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. j; Agcirts for the "POSTAL TYPEWRITER."
