Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

 

     A. H. Smith, of Coleman County, Tex., is a mighty Nimrod in his particular line, which is wolves. He kills the animals by seasoning the dead cattle on the praies with strychnine,-a condiment of which the wolf is remarkably fond. He thus makes a nine-strike every time; at least we judge so from the fact that he recently shipped to St. Louis 800 pelts in one lot, and proposes to keep up the trade until his stock of dead cattle gives out.
