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."

TRIALS OF AN M.F.H.

M.F.H. (who is out for the first time in a little country he has taken in Ireland). "Hold hard, Tim! I think that hound's got a line down the ditch."
Tim, "Och! Bad luck to him. A devil of a dog for a rat he always was!"

NORTH-COUNTRY "GRIT"

Master. "I fear this job's going to beat us."
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."

A FIND IN THE NEW STYLE
