An exchange gives the following
rules for hunters to strictly follow:
Hunters should remember, first, to
always crawl over a fence with the
muzzle of the gun toward you. Then
should anything catch on the trigger
the coroner will get job and the
newspaperman something to write
about the next week. Second. If
you see anything moving in the
brush you want to fire instantly;
never stop to consider. OF course it
may be another hunter, butyou can
call around in the morning and ex-
plain to the widow that you thought
it was a pheasant. She will proba-
bly, think you are bird. Third.
Always leave the hammer of your
gun upif you have anybody with
you. If it should fall, your friend
will probably catch the ammunition
in his back before it goes far. You
can then pick the shot outat leisure.
Numerous other wise precautions
will suggest themselves while you
are in prison awaiting trial, should
you survive Rule Mol.
