A 
MECHANICAL PROOF OF MECHANICAL SAFETY 
The Stevens No. 520 Repeating Shotgun 
Look at the hammer (19)! Accidentally released by a careless pressure on the trigger before the 
operating handle was pushed forward in place. What happened? 
Look! You can see the whole thing plainly. The rear end of the sliding mechanism (44) is 
controlled by the operating handle—it projects in front of the firing pin (16) until the operating 
handle is absolutely forward and in place. In other words:— 
The hammer, though released, cannot touch the firing pin at any time until the operating han¬ 
dle is all the wav forward. The hammer hits harmlessly against the rear end of slide (44). 
AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE IS A MECHANICAL IMPOSSIBILITY 
The Stevens 520 is the fastest, safest, best balanced pump gun in America today.

American Duck Shooting 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL

the whole broad field of duck shooting, and none knows so much 
about the sport that there is nothing left for him to learn. Each

complete and most interesting book. It describes, with a portrait, every 
species of duck, goose and swan known to Islorth America; tells of the 
various methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, loads, decoys 
and boats used in the sport, and gives the best account ever published of 
the retrieving Chesapeake Bay Dog.

Nursing vs. Dosing. 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow"), Author of “Training 
vs. Breaking." 161 pages. Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs are sick. The author has given especial atten¬ 
tion to many of the troubles which especially afflict small 
dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from lack of 
exercise and from over-feeding; and boys and girls 
owning dugs—as well as children of larger growth — may 
profitably study and ponder this volume.
