FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Feb. 18, 1911. 
Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks—Solomons of the air. You can t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefever. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver. 
LEFEVER

Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the £28 gun the 
peer of any S 50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
Si,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.

At the recent annual tournament of the International 
Indoor Twenty-two Caliber League, held in Brooklyn, 
N. V., the expert match was won by William Keim (am¬ 
ateur), who scored 49 out of 50 points, and was equipped 
with a Stevens rifle. In the Continuous Prize Match, 
Mr. J. Williams tied for first and was equipped with 
Stevens rifle and Stevens telescope. First prize in the 
Remington match was won by Jesse Smith, who used a 
Stevens rifle. Twelve out of thirty telescopes used by the 
national sharpshooters who contested were of Stevens 
make. 
DUNKIN’S DIRIGIBLE. 
Young Dunkin was in love with Sir Anthony 
Rasper’s daughter, and Sir Anthony Rasper s 
daughter was in love with young Dunkin; but 
Sir Anthony wasn’t. Sir Anthony^ was all for 
sport, and he always spelled “'sport,'’ “s-h-o-o-t- 
i-n-g”—seemed to have a notion, he had, that 
man’s chief end and aim in being born into the 
world was to shoot game, and then, if he’d 
any odd moments of time left over, he might 
devote ’em to work, or politics, or chemical 
manures, or any other similar forms of un¬ 
necessary but harmless amusement. That was 
where he and young Dunkin didn t hit it. 
Shooting always gave young Dunkin headache, 
and listening to Sir Anthony’s everlasting gun 
twaddle always gave him earache. And then, 
again, Sir Anthony was rich and he was poor; 
but he was determined to rise in the world, and 
he thought at that time he could mebbe do it 
best on a dirigible. So he had a dirigible bal¬ 
loon built to his own plans and theories, and 
then industriously started in to let the world 
see that they wouldn’t work. Consequently, 
when he called at the Hall and applied to Sir 
Anthony for the situation of son-in-law in that 
sporting baronet’s family. Sir Anthony first 
gasped at his impudence and then let fly at him 
with both barrels, so to speak. He said a lot, 
did Sir Anthony, but the gist of it was that 
he’d never accept a son-in-law who hadn’t been 
born with a silver spoon and double-barreled 
gun in his mouth, and hadn’t been weaned on 
No. 6 and smokeless. What he wanted for a
