THE REMINGTON GUNS WHICH WON THE HIGHEST HONORS OF 1906 
MR. W. H. HEER used the two above REMINGTON Guns—“C. E. O.” and “F. E.” grades—exclusively during the year 
1906, when he won the HIGHEST YEARLY AVERAGE by breaking 96.3% out of 14,055 targets shot at—a wonderful 
test of skill and gun quality. It is the highest year’s score ever made by any two guns.

poacher ‘‘never throve” thereafter! There could 
be no doubt of the cause of death, for did not 
the old woman who dressed the corpse see the 
jj gunshot wound ? One gladly turns to the anec¬ 
dote of the farmer who took a walk in his 
turnip field with his gun of an evening. In the 
uncertain light he saw something which he took 
for a deer, and so had his weapon ready. He 
was about to fire as the object moved—and there 
was a neighboring crofter’s wife stealing his 
turnips! 
j One of the most ancient and general Gaelic 
superstitions in connection with deer has been 
beautifully told in verse: 
H 
There oft is heard at midnight, or at noon, 
Beginning faint, but rising still more loud 
And nearer, voice of hunters, and of hounds, 
And horns hoarse-winded, blowing far and keen; 
Forthwith the hubbub multiplies, the gale 
Labors with wilder shrieks, and riper din 
Of hot pursuit; the broken cry of deer, 
Mangled by throttling hounds; the shouts of men, 
And hoofs thick beating on the hollow hill. 
—The County Gentleman. 
GUN WADS IN THE FLESH OF A 
PHEASANT. 
I send herewith the wing of a pheasant. My 
j son tvhen he was eating it found it very hard 
to cut, and then observed two gun wads em- 
! bedded in the flesh. If you fit the piece of skin 
which he cut off over the wads there appears to 
be no hole for them to penetrate. On careful 
i examination you will also find that a part of a 
large wing feather has been carried into the 
wounds, and one or two shots. It looks as if 
the wads had gone into the bird some time ago, 
and the skin healed over the wound. I never 
I saw wads in game before without the game being- 
smashed, and think it rather a remarkable in- 
; stance which might interest some of your readers. 
[ What I should like to know is whether the in¬ 
jury is an old wound or occurred at time of 
death, and whether the shots which appear to 
have stuck to the wads would be the cause of 
the wads penetrating. C. E. Morris Eyre. 
[The case is rather doubtful, the bird not being 
1 examined in a fresh state; but if the injury was 
( recent the skin would have shown the wound 
through which the wads entered. On the other 
hand, it is difficult to imagine that they should 
, have remained under the skin without causing 
J suppuration.— Editor.] —The Field.

the amateur gunner. “Yes,” replied the guide, 
“I’ll be ready just as soon as I can borrow a 
i dog.” “Why, where’s your own dogs? What 
has happened to them?” “Nothing, and I mean 
to see nothing shall.”—Philadelphia Press.
