THE ART OF WOODCHUCKING. 



A few years ago I was at Ridgefield, 

 Conn. Rambling about one day I came on 

 a tall, gaunt, red-whiskered man seated near 

 a roadside spring. He was dressed in brown 

 overalls, blue jumper and straw hat. 

 Against a tree near by leaned a muzzle load- 

 ing rifle, and beside it lay 2 woodchucks. 

 The man saluted me pleasantly as I stopped 

 at the spring, and I stood talking with him 

 a few minutes about the weather and trifles 

 of that sort. I was just going on when 2 

 young fellows came along. They carried 

 repeating rifles and wore shooting coats, 

 leather leggings and expressions of extreme 

 innocence. They caught sight of the wood- 

 chucks, and at once asked the red-whiskered 

 man where and how he killed them. 



" Woodchuckin' is my business," he re- 

 plied. " I'd be foolish to tell you how to 

 kill my game." 



" But we will be here only a few days," 

 said one of the youths, " and could not kill 

 many in that time." 



Perhaps not," answered Red Whiskers; 

 " but every chuck you kill will be 25 cents 

 out of my pocket; for if you didn't get 'em, 

 I would." 



The young fellows looked at each other a 

 moment, and one produced a dollar bill. 

 Handing it to the man, he said, " We would 

 be glad if you would accept this and tell us 

 how we can get some woodchucks." 



Red Whiskers folded the bill carefully and 



tucked it in his pocket. " Do you see that 

 hill?" he began; "on the other side is a 

 meadow and all over it you will find chuck 

 holes. Creep carefully along the fences and 

 you will be sure to get some shots." 



" If the woodchucks are not out; then 

 what? " queried the buyers of information. 



" Then find a hole that looks used, stop it 

 up with stones and — " the man paused and 

 picked up his gun and game. 



" And then what? " asked the young man 

 with breathless interest. 



" Then," said the man, " dig up the hole 

 and take it home. When you want the 

 chuck shake him out." And with this, he 

 started homeward at a brisk pace.
