THEY CRUMPLE 
AND DROP 
NY man who owns 
a Lefever boasts 
how he gets doubles 
at a great distance 
—how they crum¬ 
ple up and drop 
every time the Le¬ 
fever speaks. He 
talks Lefever hard 
shooting, close 
shooting,and all-round shooting quali¬ 
ties from his own experience. Ask him 
to explain why the Lefever kills. It’s 
all in Lefever Taper Boring, he’ll 
tell you. And why does it win all 
the World’s Championships? Lefe¬ 
ver Taper Boring— same old answer

If all other shot guns in the world 
could have Lefever Three-Piece 
Action, Lefever Never-Shot-Loose 
bolt, Lefever Take-Up-Wear at the 
hinge joint, and the fourteen other 
exclusive Lefever advantages, they 
would still fail to get World Cham¬ 
pionships and long double kills, 
because they haven’t Lefever Taper 
Boring. $28.00 to $1000 — and 
nothing on the market at $50.00 
will shoot or wear like the Lefever

somewhat careless in their building operations, 
the birds are excellent parents, and have been 
known to fiercely attack both men and animals 
who ventured too near their eggs or young. 
The nearest link to the bustards, to be found 
in the British Islands nowadays is the thick- 
knee ((Edicnemus crepitans ) or, as the bird is 
more commonly called, Norfolk plover, bustard 
plover, and stone-curlew. The habits and 
haunts of the thick-knee, which, by the way, is 
about the size of the curlew and of very similar 
plumage, are very like those of the true 
bustards. 
It frequents chalky downs and wide open 
heaths and plains in several parts of our islands, 
more especially on the East Coast. Like its 
nobler relatives, it is a remarkably shy bird, 
and at the approach of an enemy generally at¬ 
tempts to escape notice by lying prone, and 
with neck and head extended full length along 
the ground. There are eleven species of the 
thick-knee, widely distributed over the globe, 
North America being the only country, we be¬ 
lieve, unrepresented by the family. There is, 
however, only one species indigenous to 
Europe. . 
Needless to add, this interesting bird, owing 
to its comparative rarity, is much sought after 
by specimen collectors and pot-hunters, and it 
is chiefly due to the fact of the stone-curlew 
being semi-nocturnal and altogether cunning in 
its habits that it has not yet become as rare in 
Great Britain as have the great and lesser 
bustards.—The Scottish Field.

The “Forest and Stream” Trap Score Book 
Meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every particular. The i$n 
sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage all scorers will appreciate, particu¬ 
larly when working in a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered 
from 1 to 30 . Broad perpendicular lines divide these into groups of five, 
which aids the eye of the scorer greatly. Similar heavy lines divide the 
perpendicular spaces into groups of six; thus the squads are distinguish-, 
able at a glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are placed in the book 
for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules for Live-Bird 
Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, for Inanimate Target Shooting; 
Hurlingham Revised Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $ 1 . 00 .
