LOST HIS TURKEY.

The Bad Luck of SheIlman NimrOd.

good story:
"Just before the break of day last
Saturday morning our genial friend,
Col. W. W. Cheney, started for the
swamp, thinking on his way of the fine
wild gobbler he would enjoy for his Sun
day dinner. As the colonel is not well
versed in the art of yelping, he threw
across his shoulder turkey hen TO yelp
for him. On arriving at the swamp he
tied the hen and seated himself near by.
After waiting patiently for three hours,
and not hearing a yelp nor seeing a wild
turkey, imagine his CONSERVATION upon
going to thesp0t to lind his turkey gone
(the last one he had). Any one finding
a turkey hen in the swamp, with cot
ton string tied around her foot, will be
literally rewarded by returning same to
the colonel"
