So Corporal York. before he went to

of the American pioneer. and the life

was especially efficient with the rife.
The standard and favorite game Of
the section Is the squirrel. Every man
has a squirrel dog, and good one Is
worth $35 or $40. The dog trees the
squirrel, and the hunter shoots 1t
always through the head, so as not to
mangle the meat. If you want to know
how Corporal York learned to shoot,
try to knock a squirrel ont Of tall
hickory tree with a rifle, shooting al.

is chased up a tree by the dogs.

always chopped down, SO that the dogs
and the coon could fight 1t out. no mat
