Game is on the wing! The first keen 
wind of autumn whistles a tune to the 
tramp, tramp, tramp of a care-free, can¬ 
vas-clad army taking the field—the Le- 
fever Shot Gun boys. 
Lefever Shot Guns 
THE GUNS OF LASTING FAME 
The Lefever has been the pioneer in every sound 
improvement in double barrel shot guns for nearly 
half a century. In compensating features, in dur¬ 
ability, style, finish, balance and simplicity, or in 
general all-round shooting qualities it has no equal. 
Any man who owns a Lefever will be proud to 
show it to you and explain its advantages. Send us 
a postal for the beautiful new Lefever Gun Book, 
which tells all about gun making—something you 
ought to understand before you buy a gun.

SQUIRRELS IN A CITY PARK. 
Saginaw, Mich., tried hard to induce a num¬ 
ber of fox squirrels to make their home in the 
city park. That the experiment has proved suc¬ 
cessful will be seen in the following, taken from 
a Saginaw paper of recent date. 
Irate citizens whose ripening pears prove 
sometimes altogether too enticing to the little 
fox squirrels of the city, seem to think that 
one of the ducks of the board of park com¬ 
missioners is to chase squirrels out of their 
trees. This is error—the park commissioners 
do not find anywhere in the ordinances anything 
that contemplates their acting as squirrel 
eradicators. They are glad to be sorry that the 
squirrels annoy anybody, and all that, and ex¬ 
tend assurances of deepest sympathy, but they 
absolutely refuse to chase squirrels. It is no 
part of their job, they say. In fact, they totally 
refuse to be responsible for the squirrels or for 
their manners or morals; so far as they are 
officially concerned they don’t even know that 
there are any squirrels; they didn’t bring them 
here, do not keep them here and therefore are 
not concerned with getting them out of here as 
suggested. 
All this officially of course. Personally, how¬ 
ever, they are concerned and interested, for the 
reason that individually they have been im¬ 
portuned, solicited, urged, ordered, directed, 
cajoled, begged, threatened, reviled, insulted, 
wheedled and even sworn at by citizens with 
fruit trees that have symptoms of bearing fruit 
and who are helpless to stay the depredations 
of contumacious and impudent squirrels. One 
of the commissioners has been got out of bed 
at daybreak by a telephone call for help that 
refused to be denied. Another has laid himself
