to Alex 
Henry, the Kootenays, described as a noble look¬ 
ing lot of men, had no horses when he visited 
them in 1811. The neighboring Piegans informed 
Geo. Bird Grinnell that they acquired them as 
late as 1804, and Prince Maximilian states that 
the Assimiboines and Crees in 1832 had but few 
horses compared with the tribes south of the 
boundary line.

BIRD BOOKS AND PICTURES. 
There is now on exhibition in the Scribner 
Gallery, at the rear of the store, a very interest¬ 
ing collection of bird plates and of hooks on 
birds. Between one and two hundred of the 
original Audubon folio plates have been secured. 
and they are being sold separately—a very un¬ 
usual opportunity for the collector in this line, 
for these plates, in the early issue, are very sel¬ 
dom met with except in complete sets, the cost of 
which is now almost prohibitive. There is also 
a large number of separate plates of the folio 
issue of the Audubon “Quadrupeds,” and a com¬ 
plete set of the Audubon “Birds,” in the first 
octavo issue, as well as a complete octavo set 
(later issue) of both the “Birds” and the 
“Quadrupeds,” in ten volumes. 
The Market Hunter. 
Another' important and very unusual item is 
a complete collection of the famous Gould pub¬ 
lications on birds, in forty-three handsomely 
bound folio volumes. This great wotk, which 
surpasses anything else of its kind in beauty and 
accuracy contains over three thousand magnifi¬ 
cent color plates, and deals with the birds of 
Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Guinea, as well 
as devoting many of its volumes to particular 
species, such as humming-birds, the American 
partridges and toucans. There are also three 
volumes on Australian mammals. 
As a supplement to the Audubon, and with it 
covering practically the whole of America, north 
of Mexico, is Wilson’s “American Ornithology,” 
of which there is a copy of the original folio 
issue in nine volumes. 
These three items alone give an authoritative 
survey of almost every species of bird in the 
world, and they are supplemented by many other 
items. The collection as a whole is intensely in¬ 
teresting to the ornithologist, the “amateur” 
lover of birds, and also to those who, while not 
interested particularly in birds, appreciate good 
pictures, for most of the plates, aside from their 
accuracy of detail, have high artistic merit. 
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE DOG.

surpass those of man and most other animals. 
He appears to have a special sense also by which 
he finds his way home directly and quickly, if 
liberated in a distant and unknown Locality. 
As previously stated, a dog has intelligence of 
a high order; and if the hiatus between his and 
man’s is still great, the difference is only in de¬ 
gree and not in kind.
