ticipating in shooting-match for
turkeys and ducks at Middlebrook,

not get one by their craftsmanship re-
sorted to the petty trickery OF drawing
blood with the aid of their pocket
knives. When a man will take such

small trick. If boys were to do such

hard up for something to eat or else
too mean to get it through honest pur
poses.
