Making a Gunstoek.

A party of men were out hunting, and an old woodsman who was with them broke his gunstock in some way or other. It was just about nightfall when the accident occurred, and fnas- much as he was very anxious to dc some shooting early the next morning he decided to fix up his shooting iron Finding a walnut fence rail, he set to work. His only tools were an ax and a big pocket knife. All night long he labored vigorously at his task, and by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like a charm.
 "How did you do it?" asked one Of the number, greatly surprised
 "Very easy" was this old hunters reply. "No trouble at all. Just get a piece of wood about the size and kind that you want and then whittle away all that you want whitfield away. When you have all the wood cut off that you don't want, you have a gun stock."-Kansas City Journal
