AMATEUR PHOTO BY N. B. GRESLEY. 



AN OLD-TIMER AT HOME. 



I enclose, as a contribution to your valu- 

 able magazine, a photograph of an aged 

 sportsman, and his cabin, situated in the 

 woods about 8 miles from here. This old 

 man, who is commonly called " Old man 

 Phillips," was one of the pioneers of this part 

 of the country and 25 years ago built this 

 cabin on the spot where a noble buck fell 

 a victim to his deadly aim. To-day, in spite 

 of the fact that Phillips is 67 years old, he 

 can tramp through the woods all day, with 

 his gun and his dog " Judge " (a cross be- 

 tween a bloodhound and a retriever), and 

 keep up with the best of the younger sports- 

 men, who take delight in shooting in his 

 company. 



He has many friends, for which of us does 

 not enjoy listening to the experiences so 

 graphically narrated by such a true sports- 

 man as this old man? He quotes from 

 Byron, Tennyson, Shakespeare, and Mil- 

 ton, with the same ease with which he bowls 

 over the grouse that takes wing.
