DIALOGUE OF THE GAME HOGS. 



JOHN L. WOODBURY. 



"Say, Jim, heard the news? 

 That new kind of gun? 

 Just pull and keep a-pullin' 

 Until the whole thing's done. 

 When the birds git ter risin' 

 Ye don't stop ter cock, 

 But soak it right to 'em 

 Till ye down the whole flock.' 

 "Yes, Bill, I've heard on't, 

 And something else, tew ; 

 That dog-goned Coquina — 

 I've swore till all's blue ! 

 He's dropped on the racket. 

 Good and hard, with both feet. 

 The thing's good as squelched, 

 Winchester's already beat." 

 "Plague take that old cuss ! 

 He's spoiled us more fun ! 

 Once the more a chap shot, 

 The more braggin' folks done; 

 But now if ye hang tew it 

 An' make a big kill 

 They all holler 'Game hog !' 

 Or 'Give that pork more swill.' " 



Mrs. Burne Coyne — I saw the loveliest 

 dress to-day that just suited me. It was 



$IOO. 



Mr. Coyne — I hope you don't pay that 

 awful price for it. 



Mrs. Burne Coyne — Of course not. I 

 had it charged. — N. Y. Evening Mail. 



Novia Scotia contains only about 20,- 

 000 square miles of land, but I know 

 of no other place that has so many moose. 

 It is a complete natural park, and is en- 

 tirely surrounded by the ocean except for a 

 strip of land about 16 miles wide. A large 

 part of it is located just right for moose 

 and game, having large bays, beautiful 

 lakes and rivers. These waters are well 

 stocked with a number of kinds of fishes. 

 Salmon can be taken on a fly from 

 the first of February until October. In 

 my surveying business last fall I saw 7 dif- 

 ferent moose in one week. My men with 

 me were anxious to have me call for moose. 

 Tracks were numerous. The third day of 

 the season, which began October 1st, I be- 

 gan calling at dawn. The morning was 

 good. I got an answer from a large bull 

 at once. He came like a mad creature, 

 hacking and breaking all before him, and 

 before the sun was up we were standing by 

 the side of the finest moose I ever killed. 

 His horns were perfect, with a spread of 50 

 inches. His weight was 800 pounds. 



Our forest is completely stocked with 

 moose, and other game is easy to get. 

 Sportsmen can reach here quickly and need 

 only spend a few days, if they get the right 

 guide, in procuring a good head. Accidents 

 are rare in our forests. Our guides are 

 fairly good and can be got at reasonable 

 rates.
