A BOY HUNT.
Chased From Hedge TO Hedge by a 5is
Pack OF Weasels.

Chased From Hedge TO Hedge by a Sig
Pack Of Weassls.
The following extract from an inter-
esting book may be OF interest to our
friends. 1t IS From Ny Life as an
Angler" by William Henderson, pub
lished In London Ia 1919
About this time while rambling IN
the picturesque lane leading from Mer-
rington to Windiestone with two other
boys, an adventure occurred sufficient
" startling to two little fellows from
nine to ten years old, We were busily
engaged in picking wild strawberries,
which clustered in the hedgerows.
when we saw at about hundred
yards distance pack Of at least
twenty weasels running from hedge to
hedge and evidently scenting out foot
steps. 1t flashed upon US that we were
being hunted. So, springine over the
nearest hedge, we ran across a pasture
field and, standing upon the farther
bank, looked back toward our assall-
ants. TO our dismay we saw the whole
pack, with noses to ground, steadily
tracking our course. The word was
given, Run. rum and or we scam
pered across another field to take up
our position on another hedge Still
the pursuit was going on. and the crea-
lures were evidently gaining upon as,
so with wild shout we fed to the
village, which, happily for us, was not
far OF. have frequently heard OF
persons being attacked by weasels, but
was never hunted BY them on airy 9TH
err occasion"
The above must have occurred about
1912, the locality being the north OF
England.-Forest and Stream.

Shooting tie sseonbuek.

Many OF the poor Beers in the Trans
yaal, by whom all the shooting that
Is done is for the pot and not for sport,
have perfected a system OF shooting
with the assistance OF oxen A staen-
buck has no fear Of cattle and will
lie still even II they Craze right up to
him. The hunter gets together few
cattle and with his gun walks behind
them in such way that be cannot be
seen from the front Great care has to
be exercised to drive the oxen so that
they may seem to be grazing natural
ly. The hunter must be ready TO shoot
without having to alter his position.
The slightest movement is noticed by
che buck.
