...uncommon thing for a knocked-down deer to do. A bullet clipping a deer at the base of the horns or just above the spine will often stun the animal for some time.

It is not an uncommon face in the U. S. but a single man brought its fame far above the fame of many another face-Woodrow Wilson. Today the type is perhaps best seen in onetime Editor Edward W.
