FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 21, 1893. 



THE LONELY COOT. 



Tom Jenkins owne.a an old musket, 



Aged ninety years or more; 

 At d evprywhere that Jenkins went, 



You'd And this old smoothbore. 



He took it to the shore one day, 



The wary duck to Shool; 

 And when the pebbly beach he reached, 



He Fpied one lonely coot. 



Tom hid behind a pile of stones 



That this coot he might secure; 

 He capped his gun with a G. D. cap, 



And aimed both long. and sure. 



For ODCP the Kun did not miss fire, 



To Tom's unbounded glee; 

 A.nd around that coot's devoted head 



Struck a charge of double B. 



But the coot it never moved or winked. 



Or turned upon its back. 

 So in his gun Tom again poured home 



An ounce of powder black. 



Da trp of this a dried grass wad 



And a pound of double B; 

 All rammed home by T' m's strong arm. 



And capped with the old G. D. 



Eight times or more Tom shot in vain. 



Then cursed hia wayward luck; 

 This iron-clad coot that died so hard 



Was but a decoy duck. Hbrbbrx A. Davibs.

The Quail Shooting Club. 



"Quail shooters who have been used to expending much 

 time and money per quail for their sport, will do well to 

 investigate the plan proposed by an advertiser, "Quail 

 Shooter," in this issue. A3 explained to ug this is a per- 

 fectly practicable project for securing unusual quail 

 shooting: opportunities, and there is in it nothing of a 

 speculation for the advantage of the advertiser, who is a 

 sportsman, and has no axe to grind. 



Want a Camp Away Back. 



Editor Forest and Stream: Having but two or three 

 wpekd at our dieposai tnis fall, and consequently not 

 wi-btng to gpf nd much time en route, a small party of 

 us have concludfd to try Pike county. Pa. We wisn to 

 get well back and f stablit-h a camp. Cdn some cf your 

 r« aders give us through the co.umns of your valuable 

 p .per a pointer on the befat locality for bear and deer, and 

 how to reach it ? - W, A. D. 



Hardly. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



D d you ever see or imagine anything more unsports- 

 maDlike, irccmsistent, more double-faced or incongruous 

 than thp spectacle of a profeseed sportsmen's paper this 

 weekcffermg nets for sale for advertiser of all 'descrip- 

 tions, both for fieh of all kinds and partridges, etc, 

 ■ Why, ii'd shameful. Old School. 



"That reminds me." 



Bill Philip, a big, good natured Irishman— Red Bill 

 we Called him — told me he never shot a gun in his life. 

 He always had a fine dog, usually a hound, and was fond 

 of going hunting with eome one of us hunters, taking his 

 dog along on a chain. Passing his cabin one morning, I 

 noticed his dog — a powerful hound— and I said to Bill, 

 "What did you cut his tail off foi?" "Well, I tell ye," 

 says Bill. "Jim Mason an' me went hunting up the iJog 

 Meadow Creek the other day, and just below where the 

 tote road crosses it we jumped a big buck. The dog see 

 him and gives a big jump and jerked me down on me 

 hands and face, and away be went chain and all. The 

 deer run across the alder bottom, and was just at the 

 culass, when Jim shot at it. We went and looked, and 

 Jim says, 'We'll get it; here is lots of blood;' and sure, 

 the blood was spattered all over. We followed the trail 

 down across the hardwood ridge to the river, and over 

 into the big blow-down about a mile, finding blood all the 

 way, when the dog came back to ua. And phat do ye 

 think? Efery bit that Jim hit the deer was to shoot two 

 inches cff the tail end of the dog." Igsotus,

DUKINMELD HouSB, Avnra, North Carolina, May 18. 1802,— 

 FoifcBt and stream Pub. Co.: Dear Sirs — Last SPaeon I put a 

 small advertisement of my hotel in yoxf valuable journal, and I 

 must say it brought me letters from all over the country, and 

 was Ihe cause ot quite a number of first-class Northern sportsmen 

 finding my shootiijg place. I advise all who have hotels, shooiiog 

 resorts, or anything for sale, to give your paper a chance. We 

 are malsing great ijrcpiralions for the coming season, as we have 

 lois of quailleft over for breeding purooses. While 1 am writing 

 this there are several calling within 200rds. of the hotel. We arc) 

 sowing large patches of buckwheat, peas, and outs all over the 

 preserve, and intend adding one thousand more quail to the pre- 

 serve earlv next seRfon. I also intend giving the Forest and 

 Stiieam another ad vertisement when the season open", to let all 

 siJortsmen know where good shooting can be found, as I bflii-ve 

 they will bo sure to see it if it is in the Foeest and SaHEAii, as I 

 think all the hpst of sportsmen read it. We also have as flue bass 

 fishing at my place as can be found ant whPi-e, and the door is 

 alwa.\s open to strangers.— S. W. Evbeitt Manager.
