A Fmsr-CLAss JoKE.-A few weeks ago
= well-known lawyer, capitalist and gen.
eral rustler, whose first name Is Hub,
traded for q shot gun. After some prac.
tice at his suburban home, he considered
himself quite proficient in its use. A
few days ago one Of his boys rushed into
the house aud reported 10 him that there
was Chinese pheasant in the yard.
Getting his gun he carefully climbed
over the fence and crawled towards q
fine looking specimen OF this most gamy
bird in the farther side OF tie lot. When
about sixty yards of ne fired two or three
times but the pheasant stirred not. Then
crawling ahead through the muddy
ground about thirty yards nearer hs
again fired three or four times, six times
in oil, in the mean time having been sup
piled with some extra cartridges by one
OF his boys; but the beautiful bird never
budged. Looking around he observed
his entire family in convulsions d
laughter. Then he smelled a mouse, and
investigating the matter learned that hs
had beea firing at a mounted pheasant
the board being covered up IN grass. The
boys were ahead OF their father. ONLY
one OF the six shots had touched the bird
and that so as not toinjure IL. The jok,
is being greatly appreciated by those whs
have heard OF il, and the readers Of thI
DEMocRAT will unite In the laugh.
