Rifle Note. 
The wonderful performance of Mrs. Adolph Topperwein 
at San Antonio, Tex., on Dec. 13, shows well sustained 
effort, and ranks high with her previous high perform¬ 
ances. Shooting at 2060, 2)4m. wooden blocks, thrown 
in the air, she scored 1995, of which 1437 were a straight 
run. 
PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
The 1909 calendar of the Horton Manufacturing Com¬ 
pany, of Bristol, Conn., is a handsome example of color 
printing. It is a reproduction from a painting made 
for the purpose, and depicts a couple in a birch bark 
canoe, the young lady in the bow very much engrossed 
in playing a big~ bass on a Bristol steel rod. A limited 
edition only was printed, and in order to obtain one of 
these beautiful calendars it will be necessary for in¬ 
dividuals to enclose 15 cents with the request for a 
calendar. 
QUESTIONABLE SPORT. 
W. H. Roeser, the well-known Tulsa oil 
magnate, and the owner of a variety of auto¬ 
mobiles, had a unique experience Friday while 
on a tour inspecting his Bald Hill and other 
Okmulgee productions, says the Tulsa (O. T.) 
World. While driving across the Stone bluff 
divide a big buck sprang up by the side of the 
road and started down the line ahead. Roeser, 
who was driving, loosened up on the speed as 
the buck seemed inclined to keep in the road, 
and, in a few seconds deer and motor car were 
out of the timber and on the prairie, where the 
real chase began. For about two hundred 
yards the buck kept a straight course and then 
made a turn to get out of the way, but Roeser, 
in spite of the fearful speed at which the big 
car was going, yelled to the other occupants to 
swing out on the side of the car for balance 
and hugged the pole and made the turn and in 
a few seconds was on the deer again. 
Across the prairie, back and forth, round and 
round, the chase continued until several times 
the machine brushed the buck’s quarters and, 
but for being compelled to hold on, the occu¬ 
pants of the car might have grabbed his horns. 
Suddenly the deer whirled and for a few 
moments a wreck was imminent, but with a 
swerve Roeser missed a collision. By reason 
of this maneuver the deer gained a cover of 
timber on a rocky hillside and put an end to the 
chase. 
Speaking of the run, a member of the party 
declared he wouldn’t take a thousand dollars 
for the hair raising experience of the chase, but 
wouldn’t be in another one like it for all the 
oil wells in the Glenn pool. “And,” he added, 
“I’d give a hundred dollars for a kodak picture 
of Billy Roeser as he looked driving that car. 
Fie had a determined look on his face like he 
was about to see a 1,000-barrel gusher come in, 
utterly oblivious to the possibility of sending 
us all to the happy hunting grounds.” 
LEFEVER 
SHOT-GUNS 
These are the Days!

outline, better balance, and less parts than other guns. They are the best shooting guns in the world. 
With a Lefever gun the shooter knows that he is doing his best. It does not balk at critical 
moments. It is the most carefully constructed gun in the market. The exclusive advantages 
are fully explained in our beautiful catalog, which we will send on request. 
Strong, three-part action ; compensated at breech and hinge joint; taper bored and target tested ; the 
finest steel: America's finest workmanship. All Lefever shot-guns are high grade—$28 to 3>l,UUO. 
Any sporting goods dealer will vouch for a Lefever gun.
