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 w'hy the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefe/er. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it—

TWO CLEAN KILLS 
Say that to your dealer and you will get the 
ammunition you hat j been waiting for. 
Our NON-MERCURIC PRIMER gives a 
certainty and quickness of ignition that will 
surprise you. It, combined with the extra 
size of our FLASH PASSAGE (the hole in 
the shell base through which the flame from 
the primer reaches the charge), will increase 
the effectiveness of your shooting from five to 
ten per cent. 
The Waterproofing in THE BLACK 
SHELLS is perfect. Rainstorm nor ducking, 
mist nor fog, can make them miss fire or even 
swell or stick in the chamber. 
THE BLACK SHELLS are in three 
classes : 
AJAX, the tip of perfection in dense and 
bulk smokeless powders — all standard loads. 
Has extra high base and is made for the mo. 
particular. 
CLIMAX, with all standard loads of det.se 
and bulk smokeless powders, medium base. 
Sure to be the most popular of its class. 
ROMAX, all standard black powder loads. 
Send for book about-shells. If you enclose 
10c, we w’ill send a beautiful colored poster, 
20x 30 inches, called October Days. It will 
delight any real shooter. 
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.

TREED LION TIED BY HUNTER. 
Because he had forgotten his “climbers,” C. 
E. Ordish, a Montana lion hunter, had to walk 
back five miles after them through the snow to 
Libby, Mont., recently before he could climb a 
tree, rope and capture a lion which his dogs 
had tracked. 
Leaving his dogs he walked five miles to Libby 
and returned with A. G. Beaeer, Fred Bock- 
man and Dr. Auld. Mr. Ordish climbed the 
tree, roped the lion, tied its legs together and 
dropped the end of the rope to the ground. It 
was brought to earth, where a col ar and chain 
were put around its neck, and the trio started 
for the sleigh, one of the men holding the ani¬ 
mal by the chain and collar, another by the hind 
feet, and the third man held the rope around 
the body. A cage was made when they reached 
Libby. Mr. Ordish has captured sixteen lions 
alive thus far.—Portland Oregonian.
