Two Clean Kills 
Y OU know quail-noisy winging bumble bees! 
They scared you green in your novice days 
as they broke from cover. They were 
almost out of range by the time you recovered 
and got your bearings. 
You know that sometimes, even to-day, you 
don’t get settled down until the whizzing birds 
are almost too far to reach. Then you wish for a 
gun that isn’t just “good enough”—wish for a gun 
that kills clean and far and sure. 
Any man who swings a Lefever true on a pair 
of quail at long range does not feel a heart flutter 
for the result. He knows it —Two Clean Kills. 
The reason Lefever Guns kill clean and sure 
and far is Lefever T’aper Boring. 
Taper Boring is only one of 19 exclusive ad¬

glory of the magnificent creature, and here is 
one of them: 
In the North the capercailzie 
Dwells amid the dark pine forests. 
And his husky crow at morning 
Wakes the echoes of the mountain; 
Down whose side, with foam and sparkle, 
Leaps the streamlet, overshadowed 
By the drooping lady birches; 
There his bold bright eye outflashes, 
Like a gem in scarlet setting; 
There his purple plumes resplendent 
Catch the sunshine as he walketh 
Proudly in his own dominions— 
He the monarch among game birds. 
In quite another strain, but equally charming 
in descriptive effect, are the following lines: 
Amid the pine wood’s depth of shade 
Have ye watched the capercaillie, 
With shining purple plumes outspread, 
And bold, bright eye, o’er-arched with red, 
Bow condescendingly his head, 
With his sober mate to dally? 
And, again: 
The giant grouse, where boastful he displays 
His breast of varying green, and crows and claps 
His glossy wings * * * 
Verily, “the Cock of the Woods” is a beau¬ 
teous creature!—Shooting Times. 
KANSAS CITY ANGLERS' CLUB. 
There are more enthusiastic anglers in Kan¬ 
sas City, considering the few nearby places at 
which they may indulge their pastime, than in 
any other section of the country. Every dimin¬ 
utive stream and every pond large enough to 
swim a ‘‘bullhead” is diligently fished by pa¬ 
tient souls who never catch anything, but who 
hope on that the days of miracles will return. 
Of the few larger bodies of water, extensive 
enough to be entitled to the dignified name of 
lakes, practically all have passed into the con¬ 
trol of clubs of limited membership and exclu¬ 
sive disposition. Some of these organizations 
have leased or purchased outright fishing pre¬ 
serves that, generously stocked and jealously 
protected, furnish really good sport. 
Of the clubs controlling lakes within fifty 
miles of Kansas City probably the most fortun¬ 
ate is the Kansas City Anglers’ Club at Pleas¬ 
ant Hill, Mo. In accessibility and attractive¬ 
ness the club preserves have the advantage over 
any other like place in Missouri or Kansas. 
There are smooth rock roads all the way from 
Kansas City, thirty-three miles for the motor¬ 
ing members, and there are a half dozen trains 
each way daily. The lake is artificial, but was 
built so many years ago that it has taken on all 
the beauties of a natural body of water without 
the unkempt features. 
The clubhouse is only a block from the close¬ 
ly built up residence portion of Pleasant Hill, 
but standing on higher ground and just be¬ 
yond the crest of the hill, is as remote from 
the town and as free from intrusion as if it 
was in the wilderness. The lake itself is built 
on higher ground than the adjacent country, ex¬ 
cept on one side, where lie the wooded hills 
included in the club grounds. 
The lake, thirty-five acres in extent, for many 
years known as “Leonard’s,” came into the 
club’s possession about two years ago. It had 
been a public recreation spot and had been 
stocked with fish when it was first built. Be¬ 
sides game varieties it contained many carp 
and buffalo. The club members seined the lake 
repeatedly 'and removed the undesirable vari¬ 
eties. Thousands of young game fish took their 
places. The shores were cleared of ragged un¬ 
dergrowth and buttressed with stone and the 
surrounding grounds were cleared and improved 
until today they have the appearance of a well- 
kept park. 
A ramshackle residence that stood on the 
grounds was repaired and remodeled for a club¬ 
house. On this building $3,600 was expended, a 
sum sufficient to transform it into a comfort-
