JOHIbON VS. HUtLAT
They started out to hunt grouse. And
they got seven between them. Deputy
sheriff Thomas B. Johnson, known to all
evil doers in the northwest as being poss
essed with an unerring eye and Al Huelat,
dispenser of music and music instruments
known for his ability to detect a flaw in
a music box but not widely known as
bird artist, left last Saturday for Ladd
canyon for the express purpose of shoot
ing the bird. "Now you might as well
admit before we be in that I am the
better shot," said Thomas. "That's where
you lose,'" retorted Al. "Just to impress
upon your memory what I mean, I will
wager, not bet. that I can miss more
birds than youcan." The bet was prompt
ly accepted and ere long the birds were
teasing the hunters extremely. "Bang"
went the musician's gun. But no bird.
"Bang" went the deputy's gun and still
no bird. The next one sighted was
bagged by Al.
Mow these gentlemen had ample
ammunition to keep five ordinary huntsmen
supplied but after both had lost track
of how many birds they had missed, both
were out of shells. The dispute was not
yet settled. Thomas had a faint recollec
tion of seeing feathers fly after empting
three succeesive loads at one beautiful
specimen cornered in a rockie cave, while
Al had really managed to bag two nice
ones.
The lack of the shells had no effect on
these two sportsmen? for dropping
the harmless weapons they seized rocks
and "went to it" right lustily. Even here
Thomas was outclassed and had to take
a back seat. Mr. Heulat soon took Ditv
on the deputy and allowed him to retrieve
the birds brought to earth by Al "David."
This morning both men were busy tell
ing listeners of the fine qualities of the
other in missing grouse. After carefully
considering and weighing the stories of
both men it was decreed that Mr. Johnson
is inefficient, yet better in his class than
Al, but the class is in a class by itself,
that of missing and not hitting.

E. W. Winans. gives this advice to
unlucky fishermen who may have the
misiortune to get a hook into their ha.i
so they cannot get it out. Instead of
butchering the hand up by trying to cut
it out, break the shaft off or cut it in two
and pull the hook on through. It will
hurt far less, not make nearly eo bad a
wound, is easier done and will heal in lest
time.
