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. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
THE GUNS OF LASTING FAME 
Bored better, bolted better, built better than any 
other make, American or foreign. Shoot better, last 
better, look better. Pioneers in every sound im¬ 
provement in double barrel shot guns for almost 
half a century. 
The new Lefever Gun Book tells all about the 
best system of bolting and boring, things you should 
know before you buy a gun. Free on request.

BEAR ROUTS GREEKS. 
A band of terror-stricken Greek laborers be¬ 
ing rounded up from the surrounding mountains 
1 and one of their number is under the care of a 
local physician as the result of the impromptu 
appearance of an immense silver tipped grizzly 
bear in the section house on the Great North¬ 
ern Railway on the outskirts of this city about 
noon. 
The foreigners were gossiping of their own 
dear hymettus groves below Antioch at home 
oyer an evening meal whose sweetness wafted 
nicely through the windows of the shanty. In 
the midst of the meal Mr. Bruin began sniffing 
and scratching about the front of the house. 
Peter Mehers, foreman of the section crew, 
arose and opened the door to investigate. 
He announced the sudden revelation of his 
giant bearship by a wild shriek. Before he 
could recover from his stupefaction the animal 
reared on its hind legs and struck him thrice 
on the left shoulder with its forepaw, inflicting 
three severe gashes. Mehers with a scream of 
pain and terror leaped back into the room, the 
bear closely following. 
Throwing to the winds further business, the 
Greek laborers enthusiastically united in a gen¬ 
eral exodus through the small rear window of 
the shack. Not so fast, however, but that the 
section boss left a portion of his trousers and 
a part of his coat tail in the bear embrace. 
Then the bear began devoting his attention 
to the supper. While calmly disposing of a 
platter _ of fried ham, William Morrison, a 
mountain trapper, attracted by the cries of the 
frightened Greeks, appeared with a Winchester 
and ended the animal’s career.
