where the chicken usually j;cts the
ax. He retrieved himself, however,
on Monday by shooting ten out of
fifteen blue rocks from the trap, for
which he was presented with Klon

with the ladies of McKees and sur
rounding towns, and occasionally
goes out driving in the evening.

very pleasant tor the jwrty, and the

The week has been a very enjoy
able one, and the party expect, if
nothing prevents, to renew it again
next fishing season.
