George Underhill and Ed Peters
went to the "Muskrat" few days ago to
hunt ducks. Good place for that kind
OF hunting! Mr. Peters located on one
side of the pond and Mr.. Underhill on
| the other and there they waited for
ducks to fly in. They flew, but strange
to say, all on the Peters side of the pond,
and your Uncle Edward snuffed their
little lives as soon as they touched the
water The two staid there all the fore
noon. but not feather huttered over
the water on Mr.. UnderhilPs side. Mr..
Peters bagged several fine birds, but Mr..
! Underhill didn't! In the afternoon they
went to the Catfish and side by side
strolled up and down the stream casting
for fish. Mr.. Peters pulled in nice
string, but Mr.. Underhill didn't. And
this goes to prove that Mr.. Peters knows
how to fish and hunt and that Mr.. I'm
derhill doesn't.
