Catching Ducks in Rat Traps.
Philadelphia Press

"Well, if that amt the dod- dingdest
way to catch ducks that I ever heard
OF, said Warren Ridgeway, the super
intendent of the Kilgour Bluestone
companies quarries in the Delaware
and Lackawaxen valleys as he sat in
the BARRIERS chair at the Delaware
house the other day.
''Row's?" that said man who had
happened to be awaiting his turn in
| the chair.
"Well, Jim Sheir has been trying
to catch ducks in rat traps. Jim was
up the road with me the other day,
and he met one of the employees
at Rowlands and got the idea from
him. You know the Lacka waxen
river is great resort for ducks at this
time of the year. They swim along
the open spots where the ice has not
formed and feed On the fish IN the
river, often diving long distances I'M
der the Ice In pursuit Of their prey.
This man of ours, Wendell Phillips
Hale by name, was stuck with the
idea that If traps were set In the bot
tom of the river and baited with fish
he could catch some ducks. He seat
for gross of ordinary steel rat traps
and put one or two in the river every
place he could find an open spot. He
tied a small, live fish to the pan of
each OF the traps as bait. The traps
were set while he was On his way to
work IN the morning and remained in
the river ali day. The ducks swim
ming above the trap would see the
fish, make a dive for the tempting
morsel, strike the pan of the trap and
all would be over with 1t. The Jaws
Of the trap catch the duck by the neck
and when Hale, at evening, came to
| inspect his traps series of duck tails
tails floating just above the surface Of
the water would tell how successful
had been his days work. He has been
known to take as many as rs ducks
out Of the river in one day.
Last week when Jim Shier was up
the road he made the acquaintance of
Hale. Hale explained the matter
thoroughly to Shier, and took him
| down the river where one of the traps
was placed to show him how it work
| ed. There was duck in the trap
when they arrived. Ever since that
day jim has been studying up on
ducks, and | think he has been trying
Hale's plan down here in the Della
ware river. [ suppose the blamed fool
didn't know that there amt a duck
within ten miles of Port Jarvis, bar
ria the tame ones of Mrs. McGuin-
ness, who lives along the river"

An Important Invention.

A happy time is at hand for English
play-wrights; for soon it will be pos
sible to fill theatres nightly without
works of genius to attract the public.
It will not matter who the players en-

have SINE to look at them. Ali this

Gentlemen seated behind ladies
whose hats obscure their view of the
stage have long prayed for the inven

menls they can hardly have hoped
that it would prove so amusing a toy
to the other sex as to become at
once popular. Such, however, is the
case. The theatre kat for ladies Sis

WHEELS OF FATE.
by BESSIE CHANDLER.

We met within tent and at fair,
Where for dime cher price was far from
great)
And in a dress which gypsies never wear,
She told my fortune on wheel Oh fate
Oh little wheel, be kind to RE,
And make my fortune fair to seel
Thinking of her while riding on my wheel,
And wondering should never see her more,
Musing how strange and queer she made me
feel,
"took a header at her very door.
Oh big, bright wheel, it was not meet
To lay me thus before her feet.
They helped me in. for was stunned and half
dazed,
My poor bumped head they kindly tried to
nurse
And on my dear ones form again gazed-
My head grew better and my heart grew worse
thanked you for your shabby trick,
Oh, shameless wheel, so bright and quick.
After that, as rode by each day,
used to bow, to stop, and then to wait,
Till finally always rode that way.
And never farther than the little gate
Oh how you leaned against that rate,
In those bright days, big wheel Of fate!
The rest-how can ever tell the rest?
One day, the gladdest day of all my life,
With daisies in her hands and on her breast,
The gypsy girl became my own dear wife.
For orange flowers are out of date,
But daisies look like wheels Of fate.

Private Secretary East.

4 Cleveland Leader correspondent
at Washington writes: Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks private secretary,
Col. East, is still about the capital,
and would, think. like a position if
he could get it. President Cleveland
is not averse to granting him a place,
but the Indiana men want so many
other places for their constituents who
can do them some favor in the future
that they are not pushing East's claim
as much az might be. If you tell them
that East ought to have a position
they will say yes East is good fell
low, and I suppose he ought to have
a place, but you want to be a little
careful about East, I don't believe he
could do the party very much good.
The other day the president was speak.
ing about East to Senator Voorhees,,
when the senator asked him If he had
heard of East's stock speculation. The
president said he had not. Then Vor-
bees went on:
Well. it is funny story, and hap
pened some years ago. East was worth
about $50, GOO, and he concluded that
Ian SOAA0 11cshS q III Will Lii Ii AC
went to Chicago. He had friend
who was somewhat interested with
him at Indianapolis, and before he
left that city promised to keep him ad-
vised by telegraph as to how he got
along. The noon of the day he arriv-
ed at Chicago he sent the following
telegram:
'Have a pointer on wheat and have
invested"
Att o'clock his friend received an
other, which read:
wheat has risen a point and half.
God is goodl"
At o'clock third telegram arrived.
It read:
Wheat has fallen five points. Good
God!"
''This," concluded Senator Voorhees,,
cleaned East out and put stop to
his speculation"
Both of the men the president and
the senator laughed heartily over the
story.

again, and up it goes to the former
position. Doubtless timid gentlemen
will be little alarmed by the theater
hat at first, and the accidental bob
bing up now and then during the per-

These are small matters. As, how
ever, it would have a much prettier
effect if the hats worked in harmony,
it would be a good idea for the invent
