GUNNER GUMPTION’S 
LANTERN LECTURETTES ON 
GREENER GUNS 
The Greener Facile Princeps Action .—“Facile 
Princeps" is a Latin phrase meaning ‘Easily First,’ and no 
better name could have been chosen for a gun that has 
been winning the principal shooting events of the World 
for three generations. The ‘Facile Princeps’ is easily Erst 
for strength, reliabihty and simplicity. The lockwork con¬ 
sists of a hammer, a scear, a lifter and a spring, the weight 
of the barrel cocks the tumbler, everything works smgothly with 
the minimum of friction, and the striker is just a fraction of a 
second quicker in its blow than «my other type of mechanism; this 
point alone should be sufficient to 'secure its adoptio;i by the man 
who knows. 
Have you ever calculated how fast a bird travels ? If instead of 
being able to pull the trigger (t e. fire the cartridge) in 1 -200th of a 
second, you need 3-1 OOths of a second, the bird will have flown 16 
inches further. Think this over, it may account 
for some of those ‘lost’ birds. 
The ■' Box" action of the “ Facile 
Princeps ’ gun is perfectly watertight, 
yet easily get-at-able for cleaning pur¬ 
poses, only one screw has to be re¬ 
moved to expose the lock mechanism. 
Look at the drawing, its simph'city 
cannot fail to convince you that the 
"Greener" is the best.

BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON—OR BY THE 
LIGHT OF THE SUN FOR THAT MATTER. 
The Stevens havorite No. 17 (.22 cal.) is the one that will bring down the game if you keep up the aim. 
You do your part—aim straight and pull the trigger when your sight is on the mark and the Favorite j 
will send the bullet straight as a die. 
The Stevens Favorite is a good little gun for your own use. And it’s just the thing for a growing boy 
to teach him reliance and coolness and to give him a keen eyesight and a steady nerve.
