PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
Parker Brothers, Meriden, Conn., take a just pride in 
the sterling excellence of their guns, every part being 
made with conscientious perfection, whether visible to 
the eye in the complete gun or otherwise. They pro¬ 
duce guns so well made and enduring that the boy who 
starts m using a Parker gun all his life, may bequeath 
It to his son, who in turn may bequeath it to his son, 
the gun holding its own unimpaired through the gen¬ 
erations. Write for descriptive catalogue, giving full 
information about their guns and other subjects of 
value. 
^ The Hunter Arms Co., Fulton, N. Y., can justly re¬ 
joice at the ever increasing popularity of their sterling 
guns, of various grades and styles. In particular, the 
extraordinary increase and use of their one-trigger guns 
was conspicuously in evidence at recent tournaments, 
ten out of thirty-one contestants using at the tournament 
of the Spokane, Wash., Gun Club, Dec. 8 and 9, four 
others thereat using the Smith double triggers. First 
high average was made by E. J. Chingreen, a 95.75 per 
cent, performance, with the one-trigger, while second 
high average was made by F. K. Brown, with the Smith 
^o-trigger. The personal care and attention which the 
Hunter Arms Co. bestows on the manufacture of the 
Smith guns is recognized and appreciated by shooters 
everywhere. Catalogues will be promptly sent on ap¬ 
plication to the Hunter Arms Co. 
RECORD SALMON. 
The last of the salmon angling closed on Nov. 
30, and Tweed fishermen have had a very poor 
“back-end” sport. The same is true of other 
late rivers of Scotland and Ireland, there being 
insufficient rain to bring up those heavy fish 
which usually fall to the rod during the last 
few weeks of the season. Sport among the king 
of fishes proved disappointing, and the scarcity 
of grilse was a source of general complaint. 
These gamesorne young salmon, which average 
six pounds apiece, are splendid fighters when 
hooked on light_ tackle, but they are not free 
risers to the artificial fly. Now and again you 
may strike a red-letter day when a shoal of 
these fish, fresh up from the sea, yield a record 
bag. But, alas! such days are few and far be¬ 
tween. Nothing notable in the shape of big 
salmon has been recorded during 1908, and the 
number of fish over forty pounds bears very 
unfavorable comparison with the score for 1907. 
The question is being frequently asked, “What 
IS the record weight of the largest salmon ever 
caught in the United Kingdom?” Frank Buck- 
land has left on record a seventy pound salmon, 
weighed by him in London, and there has been 
nothing approaching such a weight recorded 
since. A good sixty-one and a half-pounder 
caught by worm in the Tay takes second place 
in our “records’’ of big salmon taken with rod 
and line. Nets in the estuaries get most of the 
big fish, but the above weights have not been 
beaten by the netsmen. There is a slump in the 
salmon fishing market by reason of the poor 
scores rnade on many of the best waters within 
the United Kingdom.—Sporting and Dramatic 
News. 
CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD 
GREAT VICTORIES WON 
T he LEFEVER shot gun has added another Year 
of Victories. The Championship of the World won 
at the Olympic Games, London, England, heads the 
list of 1908 Lefever victories. This will remind you that 
the highest award over the whole world’s guns was made 
to the Lefever at St. Louis. 
The roll of Lefever victories in 1908 and for years past 
should convince you beyond a doubt that all we have claimed for the wonderful, simple mechanism of the 
LEFEVER SHOT GUN 
is true—that this is the premier shot gun of the world to-day. The same mechanism and materials are in 
the lock of a ^28 Lefever that are in a $1000 Lefever. In all grades the barrels are bored uniformly true, 
they lap as far, and hold as tight at hinge and fastener. 
When you examine a Lefever at a store you will see—and see very plainly—why this shot gun. has for years been winning 
hundreds of championships—international, national state and club championships. Whether you want to shoot at the trap or in 
the fields, marshes and brush—theonly gun which assuresyou the best results, by |)rov(»u test, is the Lefever. 
You will buy a Lefever. and no other, if you take the trouble to'examine one and compare it with others. It is to your interest 
to do this. Our catalogue points out 11 structural and mechanical advantages—all of them exclusive. You will receive a copy in a day 
or two if you write now. It is worth sending for,

be a PARKER. Why? Because it is generally 
found in the hands of the best shooters—men 
who know a good gun and will buy no other.

Ny Life As Ai\ Indian 
% 
All That the Title Implies and More 
Probably the most faithful picture of Indian 
life ever drawn from the pen of a man who 
spent years among the Blackfeet, marrying into 
the tribe and becoming to all practical intents 
an Indian. 
Mr. Schultz tells of the life of the plains In¬ 
dian, when war and hunting were the occupations 
of every man, when the buffalo still covered the 
prairie, and the Indian was as yet little touched 
by contact with civilization. He describes as one 
who has lived the life, the daily routine of the 
great camp, the lives of the men and women, 
the gambling, the quarreling, the love making, 
the wars, the trading of the Indians. 
The narrative is full of intense human in¬ 
terest, and the requisite touch of romance is 
supplied in the character of Nat-ah-ki, the beau¬ 
tiful Indian girl, who became the author’s wife.
