A man with his left arm in a sling was telling a passenger on a Fort street car what ailed him and how it happen ed. Said he: “My boy Henry likes to go hunting, and so last Soonday I takes my gun und goes oudt by der Norris road mit him to kill some squinels. Pooty soon we vhas separated, und I goes along by a thicket, und Henry shoots me mit his shotgun.” “Accidentally, of course ?” “Of course. He sees me creeping along, imd takes me for a wolf.” “A wolf! Why, there isn’t a wolf within 500 miles of Detroit.” “Dot vhas so, but Henry doan’ know it until we comes back home. He feels werry bad aboudt it. Henry vhas a good boy, und next time he doan’ make sooch a mistake—he shoots me for a woodchuck.” —Detroit Free Press.
