PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
Profit-Sharing by 3-In-One Oil Co. 
Last Christmas, following an established custom the 
3-In-One Oil Co. distributed a share of its profits with 
its employees. All of the employees at the factory at 
Rahway, N. J., received a Christmas plum in the form 
of cash at the rate of 6 per cent, of their annual salary. 
While there are many millions of people all over the 
world who swear by 3-In-One, there are no more en¬ 
thusiastic believers in it than the actual workers in the 
factory who make it, bottle it and get it in shape for the 
market. 
The Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Mfg. Co., Hartford, 
Conn., call attention, in our business columns, to the 
many points of sterling exeellence which are components 
of their repeating pistols and revolvers, from the new 
.25cal. automatic, so small that it can conveniently be 
carried in the vest pocket, up to the various sizes 
and models of pocket, holster, house and target 
revolvers, all of which are fully illustrated and 
described in the Colt new catalogue No. 12 re¬ 
cently Issued, which will be sent free to applicants. 
As is well-known, this make ' of revolver held a con¬ 
spicuous place in army and pioneer life, in the ’50s. 
Many thrilling episodes and descriptions of its use and 
efficiency were recounted in Forest and Stream three 
or four years ago. Vl'ith each passing year it has won 
greater public approval. 
Cigarette smokers, whether they roll their own cigarettes 
or not, will be interested in the automatic cigarette 
machine advertised in another column. It is said to be 
small, light and effective, making in a few moments 
cigarettes enough to last all day. We wonder how this 
machine would appeal to the broncho buster, who used 
to take out his “makin’s” and to roll his cigarette while 
the horse was pitching. The device is manufactured by 
Esrich Mfg. Co., 28 E. Twenty-third street. Dept. 31, 
New York. 
ANIMAL FABLES. 
Many centuries ago, before nature-faking was 
made a misdemeanor, it was seriously stated and 
generally believed that the porcupine, when fret¬ 
ful, sat up and threw its quills at its assailants. 
Another fable gave to the mysterious basilisk 
the power of killing with one glance of its 
“death-dealing eye.” Outside the realm of fancy 
exists the fact that certain brown hill-monkeys 
throw stones at people who annoy them. This, 
however, is not an instinct of the race. Mon¬ 
keys are imitative. They picked up the habit— 
and the stones—after observing the actions of 
the mountaineers, who first pelted them. But 
among our native fauna there is a little animal 
well furnished for carrying on offensive war¬ 
fare at a distance. The common skunk, with 
his bag of evil-smelling fluid, is a slinger and 
carried a “stink-pot” long before the Chinese 
invented that nauseating weapon of their war¬ 
fare. If he used it for defiance, and not merely 
for defense, the woods would be unsafe places 
about nightfall. Mephitis is serenely conscious 
of the offensive power he holds in reserve. He 
walks the woods indifferently, one notices, even 
in the presence of the general enemy, knowing 
that nine men out o'f ten will yield him the right 
of way.—British Sportsman. 
PHEASANT KILLING WITH AIR GUNS. 
It was at a general table in a city restaurant. 
One man was eating a pheasant. Presently he 
dropped something on his plate and asked: 
“What do you think of that?” “Shot?” one 
of the other diners inquired. “Shot! No; a 
bullet, an air-gun bullet,” the pheasant eater 
answered. “Do sportsmen use air-guns nowa¬ 
days?” another diner asked. “No, sir,” replied 
the pheasant eater, scornfully; “sportsmen do 
not, but poachers do.” And for the informa¬ 
tion of the company he explained that on dark 
winter afternoons, especially when there is a 
light fog to screen their movements, poachers 
“mark” pheasants to their roosting places and 
bring them down with air-guns. An air-gun 
makes very little noise when it “goes off.”—
