hunting the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it Unfortunately called, is a
species OF big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not go much because
of the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because OF It's actual
rarity. 1t is a stupid animal, easily shot
when ono found. 1t 10 not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.

after shipping IL cargo, the mines

The prince rOartd with fright, and his

cause, tOOk him Gil her lap to pacify
him. When the prince was quiet and
resumed his seat, the captain again
shook his fist, and this was repeated all
the way down to Windsor. At the end
Of the journey the queen learned exactly

mand that the officer should never COM

what the captain hoped would happen.
