THE OLD MAN'S COON DOG.-Bo>> H, is a stable 

 keeper up in New Hampshire. Bob is also quite a coon 

 hunter and keeps a pair of coon does, which be thinks are 

 not to be beat. One ni^ht some parties caught a fine large 

 coon alive and brought it to Bob's stable an*! put it in a. 

 barrel. Bob brought out the does to showwhat thev would 

 do with Mr. f!oon. The barrel was turned down on the side 

 and one of the dogs told to take him out. The conn was 

 not in the mood to come out just then, and Zir> got the 

 worst of it and could not take him out. Old Zack was 

 brought up and told to take him out. and in went his head. 

 The coon was there and after a. desperate tussle the doe 

 gave up the job as a bad one. The crowd here became iubi- 

 lant over the defeat of BnVs dogs. Just then Farmer H. 

 comes alone and asks, "What's the matter?" On beine 

 told he said, ''That 'er dog of mine can take him otit," 

 pointing to a cross between a shepherd and just doe for the 

 other part. "Bet you SSO he can't." says Bob. "I guess T 

 can kiver that; put up the pictures," the old man says, and 

 to Bob's astonishment out came the greenbacks. The money 

 was put in a third party's hands. On time being palled 

 farmer H. takes bis dog by the collar and head and backs 

 him into the barrel. "When he comes in contact with the 

 coon the coon just fastens to the dog's rear. With a howl 

 of astonishment the dog gives a jump, and out comes Mr. 

 Coon before he knows what's up. The dog turns on him, 

 and before he gets over his astonishment he is a gone coon. 

 "Well, I never squeal, old man," says Bob. "The money is 

 yours. But I'll be hanged if there aint more than one way 

 to get a coon out of a barrel."— Coon.
