bid" MAIN "Mt`
THE HUNTING,SEASON has, been "on"
but a week. Already a number of shooting
accidents have been reported by Department
of Lands and Forests conservation officers to
the head office. In several instances the of-
ficers have had to leave their regular work
to render aid,
. Hunting safety should be uppermost in the
mind of every hunter at all times, especially
when there are others afield some of whom
may not be 'fully experienced an handling
shooting irons.
For instance, to rest a shotgun against a
tree or the slippery surface of a car is to
invite disaster. Anyone in the party, in-
cluding the dog, may knock it over or it may
slide off . . and those barrels bend easily.
Too, the gun may go off when it strikes the
ground, and hit the' dog,a_a friend, or blow a
big hole in a tire.
Loaded guns have no business indoors, in
a car, or in boats. Jump shooting ducks from
a boat is, of course, another matter . . . but
better be sure of the man behind you in the
boat. And remember: there is no excuse ever
to pass the muzzles of a loaded shotgun past
a shooting partner.
r Get' the habit of looking through the gun
barrels at the sky and snapping the barrels of
a shotgun befere putting it away in the car
or taking it into the cabin or tent. Be SURE
it's not loaded. Best way to be sure is to
dismount the shotgun.
Looking through the barrels occasionally
is a good habit to get into, anyway. Mud
wasps have been known to, in a very short
time, block up a barrel 'by building a nest.
Gun. muzzles should never be permitted to
nose the ground. Of course, mud in the bar-
rel will put a nice bell muzzle on the gun
next time it's fired . . sometimes with a
pretty, lacy effect. A blob of snow or slush
ice is just as effective, But don't expect fur-
ther accurate shooting.
A double barrel shotgun is safest when
carried "broken". The shells are then visible
and free of the hammers, The gun can be
closed quickly enough for most shots at game.
Many hunters carry a pump-gun upside down
with two shells in the magazine and the third
shot lying in the open breach, When a bird
is sighted they simply pump the shell into the
firing chamber and are immediately ready to
fire. To fire at any bird at a lower angle
than "ten o'clock" is extremely dangerous to
hunting companions and to the dogs.
The "safe" on a shotgun often, lends the
less experienced hunter a false sense of secur-
ity. When the safety catch on his shotgun
reads "safe" he is too likely to believe that
it is foolproof. All the safety snap does is to
prevent the trigger from being pulled. It
doesn't block off the hammers from falling and
hitting-the firing pin. When shotguns become
worn with use, the least little jar may trip
the hammers. That's just one, more reason
why shotguns should never be loaded until
actually in the hunting field.
One of the most dangerous of practices
is for four or five Men to hunt together. Ex-
perienced hunters want no part of it. Once in
awhile one may get roped in on such an ex-
pedition, but will seldom get his "bag" . ,
he's too busy watching the other fellows, to
make sure they don't shoot him or that he
doesn't shoot them.
A hunter should never shoot through the
brush when a companion is ahead of him or
otherwise in line with the muzzle even though
off to one side. Shot will ricochet and do a
lot of other queer ,things. Injuries are bad
enough but mostly temporary . death is SO
permanent!

forced to go right to work for
the rest of Thursday, and a
good share of Friday, folding
papers .by hand. And the
folder just sat there in the
corner and sulked the whole
time. Sure and all of us have
gained a good deal more re-
spect for the old dear and its
abilities now. If she just
gets back to working again
to-day, it will be a long time

You'll remember me telling you
with delight of the two parcels
of gaily wrapped cheese which
have come recently to my con-
sumption. It was with equal glee
that we nosed about and found
a basket of rosy McIntosh ap-
ples a week or so ago. Ripened
on the tree, they were certainly
delicious. Of course the Men in
the back shop had more than
their share, but so what? They
helped me get the wrappings off
those two bits of cheese. They're
quite a good sort after all.

To-day, however, I got the
fright of my life. Lying on
the counter was a sample
package of razor blades. Of
true Canadian make, they
were naturally better, and of
course were sharper than any
razor blade this mouse ever
before had laid eyes upon.
Generally the old rusty jobs
that appear in the shop have
lost all the old keenness they
may once have had,
And they do say that Men
actually take razor in hand and
shave with these ghastly things!
Why, I've just now gotten` my
whiskers back to normal length
after that last bout with the cut-
ting machine. And landsakes, one
of those double-edged razors
would ,make short work of any
mouse's Whiskers. Clean down
to the cheekbone, probably.

Crisp, cool autumn weather
brings a good many pleasures
of which we are not always
aware. Think of the soft
whisper of the coloured
leaves blowing along the
pavement as you walk home
from a late meeting. Think of
the rustle they make as your
shoes walk over them, Think
of the tangy scent of a leaf
bonfire in the cool of the
evening. Picture ripe pump-
kins in the fields, under the
afternoon sun; warm ripe
apples burdening the orchard'
trees, Yes, and if you must
be practical, give some
thought to the work the
change of season brings. But
even that can be fun. Just
keep an open mind for the
pleasures, the sights, scents,
and sounds of autumn. They'-
re very wonderful.

Just inside the front door of
the back shop, and slightly to
the right, is a strangely construct-
ed machine, with a slight tend-
ency to look like a daddy-long-
legs, but also equipped with large
flat pieces of metal, which give
it a slightly rakish air. One can
easily imagine it lifting its un-
gainly self off the floor and go
sailing through the skylight.

We mice, large and small,
have used these flat table
places for myriad types of
sport, When the Men leave
them flat, they make good
roller skating, or ice-skating
rinks; when they are on. a
slant, we use them for to-,
boggan slides, just slides, or
glider shoots. When they hap-
pen to get padded with good
layers of paper, and are flat,
then they are excellent rugby
fields, and polo grounds.

Called a folder by the Men,
this machine has sometimes
grumbled a bit for one reason or
another, and whether it just felt
hurt because of the light spirit
in. which we took its duties, or
whether it just felt a little peak-
ed last week—anyway it gave up
entirely last Thursday. Simply
refused to fold another piece of
newsprint, either crookedly or
straight.
