"Unele" Johnnie's Turkey.

Our old friend, aUncle' John nie WiIson-generally known as "Water-melon John"-paid us q pleasant call on last Monday even- ing; and, while here, related, to our astonishment, the experience he had on that morning with a wild turkey gobbIer. 'Uncle" Johnnie always shoots a 3S-56 cal. Winchester rifle, so his story may not seem as unreasonable as one would first suppose. He says that he "called'' the turkey up as close as desired, took deliberate aim, and fired, and when the smoke cleared away was surprised to find that his turkey had disappeared. Upon investigation, he discovered that the fowl had been "feather- ed, , so away he sped for his fa- nous turkey-dog, Frank. On returning to the spot, the dog soon "struck trail, " and after running for about three-quarters of an hour, came to a halt. ''Uncle"
 Johnnie, who is quite fleet of foot, for a man of his years, was soon on the scene. The dog had the game, or part of it; for, in truth, there was only half of the turkey to be found. "Uncle" Johnnie $ first thought was that the dog had eaten the other half but, after medltating a few moments, he aanr.ew this could not be the case, for he had keps very nearly in sight of the dog from start to fin ish. So picking up what was left of his spells, hs retraced his steps to the place of beginning. On ar irving there, tie dog immediately "struck off a- "full cry'' in the exact opposit. direction to which he had frst taken; and, after running aboit mile, stopped and began barking, as if he had "treed.o .o "Uncle" Johnnie
