However, I Lave been an ardent hunter with dog and gun and here arc a few sketches about my experiences: On one occasion Monroe Wells and I took a little black, benchleggcdi dog and went 'possum huntiitg. We walked so fast that tvc got about a mile away from the dog, when suddenly we heard! him start yelping. Monroe sat down on the ground and leaned his back against one tree and I sat down lihe-jiEe. leaning against another. McKroe had aa I had a nth SOUTHPORT. N. C. Nakina Youth ? Named Champ ?

It wasn t long before we deter- J mined that the dog was coming toward us. "He's trailing us," J Monroe said, laughing. But I did [ j not laugn. ine ciog oeiongeu iu me. I had paid Joe Reeves five dollars for him, and so I held out that he was trailing a 'possum. "Keeps coming closer," Monroe said, cocking his head to one side, and straining his ears. "Yes," I admitted. "He might come here and bark up this very " tree that I am leaning against, but he's after a 'possum." "Better flash your light up and sc see," Monroe suggested. "You might have your 'possum treed, af at that." 3C "No," I held out, "I'm going to bc give my dog a break. Let him s* do the treeing." 1,1 Well, by now, dear reader, you al have guessed the answer. Sure 'c enough the dog came directly to s'} the tree that I was leaning against, reared up against it and ei barked the "tree bark". So I flashed my light upward and ? there sat Br'er 'possum about ten p< feet up, perched on a limb about c'' the size of my thumb. On another occasion Roy Dew m and I went hunting with the same little black dog and in the same lowlands. This time my dog started off by chasing a nice, fat 'possum into a hollow log, which we quickly extracted. Ten minutes later he had another up a bent-over holly. It was a murky-black night, but by the aid of my flashlight I was able to knock this 'possum out after plugging him with three rifle bullets. One of these broke his lower jaw-bone. Another bored through his stomach and the third broke a shoulder. When he fell out of the tree the dog took him and shook him nhnnt until both Rov and I fear cd that Br'cr 'possum's hide would be torn into bits. But there was some sign of life left after Roy got him away from the dog. so he put Br'cr 'Possum's bead on the ground, placed the ax handle upon his neck, apd pulled until something gave away. "He'll die, now!" Roy exclaimed with glee. "Sure was a hard 'possum to kill!" "Yeah," I replied. "Well, if he ever lives he'll never over it, at least." Then we set out to find another one. I have said the night was extremely dark. Now I want to 1 emphasize that it was also freezing cold. But in a few minutes | the dog treed again. This lime 1 in a tree that grew from the creek bank out over water that , was about 12 feet deep. I climbed the tree as high as I could then cut the top out and let both top and 'possum fall into the water. The 'possum swam to the hill where the dog caught him and killed him. Then, lo! and hehold! we dis1 covered that the 'possum we had ( almost riddled had recovered during this last excitement, and had l made such a complete get away that even our dog could not find I him! ! Occasionally I meet up with some reader who thinks that ! the life of a trapper is all rosy. That is a grave misunderstand, 1 ing, to say the least. One who traps usually has a very hard | i life. It is a life, however, that j , is punctuated with much happiness. That is, if one has outdoors I living existing in his blood, i Speaking of some of the rough- \ ' cr sides of the picture, though. reminds me of the time that i Lycurghus Roberts, Dobra Little and I decided to go on a long i hike to set some traps. There ' ; was a shortage in game in our old haunts, and so we set out on a twelve mile, one way hike. Each of us had about forty i pounds of steel traps in a bag which he carried from one shoulder while in one hand lie earned a ritle, a bush-knife cr a ham: mer. Yv'fc each had a generous. S inch of fresh pork and juicy a veet potatoes. Enough for two r leals, each. ii We got a late start, however, id around noon we had gone . ily about halfway to the terriiry we had started toward. And ntil that time the territory we ^ id walked over was rough, our d paths had grown up millions ( ' cat-claw briars, and so it was lat we were at that early hour, lenty tired and hungry. The three of us stopped on a ,rge canal bank and ate our itire supply of food. We were if ireless though, because we had c >o much for one meal, and we r irew down generous scraps of r itatoes and rib-bones and pieces a ? backbones with some good a lickins" 'left on them. a While doing this a thought OC- 1 jrred to me, and I said: "Boys, e might come back this way, c id if we do, these scraps will l ok good to us." "And if we do f it," Dobra said, "they will look 1 lod to a fox or a "coon." Well, we laughed about it then, J :cause we had an idea that we ould follow an old tr^il back ime which we knew to be a ( luch shorter route; and after rinking a fill of the babbling c ater in the canal, we resumed 1 jr journey. t LITTLE BITS 5 OF BIG NEWS highway.
