ERMINE HUNTER
INJURES FINGER
PUR GETS AWAY
_
To serve as Christmas presents
for their lady friends in town, the
boys in the distant camps are util
izing their spare time off duty in
laying traps, snares and pitfalls to
■ secure pelts of the wily fox and
other fur-bearing animals with more
! or less success. The boys at camp
i 373 are reported to be running in
strong opposition to the trappers of
the district and soon after supper
disappear mysteriously into the
woods in the neighborhood of the
. camp.
1 Chief among the fur seekers is
Jack Lodge, the genial chef of
| camp 373, whose long suit is said to
be ermine, the fur most sought
after by the fair ones. Jack, not
satisfied with the ordinary methods
of trapping, goes after his prey
armed to the teeth at every spare
moment.
A few days ago he spotted a
beautiful specimen of the ermine
tribe disporting himself on the snow
and was able to take careful note
of his beautiful fur and the little
dab of black at the tip of his tail,
but alas, was not able to get within
1 range to use his .22 target pistol, j
The ermine haunted Jack, who vowed i
that he would get that pelt for his
best girl anyhow, and he assiduously
i stalked the beautiful critter (the
| ermine, not the girl.)
After many weary days of careful
stalking, he at last managed to get
within range and chuckling inward
ly at his rare good fortune, pre
pared to acquire the much coveted
fur; but the best laid schemes o’
mice and men gang aft agley”, and
just as he was about to press the
trigger something happened. The
ermine gave a short sarcastic little
bark and scurried to safety, simul
taneously with the sharp crack of
the pistol.
Jack picked himselt up and went
sadly back to the store, nursing a
badly scored forefinger where the
bullet had bored its way through.
Joe Roberts, acting as chief surgeon,
assisted by Res. Engineer Hirsch
berger rendered first aid and fixed
him up.
The .22 pistol has been relegated
to the discard and Jack has invested
in a .22 high power rifle, and the
chances of that sarcastic ermine are
very slim indeed. In fact he is
in much the same predicament as
the kaiser is, says Jack. The ermine
if he is wise like the kaiser, may
seek sanctuary in hold land.
