GrOund-Hog Ca tching.

John Mackerly, of Pellettown, Sus-
sex county, N. j., has adopted meth
cd of catching ground-hogs which will
probably draw the attention of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals to his case. He catches a
land-turtle, which are numerous in
that locality. Through its shell at the
tail end he bores a small hole. Taking
a ball of candlewick, he unwinds a
foot or so of the wick and then fastens
it so no more will unwind. Tying the
end through the hole in the turtles
shell. ho saturates the ball with kero-
sene. Taking the turtle to the mouth
of the ground-hog's hole, he puts it in
and touches a match to the saturated
candlewick. The heat from the burn
ing ball starts the turtle into the hole
in hurry, and keeps it going. The
fiery pxpcession alarms the ground
hog, and in very few seconds he
comes tearing from the hole, and falls
an easy victim to the hunter. When
the turtle reaches the limit of the hole,
being still prompted onward by the
fire in his rear, he turns and marches
back again; and when he emerges
from the hole the burning ball is re-
moved, and he is given a rest until
wanted for the chase another day.
The Mackerly system of hunting
ground-hogs is said to have revolution
lied the sport in that part of Jersey,
all the famous grounding slayers hav-
ing adopted it.-M. 7. San. .s1<~

Neal Fields EasiIy-Earned Fee.

Neal Fields, you will remember, was
in the chancery court clerks Office with
Steve Chipley. Constant communica-
ton with members of the bar gave him
q good idea of law, and he resolved to-
go west and adopt the practice. Ha
arrived at Albuquerque one night, and
next day was engaged in murder
case which at that time was attracting
attention all over the territory. :
Among the many ranchmen was q
burly old fellow named Carter, who
styled himself king" and was q ter
ror for miles around. Carter had
small regard for the property OF other
people, and made 4 specially OF claim
ing all the cattle that strayed upon his
pastures. Other ranchmen were afraid
to demonstrate with him personally.
and were forced to resort to the courts
A Kentucky attorney named Hagan
was in Carter's employ, and was usual
ly successful.
A fatal shooting affray occurred ON
the streets of Albuquerque one night
Not long afterward Carter was lodged
in Jail and charged with murder. He
had killed a fellow-ranchman for q
trifiing insult, and the spectators loud
ly proclaimed that it was in cold blood.
That night there were rumors of mob
vengeance, and the prison was placed
under heavy guard.
Lawyer Hagan was sent for the NEXT
day to visit Carter. At first he hesii
tailed; he had made up his mind to
have nothing to do with the case A
second messenger arrived, and Hagan
concluded to visit Carter.
There is this much about it, said tha
attorney: 81 have defended you the
last time. ALI your wealth could not
hire me to take charge of your de-
fense."
Then for Gods sake recommend
somebody" said the imprisoned cattle
king. Hagan promised and left
On the way from the prison to his
office he met Neal Fields. The two
had known each other in Kentucky,
and were not long in renewing the old
acquaintance. The case of Carter was
mentioned to Fields, and he was asked
if he would enlist for the defense.
''If l get money enough" replied
Fields, with a keen eye to business.
You shall have all the money you
want" was the reassuring reply
Hagan turned and led the way back to-
the Jail. Fields was introduced to-
Carter, and agreed to take the case A
check for $1,000 was signed then and
there and turned over to the young at
torney. Fields went to work on the
case. The first thing he did was to
draw his money from the bank.
The next day Albuquerque was
startled when. it became known that
during the night a mob of masked
men had taken Carter from the jail
and lett him swinging from a limb
Fields had the $1,000, and his client
was beyond defense. Co2Ir-

The Poet Stedman.

Whatever we may say of Mr.. Sted-
mans opinions, every one here admires
him for the splendid fight he has made
since his failure as banker and broker
two years ago. He retains his seat in
the Board of Brokers and spcculates on
his own account while continuing his
literary work unremittingly. Every
dollar of his indebtedness-nearl
$500, ,OO0-was paid. In the days of
his prosperity he occupied a charming
house on Fifty-fourth street. near Fifth
avenue, full of beautiful books and
pictures by his artist friends. On the
top floor was his study. a spacious
room, containing an immense table, a
well-stocked library, and masses. of
newspaper cuttings and manuscript
material. There every night. after a
long days labor at his office and in the
Stock Exchange, with part of an even
ing spent perhaps at the Century Club,
he applied himself to composition at
an hour when most people were going
to bed, and wrote until 2 o'clock in the
morning. His hospitality was always
generous and attractive. At present
he leases Mrs. Bayard Taylor's house
in Thirtieth street, during her absence
in Europe, and does not go out any
where except to the Century and Au-
thors' Clubs. He pursues the same
system of work all day in the Shrek
ing crowd of the Stock Exchange,
where the thermometer goes up to 100
degrees in the shade, followed by liter
ary tasks in the evening. Before his
financial disaster he was building for
himself q picturesque castle by the sea
at Newcastle, N. H., but this summer
he remains in New York. Altogether
Stedman is a much more remarkable
figure than Rogers. the once famous
banker poet of London. Although
small of stature and far from strong
physically. his abundant iron gray
beard and sparkling eyes hint of the
energy that has kept him up. Hardly
one man in a thousand could have led
those two exacting and harrassing
lives of broker and author without
breaking DOWN. Y Letter to Wash
imgton Post.
