THE
PLEASURES OF OTTER HUNTING
Master
(to sportsman, who has been guarding a "stickle" all morning
in the east wind). "Stay there a bit will you, old,
chap. We are just going down here to get out of the wind for
lunch."

A
QUESTION OF HANDS
Sportsman
(who has come off over the tail). "You silly ass, you
needn't laugh. Can't you understand the reins were so
slippery I couldn't get any hold!"

"AND
HERE'S A LINE TO FOLLOW!"
(Drink,
puppy, drink.") From the "Pipely Herald. &emdash; "Miss
Harkaway was out on her new hundred guinea hunter,
'Limerick,' bought, we understand, with the proceeds of a
recent literary success. A beaten competitor informs us that
the horse, unlike the winning line, has the right number of
feet."

Tim, "Och! Bad luck to him. A devil of a dog for a
rat he always was!"

Old Fell Man. "Well, ar niver wor bet by a job yet.
Ar do always saay, if ar found as a job were like to bet me
&emdash; ar's rather go away and leave it."
