A Bit Historical.
When our grandfathers a hunting went,
in the long ago, they took down, from its
peg on the wall, a gun of no mean dimen
sions lung of barrel and strong of sUx'k.
Over o.ie shoulder was thrown the pollsheil
powder born, and over the other the buck
skin bullet pouch embroidered In fancy
worsted by the good man's wife. Then the
Hint was carefully tented against good steel
that. It might, without fall, strike fire, when
the hunter took aim and pulled trigger 011
the bounding buck.
And In those samo days came a wonderful
Invention of picture taking and with much
pain and suffering our grandfathers. In stiff
stocks and with face chalked, "looked pleas
ant" for full twenty minutes together, that
we. their derendants, might SO© t heir feat ur
es In little plushed lined cases, gay wlt.li
brass trimmings.
AND TO DAY; We defy the very el
ements we use. The crack of the sports

puff of smoke. The photographer Is no long
