Noticing hat Bro. KS hun
ters did not Kill the turkeys. but
only shot oft one toe and shoe ed
them off, | thought that perhaps
some OF them might have wan
dered down this way. SO yes
terday morning | took IA stroll
around through the woods in
the snow, and sure enough |
found a lot OF turkey tracks
minus one toe.
So | went to work and built a
turkey pen, baited it with corn,
and put my pardner Jim on old
Sol and seut him off in haste for
bottle of tiger juice" to keep
out cold while [ watched my
turkey pen,
Jim brought the juice q. X.
and | took a pull at the bottle
and peeped over the hill at my
pen, but nothing in sight. / re-
peated this several times with
the same result, but bye and bye
| was rewarded by seeing "a line
Old gobbler in the pen. I stepped
back and took q good long phil
at my bottle, and when / looked
at my pen again [ saw innunler-
able turkey heads aud turkeys
Hopping and rushing around in
the pen. s
| sorter zig Jagged back to
within hearing distance OF the
house and hallooed to Pat and
the Dutchman to hitch the
horses to the wagon, bring all
the guns and dogs aud come
quick and help me Kill all the
turkeys, aud to tell the old
oman to prepare sacks to hold
the feathers.
Pat and the Dutchman came
tearing down with the horses
and wagon and said, "Where are
the turkeys" [ said, "Hic!
Doncher see 'em in that pen
about five bundled of them"
Pat says, ''No, | don't see but
one little old gobbIer." | said,
"Oh, go on Do you take me
tor a TOOL; do you think I can't
sec! Maybe you think--hic!-
dunk"
So after | had rolled around
III the snow aud cooled down
some, | slipped in about IL
o'clock p. M, and got in bed, and
sure enough, next morning, all
the turkey there was was a little
Old gobbler.
The magnifying power Of this
blind tiger stuff is sim
ply wonderful. o. B. w.

 Great satisfaction is expressed over the settlement of the differences be- tween Leader Murphy of Tammany Hall and Chairman McCarren of the state executive committee, so far as they relate to the present campaign
 Among other visitors at Rosemount were William IT. Wood of Poughkeep- sic, N. r., second deputy attorney gen. eral for New York state, who was ac- companied by Mrs Wood.
