LIFE- WIN CHESTER AUTOMATIC RIFLE 22 CAUBER MODEL 1903» LIKE HISTORY IT REPEATS ITSELF As a means of pleasure and sport, the Winchester Automatic Rifle is as far ahead of any other .22 Caliber as an automobile is ahead of the historic one horse shay. After loading this rifle, all that it is nec essary to do to shoot it ten times is to pull the trigger for each shot. Although automatic in action, it is simple in construction and not apt to get out of order. For city, country or camp it is the gun of the day. To shoot it is to appreciate it. You can handle this rifle and see it shot in our demonstrating booth at the St. Louis Exposition. See our Exhibits at St. Louis, in Manufacturers and Fish and Game Buildings.

Member Association Licensed Automobile Manufacturers The Critics and the Manager; HE question of the rights of critics and theay managers is again before the public. The! York publication, Lire, has been sued by K\ Erlanger, the theatrical managers, for $100,000 {¢ leged damages by that paper upon them in the a of its theatrical reviews, We are not, of course, acquainted with the m the case at this distance to an extent that would j us in presuming to attempt to say who is in the in this particular instance. But we have an idea very few newspapers or other publications ever hay any theatrical firm to the extent of anythiog $100,000. Some of the most savage criticisms written have merely had the effect of inspiring py curiosity in plays and players and crowding theatres in which they were to be seen, Sometiay good, hard knock has the effect of making busine the briskest for the performers who are knocked critics. Imagine the number of people who would hy be kept away from a theatre in order to maby managers losers of $100,000!
