VI WY negotiate a loan
H\ upon ample seeur-
~ II >x.H ity and at a good
GOWss h1 rate ofIinterest.
A friend of mine
thinks could III q
a~mNtM'/ few g ks xii
rExzZzSaS enough clay pig
yANk' cons to repay the
6yM loan.
34hI l could get along
with hunting suit
which is offered me by an acquaintance
who is just my size. He will sell it to
me at half price in order to buy bar
rel of flour with which he desires to
surprise and delight his wife. The
hunting suit, though four years old, is
we'll preserved, never having had blood
on it but once when his gun kicked Oft
the left lobe of his nose.
/ would also want handsome, orna-
mental revolver with folding hammer,
cartridge ejector, intaglio engraved,
and plush case for same. This l would
need in case 1 had an engagement at
close quarters with an infuriated tom
tit. / would also get hunting-knife
with tortoise-shell handle, chamois-
lined sheath, and handsome strop for
same.
I would need a dozen boxes pink
edged gun wads, an assortment of prim-
ers, and pocket compass.
1 could get along with Westley
Richards Hammerless Gun with cart
ridge ejector, screwdriver, and alligator
guncase, which could be easily bought
for S400.
This / could use for ornamental
shooting at preserves. For shooting
domestic animals at short range a top
action, ANIMATED steel or twist barrel,
Nth choke bore, dust damper, pistol
grip, rebounding lock, improved check
hook and pin, fore end lock, solid head
plungers, and stenchless breechpin,
would do we'll.
would also need seven-pound can
OF Challenge Dog Food and a bird dog
to eat same.
would prefer a dog that does not OBJ
ject to living in fiat. Any one who
has good bird dog that would be will
ing to enter into flat life will do well to
consider this opportunity. L also de-
sire dog that would not become ir-
ritated and unreasonable when acct
dentally shot. Last year had good
dog with this exception. He would
look reproachfully at me and go away
to a great distance, where he would
lick his wounds and refuse to come
back. He was a good dog, though,
and would charge" when ordered
him to do so, though he had received
no training when l got him. Perhaps
he learned it from the express company
while in transit.
He was with me two seasons, during
which time / did not kill anything OF
any account except COW. He then
went away and never returned.
In addition to the gun should have
a set of loading tools, also wool swab,
wire scratch brush. two pronged worm
er, flannel wiper, patent bristle choke
cleaner, Petmecky cleaner, expansion
felt swab, Barclay pattern inside box
wood and brass cleaner, ring shell ex-
tractor, hook shell extractor, and three
joint cleaning rod.
One should also have Skimmerding's
imperial dog remedies for mango, dis
TENDER, canker, impure blood, fits, and
hypochondria. He should also have
"Yelper's Household Physician for
Dogs richly bound and handsomely
printed and illustrated work treating OF
dog diseases in all their forms.
Cholly Van Tinkeybob, a spectacular
sportsman of New York, asks me at this
juncture to inquire through the col
umns of the press if any brother sports
man can tell him a way to grow hair on
dog that is baldheaded all over. Mr..
Van It's dog flushed small covey OF
Plymouth Rock fowls on his estate
near Weehawken last summer and fol-
lowed them into the wood-house, where
he fell into a large tank of soft soap in
a heated state. AS result of this his
hair came out prematurely. Probably
there was never anything more prema-
ture than the way that dogs hair fell
out. He is now shocking sight.
Cholly now goes about asking his
friends if they have seen his nude dog.
| This is bit of delicious humor.
Any one having liver and white wig
that will fit two-gallon dog will dc
well to correspond with the above gen.
tleman. He is liberal with his money
and so price would not stand in the way
of trade. He is vastly wealthy, having
amassed quite fortune by railroad
operations. And yet it was a simple
thing, too. Cholly was an only son
and his father was wealthy. One day
train came into the depot with q
mans head on the pilot. Going back
seven or eight miles the engineer fount
The rest of the man.
But he was dead. He had passed
away. Even the physicians admitted
that they could do nothing for him. HI
was Cholly's father. SO Cholly be
came wealthy. And yet Mr.. Goult
claims that no money is now being
made by railroad operations.
