DUBLIN 'Yes sir, 1"11 be 8,1 years old in April and t1 can shoot the eye out of a sparrow yet," Michael Jtihn Klinlc- hamnmer observed as he proudly dis- played Ah framed deer hunting lic- enses, from .1907 to 1928 inclusive. Together with the Stunting license is a record of every deer shot by Mr. Ktinkhammer--the type of deer it was, the °date on which it was .shot, where the 'bullet struck and how' many yards he was from 'his target. "We used to go up to the Parry Sound district, along the '\ ituis,eta- w'an River down to iAhmic Harbor and then north for about 20 miles. 1 have got as 'many as three in a sea- son and I have never failed to get at least one. deer every year that I went tip," this .octogenarian' niInrod said, "The best one f ever 'got was a 11111 - pound buck that I shot an she .run at '2215 yards. I got hint right through the 'heart. '[!here is the heart mount- ed on that wall, Let me see now, that was in 920." lOn ,the wall 'directly op- posite the door, was a magnificent head, .with Perfectly formed. . large spreading antlers set well forward on the slender's•knl'l. Another almost per- fect head hung on another wall of the cottage .and Mr. Klinhhamnter said there were heads of deer he had shot, mounted in many homes throughout Huron 'County. Of all the deer he had killed there was only one that re- quired more than one shot to ,bring hitt down, 'The last time I went deer hunting I was 7111 years old 'hitt I stat tt. go out with my 13"9 -year-old shotgun once or twice a year. I was out about a year ago and brought down five rabbits and .one day last summer T got 13 groundhogs. tI use glasses when I am reading or shooting ,but not at other times. My sight 'is .good and so is my hearing," the "young" man said. Born at Wellesley in Wat- erloo County, Mr. KIM( hammer started out in a grocery store in Dub- lin when he was quite a young man. He married Bridget 'Burke in 41881 and this tnan ,of .Dutch descent and his Irish wife live like a pair of hon- eymooners today. 'When one meets \Ls, 'K.linklsammer a strong desire to 'whistle "Mother Machree" usually has to be suppressed, so typical is this lady of the one the song des- cribes, with her ready wit and her silvered, hair. The young couple start- ed nut on a 37 a week salary in their little ,,tore in Dublin and Mr, "Kdink- hammer retired itt i1993, with enough to - provide a comfortable (living for the rest of their 'lives. "I gave a note for the 'first groceries I 'bought for the store and that was the last -secur- ity note I ever gave. By 1119119 I was doing a 31150 a .week 'business and the customers wore out an inch and a quarter pine floor inside of 20 'years," the former storekeeper stated, Mr. Kiinkhanimer was constabile of Dub- lin for 317 years, resigning an 109130. "I don't think 'I made one had friend in all the time I had the job," he said. "Of course I had a 'very quiet team of office." "To get, back to this hunt- ing business," said Mrs. IKhrukham- mer, a faint smile playing ':about her lips, "lie has p'rom'ised to 'take me hunting with him for years note but 1 have never gone, .It does took as if he doesn't want me, doesn't it?" "You'll go this year, for sure, my dear,!' responded her huslbaud fondly. PIPE TOBACCO FOR A MILD, COOL SMOKE
