THE GAME BREEDER 



The Dog in the Manger. 



The Game Protectionist takes in a lot of money but often puts birds which he don't eat 



on the song bird list. 



OUTINGS AND INNINGS. 



Angler and Warden. 



A man walking along a country road 

 met a farmer with a fishing pole on his 

 shoulder and this conversation followed : 



"Well, did you catch many fish?" 



"Nope, not today, but I caught four- 

 teen fine bass yesterday." 



Man, turning back his coat to show 

 badge, "Do you know you are talking to 

 the game warden?" 



Farmer — "And do you know you are 

 talking to the biggest liar in Knox 

 County?" 



More Whiskey. 



At an Irish assizes a deaf old lady, 

 who had brought an action for damages 

 against her neighbor, was being exam- 

 ined, when the judge suggested a com- 

 promise, and instructed counsel to ask 



what she would take to settle the matter. 



"His lordship wants to know what 

 you will take ?" asked the learned coun- 

 sel, bawling as loud as he could in the 

 old lady's ear. 



"I thank his lordship, kindly," an- 

 swered the dame ; "and if it's no incon- 

 venience to him, I'll take a little whiskey 

 and water." 



More Game. 



A gentleman complimented a lady on 

 her improved appearance. 



"You are guilty of flattery," said the 

 lady. 



"Not so," replied the gentleman, "for 

 I vow you are as plump as a partridge." 



"At first," replied the lady, "I thought 

 you guilty of flattery only, but now I 

 find you are actually making game of 

 me."
