Providence, R I.—The trading fever has struck our 
punch lately, and as a result several new weapons are 
m evidence, and more coming. Argus, who was always 
a lover of Miss .45, is now plowing through the air 
w !’]} a , ' ron J ler mode! with 4%in. barrel, and does better 
Viith that than he ever did with the New Service mili¬ 
tary model. 
The last remaining maverick in the bunch is now 
branded with the Colt mark and doing his best to 
break in a 7y 2 in. officer’s model, which seems just as 
determined not to be broken in. 
The other night,_ Geo. Joslin started to shoot a box 
ot .actory 32 long in his new pocket gun, and of all the 
farces of factory full loads, this was the worst we have 
ever seen Out of fifty rounds about half rolled down 
the alley along the floor, and one or two had just power 
enough to dent the pasteboard and then fall to the floor. 
Had these been target loads it would have seemed bad 
.enough; but to have full loads turn out so poor, reflects 
unfavorably on the makers, and stamns their goods as 
unreliable. In an emergency they would be useless.

E VFRY time you depart from true fundamental principles you lose—lose the time and tem¬ 
per, suffer the wear and tear of working your way back to base. Every perfection in me¬ 
chanics is the result of applying a “fundamental.” But the man who applies it first gets a 
patent. The other fellows have to rig up a “contrivance.” 
The best evidence of “fundamentals” is simplicity. The Lefever Shot Gun 
has from 15 to 25 fewer parts than any other shot gun. Only three pieces foi 
firing, extracting and cocking. The Lefever is the climax of shot gun simplic¬ 
ity—free from old-time mechanisms, complicated with “improvements.” 
Lefever Shot Gun 
Our catalogue will tell you of barrel rigidity and take-up unequalled in 
any other gun. It tells about steel in these guns which is an honor 
to the names of Europe’s great steel makers—not a discredit 
It also tells about taper boring and other things you must 
know if you are to invest your money right. It is a 
catalogue worth sending for.

“Rapid Loader Co. —Gentlemen: I lost my Rapid Loader and my rabbit foot at the same time. 
With the Loader I could keep the boys with the repeater guns on the jump. I used it in Dakota, 
duck shooting, and my word for it I saved duck after duck that was crippled and would have been 
otherwise lost; it is the greatest invention since the hammerless gun camo out. Use this if you want 
to as advertising matter. I shoot six months each year, and am known as ‘Pink Edge’ in Forest
