Here’s a 
Christmas 
Present 
For The 
BOY 
Stevens Favorite No. 17. 
The Stevens Favorite Rifle, No. 17, which lists at $6.00, is absolutely 
the best present that anybody can give to a live, wide-awake boy for 
Christmas. You, who have lived so much in the woods and fields, 
know how important it is that the young huntsmen and marksmen, 
who are growing up, should have the right firearms with which 
to shoot. And you know that the Stevens Favorite is by all 
odds the best designed and most carefully made light rifle in the 
world. We want to help you out with a timely suggestion for the 
holiday season: — 
BUY THE BOY A REAL RIFLE THAT WILL 
SHOOT STRAIGHT AND HIT HARD! 
We shall be glad to send you detailed description of rifles that are 
even lighter and less expensive than the Favorite, such as the Little 
Scout and the Maynard Jr.—made for very young boys. Send for 
our complete catalog of 160 pages, containing 209 illustrations. Look 
this catalog over. There may be a Rifle, Shotgun, Repeater, Pistol 
or Rifle Telescope that you may want to have for yourself. 
Every live and up-to-date gun dealer in the country carries the Stevens line.

Best Books For Boys 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
T HE solution of the parents’ problem of providing for the growing boy reading at once healthy and 
satisfying to his craving for action and adventure. In the Jack Books the longing of the normal 
boy for Western stones is gratified, the interest is absorbed and the mind is unconsciously led to 
phases of life that are elevating and instructive. 
The books are the story of a young New York lad, sent to Stillwater ranch in the Rockies for his 
health, who becomes the companion of a veteran of the frontier. For each of six succeeding years he is 
led through new territory and experiences, accumulating much of the lore of plain and mountain, enriched 
with tales of the old West. 
Ranch life, travel and hunting on the lonely plains, Indian camps, mountain ™ 
climbing, trapping and canoeing are described. There is not a dull page, and 
the author manages to put much of the spirit of the West into his books. Jack 
is a real boy, and the books are stories for live boys—not lectures in disguise.
