IN THE BLIND 
Ducks flying sky-high and cyclone swift—that is 
when the Lefever shot gun talks business. You 
don t feel cheap. Every time you shoot there’s 
something doing. When the other fellows see you 
raking them down out of the clouds they think you 
are having wonderful luck. But it is a good gun 
and good aim that does it. Same way with traps.

FIFTY YEARS A TRAPPER. 
A MAN who has spent fifty years as a trapper

Baker drifted in a rude boat to East Atchison 
a few days ago and pitched his tent on the 
bank of the Missouri River to rest on his 
journey. He came from the Nodaway River 
up in northwestern Missouri, where he finished 
the trapping season last spring. 
The home of Baker is a small wall tent which 
contains a monkey stove, two or three grub 
boxes, a tarpaulin and blankets for a bed and 
his guns, traps, oars, etc. He was born sixty- 
eight years ago near Ithaca, N. Y. Formerly 
he worked in the big sawmills as a filer during 
the summer months and followed his natural 
bent as trapper during the winter. Thus he 
raised four daughters and saw them happily 
married. 
His wife died fifteen years ago. Sickness 
came his way and he went to the home of a 
daughter in New York for care and treatment, 
but the great city was more lonely than the 
woods and the sick man grew worse. 
‘Eight years ago I was dying,” he said 
reminiscently, “but I felt that I would get 
better out in the great Northwest, where you 
can get close to nature. So I told my daughter 
1 was going to leave, but that I did not know 
where I would go.” 
Then he went to Montana. At Fort Benton 
tie bought an outfit and has been trapping ever

Life and Sport in Labrador 
NAPOLEON A. COMEAU 
In Life and Sport on the North Shore of the Lower St. Lawrence 
and Gulf,” Mr. Comeau has made a valuable addition to the literature of 
rod and rifle and more. It is a book of engrossing personal interest to the 
sportsman or general reader, and of rare value to the student of wild life. 
The author describes the events and experiences of 50 years spent in 
the cause of humanity and science in one of the most interesting and least 
known sections of Canada. He writes as one sportsman to his fellows, 
detailing his experiences with the wild things of wood, shore and sea, with 
plenty of stirring experiences with big game and gamy fish.
