TAKING PRECAUTIONS. A member of a house-party managed to shoot tho head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pheasant-shoot-ing. Next day he again had wretched luck, though the head keeper, without malice, had assigned him a fairly good place. Bang! bang! bang! went his gun every few seconds', but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. Finally his cartridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded. more. "There ain’t no more, sir,*’ the man answered. “No more? Nonsense! Why, you’ve got at least a thousand in that box.” The keeper flushed and stammered“Ah, Abut them ain’t for you, sir. They’re for another gent. They’ve got shot in ’em, sir.”
