Y OU know geese—hardy cruisers of 
the skies. They can get away with 
more shot than any other game bird. It 
takes a close, hard shooting gun to pene¬ 
trate their two-inch armor of feathers. 
Any man who swings a LEFEVER gun 
true on a quartering pair of geese does 
not question the result. He knows it— 
Two Clean Kills 
The reason Lefever Guns kill clean and 
sure and far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
It’s Lefever Taper Boring that gets the 
game. And you continue getting it with 
the same gun for a lifetime. Reasons: 
Lefever never-shoot-loose bolt, Lefever 
compensating screw on the hinge joint, 
Lefever simple three-piece action, and 
14 other original Lefever inventions. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
If you are a sportsman who values a 
gun for killing powers, send for free gun 
book and get Lefever wise. $28 to $ 1000 . 
Owners of the $28 gun will not trade 
them for guns that cost twice as much.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engraving* and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cl»th. Illustrated. 238 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
tkia book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle, which the author 
ases. A good index completes the volume.

You can, when the recoil is light and you 
know the report will be light, too. There’s 
no flinching.

Every lot of powder that comes through 
must show in our shooting range tests—high 
velocity, light recoil, low bursting pressure, 
and uniform sound. 
Dead Shot is always the same. Atmos¬ 
pheric conditions do not affect it. 
All the big loading companies use it. 
If your dealer hasn’t Dead Shot, let us 
ffefer you to one who has.

Nursing vs. Dosing. 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”), Author of "Training 
va. 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 dogs—as well as children of larger growth—may 
profitably study and ponder this volume.

instruction, and within the last eighteen months the 
Australian government has decided to give rifle instruc¬ 
tion in all of the secondary schools, and the sum of 
50,000 kronans has been appropriated for the experi¬ 
ment, and rifles and ammunition are to be furnished by 
the government. In Switzerland every schoolboy receives 
an allowance of $1.00 per year for ammunition. Canada 
has lately taken up this work, and one of its most 
prominent citizens—Lord Strathcona—has given $250,000 
as an endowment fund, the interest of which is to pro¬ 
mote rifle training in the public schools of Canada. In 
England there is held annually a national shoot for the 
schools, and last year at the great Bisley range 400 
schools sent rifle teams to compete for the Ashburton 
shield; and within the last few months one of England's 
soldiers—Col. R. W. Schumacher—has presented 1,000 
carbines to the National Rifle Association of Great 
Britain, to be distributed among the schoolboy rifle 
clubs on a basis of two carbines to each club. 
The work is being carried on in this_ country with 
success ir. New York city, Philadelphia, Baltimore, 
Washington, Portland (Me.), 'Denver (Colo.), and Los 
Angeles (Cal.). Cincinnati and St. Louis now have_ a 
plan for the introduction of rifle shooting in those cities 
before the school boards for adoption. Seventy-five 
school clubs have already been organized and have taken 
out membership in the National Rifle Association. It 
is among these clubs that the Interscholastic League 
for the winter of 1911 is being organized. Each club will 
fire one match each week and results telegraphed to the 
office of the National Rifle Association in Washington. 
Efforts are being made to secure from some patriotic 
citizen a suitable trophy, to be given to the school that 
wins the league series of matches. 
INTERCLUB RIFLE LEAGUE—SEASON IC)IO-II. 
Nineteen civilian rifle clubs, representing fourteen 
different States, will take part in the Interclub Rifle 
Shooting League tournament of 1910-11. The schedule 
of matches is now being prepared by the National Rifle 
Association of America, and they will begin the week 
ending December 24 and continue for eighteen weeks. 
The results of each week’s shooting Will be telegraphed 
to Washington, where the results are tabulated and 
given to the press associations Saturday morning of each

Robinson. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh¬ 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
“to swap lies.”
