The Fox Gun lock has but three working parts—ham¬ 
mer, sear, mainspring—and is made as accurately as a 
watch, each part being gauged, inspected and tested 
time and time again to insure strength, accuracy and 
perfect action. 
The Fox taper bolt holds with the grip of a vise and for¬ 
ever prevents the gun shooting loose. Fox coil main¬ 
springs and top lever spring never weaken nor break. 
Fox barrels are genuine—imported Krupp fluid steel 
backed by Fox Proof. The Fox Proof Certificate 
with every gun. 
The Fox is perfect in "hang”, penetration, and every 
other particular. It is built on beautiful lines and is 
handsomely finished. 
A “gold standard” value justifies a standard price for 
each style—$37.50 to $362.00 net. See the Price Stand¬ 
ard tag on the trigger guard.

with specimens of its scales mounted, and in the 
guide would be given brief references telling the 
story of the economic value of the fish, its use 
as food for other fishes, or as guano, as in the 
case of dogfishes on the Maine coast. 
In this connection some data should be col¬ 
lected to show the work of private organizations', 
the National and State Governments in stocking 
streams and otherwise aiding the interests of 
the angler and commercial fisherman, so that 
there would be represented the evolution of 
angling and the complete history of the fishes, 
either in sport or in economics, not as a dry and 
prosaic exhibit, but as a great popular picture of 
a valuable public interest. 
FISHERMAN'S LUCK. 
With the rudder disabled and with the anchor 
down, the Taurus, of the Iron Steamboat line, 
with 400 anglers who had been spending the day 
on the fishing banks on board, lay off Rockaway 
Point one afternoon recently while the Cygnus, 
a sister steamboat, came alongside and took off 
the passengers. 
The Taurus i-s used for fishing parties, and an 
unusually large number of men went out on 
hoard the steamboat. There was no untoward 
incident until on the way hack, and the men 
were sitting around on deck telling each other 
how many large fish they had caught, when the 
accident happened to the rudder. 
The sea was calm, and there was no excite¬ 
ment among the men. Some of the married 
ones went to the captain and asked for a written 
statement to the effect that the accident had 
really occurred, so they would have no difficulty 
in making their wives believe the story. 
From the steamboat pier at Coney Island it 
could be seen that the Taurus was in trouble, 
so when the Cygnus started for Manhattan it 
steamed out to the Taurus. The sea was calm 
enough so that the steamboats could be lashed 
together, and the fishermen were taken aboard 
the Cygnus to Pier A, North River. A tug was 
sent out to the Taurus and she was towed to 
her pier.—Herald. 
AMERICAN RIFLES PURCHASED BY 
HAITI. 
Under date of August 6, 1910, American 
Minister Henry W. Furniss, Port au Prince, 
Haiti, reports that President Simon, of Haiti, 
purchased from an American firm 1,000 Spring- 
field rifles, instead of purchasing rifles in 
Europe. Minister Furniss adds that the order 
is to he followed as soon as practicable by 
further orders for 2,000 more rifles. 
"VT OU know ruffed grouse—monarchs of the up- 
. A lands. You know, also, that a crippled ruffed 
grouse has a trick or two for evading the game bag. 
The only ruffed grouse you can show for a day in 
the bush—unless your dog is a gotd one and your 
luck is unusual—are the birds you got by good 
clean kills. 
There is nothing so conducive to cuss words as 
searching for crippled birds. Men who shoot 
Lefever guns don’t know what it is to waste time 
fruitlessly chasing cripples-—thev pick up their birds 
dead and hurry after fresh game. 
Any man who has swung a Lefever true on a 
rocketing pair of upland kings does not wonder at 
the result—he banks on it— 
Two Clean Kills 
The reason Lefever guns kill clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But Taper Boring is only one of the 19 exclusive 
advantages. 
Lefever Shot Guns 
have over other makes, which are fully explained in 
our new catalogue. Study them while you are get¬ 
ting Lefever wise. You need a copy. Write to-day.

Sam Lovel's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25, 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of What he 
believes to be the right.
