I ought to be :vlni on my back listening to the VIctrola. or even better still. T ought to be In bed, aound asleep. Not only am I fall of grub, but I drove about fifty miles thla afternoon and shot a box of shells at clay birds tossed by the hand trap. Nor Is that all. Our celebrated coon hunt came off last night and deprived me of much sleep and some surplus fat.

There were eight members of the club there, huvoaiy iour oi tnose present couia do pre vailed Upon to go when the time came, and we had te use force to get Neff out. Well, there wer three others who were keen to go, none of them mem bers of the club, and with my friend Bill Btendel from up In Connecticut, who provided the hound, we filled two nve-passenger cars Tom Prunty's and Eben Ford's. We got started about 10 o'clock, and drove out about three miles from here, to a farm where I get tny potatoes and apples. Mrs. Turner made us all come In the house and have some coffee, and then we lit up our carbide lanterns and went up to the woods behind the house, ' and Bill ' turned his hound loose. Incidentally, of the nine of us, Bill, Tom and I, were the only ones who had ever been on a coon hunt. The Warming-Up Process. The hound did a lot of circling round for a while without saying a thing, and Bill had to keep whooping him on. And all the time we were working down through the woods. Bill was strong for hunting the rock ledges, because he said in this part of the country the coons are found (n the ledges. This kept us traveling pretty brlsky and in about an hour we had covered a lot of ground but without the hound starting anything but a couple of rabbits. Both times when they got one or those rabbit scares the gang started to run to get to the hound, and Neff hurt one of his shins pretty bad. And when they finally had something to run for, why not half of them had sense enough to. The real show started about twelver thirty. The hound got to taking things in his own hands, so to speak, and took over a big ridge and down along the waterworks creek, and first thing we knew he opened up Just like nld times. "Toobl" And we all stood and listened. "Toop!" Another pause. "Yoop!" "Coon," snaps Bill. "Come on!" anil awav he went, lickety split. The do went straight down the preek. and he traveled fast. In five minutes we must have been strung out over half a mile of woods. Tou know how a fellow will run in the dark when he is excited. Well, be sides Bill, there were four others or n who ware as keen to get to mat dog as Bill was, and so none of us nve stopped, to listen once we aianea. nauilt wa over-ran the dog, who had doubled back on the other side of the creek the son-or-a-gun actually 101 lowed that trail across a footlog with out getting puzzled ana losing omo.

Old Tom was first to see the coon, way up in a crotch on oneofl the forks of the big tree, and lie Immediately took charge. Being president ot the club and Tom Prunty, he got away with it. "No ahoofing," declaims Tom. "We I ,r. Otlt iOr : BOOn. Hill v, ,.iuo. I Where are those climbing Ironef In about aide the sycamore. He clambed right drlMt about how noon up on a level with Br'er Coon, and that meant he went right to the top oi tne tree ne climbed, and then he turned his electrie eearch light on, lit the ringtail up like he was behind the footlights., and fired his revolver. Re sult, momentary quiet, then , ''hell broke loose." With six or sevee searchlights on the tree, nearly everybody, saw the coon beat it from Tom, and they all yelled at once. But Bill didn't shoot it, because Tom said when. he went up the tree that he would only shoot to scare the coon Mr. Coon knew too much to go down that tree. He took a limb on fhe opposite side to Tom and ran out It. Then, whether dazzled by the light or purposely Jumping down he went into the creek. But only Bill saw mm drop. , ' Grabbing the dog In his arms, Bill Jumped right off the high bank Into the deep water It was about three feet deep there under the tree and then turned the dog loose, with his head pointed In the right direction, at the same time yelling "Eat 'lm up Tune! Eat 'em up Tune!" And that wild old coon hound never once lost his head. He wan after that coon there In the dark like a destroyer af ter a U-boat, nailed him In the shal low water, and they fought it out right there. There was so much excitement no body ehlned his light on the fight quick enough to see anything. Then, what do you suppose? When the dog had got his Job about done and was shaking the coon, Neff and the three young fellows who came along took a near Brodle Into the creek !U was Just like, a charge' I think some guy yelled. Come on. Well, te prevent pneumonia they all had to run all the way to Turners. I told Ed. Turner bow It was. Then we took over the kitchen, built a whale of a fire, filled up with hot cof fee, and the Ave wet ones took off their wet Clothes, wrung them out and put them on again. And at three o clock we came home at about forty miles an hour, with our coon. Say, Billy, I'm going to bed. Cordially, TED. Qt'ESTIOBrS AND ANSWKIUS.

It begini. simultaneously with the movement of the bullet or shot charge from Its starting point. 1 the straight grip an aid in trap shooting, and if not what Is Its ad vantage? T O., Terre Haute, Ind. The so-called straight grip on a shotgun stock Is a detriment rather than an aid to shooting except when used on a double -un. Its purpose is solely to facilitate changing the grasp of the trigger hand when changing from the front trigger to the rear one. A pistol grip gives a better hold, and this Is important, because the trigger hand properly does most of the holding. The forward hand must not grasp the gun so firmly, as this Interferes with aiming. m In long range rifle shooting, what effect does temperature have? What I want to know is if It affects the rifle, the eyesight of the shooter or. the flight of the bullet. ' H. T. D.t Oskaloosa, la. It affects the flight of the bullet, precisely the elevation of hits on the Virget.
