Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1888-08-30

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 lar
rel of -four with which he desires to
surprise and delight his wife. The
hunting suit, though. four years old, is
well preserved, never having had blood
on it but once when his gun kicked off
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 / would
need in case had an engagement at
close quarters with an infuriated tom
tit. would also get a hunting-knife
with tortoise-shell handle, chamois-
lined sheath, and handsome strop for
same.
I would need o 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 $400.
This L could use for ornamental
shooting at preserves. For shooting
domestic animals at short range top
action, laminated steel or twist barrel,
with choke bore, dust damper, pistol
grip, rebounding lock, improved check
hook and pin, fore end lock, solid head
plungers, and stenchless breechpin,
would do well.
would also need q seven-pound can
of Challenge Dog Food and bird dog
to eat same.
would prefer dog that does not OBJ
ject to living in a fiat. Any one who
has good bird dog that would be will
ing to enter into fiat life will do we'll to
consider this opportunity. 1 also de-
| sire dog that would not become ir-
ritated and unreasonabfe when ncci-
dentally shot. Last year had good
dog with this exception. He would
look reproachfully at me and go away
to great distance, where he would
lick his wounds and refuse to como
back. He was a good dog, though,
md would charge" when L ordered
i'm to do so, though he had received
training when got him. Perhaps
ne learned it from the express company
while in transit.
He was with me two seasons, during
which time 1 did not kill anything of
any account except a COW. He then
went away and never returned.
In addition to the gun / should have
q 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
tember, 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
iuncture to inquire through the col
umns of the press if any brother sports
man can tell him way to grow hair on
a dog that is bald-headed all over. Mr..
Van L. dog flushed small coyey of
Plymouth Rock fowls on his estate
near Weehawken last summer and fol-
lowed them into the wood-house, where
he fell into large tank of soft soap in
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 do
well to correspond with the above gen
tleman. He is liberal with his money,
and so price would not stand in the way
of a trade. He is vastly wealthy, having
amassed quite a fortune by railroad
operations. And yet it was a simple
thing, too. Cholly was an only son,
and his father was wealthy. One day
a train came into the depot with a
mans head on the pilot. Going back
seven or eight miles the engineer found
the rest of the man.
But he was dead. He had passed
away. Even the Ihysicians admitted
that they could do nothing for him. He
was Cholly's father. So Cholly be-
came wealthy. And yet MIR. Gould
claims that no money is now being
made by railroad operations.
