How It Came to an Untimely End.

The party arrived at its destination an hou- or two before nightfall and proceeded to unload. The tent, the camp-stove, blankets, eatables, guns, ammunition, game-bags fishing-rods, and other necessities ot the campaign were taken out of the wagon by Mike and Larry and piled on the ground. “I guess that s all,” said Mike, preparing to climb out. “Not by a ju_ful,” responded Tennis, the ranking officer of the squad. “Look over in that corner beyant ye. There's a jug. It’s full. Mind, now, how ve handle it!” Larry picked up the jug with great alacrity. Put in handing it out he had the misfortune to strike it against the hind wheel.
