deer hunting during the open season and
not meeting with success with their rifles
they tested the power of the mighty dollar
to capture the coveted game, as they were
averse to returning home without some
thing to prove their prowess as hunters.

was doe, and they must bride the accom-
modating furnisher to keep mum. Fasci-
nation binding wisdom, the, hunters car
ried such portion of the trophy home as
they wished to display and concealed the
hide. But the original owner Of the doe
not being deaf and dumb mute, the story
of the exchange leaked out and was waited
as far as Stowe-well, to be brief, that
piece of venison is proving dear meat in
