ried loose in the pocket without catch- 
ing dirt or grit. For small game and 
vermin shooting this cartridge is very 
effective with its flat-nose bullet, while 
the hollow-point bullet musses things 
up in a manner hardly creditable to 
such small ammunition. For the va- 
cationist who wants more power than 
the Long-rifle, a cartridge with good 
accuracy and clean to use, the .22 
Special will not be found wanting. But 
please bear in mind that a rifle using 
the .22 Special will not handle any of 
the other .22-caliber ammunition. This 
is also true of the .22 Automatics. 
if your rifle uses the .22 Automatic 
or the .22 Special cartridges, it is ad- 
visable to take ammunition with you 
on your trip, for it frequently happens 
that these cartridges are not carried 
in stock by many of the stores in the 
smaller towns. 
The most accurate and satisfactory 
cartridges of the .22-caliber family are 
those loaded with Lesmok or Semi- 
smokeless powder. Black powder is 
too dirty; smokeless too inaccurate and 
injurious to the barrel. 
Your rifle deserves a good case. One 
of leather is best, but if your pocket- 
book will not permit one of these, a 
canvas case will do. The practice of 
some to throw the gun down on the 
car floor where it is scratched and the 
action filled with dirt and grit, should 
not be tolerated. A gun is seldom used 
long enough to wear it out; it is abuse 
and neglect that puts it out of business 
as a reliable firearm. 
A good nitro solvent used inside and 
outside the gun according to directions 
will keep it spotlessly clean and enable 
it to serve you faithfully for many 
years. 
oe .22-caliber rifle is not a toy, as 
many suppose. Therefore, when 
shooting in settled districts be careful 
not to fire towards buildings or stock, 
as the little lead pills even from Shorts 
travel a long ways and may wound 
stock or persons. The Long-rifle has 
an extreme range of approximately 
1,400 yards. 
Strict observance of the rule, “Al- 
ways look to where you are shooting, 
and be sure you know what you are 
shooting at,” will leave no sting when 
recalling the outings you have had. No 
one while enjoying himself should be 
so thoughtless as to endanger the pop- 
erty, happiness and perhaps the lives 
of others.

(Continued from page 335) 
the hardest part of that day’s hunt. 
Hardly a day passed without one or 
more bears being seen, but on several 
occasions a fickle puff of wind would 
give warning to bruin when, with the 
speed of light, he’d vanish from view 
in the thick alders before a shot could 
be taken. 
One morning an old sow came down 
the beach followed by a pretty well 
grown youngster. They must have fin- 
ished breakfast, as they seemed intent 
on nothing in particular, just taking a 
constitutional. When within fair range 
the old lady got a soft nosed bullet 
high up in the ribs and too far back, 
whereupon, with a savage bawl, she 
waltzed over to the young bear and 
gave him a left hook that sent him 
spinning, then, scenting some other 
presence, put for the fringe of bushes 
at her best pace. She, however, had 
to cross about fifty yards of open rocky 
shore and before reaching cover an- 
other shot doubled her up. That one. 
clout from the old ’un would have won 
any world’s championship for all time; 
but the youngster, after taking the full 
count, pulled himself together and, ap- 
parently unoffended at being punished 
for an offense of which he was guilt- 
less, proceeded to follow mamma. He, 
however, ran into two leaden missiles 
that completely flattened him out and 
both bears lay dead within twenty 
yards of each other. 
The following week a good sized bear 
was wounded and finally killed with 
three more shots after a race in which 
he came near making good his escape. 
This made four grizzlies in eight days, 
all killed with comparative ease and 
little or no excitement, and my friend’s 
opinion of the vaunted courage and fe- 
rocity of the species took a decided 
slump. He branded all the tales of 
charging bears told by his Indians, 
over the camp fire, as absolute rot, and 
other similar stories as the grossest ex- 
aggeration of some over-excited nim- 
rod. If he had broken camp and come 
out of the woods that night I don’t 
think that anybody would ever have 
convinced him that a grizzly would 
charge under any possible circum- 
stances. But he didn’t—and two days 
later his opinion was slightly modified! 
CS had been moved several miles 
down stream, quite near a place 
where the many fresh trails showed 
it to be a spot much favored by the 
bears. The breeze which had been 
blowing all day dropped out to a flat 
calm late in the afternoon and as the 
sun sank behind a mountain range to 
the westward only the silvery ripple of 
the stream broke the primeval stillness.
