OF THE MOOSE. 



To the worthy judge and banker they 

 looked as big as oxen. All three were 

 in the throes of death. 



There was great rejoicing in the de- 

 pot camp that night. The two friends 

 thought themselves favored by the gods 

 of the chase beyond their deserts. The 

 story of the great hunt was soon current 

 in the community in which the hunters 

 lived. The version of it given here, 

 with slight variations, is that of one of 

 the principals in the episode.
