Points that Make the A. H. Fox Gun 
“The Finest _ Gun in the World” 






A breech mechanism actu- 
ally employing about one half | 
as many parts as are used in other 
guns. Consequently a less complicated ®& 
action, greater simplicity, added strength and 
more graceful lines. This lessening of parts permits 
the best distribution of weight and creates the perfection of balance which makes the A. H. Fox 
Gun the ideal’gun for field or trap shooting. Call at the nearest gun shop and see the ‘‘ Fox,”

GOLDEN PLOVER. 
“Watcu the sky on a bright, sunshiny day at 
this time of the year,” said H. R. Walmsley, of 
the National Audubon Society, in the Pittsburg 
Leader, “and every little while you will see flash- 
ing toward the north a small, bright object like 
a brilliant yellow star. It is visible for only 
a moment.while it is between you and the sun, 
then it is gone. It is a golden plover on his 
way to the Arctic Ocean. These birds are now 
passing over St. Louis by thousands, but they 
are rarely seen save on the wing in the Missis- 
sippi Valley, for they seldom alight in the day- 
time, stopping to feed only at night, and so 
quickly that they rarely attract attention. 
He goes north, how far nobody knows, for he 
has been observed in the highest altitudes at- 
tained by man; makes his nest on the arctic ice 
with a handful of moss, in a few weeks the 
young are able to fly as well as their parents, 
and the whole family starts south again. The 
Mississippi Valley is the northbound route of 
the plovers as well as of most other birds that 
make long migrations, but the golden plovers 
do not go in flocks like ducks and geese, but 
singly, or at most in twos and threes. 
“Those that we see now passing over St. 
Louis we shall ‘see no more until next spring, 
for when they start south they follow the At- 
lantic coast. In September they stop for three 
or four weeks in Labrador and the Hudson 
Bay region to feast on the crow bemis and be- 
come very fat, then in October take a straight 
course over land and sea to Venezuela, where 
they arrive year after year on the same day of 
the month. There they rest amd recruit, then 
go on south, following the season, as far as 
Patagonia, and turning north again at the ap- 
proach of the southern winter. 
“Thus these little yellow stars that we see 
flitting over St. Louis in the bright sunlight 
travel every year very nearly 25,000 miles. But 
distanceeis nothing to a plover. It can fly 800 
to 1,000 miles a day. Those that will alight to 
pick up a few seeds in the Missouri River bot- 
tom to-night had their supper last night on the 
Atchafalaya, and by to-morrow night will be 
feeding by the lakes of Minnesota.” 


NEW BUFFALO IN THE ZOO. 
THE storks that officiate in buffalo families 
just before buffalo weekly papers print the item 
that “a new arrival has come to brighten their 
lives” are growing fewer and fewer each year 
because the old plains race is becoming. extinct. 
On that account Dr. W. T. Hornaday, director 
of the Bronx Zoological Park and president of 
the Society for the Preservation of the Buffalo, 
was gladdened recently when a keeper came to 
tell him of a new arrival in the park’s buffalo 
family. 
He was particularly glad to hear that the new- 
comer was a female and that she resembled her 
mother. In the last nine months seven buffalo 
calves have been born in the Bronx Park herd. 
Most of them have been females, and Tjirector 
Hornaday thinks that is a start toward 
the preservation of at least the Bronx Park herd.

WHAT NEXT? 
Everyspopy knows one or more of those con- 
scientious egoists who cannot rid themselves of 
the idea that no one can be trusted to carry out 
the simplest details of routine work without their 
personal supervision. 
It was one of these men who sailed for Eng- 
land, leaving in his brother’s care a parrot of 
which he was very fond. All the way across the 
Atlantic he worried about the bird, and no sooner 

had he landed at Southampton than he rushed 
over this cablegram to his brother: 
“Be sure and feed parrot.” 
And the brother cabled back : 
“Have fed him, but he’s hungry again. What 
shall I do next?”—Woman’s Home Companion.
