HIRAM AND TIE BULL.

Ten years ago the hunter ambitious

region where he could kill hundreds

town into which the buffalo often
came down at night and it was not
unusual for the residents when they
arose in the morning to see q bunch
within rifle range of the houses.
Among the dwellers in this town was
one who Although he had lived on
the frontier since the early SOS had
never killed buffalo. One morning
when Hiram looked out Of his door he
saw, not far away a great buffalo bull
rubbing his ragged side against the
bole Of an old cottonwood tree. Here
was chance such as had never before
presented itself. Such an oppor-
tunity might not occur again, and he
was filed with great longing 10 kill

utmost terocity. as If eager to pulverize
